If the Chalabi story is true, it's an incredible intelligence coup for Iran. The short form is that Ahmad Chalabi may have been an Iranian agent for the past several years. If this turns out to be the case, then the information he passed the US -- information which helped Bush make the case for war -- was generated and shaped by Iranian intelligence needs. That's an astoundingly impressive piece of work, which may in the end be ranked up there with Eli Cohen.

My current favorite piece of gaming slang is “lasersharking.”

“Hey, you know, that game concept would be better if the sharks had lasers on their head.” Lasersharking. Leave the poor concept alone; not all concepts need lasers to reach their full potential.

Rifts is all lasersharking, all the way to the bottom turtle.
