melt with u

a great section of a great podcast:
http://www.democracynow.org/2008/4/1/iraq_has_become_somaliaa_collection_of

this part was really good, the interview with Nir Rosen, but i recommend listening to the whole podcast because it also includes a great interview with one of the journalists involved in reporting on privacy violations and spying and government pressure to keep it quite.

One reason i really liked this podcast was because it articulated one of the reasons why, though i lean democrat in the general bipartisan debate, i feel vaguely uncomfortable whenever they talk Iraq.
"I mean, she’s[hillary clinton] just utterly contemptible. The Democrats in general are, because they’ve been blaming the Iraqis. I mean, we know that the Republicans are despicable, that this is their war, but the Democrats have also been blaming the Iraqis..."
