Yeah, I'm here. I'll have some rants for you soon. Meanwhile, if you haven't done so already, please go take a look at this fine, thorough, lively Washington Monthly analysis of the menace that is Laurie Mylroie -- you know, the American Enterprise Institute "scholar" who thinks Iraq is behind every act of terrorism in the last decade, including the anthrax attacks and Oklahoma City, for which conclusion she's been praised by Richard Perle, Paul Wolfowitz, Scooter Libby, and others who get to help decide where American soldiers will die next. I go on and on about Mylroie all the time; if you're not sure why, or if you've missed earlier posts about her, this will bring you up to speed.
