From The Guardian<\/a>: <\/font>Israel has announced that it will conduct an internal investigation into last week’s assault on a convoy of aid ships headed to Gaza, defying pressure for a thorough international inquiry.<\/p>\n

The defence minister, Ehud Barak, told parliament the inquiry would be in addition to a separate military investigation, and would seek to establish whether Israel’s blockade of Gaza and its raid "met with the standards of international law".<\/p>\n

This ranks with having BP conduct the investigation into the GOP Gusher and having Goldman Sachs conduct the investigation into the GOP Recession.<\/font><\/p>\n

From TPM<\/a>: <\/font>Tomorrow [today] is a veritable "Super Tuesday" of primaries in this non-presidential election year, with a whole host of top-tier primaries going on across the country. A total of 11 states are holding primaries: Arkansas, California, Iowa, Maine, Montana, Nevada, New jersey, North Dakota, South Carolina, South Dakota and Virginia.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a good analysis.  Click the TPM link to read it.<\/font><\/p>\n
