The surge and the Easter Bunny.

Lies and stonewalling. Pentagon reports showing a worsening of stability in southern Iraq, were held up until after Patraeus spoke last week. Sad but true. Check the Post.

" A top House Democrat began an inquiry on Tuesday into accusations that the State Department's inspector general repeatedly interfered with investigations into fraud and abuse in Iraq and Afghanistan, including security defects at the new United States Embassy in Baghdad."

Read it in the Times.

The 22 most corrupt members of congress? Geez, Louise. Four are even democrats.
