James, You’re right about them just doing their job. I called them boneheads because they said they’d include the Judiciary & Intel committees. As I stated, there are people on the Judiciary Committee that don’t have the clearance to see all the information about the program.

Had they said Intel committee, I wouldn’t have called them boneheads.

U.S. commanders say fewer foreign fighters are carrying out the war’s suicide bombing attacks. The decrease is credited to better patrols along the Syrian border and village-by-village sweeps up and down the Euphrates River. Gen. Casey said suicide bombings went from 60 in June to 26 in November.

Key Sunni Muslim leaders in Iraq’s violent Anbar province have concluded that their interests lie in cooperating with the United States, and they are seeking to extend a temporary truce honored by most insurgent groups for last week’s elections. But at the same time, they are demanding specific steps by the U.S. military, including a reduction in military raids and an increase in development projects for their vast desert province that stretches from the edge of Baghdad to the Syrian and Jordanian borders.
Adnan al-Dulaimi, leader of a prominent Sunni bloc, confirmed yesterday that insurgent groups had prevented violence from interfering with Thursday’s election for a 275-seat parliament. His comments yesterday on a cease-fire deal, first reported in The Washington Times on the day Iraqis voted, provided the first public explanation for the sharp drop in violence last week.
A prominent Sunni religious leader in Anbar province, Sheik Abed al-Latif Hemaiym, told The Times in an interview in Amman that Sunnis were prepared to work with the Americans. “We now believe we must get on good terms with the Americans,” Sheik Hemaiym said. “As Arab Sunnis, we believe that within this hot area of Iraq, facing challenges from neighboring nations who want to swallow us, especially the Iranians, we feel we have no alternative.”

I hope that’s enough for now.
