So the story the other day and then saw Marc AmBinder's blog @ the Atlantic site, questioning the timing of it. Apparently it's not really news. The Soviets knew there were minerals there and so did the Bush administration ... And the administration may be trying to mobilize sentiment to stay in Afghanistan longer, if AmBinder's speculation is correct.

Thanks. Would have never seen that.

I loved the kicker: Minutes after making his initial angry comments about bloggers, Risen called back to apologize. "I was taken aback by some of the criticism, and didn't sleep well last night, and was upset about it. I apologize."
