- I’ve never been a fan of when the White House, no matter the administration, uses executive privilege. I can understand why they may use it, and perhaps there can be a compromise that details won’t be released until two years after the president leaves office. But trying to protect the social services secretary sure does seem a bit too protective. Heck, Gerald Ford testified before congress as president, I always admired that.
- I think the Secret Service is taking the proverbial bullet, and I think it’s a shame the social secretary is being protected.

"With 100,000 troops in Afghanistan at an estimated yearly cost of $30 billion, it means that for every one al Qaeda fighter, the U.S. will commit 1,000 troops and $300 million a year. "
Doing the math, couldn't our intelligence specialists get the names of the last 100 known al Qaeda fighters; invite them to a neutral site; and offer them a deal. We could pay as much as $300 million per al Qaeda fighter and still break even. Both sides would sign a hold-harmless agreement with a non-compete clause. Every dollar beneath $300 million per insurgent that we were able to bargain them down to would then be available to reconstruct America.
