Governor would be well advised to restrict her comments to next A.G.
Story
Governor Sebelius recently commended Morrison for his professional accomplishments while attorney general. At the same time, she couldn't resist taking a swipe at Morrison's predecessor, Phill Kline. And as far as Kline is concerned — we sometimes wonder how far the Democratic Party will go in attempting to discredit the Republican former attorney general.

Author publishes his letters from Iraq
Story
Every week during a yearlong deployment in Iraq with the Kansas Army National Guard, Lt. Col. Roger Aeschliman sent e-mails shooting across the globe to about 50 people at first and then to more than a 100 people — who in turn sent his updates to hundreds more. And as he got ready to return home in November 2006, Aeschliman began thinking about putting all of his weekly updates and more personal e-mails together into a book. Unable to find a publisher, Aeschliman did something else not readily available in years past. He self published "Victory Denied." His views and politics — Aeschliman worked for the Kansas Republican Party and in state government appointed jobs after a six-year stint as a Capital-Journal reporter — show through clearly. The book, "Victory Denied," is available for purchase at www.authorhouse.com.
