Peters on Honor and Betrayal
Thanks to Cold Fury, we now have the definitive opinion on the latest leak of classified information. Ralph Peters, a man who knows something about handling classified material, has somewhat to say to all of us. AFTER more than two decades in the intelligence world, I know a few secrets.

Bye Bye Citgo!
I think everyone needs to go out and buy a couple Slurpees this week.
