Google Maps added geo-tagged photos and Wikipedia articles. Still the best web app.

Part 1 of John Stewart’s interview with Douglas Feith (here’s part 2).
Concerning the lead-up to the Iraq War, Feith suggests that perhaps we’re remembering wrong, that the collective memory has been shaded by recent events—you know, finding out that all the selling points were based on false evidence, learning that ex-military opinion-slingers were systematically placed throughout the media, seeing that the war was a bad idea to begin with and is now in a state of insoluble suck. I think he’s wrong.
Still, his assertion gave me pause. I feel like he’s wrong, but the idea underlying his (slimy?) argument is not a bad one: take a look at the evidence, please.
Just when I was thinking that finding that kind of evidence is tricky, the internet goes and totally redeems itself. Though not perfectly on topic, the September 11 Television Archive goes to show that the internet does, in fact, have something to offer other than titties and incessant nerdery.1
Not that I don’t love both. ↩
