Obama 'Grateful' for Return of Scott Speicher's Remains
By David Knowles - Politics DailyBack in 1991, during the first Gulf War, Navy Capt. Michael "Scott" Speicher's plane was shot down over Iraq. Dick Cheney, then the secretary of defense, declared Speicher the first casualty of the war, but doubts about the pilot's fate persisted. Then, in 2001, the Navy abruptly changed Speicher's status from deceased to "missing/captured." Speicher, who hailed from Jacksonville, Fla., had by then become a potent symbol for the POW/MIA community. His name was often invoked at political rallies and was often seen on bumper stickers and banners throughout the country, but especially in ...

By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyThe Obama campaign mistakenly released its pre-debate talking points to the press today, giving a preview of what could be shaping up to be a very negative final two weeks for the campaign.

By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailyIn its zeal to get tough on Sen. John McCain, who has taken the lead in the presidential race, Sen. Barack Obama's campaign released a television ad today, titled "Still," making fun of Sen. McCain for being old fashioned.

But the campaign crossed a line when it ridiculed McCain because he "can't send an e-mail," and unwittingly embroiled itself in another controversy that will throw the campaign off message. The charge is ...

Admin. Asserts Limits on Geneva Protections
By Mark Impomeni - Politics DailySix and a half years after the September 11th attacks, the debate over the treatment of terrorist detainees continues In Washington, D.C. The latest development features the release of letters to Congress written by the Justice Department outlining the Bush Administration's belief that terrorists captured in the war on terror are not deserving of the protections of the Geneva Conventions governing the treatment of prisoners of war. That is a position taken by the Administration consistently since at least early 2002 that all of the debates in the media and all of the hearings in Congress have ...
