are, according to the president, tools to extract accurate information.
And so the false confessions that McCain was forced to make were,
according to the logic of the Bush administration, as accurate as the
"intelligence" we have procured from "interrogating" terror suspects.
Feel safer?

to the use of these techniques against terror suspects by the CIA. And

&lt;/P&gt;
&lt;P&gt;
The ‘spectre’ appears when the sun shines from behind a climber who is looking down from a ridge or peak into mist. The light projects the climber’s shadow forward through the mist, often in an odd triangular shape due to perspective. The apparent magnification of size of the shadow is an optical illusion that occurs when the observer judges his shadow on relatively nearby clouds to be at the same distance as faraway land objects seen through gaps in the clouds, or when there are no reference points at all by which to judge its size. The shadow also falls on water droplets of varying distances from the eye, confusing depth perception.&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div style="margin-bottom: 40px;"&gt;Tags: &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/phenomena/" rel="tag"&gt;phenomena&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/tags/science/" rel="tag"&gt;science&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><clipSource>http://thenonist.com/index.php/thenonist/permalink/the_spectre_of_brocken/</clipSource><pubDate>Tue, 12 Aug 2008 21:36:21 GMT</pubDate></item><item><title>Confessions Of A Coupon Clipper</title><link>http://clipmarks.com/clipmark/583D4153-4FAA-4FF9-B3B7-97C7BC8AD9B2/</link><description>&lt;b&gt;clipped by:&lt;/b&gt; &lt;a href="http://clipmarks.com/clipper/debbyski/"&gt;debbyski&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;div border="2" style="margin-top: 10px; border:#000000 1px solid;" width="90%"&gt;&lt;div style="background-color:"&gt;&lt;div align="center" width="100%" style="padding:4px;margin-bottom:4px;background-color:#666666;overflow:hidden;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#FFFFFF;font-weight:bold;"&gt;Clip Source: &lt;a style="color:#FFFFFF;" href="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-coupons10-2008aug10,0,7303176.story?track=ntothtml" title="http://www.latimes.com/business/la-fi-coupons10-2008aug10,0,7303176.story?track=ntothtml"&gt;www.latimes.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;img src="http://clipmarks.com/image_cache/debbyski/512/C8BDED08-2595-4E5E-BC26-3A66635C97E9.jpg" alt="Saving with coupons" /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;I love grocery coupons.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;&lt;DIV&gt;

I love saving money and getting a deal that someone else isn't getting. There's nothing like standing in line at the store and hearing the groans from other shoppers when you pull out a big wad of paper, followed by the gasps when the checker knocks $20 or $50 off your tab.&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt; And few things are more annoying than a cashier who grimaces and challenges each coupon as if it were coming out of her or his salary.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;hr size="2" color="#666666" /&gt;&lt;div style="padding: 10px;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align:left;"&gt;
