We believe someone at the New York Times made a grave error when they selected Nicholas Confessore, (NC) and David Halbfinger, (DH) to interview Caroline Kennedy,the daughter of the late president, about her interest in being appointed to the soon to be vacant senatorial seat for the great state of New York.

Not only did they wrongly conclude that Kennedy is, “less of a candidate than the idea of one” but they themselves did little to impress the attorney and mother of three. We read the interview. NYT should have sent some real men to interview Kennedy. (more…)

It will not do to say of night,
Since dark is what brings out your light. (more…)

Widely circulating reports from Arusha, Tanzania  say a former Rwandan Army official who planned and executed the 1994 slaughter of more than 500,000 people was convicted of genocide today. The high ranking military officer is sentenced to life in prison. Experts say this is the most significant verdict of a U.N. tribunal set up to bring the killers to justice.

The court  said Col. Theoneste Bagosora used his position as director of Rwanda’s Ministry of Defense to direct Hutu soldiers to kill Tutsis and moderate Hutus thus finding him  guilty of crimes against humanity.
See the 2004 historical drama film “Hotel Rwanda” starring Don Cheadle as Paul Rusesabagina the heroic hotel manager who saved more than 1,200 lives during the conflict.

There is great significance in the capture, trial and conviction of another deadly brutal megalomaniac. It has been proven Theoneste Bagosora is indeed accountable for his crimes. This verdict has even more significance for the people of the United States in light of the recent disclosures made by Vice President Cheney and President Bush in their recent television exit interviews.
