(LATimes) The FBI is having to "rework" the cases against Khalid Sheik Mohammed and others because the "interrogation measures" at the time make alot of the evidence inadmissible.
(WaPo) In January, 2004, Don Rumsfeld, Secretary of Defense, withdrew "all but minimal assistance for diplomatic security" because he was in a fit as the State Dept had been given the rebuilding portfolio. Eventually, the dispute devolved into shouting matches (plural) "over issues such as their respective levels of patriotism."
(It really makes you wonder if the failed rebuilding wasn't partially the result of this split and an undermining lack of support from Rumsfeld. Rumsfeld wasn't fired for another 32 months. All of this in the middle of a war.)
And, on a lighter note, Americablog has a list of the charges in the Oral Roberts University scandal. (I'm still waiting on a fleshing out of the relationship between Ms. Roberts and the much mentioned "underage male.")
