~ it is an amazing coincidence that the highly anticipated osama bin laden confessional tape was released the same day that george w. bush announced that the u.s. is breaking its promise in the anti-ballistic missile treaty. we are sure that it took a couple of extra days to translate that tape, but it is too bad that its release has overshadowed the announcement of the broken treaty, since the bush administration doubtlessly wants the nation to know how well is defending the nation from the missile threat.
