White House Backs Pelosi Plane Use

   It's been played out in all of the various media entities but I hadn't noticed if anyone had covered the fact that the White House is backing Nancy Pelosi on the use of an airplane to fly to California.

White House spokesman Tony Snow :

"It is important for the Speaker to have this kind of protection and travel. It was certainly appropriate for Speaker Hastert. And so we trust that all sides will get this worked out."

   This has to be a first! Tony Snow actually got one right! I may send him a get well snowball!

House Democrats Planning On Closing Gitmo

    I guess that the top House  Democrats are thinking about a plan to close down the prison at Guantanamo Bay, by the end of 2008. there are still a few dozen prisoners there  who would still be stuck there and even tried there.

Without public notice, Murtha dispatched Rep. Jim Moran, D-Va., to the detention center at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay on a one-day trip late last month to recommend ways for closing it. Both men said the prison has become counterproductive as the United States tries to win converts overseas in the war on terror.
