State of Geographical Denial (Note to Cheney: Get a GPS Unit...)

A tidbit from Woodward's book, via George Will:


While leading the hunt for weapons of mass destruction in Iraq in the summer of 2003, David Kay received a phone call from "Scooter" Libby, Dick Cheney's chief of staff, who wanted a particular place searched: "The vice president wants to know if you've looked at this area. We have indications -- and here are the geocoordinates -- that something's buried there." Kay and his experts located the area on the map. It was in the middle of Lebanon.

Of course then George goes on to say this is not the fault of the Bush administration, per se, but a fault of big government, and "those who regard government as a glistening scalpel for administering social transformation."

Ah yes. Well, when it comes to Iraq, at this point I'd be happy if the Bush administration could just pull off some meatball surgery.
