The videos showed up on YouTube. I got the linkage from Ars Technica's political forums. [link\|http://episteme.arstechnica.com/groupee/forums?a=tpc&f=28609695&m=133004298731&r=133004298731#133004298731\|http://episteme.arst...8731#133004298731] That's the link to the discussion, I'm lazy and don't want to bring the HTML over. I'm off to watch. When somebody asks you to trade your freedoms for security, it isn't your* security they're talking about.*

As for his Press converence presentation, there isn't much being said about it in the traditional media. Not surprising, given how he skewered the DC press corps. The Internet, however, is abuzz, as they say.

He was just doing his job... as a stand up comic. ---------------------------------------------------------------- 4 out of 5 Iraqis choose democracy! If you don't like my posts, don't click on them. Never mind the AP. Here's the real Iraq reporting: [link\|http://michaelyon.blogspot.com/\|http://michaelyon.blogspot.com/] "The period of debate is closed.
