American domestic propaganda during World War II. Fascinating pamphlets including "Do You Want Your Wife to Work After the War?" and "Can the Germans Be Re-educated?" As the site says: "The American Historical Association produced the G.I. Roundtable Series to help win World War II. Or so they were led to believe. In fact the U.S. Army sought the pamphlets as part of a larger effort to prepare for the transition to the postwar world, and represent a novel effort at social control. "

John Hannah and Lewis "Scooter" Libby Named In Plame Probe I always thought that the Valerie Plame leak came from Dick Cheney and not Karl Rove. Boy Genius hasn't slipped up yet. Cheney has been messing up from the Energy Commission to the Iraq war. According to these sources, John Hannah and Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, were the two Cheney employees.

None of this matters since Glenn Reynolds officially declared the Plame leak bogus.
