media watch - late edition
News from last night I didn't get around to posting.

The Bush Administration is quietly soliciting bids for the rebuilding of Iraq after we bomb the shit out of it in a couple weeks. If one is looking for the silver lining to this cloud, it means that the US is serious about rebuilding the country, throwing more money into these contracts then they are into rebuilding Afghanistan. On the other hand, to rebuild a country we are going to have to bomb the everloving crap out of it in the first place, risking the lives of our troops and killing who knows how many innocent Iraqis in the process. And you always have to wonder who a big contract like this one is going to. No mention of the bidders yet.

The Internation Criminal Court is set to opem.

Pakistani authorities say that they are close to capturing bin Laden. Pardon my lack of excitment, but I think we have heard this all before.
