Informed Speculation

Pajamas has undergone a facelift – if you haven’t dropped by lately, why not do so now?…

After even more evidence of doctored photos emerged, Reuters has finally withdrawn all photographs taken by the Lebanese freelancer responsible: Reuters withdrew all 920 photographs by a freelance Lebanese photographer from its database on Monday after an urgent review of his work showed he had altered two images from the conflict between Israel and the [...]

Pajamas has rolled out the beta of its newest content area, POLITICSCENTRAL, and I must say it’s an impressive debut. I like the look, and the rebranding, but there is also some really great initial content up there, including interviews with John McCain, Rick Santorum, and Israel’s Amabassador to the United States, so check it [...]

…about plugging the work of a group that I’m associated with when it is self-evidentally good on the merits, and right now, Pajamas is very good indeed on the new Israel war. Tons of good links to keep you occupied for quite some time…

…but even unashamed plugs are right twice a day (oh, wait, that’s stopped watches – well, no matter). If you haven’t checked out the Pajamas Media Blog Week In Review feature, you really should – not because I’m a member of Pajamas, but because they have some truly interesting commentary. Check out this week’s edition [...]

Never mind that headline, just a lame attempt at a cheap laugh… Why did Goss leave, though? AJ and Mac Ranger think he did his duty and went on his merry way… Think Progress sees it as a preemptive move to avoid a burgeoning Duke Cunningham scandal involving Goss appointee Kyle Foggo… TIME says that [...]

The Blog Week in Review, a Pajamas Media podcast…check it out here…

Oh, the idyllic days of youth: Asadullah strives to make his point, switching to English lest there be any mistaking him. “I am lucky I went there, and now I miss it. Cuba was great,” said the 14-year-old, knotting his brow in the effort to make sure he is understood. Not that Asadullah saw much [...]

How are advocates of the viewpoint of George Bush as lawless tyrant reacting to the prospect of the government posting tens of thousands of documents online for public perusal and translation reacting? I’m talking, of course, about the Iraqi document project, an endeavor pushed by Pajamas Media that is now making headlines around the world: [...]

I’ve been blogging on the revelations found in the Iraqi document dump, that, while not conclusive, strongly suggest a lot more cooperation between Saddam and bin Laden than we’ve previously suspected. New evidence from the documents, and a French spy in Saddam’s inner circle, suggest that the WMD case was stronger than we’ve been led [...]

At some point, critics of the war and of President Bush are going to have to get serious about the treasure trove of new information becoming available through the seized Iraqi document dump. How’s this for provocative? A. During the visit of the Sudanese Dr. Abrahim Al Sanoosi to the country and his meeting with [...]

Pajamas has set up a clearinghouse for translations of the Iraq documents cache that was recently released. Let’s hope it gets the attention it deserves…

In an apparent coup for Pajamas Media and bloggers in general, the government has made a gigantic group of seized Iraqi documents available for translation and called for help: Millions of pre-Iraq war intelligence documents are now being posted online, and two Republican lawmakers want bloggers’ help in digesting them. Senator Rick Santorum and Michigan [...]

…Pajamas presents the Worldwide Election Calendar…play around with it for a few minutes, it’s kinda fun…

Steve Gilliard subs for Jane Hamsher, and, astonishingly, manages to keep the quality of the content as low as ever. Here he explains why the fact that the progressive netroots invariably pick the loser means they’re, I don’t know, really cool in some odd way: …[B]ecause we’re independent, our actions don’t affect each other in [...]

…out in meetings all day, so let’s take a look around: Glenn Greenwald notes the rare harmony among left and right on the David Irving story, and uses it as a launchpad to wonder why the core issues underlying the NSA story don’t provoke the same level of agreement… Tom Maguire looks at Greenwald’s theory [...]

I have a bit of a plug here, but it’s a good one: Andrew Marcus of Pajamas interviews Congressman Hoekstra, chairman of the Select House Intelligence Committee, regarding the release of the Saddam Tapes… The New York Sun is reporting the release of the tapes is causing a minor furor, with former CIA directors James [...]

Lots of stuff going on, so let’s just have a few quick shots to start the evening: Pajamas has a new blog covering the Olympics (and I really, really dig the logo)… Speaking of the Olympics, Academo Elephanto wonders why the Torino is so prevelanto… And our old friend AJ has been rubbing shoulders at [...]

Most of you know (heck, it’s right there on the top right of my blog!) that I’m a Pajamas blogger (in more ways than one). As such, I try to participate as much as I can in the special branded blogs the Pajamas Media folks come up with, like the NSA one, or the China [...]

The AG takes to the WSJ‘s editorial page;Glenn Greenwald has a preview of Ted Kennedy’s questions; and Pajamas opens the NSA Files… UPDATE 9:04 a.m.: More roundup goodness from Michelle Malkin…and Glenn Greenwald is liveblogging from just outside the committee room… UPDATE 10:02 a.m.: JPod is surprised at the tone of the hearings (pleasantly (!!!))…
