As my yummy-smelling Bulgarian chicken stew finishes cooking and a bunch of birds flit around outside in the rain, I'll write up some followups and otherwise fascinating links.
Followups
The Los Angeles Transit Authority is mulling what to do about that mercury spill that went unnoticed by their personnel, despite the perpetrator's calling it in. More people, more security, more inconvenience. Might as well go the way of the airlines.
Iranian President Ahmadinejad's speech at the Munich security conference didn't trumpet any great enrichment breakthroughs, not the 3000 spinning centrifuges, or even the 328 that were predicted. Ali Larijani decided that Vladimir Putin was too hard an act to follow (particularly with no new enrichment news) and called his speech off. (Earlier WV post, Putin's speech, and his interview with Al-Jazeera, WaPo, Guardian. H/t to Russian Patriot for the transcripts.)
The six-party talks with North Korea were extended one day. That wouldn't happen if the participants didn't think progress was being made, even if the Washington Post spins things negatively.
More Iran
The annotated NIE
Iran's reformists: please, US, tone it down.
Cernig at NewsHog is trying to find out where those IEDs with explosively-formed-projectile shells really come from. Several good posts developing. I'll note that there is nothing extraordinary about the technology in these shells, which has been around for at least twenty years.
Other Stuff
A road map out of Iraq. More Zbig Brzezinski.
Glenn Greenwald on the New York Times's latest foray into administration stenography, and, more generally, on why the media do this kind of thing. Did you know that Terry Moran looks at Instapundit first when checking the blogs?
Link roundup from Andrew Foland including many more that I haven't included here and a comment from me. BTW, Andrew, good comment on the physicists. There's a lot more that can be said about that...more posts...oh dear
There. Now to go eat my Sunday dinner. And maybe later to write all those posts perking in my head.
