(Фотобанк Moscow-Live, https://flic.kr/p/A7gMFG; CC BY-NC-SA 2.0, https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.0/) Pundits have reveled in the prospect of using the Russian central bank funds currently frozen by the U.S. Department of Treasury to make reparations to Ukraine for war crimes and other injuries inflicted by Russia’s devastating and outlaw invasion. How delicious it would be to enforce international law against such an obviously culpable perpetrator, all done by the United States without any outside help!

Chilcot Inquiry Section 4.2 Iraq WMD Assessments, July to September 2002
2002 was when the U.K.’s assessments of Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction dramatically changed. British intelligence became more assertive about Iraq producing WMD and restarting its nuclear weapons program despite the sources being very sketchy. This was topped off by the Blair government’s dossier on Iraq which had headline grabbing claims such as Iraq being able to deploy WMD in 45 minutes. This kicked off London’s information campaign to win support for war. During the summer of 2002 London officials voiced their doubts about the threat Iraq posed. On July 23 for instance... read more

MARK PENN IS A PUSH POLLSTER
Last week, the opinion section of *The New York Times* published an op-ed by Mark Penn, former pollster to Bill and Hillary Clinton and frequent Fox News guest; Penn predictably urged President Biden to tack rightward on a wide range of issues, citing a recent survey his Harris Poll had conducted under the auspices of Harvard's Center for American Political Studies. I took a look at that poll. Much of it is agenda-driven hackwork -- pure push-polling. The survey starts with unobjectionable questions.
