Here I go again, defending Katie.
Why are you always so very critical of her??
I don't hear the same abusive comments about Brian & Charlie. She is every bit as good as they are; of course, she is after all, only a woman. Right???
Her job on the "Today" show would NEVER have permitted her to express her comments on the build up to the war, or any true facts of the war, and most definately any of her opinions.
C'mon give her a break !! I am very happy to hear her speaking out now.
I am a regular nightly viewer.
Good Luck Katie.

Poke Chimpy and his handler in the eyes again, Katie, and again and again, until they start to notice we understand the con job they still believe they are dumping on us. Then a few stories about how things work at the Hague would be in order. Then, have Walter C. do a guest editorial. You can do it!

Ladies and gentlemen, keep in mind that the age-old practice of killing the messenger is STILL A BAD IDEA! What the hell difference does it make WHO says it? What if your crazy Uncle Harry said it, or your minister, or the bartender, your barber, your kid or even the neighborhood sex offender? The truth is the truth.
Once and for all, this unconscionable mess was created by stupid, greedy people who really don't give a damn about the Constitution, the long-term effects of their actions, the opinion of anyone who dares to disagree with the moron-in-chief, even for those poor dopes who put them in the position of power, and they certainly don't give a crap about someone's tv ratings, good or bad. So please, concentrate on who's DOING the crap, not on who tries to tell you about it.

Durbin: Lieberman-Kyl Amendment Is "Dangerous," "Puts Us On Record" In Support Of Iran War

Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-IL) spoke forcefully this afternoon on the Senate floor against the Lieberman-Kyl amendment. Durbin described the "sense of the Senate" legislation as a "dangerous effort to put us on the record for the use of military force in Iran."

Noting that the language of the amendment suggests the use of "military instruments," Durbin said:

What does that mean? Does that mean we are supporting the invasion of Iran? That we are supporting military tactics against Iran?

War with Iran for Fun and Profit
09.25.07 -- 12:41PM

Did you hear about the War on Iran Authorization bill the Senate is going to vote on perhaps as early as today? No, that's not how it's getting billed. But that's what the 'Kyl-Lieberman' amendment is. In fact, the supporters of going to war against Iran are using exactly the same strategy with this amendment that they did to lay the groundwork for the Iraq War.

BushCo is presently building at least three "hardened" military bases (resistant to all attacks except nuclear, cost about 50 billion each) in Iraq and is buying time until their completion. The argument for not leaving Iraq will be "we can't hand these bases over to terrorists". The purpose of the bases? Protect US and British Oil companies while they extract Iraqi oil.

Senator Lieberman on 9/21 slapped the authority and intent to attack Iran onto the Defense Appropriations Bill. The media has ignored it. HuffPo has ignored it. This is serious, folks.

HuffPo is no better than Fox News for the left if it ignores this.

"Couric: "Pretty Much Accepted" That Iraq War Was A Mistake"

Like we did not know that!

ops........ sorry I forgot about the 27% Morons!

Misled; it sounds so innocent & harmless. We were not "misled", we were lied into a war (and that sounds like a criminal act)!

The Iraqi war is rapidly approaching the US cost of WWII which was about 3 trillion present-day dollars. The Vietnam war is third with a present-day dollar cost of about 500 billion.

The problem today is that too many media "personalities" are passing themselves off as journalists. Bill O'Reilly for example. Give them a mic and a teleprompter and they think they are God's gift to humanity. As I posited in an unrelated comment, Katie should stick to reporting on "fun" stuff like most popular names for babies, etc., or something else from here so-called notebook.

Somebody earlier said the Iraqi war has cost 1 trillion...actually it is more that 2 trillion and counting when you figure 190 billion a year in extra funds, 150 billion a year from the regular defense budget, and then all the health care costs for life for our very deserving soldiers.

It's no mistake. Operation Iraqi Freedom has a clearly defined purpose: to enrich Bush's war contracting and oil cronies, many of whom belong to think tanks that proposed the idea long before 9/11. There's more contractors in Iraq than soldiers. No one else benefits. It's why they invaded and it's why were staying. This should be every Congresspersons' mantra.

This from little miss "Rangers rock!"

GATES, 9-26-07 - You know that little "six day, six weeks, surley not six months" war, we are going to need another 190 BILLION to keep it going.

That's right, Rummy's famous 666 statement.
