WaPo sites

The Washington Post as a couple of regular features that gather info and perspectives from other newspapers and blogs -- well worth checking out.

Dan Froomkin's White House Briefing

Howard Kurtz's Media Notes

Meanwhile, in today's WaPo Henry Kissinger and George Schultz in Results, Not Timetables, Matter in Iraq argue the "conservative realist" position on what to do about Iraq. They reject premature withdrawal, but I can't help suspect that it is the Bush Administration, not their opponents, who are most eager to see U.S. troops (or at least those not guarding our bases, embassy and business in interests) out of Iraq. I fear they want to use the election as an excuse to say, okay now we will respect the sovereignty of the Iraqi people and leave; any resulting problems will be your own to sort out. Declare victory and go home. I can't really believe that they would be that stupid, but then there ever-increasing capacity for stupidity continually surprises me.
