THE LEAK:
All
roads lead to Iraq
For months before the Iraq war, analysts at the agency and other
intelligence officials quietly complained that they felt under pressure
from senior administration officials, all the way up to Mr. Cheney,
to tailor intelligence reports to the administration's agenda. In
particular, the analysts said White House and Pentagon officials
were pressing them to accept the premise of strong connections between
Iraq and Al Qaeda.

Probe of Leaks Is Favored
A Washington Post/ABC News poll released on Wednesday,
taken after the Justice Department announced that it had opened
a criminal probe into the matter, pointed to several troubling
signs for the White House.
"Confronted
with little public support for the White House view that the investigation
should be handled by the Justice Department, Bush aides began
yesterday to adjust their response to the expanding probe. They
reined in earlier, broad portrayals of innocence in favor of more
technical arguments that it is possible the disclosure was made
without knowledge that a covert operative was being exposed and
therefore might not have been a crime."

If so, you're witness not just to what some are calling the Great Internet

Brad:
A friend works at a one of the local Bank of America branches here in
town. Since they are celebrating "National Hispanic Heritage"
month, bank officials are giving a free telephone card good for 15 minutes
of call time to Mexico and 10 minutes for US calls.
Bank tellers are instructed to give one telephone card to each "Mexican/Hispanic
looking" customer who comes to their counter. The card is written
entirely in Spanish and contains directions for use.
My friend said several of the profiled group were insulted about the free
cards because (1) they did not speak or read or write Spanish. OR (2)
They were born in the US and a citizens with no contact to Mexico. AND
(3) Why were "Mexican" looking people singled out for the cards.
Regards, Bob B.
Reminds me of why it's good
to be local, like Frost Bank, whose slogan is "We're from here."
Frost wouldn't commit such a faux pas.
