Some analysts say at least part of the shortfall must have been there all along, hidden by irregular accounting. “You don’t just suddenly lose $120 billion overnight,” said Donn Vickrey of Gradient Analytics, an independent securities research firm in Scottsdale, Ariz. Mr. Vickrey says he believes A.I.G. must have already accumulated tens of billions of dollars worth of losses by mid-September,...

I became interested in No Quarter recently because it pops up when searching for information about Obama's birth. It is a Democrat site, but right now, it is pro-McCain and anti-Obama and it seems a shame not to be able to use its work. Also, I don't really see the point of banning articles by source (since you can ban users or subject articles to review depending on the source), but if you must, it would be nice if the... self http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2085150/posts#comment Thu, 18 Sep 2008 16:42:58 GMT http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/1735125/posts Full disclosure, I'm a democrat, so get over it.

At Camp Pendleton, California, where the eight accused service members have been held in a military prison since late May, officials announced that a news conference would be held later Wednesday concerning the alleged killing of the Iraqi in the village of Hamdaniya. The announcement did not mention murder or other charges. The official who disclosed the Marine plans asked not to be identified publicly because the...

Ramadi, some 100 kilometres west of Baghdad, is a stronghold of the insurgency and there are reports of many residents also fleeing in fear of an assault. Sources told Adnkronos International (AKI) that local tribes were also pursuing foreign terrorists "because of the immense damage they have done to infrastructure and the bad name they have given the insurgency by terror attacks...

There are plenty of opinions on what the Bill of Rights says. But it would take some effort to find many media pundits opining about the neglected Third Amendment. Not these days. With the most technologically sophisticated military in human history, it is hardly likely that U.S. leadership might resort to putting soldiers in American homes anytime soon.
