Reviled Prophets

Good Morning. Several new items on the theme of reviled prophets today.

• Today marks the fifteenth anniversary of the break-out of the first Gulf War, brought to you by CNN's Peter Arnett, Jim Holliman and Bernard Shaw live in Baghdad. But let's not forget what Peter Arnett prophesied about the second war, just eight days into the invasion, on April 1, 2003, only to be summarily fired for it. See "Peter Arnett's Prophesies"
  

• Whatever happened to the $1 billion American embassy in Baghdad? See "Fortress of Folly"
  

• Mark McGwire's steroid problem was his own. And ours. See "Of Beefcakes and Role Models"
  

• Notebooks contributor Ohdave reviews Jimmy Carter's Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. See "Jimmy Carter's Holy Land"
  

• Diarist: $5,000 braces. For what? See "For the Love of Torture"

Plenty more, including Glenn Gould and Burqah-bikinis, in the Daily Journal...
