Ben & Jerry's "Pants on Fire" tour

"In a polite society, you don't go up to a person and look at them in the face and say, 'You're a liar,'" Cohen said in a telephone interview... "We think it's a lot more dignified and there's a lot more decorum to say, 'Excuse me sir, your pants are getting a little warm, don't you think?'" Cohen said.

So, Ben Cohen, one of the co-founders of Ben & Jerry's ice cream, is traveling around the U.S. with a huge statue of Bush that has (fake) flames shooting out its ass.

Sandy Burglar

Donald Sensing has good comments on Sandy Burglar:

I have almost 20 years experience working with classified documents and worked full-time inside classified vaults (actually, fully secure office areas) in two different assignments.

It is not possible to "inadvertently" take a document home under the conditions Berger is reported to have been granted access to them: no briefcases allowed, each document serial numbered and inventoried, records annotated as to who was granted access and when, etc.

And, so reports go, Berger stuffed notes he made from the documents into his pants. NB: that means the notes were just as secret as the source documents.

This excuse is so ludicrous that I hardly know how to respond. But consider: Berger has no choice except to claim stupidity and incompetence rather than admit deliberate theft. So his defense is, "Yes, I, the national security advisor to the former president of the United States, centrally responsible for the guarding of the lives of our citizens from foreign threats, am in fact a blundering, absent-minded idiot."

So how can he or other Clinton-administration officials defend their counter-terrorism actions and policies when the NSA himself is so self-confessedly stupid? Why should we have any confidence at all the the former administration knew what it was doing when the NSC was headed by such a forgetful inept?

Update: Heh, "Not even elected president yet and already Kerry is facing in infamous question: "what did you know and when did you know it?" Also, InstaPundit has been covering this pretty heavily recently, so lots more info can be had there.

Just came across the Intel Dump weblog from a link on Winds of Change.
