Synagogue opens in Germany.

C-130 carrying 3 Senators and congressman dodges ground fire after leaving Baghdad.

Judge strikes down Iowa's gay marriage ban. Another abuse of the equal protection clause. This will help Republicans in '08.

Muqtada al Sadr calls for a temporary halt to attacks by the Mahdi Army. He's just trying to wait out US troops so he force doesn't get destroyed like we're destroying al Qaeda. This doesn't bode well for the future.

Tom Delay speaks out against the media double standard, attacking Republicans and never mentioning Democrat scandals. As an example, networks replay audio tape of Republican Senator Craig's arrest over and over, yet you almost never hear about William Jefferson, who had $90,000 in marked bills from an undercover operation stashed in his freezer.

The return of Soviet propaganda. Russia launches Putin backed children's TV programming.

Fraudulent Clinton donor Hsu turns himself in to police in California. I would shocked if this guy doesn't have a China connection that is being frantically erased right now. I bet investigators will find remnants. His wealth won't remain a mystery for long.

Obama's wife raises funds in Britain. This is a bad step.

Brian de Palma makes movie based on rape of an Iraqi girl and the murder of her and her family by US troops in Iraq. Those soldiers have been tried and convicted for their crime. This is a fine subject for a movie, but apparently de Palma attempts to smear the entire military and war effort with the actions of these criminals, and that's disgusting in itself. This incident illustrates the difference between us an our enemy: it's unique for Americans, and we've punished the guilty - these types of horrendous crimes and worse are the norm for al Qaeda, which celebrates them.

FBI details surveillance techniques. Fear of abuse by agents.

It is ridiculous that the Navy has to defend the use of sonar in court.
