Friday digest

- From the "truth is stranger than fiction" file comes news that Cindy Sheehan has admitted to fantasizing about travelling back through time to kill the infant George W. Bush in his crib to prevent the Iraq war from happening.

Suffice it to say that this is behaviour becoming of neither a "peace mom" nor someone in complete control of their mental faculties.

- Apologizing to the Wilsons? How about apologizing to everybody else who had their reputation damaged because of this witchunt?

Armitage says he didn't come forward because "the special counsel, once he was appointed, asked me not to discuss this and I honored his request."

"I thought every day about how I'd screwed up," he adds.

Armitage never did tell the president, but he's talking now because Fitzgerald told him he could.

Does this guy have any guts whatsoever? He stood by for three years while his colleagues were pilloried at the hands of a careerist attorney, and only now is he admitting his role in the whole sorry affair. Nice hire, Colin Powell.

- If the Clintonistas are so convinced of their righteousness of their actions in the nine years between the first and second World Trade Center attacks, they shouldn't be demanding that ABC re-edit dramatic miniseries "The Path to 9/11", scheduled to air Sunday and Monday evenings. Conversely, they should welcome its broadcast and refute the insinuations accordingly, as conservatives (and non-conservatives who value truth) did with the award-winning "documentary" Fahrenheit 9/11. One has to wonder why they're so afraid of having their actions put under scrutiny (and I'm no hater of Bill Clinton).

- Wow.
