Stuff to Read and Some Previews
Michael Berube has an excellent Jamie story (part II soon) concerning health care decisions for developmental delayed kids. I may have more to say on the subject later but in the meantime I willjust note a lesson we learned when Bobby had to be put under a general anesthesia a couple of years ago. You should use the occasion to accomplish as much as possible. Have a dentist, a barber, and some finger nail clippers ready for when he goes under. It is a great time to do all the hard things.
Iraqi Security forces caught Abu Musab al-Zarqawi and then released him. The same folks in charge of Tora Bora nust have been reassigned to training the Iraqis.
Did Congress have the same intelligence as the President? Josh Marshall points us to a non-partisan report that says no.
Joel Stein has an op-ed in the Los Angeles Times arguing that it is ok to laugh at autistic and other mentally disabled people. I will have more to say about that later.
Would it solve the problem if Froomkin's column was called

A diary at Kos, citing this A.P. report says that Feingold has the votes to prevent cloture on the reauthorization of the Patriot Act.
