Quickhits

There's some interesting stuff out there today, but I'm still on holiday time, so, quickhits.

(ThinkProgress) Sen. Pete Domenici bails on Bush's Iraq policy.

(Rawstory) One of the technical journalists who first uncovered AQ Khan's nuclear smuggling ring says that elements of it are still going strong.

(VanityFair) David Halberstam knocks down Bush's repeated comparison of himself with Truman.

(Examiner?) US officials in Baghdad are now trying to get Shiite tribal leaders to turn against Sadr. (So we can have temporary alliances and arm militias for both sides of the civil war.)

(AsiaTimes) The Asia Times has an insighteful piece looking at the increasing radicalization on both sides of the Lebanese civil war(?), pointing out that as both sides radicalize, the center State of Lebanon is increasingly ceasing to exist.
