Darfur and a Couple Links
This is wonderful news that a peace deal has been struck on Daruf. Let's all pray it sticks.
Also in the news today, CIA director Porter Goss resigned. As this post at Daily Kos aptly notes, "This isn't part of some White House shake-up. This is a scandal-plagued Bush appointee resigning just as an investigation into another Republican corruption scandal hits too close to home." This is a typical move of releasing bad news on a Friday afternoon. The press will likely put little effort into reporting why he's really resigning (connections to the Duke Cunningham bribe scheme), but that doesn't mean you should go uninformed. When politics have begun to play so heavily in the intelligence world, is it any wonder we get blunders like Iraq?
Finally, read here about how Wal-Mart is leading the way among big businesses to block the common-sense security move of enacting 100% screening of containers at the nation's ports. Gotta love the good old-fashioned big business free market family values Wal-Mart embodies.
