G.O.P.

Captain Ed / Captain's Quarters:
Hastert Knew While Foley Flew  —  Well, well, well.  It appears the Republicans actually can make the Foley controversy worse.  As if it wasn't bad enough that John Boehner knew about Foley's track record of sexual harassment of his underage pages, now it turns out that Speaker Denny Hastert lied …

Breaking: Times of London obtains Mohammed Atta martyrdom video; Flashback: "Nineteen Martyrs"  —  I've always hoped we wouldn't have to suffer an Atta video.  I can stand videos of any of the other 18 — they're all basically fungible — but to be taunted from the grave by the hijacker everyone recognizes is intolerable.
Washington Post:

Glenn Reynolds / Instapundit.com:
TOM MAGUIRE has thoughts on torture.  He's a bit hard on Andrew Sullivan, but not as hard as Sullivan is being on me — Sullivan has brought out the waterboard of blogging, reprinting emails from readers of his who say they'll never read me again, only Sullivan, from now on.
