    Analysis by Trita Parsi* Via IPS News

WASHINGTON, Jan 12 (IPS) - President George W. Bush's address on Iraq Wednesday night was less about Iraq than about its eastern neighbour, Iran. There was little new about the U.S.'s strategy in Iraq, but on Iran, the president spelled out a plan that appears to be aimed at goading Iran into war with the U.S.                              The Article

Senate Approves Bill Denying Pensions to Congressmen Convicted of Ethics Violations

    The Senate finally got a chance to do something right, and they did!

    The legislation passed by a vote of 87-0! Maybe if we get lucky it will be retro-active to some where around 2000.

Bill strips ethics-challenged legislators of pensions
POSTED: 8:52 p.m. EST, January 12, 2007 at CNN

Sens. John Kerry, D-Massachusetts, and Ken Salazar, D-Colorado, attached the amendment to an ethics reform bill earlier this week.

"The only thing crazier than giving a member of Congress convicted of a crime a federal pension is the fact that we still need a bill to prevent a convict from receiving their pension," Salazar said at the time. "A member of Congress who abuses their position of authority for their personal profit deserves a prison sentence, not a government pension."

   This bill has to pass the House and be signed by President Bush. That's were there may be a problem.
