Morning factoid

"The study showed that honey bees that were fed the human equivalent of 200-proof grain alcohol spent most of the next 40 minutes on their backs, unable to stand."

Bombshell in NYT
Unit Commander contradicts latest White House effort to spin away from criminal negligence in missing cache of explosives.

No check of bunker, commander says. "There was no sign of looting" at the time.

The 101st Airborne Division arrived April 10 and left the next day. The next recorded visit by Americans came on May 27, when Task Force 75 inspected Al Qaqaa, but did not find the large quantities of explosives that had been seen in mid-March by the international inspectors. By then, Al Qaqaa had plainly been looted.
