Impressive

The media lockstep on the KSM 'confession' was most impressive. You'd have thought that some actual event had occurred, rather than what was nothing more than a document dump by the government. It must be one of the perks of having an 'free' press that we have hundreds of Pravdas, while the USSR only had one.

And though the Danny Pearl confession kept KSM's photo on top of the headlines this morning, most of the quicker news sites have it well down in the queue now. There's plenty of room at the top for Abu's resignation tomorrow, if it comes down.

I'm proud of my well earned reputation as a terrible prognosticator, so I'm not afraid to predict that tomorrow will not be the day. I still think they're going to try to weather this one out, if only to avoid a round of confirmation hearings.
