Torrents of truth continue to rain down

All this forthrightness -- why, it's enough to make one almost optimistic!

As long as we can get it reported in the U.S. media.

This is from Reuters.

U.K. envoy: Bush the best recruiter for al-Qaida
Italian media report ambassador's remarks at private conference

ROME -- Britain's ambassador to Italy described President Bush as "the best recruiting sergeant" for al-Qaida, Italian media reported on Monday.

The comment, made at a closed-door conference at the weekend, was denounced by one leading Italian newspaper editor, who issued an open letter snubbing the veteran ambassador, Sir Ivor Roberts.

Roberts was quoted as telling an annual Anglo-Italian gathering in Tuscany, "If anyone is ready to celebrate the eventual re-election of Bush, it’s al-Qaida."...

And those are the words of a representative of the (coughcough) Coalition of the Willing.
