More Odds and Ends

So I ended up watching 'Heroes'. Nathan, I knew you'd come through. Here's the news...

You know that war/conflict that Lebanon's been engaged with in the past week or so? Well, it looks like we're hooking them up with some cash to help move things along: "Lebanon has asked the United States for $280 million in military assistance to help put down an uprising by al-Qaida-inspired militants operating from a Palestinian refugee camp, the State Department said Tuesday." Better take that penny jar to the CoinStar machine, Condi.

Meanwhile, President Bush declassifies an intelligence report that reveals that... Osama bin Laden is evil and would like to attack America again!!! OMG, knock me over with a feather! Thank goodness we let him get away and started a new war of our own making elsewhere.

And does that report mention al Qaeda money is being funneled into Pakistan from Iraq?

And ABC News reports that President Bush has authorized covert action inside Iran.

On the domestic news front, newly released Justice Department documents relating to the Attorney purge reveal more about how the Department responded internally to the scandal.

Finally, hometown news... NYC taxis will be entirely hybrid by 2012, as per a new order.
