- Details are still murky at this point, but it looks like President Bush authorized the declassification of information to throw political hand grenades at those who said that he manipulated intelligence in the leadup to Iraq (Valerie Plame, Joseph Wilson). While what he did is totally legal, it's also ethically questionable. Very sloppy.

- Nice try, NBC.

- For those who smoke or have ever been smokers, this is funny.
