National Round-Up

Arab Winter:

Poli-sci blogger Matthew Yglesias offers a searing indictment of the faux-centrist, neo-liberal thought at The New Republic that cheered the war in Iraq, and their mealy-mouthed mea culpa. Quite the season for those.

The Next Act:

More terrifying tales from Seymour Hersh, this time on whether the newly-rebuffed Bush administration is more likely to attack Iran. More Hersh here on the Democracy Now! Web site, where you can download his appearance on yesterday's show.
