BushCo meddling in Berg investigation? "Good Progress?"

Note the use of the term "Good Progress" - Bush uses this phrase all the time...unusual and awkward usage...

Four people have been arrested over the beheading of US businessman Nicholas Berg, whose killing was shown earlier this month in a video on an Al-Qaeda linked website, a senior Iraqi source said.

Asked if more than one person had been arrested in connection with the killing, the source told AFP: "Yes, four people."

Berg's beheading was shown on a grainy video posted on the Islamic website linked to Osama bin Laden's terror network, days after his body was found in Baghdad on May 8.

"We have made good progress," the source added, referring to the investigation, but declined to give any details on the identity of the four people held in detention.

2. Bush says Good Progress...We say Good Riddance!

Bush's GOOD PROGRESS"
I see potential for a great commercial here...



ON HIS CABINET PICKS (before he was declared the winner in FL):
"But we're making pretty GOOD PROGRESS. We've been somewhat hampered. It's hard to really be conducting a series of formal interviews with people until the election is over."

ON STANDOFF WITH NORTH KOREA: "We're making GOOD PROGRESS toward achieving that peaceful resolution of the issue of the Korean peninsula in regards to North Korea."

ON THE ENVIRONMENT: "Our national commitment to wetlands is showing good progress -- really better than good progress when you think about the fact we were losing half-a-million acres a year not so many years ago," Bush said.

ON HOMELAND SECURITY BILL: "I believe we're making GOOD PROGRESS and, of course, being the modest fellow that I am, I'm willing to recognize a good idea, even if it comes from Congress"

ON FAITH-BASED INITIATIVES: I think we're making pretty GOOD PROGRESS on the so-called faith-based initiative, that makes it clear that government is limited. I mean, government can't make people love one another."

ON IRAQ: "U.S. military forces are making "GOOD PROGRESS" in Iraq but the war "is far from over," President Bush said in a March 26 address to hundreds of uniformed military personnel at MacDill Air Base in Tampa, Florida."

ON MIDEAST PEACE: "Bush said the talks that his Mideast envoy Anthony Zinni is conducting aimed at ending the violence "are making very GOOD PROGRESS. That's where the focus of this administration is."

ON IRAQ: "President Bush claimed "GOOD PROGRESS" in Iraq on Friday, 100 days after he had declared an end to major combat, but he also mourned American casualties and refused to say how long U.S. troops would stay."

ON AFGHANISTAN: "I'm making GOOD PROGRESS in winning the war in Afghanistan, and we've got to make good progress about helping people find work," the president told reporters before the meeting began.

ON AFGHANISTAN: "I can assure the American people, we're making GOOD PROGRESS," Bush said as he returned from Camp David, the presidential retreat. "And I also can assure them that this is just the beginning of a tough fight."

ON THE FARM BILL: "Right now I would say that there is an outside possibility we could complete our negotiations this week. I think that we've made GOOD PROGRESS in the last couple of days. In fact when I get back tonight we're going to go back into negotiations," said Daschle.

3. Thanks for the instances of "Good Progress"

It's very unusual/awkward and has caught my ear since I first heard Bush say it last year...I think Rummy has used it too...

I think its an unintentional fingerprint on their meddling in the Berg case...

"...Just tell them you are making Good Progress"
