Salon's Glenn Greenwald says the Bush administration has a history of losing key documents relevant to investigations and judicial proceedings.

The video was astonishing. For an even more harrowing account of what it was like inside the Iraqi Parliament cafeteria yesterday when that bomb went off, the Washington Post's Sudarsan Raghavan was there.
THE BOY WHO CRIED WOLFOWITZ
World Bank President Paul Wolfowitz has apologized for the mistake of promoting his girlfriend and giving her a big, fat raise. No apology though for getting the U.S. into the war in Iraq on false pretenses. That would have been nice, too.
DRAWING THE LINE
Now that Don Imus has been fired, Minnesota Senate candidate Al Franken has called for CNN's Glenn Beck to be fired.
The best part? He did it on CNN. The folks at Think Progress have video.
