"Clearly, the John Kerry of 1971 never could've gotten in to see the John Kerry of 2004."
LONDON (Reuters) - Imagine being able to check instantly whether or not statements made by politicians were correct. That is the sort of service Google Inc. boss Eric Schmidt believes the Internet will offer within five years.
Politicians have yet to appreciate the impact of the online world, which will also affect the outcome of elections, Schmidt said in an interview with the Financial Times published on Wednesday.
He predicted that "truth predictor" software would, within five years, "hold politicians to account." People would be able to use programs to check seemingly factual statements against historical data to see to see if they were correct.

The 9/11 Commission -- pull on a few loose threads and the whole thing starts unravelling
the only thing surprising about this is that...well, its being reported. abramoff discusses invasion of iraq with rove one year before we invade. funny thing is it only makes me more mad at the democrats for being such pathetic enablers. im glad to see they havent lost their touch.
not iraq, vietnam.
ABC's This Week had Tori Clarke on the roundtable, you know, as an objective pundit. (They also had Donna Brazile.) The former Pentagon flack provided a defense to Woodward's criticism of her former boss Rummy. How chummy. She said that those attacking Rumsfeld have not "experienced his leadership." So the generals speaking up against Rummy don't know Rummy like Tori knows Rummy? What a crock. You don't have to report directly to the fucking idiot to know when your boss's boss's boss is a fucking idiot. Everyone knows this, but no one on the chummy roundtable challenged Tori.
The emerging talking points in response to Woodward's "State of Denial", as spoken by George Will and Dan Bartlett, is that government is by its very nature ineffective, and that it's not Junior's fault. Yeah, society is responsible, not Junior. I'm so glad the "adults" are in charge.
