After a failed (mostly, but sadly not totally, by a party line vote) attempt to censure the guy, Rep. Stark apologized. As one reply noted, flight suit and all, "amusement" hit home. But, we cannot be honest because ... well Dems are wimps is just too pessimistic, right? Interesting bit of redaction in the opinion concerning a case of mistaken identity in a case arising from 9/11, raising a few issues including psychological coercion. Meanwhile, important news in Poland (sadly, Polish news in Iraq recently too).
