• The investigation of the alleged misdeeds of Special Counsel Scott Bloch is starting to point at some important figures in the GOP, including Secretery of State Condoleeza Rice and former Alabama Governor Don Siegelman.
• The Navy has released John McCain’s record. The man is a hero. Should he be president? That’s another question.
