Ron Cass asks why the Sandy Burglar story isn’t one of the top political stories of the decade:
We all have a pretty good idea what the money was doing in Representative William Jefferson’s freezer. But the questions about President William Jefferson Clinton’s National Security Adviser, Sandy Berger, just keep piling up.
It’s time we got some answers.
I can’t understand why the Republican Congress didn’t demand hearings into the Justice Department decision to let Berger off with a slap of the wrist. I can only surmise that it was because it was a decision of a Republican Justice Department. Now, they might be more curious, particularly with the new revelations, but they no longer control Congress, and I assume that the new majority will want to keep this dirt safely and deeply under the rug.

As Jeff Foust notes, yesterday was the third anniversary of the announcement of the Vision for Space Exploration. Jeff thinks that the next two years are crucial. I agree.
When the president made the speech from NASA HQ, I was staying at a motel in Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, looking for a house somewhere in the area (we ended up getting a place in Boca Raton). I live blogged it using the wireless in the motel room on my laptop, and then had some further thoughts. I think they hold up pretty well.
In fact, there were several related posts over those few days. You can check them out by scrolling about halfway down here.
Donald Sensing speculates about what Bush didn’t say. Like him, I hope that there’s a lot of it. But I’ve been hoping that for years. It was the reason that I supported removing Saddam.

Clark Lindsey has a little roundup of links relating to the “Direct Launch” concept. Short answer, Doug Stanley believes that it can’t provide the necessary performance. Having read his argument, I have no reasons to disagree, or think him less than sincere.
Of course, it doesn’t matter to me, since I’ve never been a big fan of it anyway. The fundamental problems with NASA’s approach to achieving the president’s Vision for Space Exploration go far beyond critiques of specific vehicle designs.
As with much of what the president announced this past week, why weren’t we doing things like this months, or years ago?
U.S. officials tell CBS News that American forces have begun an aggressive and mostly secret ground campaign against networks of Iranians that had been operating with virtual impunity inside Iraq.
The chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff told Congress on Friday that Iranians are now on the target list.
Is the administration finally waking up from its apparent delusions that we aren’t and haven’t been at war with the mullah-run government of Iran for decades?
I’m upgrading a hard drive on a Win2K machine. From what I gather doing a little googling, you can’t clone a drive with XCOPY32 for this operating system (as I used to for Win98). Is there some way using available system tools to do it, or do I have to buy something like Norton Ghost?
