Phase 2 of the Senate's report on whether the Bush administration manipulated intelligence to go to war finally comes out and man, is it worth the wait. (04:24):
1:47 - 'IN going to war, the administration did not say stuff supported by the facts and said things they knew were lies'

TOP STORIES IN THE US: LESBIANS KISSING!
THESE WERE THE BIG THREE FOR THE "LEFT" IN 2008
ABC ON THE DAY OF THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE REPORT... A FRENCH SPIDER MAN (HEY! AT LEAST THEY LET GO OF THE "FREEDOM FRIES" THING!)
CBS DID A REPORT ON WEB GOSSIP... WHICH WASN'T EVEN NEWS BACK THEN.
