Rapes, violence and estimates of the dead were wrong." If you haven't seen it, go to Drudge's home page. He's got a little montage of photographs of several...

RUSH: This from the New York Sun today: "Responding to statements made last week by Rep. Charles Rangel, the Republican National Committee urged Democratic leaders yesterday to denounce the New York congressman's comparison of President Bush to the late Theophilus 'Bull' Connor, the Birmingham, Ala., police commissioner who came to symbolize Southern racism in the 1960s.
