NEWS AND COMMENT
The other day, President Bush said that "It's time" for a unity government in Iraq. How about here? Isn't it about time that the Bush adminstration cooperated with Congress, giving it the documents needed for judgments on NSA eavesdropping and other issues?
Yesterday, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales unveiled an indictment of 50 Colombians for drug trafficking. Of course, we don't have these 50 in custody. So Mr. Gonzales well might now proceed to indict insurgents in Iraq.
In today's New York Times, columnist Bob Herbert summarized a study showing that the true cost of our war in Iraq is over one trillion dollars.
We could have bought the country for a lot less than that. In fact, we probably could have bought Saddam Hussein's departure for less than 100 million.
