news from two deserts
Rumsfeld's comments to the BBC June 15 seemed to get little attention in the U.S.
In an interview for the BBC's Newsnight programme, Mr Rumsfeld said Iraq had passed several milestones, like holding elections and appointing a government.
But asked if the security situation had improved, he admitted: "Statistically, no."
"But clearly it has been getting better as we've gone along," he added.
"A lot of bad things that could have happened have not happened."
I supposed this could be true, but it's a bit hard to prove... Damn those statistics, always getting in the way of a good lie, I mean morsel of propaganda, oops I mean story.
From Iraq to a happier desert, on Tuesday night Comedy Central aired the first episode in the new season for "Reno 911." If you haven't seen this show, look for it -- it is a great spoof on "Cops," with the same documentary-style camera work (filmed on location in Reno, NV), a great cast, and an uncanny feel for life as a cop. I don't laugh out loud at many shows -- but this is one. And some of my friends who are cops find it very close to reality.
