Exit Strategy: It appears getting out of Gitmo might be easier than Iraq for the Bush administration. The government transferred 16 prisoners from the facility at the Navy base in Cuba yesterday.

Reprieve: Convicted Georgia cop-killer Troy Davis was given a 90-day stay of execution yesterday as authorities examine the case against him. Davis was set to die today. He claims he's a victim of mistaken identity and several witnesses have recanted their testimony against him.
I. . .Have. . . Sinned: Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) emerged from the shadows yesterday to have a Jimmy Swaggert moment in New Orleans.
