US Reopening Investigation into Firing on Italian Hostage's Car

First, reopening implies we investigated in the first place. We didn't.

Second, I love how Tony Blankley (blankley is such an apt name) of the Washington Times and others keep snarking about the woman being from a Communist paper. OK, so? Are there different rules for proper behavior? I hate the rabid right but you won't find me firing 300-400 rounds at people like Tony, Jerry Falwell, or Grover Norquist (unless you count a word as a round).

Third, all Bush investigations amount to this: a) they only happen when they feel pushed to do them b) they decide ahead of time what the results will be c) investigators sit around picking their noses and navels until d) lo and behold, the investigation report announces just what they said in the first place.

So when all is said and done (said, not done), we will announce we have no culpability.

We also have no shame.
