Stateside Politics Trickling Through the High Brandenburg Clouds

The most-forwarded piece this week on the LA Times site is about that British memo on war plans for Iraq in 2002. Is there any defense for Bush about the memo? Any hoax theory or some other smokescreen? Hard to tell; Instapundit is blogging about video gear.

Meanwhile, Conor Oberst from Bright Eyes turned up on the Tonight Show to spit out a protest song, "When the President Talks to God." People have used the word "Dylanesque." Yeah, well. As a ballsy, eloquent protest gesture, it is. As a song, it's not.

And the Washington Post has a jarring piece on the sudden death of a whole Marine squad in western Iraq.
