Sunday Funnies: Patriots, CIA Tapes,

Pats beat the Giants last night in a very good game. Good for the players and coaches in not believing all the words written that claimed this was a game that was meaningless and that went out and played their hearts out. Pats go 16 and 0 but won't have their season validated until they win the Super Bowl (Chris Collingsworth last night with Bryant Gumbel). Go Colts...

Good NYTimes article on the CIA tape destruction controversy. It shows that people at the CIA and the DoJ and the WH did consider what they were doing and recognized the iffy status of the tapes. Seems to me that such investigations should be taped not only for the value of that evidence but also as a way to keep the brute that is in each of us well under control. This taping should be part of investigations at every level - maybe it is already standard procedure in most police departments. If not, should be.

Guess I'll go get the rest of my day started. I hear the golf course calling if for nothing other than a walk in the windy cool of a late December day.
