Rove in civvies isn't such an ugly sight

  • Fitzgerald, by not indicting Rove, may have saved the Democrats from getting too caught up in the politics of vengeance. There was always an analogy to Madame Defarge sitting by the guillotine knitting in the way that Bush haters reveled in every unreliable rumor about a Rove indictment.
  • Vendettas may be emotionally satisfying, but they rarely provide a formula for winning elections. In fact, the best way to get back at Rove is not through criminal prosecution but by forcing him to read an Election Night speech conceding that the Democrats have won back Congress.

Salon answers its critics

  • Salon will continue to try to get to the bottom of charges of election theft in Ohio, but we don't think the available facts prove the election was stolen. We also think unproven claims of theft weaken Democrats' credibility and keep them from the work needed to build an electoral majority, as well as to reform the broken voting system that is at least one obstacle to that majority.

The Evil of Banality - Salon Books

  • "A new biography confirms that Colin Powell went along with the Iraq war because he was following orders. The tragic irony of the good soldier is that he deserted the people he was trying to protect." Article by Gary Kamiya. Sort of a review of Karen DeYoung's biography of Colin Powell, tho' Kamiya draws conclusions about Powell that DeYoung herself doesn't draw. It's not clear what in this article is Kamiya's opinion and what is DeYoung's. Still, an interesting composite interpretation of Colin Powell, one of the most tragic figures in the history of American diplomacy. - krissanthesquad on 2006-10-12
