The $100 Billion Failure:
Need something to read today? The New York Times has made a draft copy of the "unpublished 513-page federal history" of the failed rebuilding of Iraq available. In the Times' words, the document reveals that when problems developed "the Pentagon simply put out inflated measures of progress to cover up the failures." Just a little more evidence, I guess, that Dick Cheney and company have been utterly successful in re-fighting the Vietnam War.
In the meantime, as Frank Rich points out, we're all agog over the blatant behavior of the Illinois governor who seems to have barricaded himself inside the governor's mansion.
Update: Osama bin Laden still at large. This weekend marked the fifth anniversary of the capture of Saddam Hussein in Baghdad.
