"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

HUTTON TWO
- didn’t see that one coming
The surprise of the day would have to be that an Australian parliamentary "inquiry" has exonerated the government from blame for intelligence failures during the run-up to the war in Iraq.
The inquiry also recommended that another (non-political) inquiry be held which reminds me of an Arabic joke where a stutterer goes to apply for a job as a broadcaster.
The astonished panel interviewing him ask him why on earth he came and he says "to tell you to not to count on me".
So when's the US "inquiry" into intelligence failures or is "massive intelligence failure" too personal a subject for George W?
