MEMBERS OF IRAQ STUDY GROUP SIGN EACH OTHERS' YEARBOOKS

It is said that when a dewy-eyed Iraq study group convened for the last time, they wistfully signed each others’ copies of the final document. Edwin Meese III wrote to Lawrence Eagleburger: “I can’t believe this year went so fast! Mr. Baker never even noticed when we showed up late with bloodshot eyes!” Sandra Day O’Connor wrote to Alan Simpson: “Al, this was the best year ever! Call me! Love ya, Sandy.” And Leon E. Panetta wrote to Vernon Jordan: “I’ll never forget how much trouble we got into, sitting in the back, cracking all those Bush jokes! And we're the 'study' group! Ha ha!" A source close to the group said now that their term paper is done, they will hang out at the National Mall.
