Quickhits

(WaPo) A somewhat interesting WaPo article on Citibank's history of overreach. (I didn't know they played a role in pushing stock sales to the middle class in the late 20's.)

(WaPo) It sounds like Joe Lieberman is going to use his homeland security chairmanship to grandstand about US Somalis as a terror risk. ("Some say" they represent a threat while USG officials say "they do not warrant a major concern." Stir up some fear Lieberman. You got your WaPo frontpage teaser.)

(WaPo) "The overall situation -- and the intelligence community agrees on this -- [is] that Iran has not decided to press forward . . . to have a nuclear weapon on top of a ballistic missile," (DNI Dennis) Blair told the Senate Armed Services Committee.

(TheNews) Pakistan "house arrests" Nawaz Sharif and his brothers as well as arrests of many other opposition leaders ahead of an opposition protest.

(NYTimes) Libya is complaining that it didn't get enough for giving up its WMD program. (From previous descriptions of their "program," they probably shouldn't have gotten much more than a 2 for 1 Arby's coupon.)

And, (Politico) A collection (cabal) of former Bush aides are coordinating to try and defend (salvage) the Bush legacy.
