Iraq’s parliament on Thursday approved by a wide margin a security pact with the United States that lets American troops stay in Iraq for three more years.
The vote in favor of the pact was backed by the ruling coalition’s Shiite and Kurdish blocs as well as the largest Sunni Arab bloc, which had demanded concessions for supporting the deal.

I bet that makes the anti-Iraq war group happy…3 more years!
What’s a lawyer without a BlackBerry? We asked that somewhat rhetorical question a while back. The answer? President. For security reasons Barack Obama was initially told he would need to give up his mobile.
Or maybe not. Apparently the president-elect is feeling a bit too constricted inside the presidential bubble, which is understandably tightly controlled by the Secret Service.
But Obama wants a little more access to those outside the presidential circle, according to the Chicago Tribune blog The Swamp, which posted excerpts of Obama’s interview with Barbara Walters.

How else would Obama talk to all his friends such as Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers for advice? He could very well cause a blackberry gate! He wants to keep up his old ways of lying to the American people.

Will the same people who lambasted Sarah Palin for keeping a personal Yahoo! account and using her Blackberry attack Obama for “evading public disclosure,” too?

Despite his looming trial on federal bribery charges, Louisiana Democratic Rep. William J. Jefferson hasn’t had any trouble raising money from his allies in Congress.
Since his June 2007 indictment, Mr. Jefferson has raised more than a quarter-million dollars in political donations to retain the House seat he’s held since 1990.
The money includes tens of thousands of dollars from political action committees controlled by other members of Congress.
