There's a superb talk show that originates in Boston called "On Point". Yes, it's on NPR, Pat. And I admit that the host, Tom Ashbrook, isn't as unbiased as I'd like, but he has great guests each day for two hours. Yesterday's show, with Washington Post military correspondent, Thomas Ricks, who wrote "Fiasco", was the most incisive interview that I've heard regarding Iraq in a long time. Ricks strikes me as being extremely bright, experienced in all matters related to the military, and willing to lay blame on both sides of the political aisle. The man pulls no punches, but thankfully avoids the bombast and bluster that so many pundits serve up.  The one-hour program is archived on the above link, and well worth your listening. I know, who has an hour or so to sit in front of the computer? Well, if you listen for a few minutes, you'll be hooked.
