Both of these seem to be slipping from public consciousness as the faltering economy increases in importance, as the surge in U.S. troop levels takes credit for reduced levels of violence in Iraq (even though violence is rising in Afghanistan), and as Democratic earmarks overtake Republican earmarks. The National Intelligence Estimate issued late last year essentially pulled the rug out from under those calling for war with Iran, temporarily defusing that issue.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_laurence_080202_the_war_on_corruptio.htm"><P>In the same way that a new terrorist incident could bring back the fears associated with September 11th, an unexpected revelation of corruption in high places could put that issue back on the front burner in this election year as well. Therefore, a brief reminder of what has happened, and what could happen, is helpful if not entertaining.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_laurence_080202_the_war_on_corruptio.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.opednews.com/img/D06BA118-CF90-454A-AF7C-04620B0DBCD4" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_laurence_080202_the_war_on_corruptio.htm"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.opednews.com/img/BDC89B66-E230-4CF3-BEEA-89426CA567B9" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_laurence_080202_the_war_on_corruptio.htm"><P align="left"><FONT size="1" face="Verdana"><A href="http://www.opednews.com">http://www.opednews.com</A></FONT></P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/AB110F9F-F0D9-4216-9523-864556CAA42A/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
