Politics, U.S.: Dems to CIA Director Leon Panetta: Apologize for lying to us

Letter to Leon Panetta
  • Six members of Congress signed this letter. All of them Democrats. All on the House Intelligence Committee. A seventh is also on board. Panetta acknowledged this dishonesty, and word from the Huffington Post is that they’re talking about torture.source

World: Post-U.S. occupation, Iraq’s dealing with the same problems

That’s right, another bombing in Iraq, but this time, the U.S. is largely out of dodge. 41+ died in two attacks – this one and one in Baghdad. source

Tech: Congrats to Adam Gurno, who caught a NYT Photoshopper

  • It was an excellent photo essay. The picture of the framing is actually pretty striking. I looked at it and I said, ‘this doesn’t look right.’
  • Adam Gurno • On a New York Times photo essay that has since been removed. Gurno, a Minnesota guy and Metafilter user who’s been a regular commenter on the blog in the past (we thought that guy’s name sounded familiar!), caught a case of Photoshopping in a New York Times photo essay on unfinished buildings in a bad economy. The photo he nailed? Well, it was mirrored. Congrats on kicking butt and we hope you comment on this post, too. :) • source
