Via LGF, The National Post: The world according to Donald Rumsfeld
For those who think world affairs can use a bracing shot of candour, Rumsfeld is the star of this war. At one Pentagon briefing on Afghanistan, some showboating reporter noted that human rights groups had objected to the dropping of cluster bombs and demanded to know why the U.S. was using them. "They're being used on frontline al-Qaeda and Taliban troops to try to kill them," replied Rumsfeld. It was a small indicator of a large cultural shift when NBC's Saturday Night Live introduced a weekly parody of his press conferences, mercilessly mocking not the politician but the dopey journalists.

Keith links to an article claiming that the US is about to commit a wilful war crime. Keith, please tell me you don't agree with what this weirdo is saying 
I really liked the President's speech last night.
I should read Drezner's post-game analysis as well
