Waiting on the sun to go down, here's what I'm reading:

• Susanhu at Booman Tribune: Intelligence Officers: Can We Trust Our President?

Writes Larry Johnson, a former C.I.A. and U.S. State Dept. intelligence analyst -- this morning at his blog No Quarter -- "In light of the latest White House sanctioned assault on Valerie Plame and her character, our testimony remains relevant and accurate.

• Jay Rosen of PressThink via Billmon: Rollback

This White House doesn't settle for managing the news--what used to be called 'feeding the beast'--because there is a larger aim: to roll back the press as a player within the executive branch, to make it less important in running the White House and governing the country.

• Pamindurham at DailyKos asks: Who are these Black Republicans?

Well, I've found a couple of live ones, average people, not pundits, writing about why they've moved over to the dark side. While you may not agree with them, their views provide an interesting look at why the GOP is siphoning off black votes, as well as why the Democratic establishment is asleep at the wheel. Bear with me for the lengthy ride, but it's well worth it if you're really committed to fixing what's broken about the Democratic Party.
