How could News Night crew keep their giggles off camera is an art. the dark camera angle, the cigarette smoke + the 'reporter', the only element left out was the gritty voice over.

Theatre, at its best, pushing the concept of al Qaeda as an organised syndicate. This needs a lot of deconstruction, will be back once I have thoroughly debunked it all.

Bastards, are trying to blame it all on a bunch of ill trained, ill equipped third rate operators, for the total war that they have unleashed on the planet so far without much success.

17.Nov.2006 more propaganda. I will not believe anything that says Al Qaeda wanted to attack the west therefore 9/11.

America created islamic terrorism, they created Al CIAeda.Eryc |

17.Nov.2006 The BBC has lost most of their credibility since the great terror in the sky of binary explosives. Now they have lost all of it.

Even news organizations close to the mainstream admit that the terror groups were a growth from the CIA during the Afghan years + their use wasn't done after that.

MEK is being used in Iran now for god's sake.
An ugly new totalitarian world is gestating in NATO. Orwell got the Ingsoc 100% correct.

There isn't anything that is planned that the intelligence agencies don't know of as the former head of German Intel has stated righ after 9/11/01.

The US and UK were well aware of the Algerian situation of it becoming an Islamic fundamentalist state long before the elections.
The UK seems to be worse off than the US by a long margin. The Shanghi Cooperation Group are aware of this situation reported from globalresearch.ca.

The elite groups and defense and intel agencies are using their puppets in office and media to work the population very hard. Sibel Edmonds put a nail through this garbage as well.

17.Nov.2006 What a bunch of bullshit! How come this 'spy' never warned them about the 'catastrophe' of 9/11?

Utter balls. I am a proud citizen (no. 23987489302-45) of the U.K. + since David Kelly got whacked, bbc is the most pitifull mouthpiece imaginable. "Will Israel Attack Iran?" Documentary aired recently. conclusion;they Have to! airs loads of giggling israelis and fearfull shadowy shots of bearded arabs.
so this spy tells of how he got into it all because he stole thousands from his terrorist buddies?

Remember how Al Quaeda first came into existance on the testimony of an international con man who -suprise- had robbed thousands from bin laden. he was then paid millions and given a new life.
Shit.

Hammurabi is right. The term 'terrorist' was highjacked by the side with the power, then used to demonize those resisting them by whatever means possible. U.S., Israel, Brits. + their allies use mega-weapons and also individual real terrorists - starting with bombings and other acts against Cuba in the 1960s - and expect to continue with impunity. Too many people are waking up.

Lavon Affair:
How does America deal with a country that commits terrorism against us and then honors the terrorists?
Answer: We give it billions of dollars every year as well as our most advanced military technology.
The Israeli President, Moshe Katzav, in recent formal ceremonies honored the Israeli agents who made terrorist attacks against American sites in Egypt hoping to provoke an American war with Egypt.
In ceremonies reported by the major Israeli daily newspaper, Haaretz, Israeli President Moshe Katsav stated the following at a ceremony honoring the Jewish terrorists who attacked American facilities:
“Although it is still a sensitive situation, we decided now to express our respect for these heroes,” President Moshe Katzav said after presenting the three surviving members of the bomber ring with certificates of appreciation at a Jerusalem ceremony.
In the Lavon Affair, named for the Israeli Defense Minister at the time, Pinhas Lavon, the Israeli government launched a false flag, terrorist operation against American sites in Egypt hoping to provoke American bombing, retaliation and war against that nation. The Israeli terrorists targeted American sites such as American Cinemas and American libraries around Cairo. Only the premature detonation of one of the Jewish terrorist’s bombs led to the exposure and halt of the plot before the extensive loss of life and property.
If this terrorist operation would have been successful, not only would it have cost many American lives, it would have launched an American war against an innocent nation which in turn would have caused the death of many thousands of innocent American and Egyptian lives as well as untold billions of dollars.
Israel’s terrorist plot against the USA in the Lavon Affair was one greatest acts of treachery that any nation has ever committed against an ongoing ally. There have certainly been many times in history where a nation attacked a supposed ally, but I know of no cases where an “ally” attacked another and then the attacked nation remained an ally and continued to support the attacking nation financially and militarily! For that to occur there has to be an incredible level of subversion in the attacked nation. And shockingly, this was only the first Israeli act of treachery against the nation that stood by Israel more than any other: America. There have repeated acts of Israeli terrorism and treachery against the United States of America.
00.000.1967, Israel attacked the USS Liberty with both fighter jets and torpedo boats in a surprise terrorist attack that killed 34 Americans and wounded 173. Both the U.S. Secretary of State at the time, Dean Rusk + the Chairman of the U.S. Joint Chiefs of Staff, Admiral Thomas Moorer, both have stated that it was a pre-meditated attack against the USA.
And very recently, important figures in the Israeli lobby AIPAC, arguably the most powerful lobby in Washington, D.C., are under investigation by the FBI for spying against the USA. The fact that the President of the USA and most of the members of Congress have close ties to this lobby for a foreign nation, a lobby which is now in the middle of spy scandal should obviously be a huge story in America’s press, but it is suppressed in the zionist dominated American media.
Israel knew that the U.S. Government would certainly respond to terrorist attacks against it (supposedly by Egypt) — with bombing and war against that nation.
American money and even military equipment continued to Israel unabated. Such shows the high level of Israeli subversion and dare I say it, treason, in the USA Government. It also clearly reveals the zionist motivation in the press that has whitewashed and kept this treachery from the knowledge of 99 percent of American people. In fact, 99 percent of Americans will never hear of the Lavon Affair nor will they know anything about the recent Israeli government official ceremony that honored the Israelis who committed these terrorist acts against America.
For years Israel denied knowledge of the event, just as Israel denied the murderous attack on the USS Liberty, denied their involvement with the damaging spying of Jonathan Pollard + denied the overwhelming evidence that indicates Israeli prior-knowledge of the 911 attack. The Israeli defense minister, Pinhas Lavon had to resign after the bungled terrorist attacks in Egypt + the excuse was given that it was a “rogue operation.” Yet, obviously, launching terrorist attacks against USA installations in Egypt that included American cinemas and libraries, would have certainly had to have been approved by the Israeli Prime Minister at the time.
Now, the Israel government is having formal, public ceremonies honoring the Jewish terrorists that attacked American facilities! Now that’s Chutzpah when one considers Israel is receiving billions of American tax dollars every year, the lion’s share of America’s entire foreign aid budget + the fact that America is the only major nation that defends Israeli crimes against the Palestinians in the U.N. Yet, it shows just how firmly Israel has the government and media of America in its grip that they can get away with honoring terrorists who have attacked America!
In truth, the Iraq War is just another form of a false flag operation like the Lavon Affair.
It was spawned by Israeli loyalists in the USA, Paul Wolfowitz, Richard Perle and coterie of Jewish supremacists (including the man in charge of the evidence of Iraqi misdeeds in the CIA, Stuart Cohen, who was behind much of the false intelligence) that led America into a war against Iraq, a nation that had never harmed and posed absolutely no threat at all to America.
This treasonous war was never a war for America, but only a war for Israel. It has so far led to the death of almost 3,000 Americans, grievous injuries of up to 25,000 of our men and women, expenditures of a national treasure of over 300 billion dollars, damage to American business around the world, trillions of dollars in higher costs for oil and gas + has only increased hatred against America.
Here are some excerpts from the article in Haaretz and the article on the terrrorist attack in Wikpedia:
Israel honors Egyptian spies 50 years after fiasco Wed.,

30.Mar.2005 By Reuters
After half a century of reticence and recrimination, Israel on Wednesday honored nine Egyptian Jews recruited as agents-provocateur in what became one of the worst intelligence bungles in the country’s history. Israel was at war with Egypt when it hatched a plan

00.000.1954 to ruin its rapprochement with the USA and Britain by firebombing sites frequented by foreigners in Cairo and Alexandria.
But Israeli hoped the attacks, which caused no casualties, would be blamed on local insurgents collapsed when the young Zionist bombers were caught and confessed at public trials. Two were hanged. The rest served jail terms and emigrated to Israel.
Embarrassed before the West, the fledgling Jewish state long denied involvement. It kept mum even after its 1979 peace deal with Egypt, fearing memories of the debacle could sour ties.
“Although it is still a sensitive situation, we decided now to express our respect for these heroes,” President Moshe Katzav said after presenting the three surviving members of the bomber ring with certificates of appreciation at a Jerusalem ceremony.
What went wrong in the “Lavon Affair” — after Pinhas Lavon, Israel’s defense minister when the plot came to light — remains a matter of debate in a country more used to tales of espionage coups…
The situation recurred

00.000.1985, when U.S. Navy analyst Jonathan Pollard was sentenced to life imprisonment in the USA for passing military secrets to Israel’s scientific liaison office…
“As with Pollard, this (Lavon Affair) was a rogue operation,” said David Kimche, a former Mossad deputy chief. “We knew never to go down that road again…
Meanwhile, the agents locked up in Egypt were ignored, excluded from several prisoner exchanges with Israel after the wars of 1956 and 1967. Now that they have been officially recognised in Israel, the former agents are campaigning for a full account of their operation to be included in the high-school syllabus.
“This is a great day for all of us, those who were hanged and those who died,” said Marcelle Ninio, the only female member of the cell. “We are happy we’ve got our honour back.
Lavon Affair
From Wikipedia
The aim of the 1954 Israeli Mossad project, codenamed Operation Suzannah was to bomb USA installations in Egypt, such as the United States Information Service offices + blame Arabs, hoping it would harm Egyptian-American ties. It became known as the Lavon Affair or the Unfortunate Affair after the Israeli defense minister Pinchas Lavon who was forced to resign because of the incident.
Israeli Mossad agents from “Unit 131? 1 planted bombs in several buildings, including a USA diplomatic facility + intentionally left behind evidence implicating Arabs as the culprits. The conspiracy was intended to disrupt U.S. relations with Egypt but one of the bombs detonated prematurely and the Egyptian police swiftly found one of the terrorists. This arrest quickly led to the capture of eleven of the thirteen members of the spy ring. Some of the spies were Israeli, while others were Egyptian Jews recruited by Mossad. Two of the conspirators were sentenced to death and executed. Six others were sentenced to lengthy prison terms.
Lavon claimed that he had no knowledge of the conspiracy and he attempted to scapegoat and fire his deputy, Shimon Peres. The Prime Minister of Israel, Moshe Sharett, appointed a board of inquiry consisting of Israeli Supreme Court Justice Isaac Olshan and the first chief of staff of the Israel Defense Forces, Ya’akov Dori.

Osama Bin Laden and his accolites must have offered up prayers of thanks to the Almighty when the Bush Chimpanzee was elected.

You do not need the intelligence of Einstein to realize that 9/11 was a Pearl Harbour like provocation designed to recruit the American Army to overthrow Saddam and the Baath Party.

It was all there in the PNAC literature, the Neocons were advertising for a terrorist outrage as a casus belli . Osama Bin Laden had called for Saddam's overthrow years ago and the Chimp has been his unwitting agent.
There is no remedy for the problems in Iraq and America is in really big trouble; by the time America digs itself out of the mess the World will be a different place.

Times are moving faster now. many people might get bottled up by information. Outrage is a bottling emmotion. You feel so strongly about so many things at once that you suddenly can't do anything about any little thing.

Or maybe you get sucked into this realm of horrified fascination and you can't stop grooving on how AWEFULL everything is.
Well, I can't tell you it's not that awefull, but I can tell you that this is the feeling of your feet coming off the Earth. You feel it? One day you were just minding the bills and then you got exposed to all this stuff and one thing led to another and before you knew it, you were totally insecure and now everything is scary.
The bad news is that it's really that scary. The good news is that you can come back down to Earth. The sun still rises in the East and sets in the West. Your friendly neighbor didn't just become an evil reservist freak out to get you. Your idiot neighbor who you hate has neither transformed into a reservist freak, albeit he or she may still be out to get you.
I think the trick is to transcend outrage in a visceral sense. Maybe a careful reading of Sun Tzu would be a start. Tai Chi is a good follow up. All of our power comes from our center and all this comes from our attachment to the Earth. And I don't mean attachment in the emmotional sense, I mean in the literal, physical sense. Your feet on the Earth is your connection to power. The air you breath is your connection to power. Every thought you have is your connection to power.
Outrage is a loss of power. Hyper-emmotion is a loss of power. Think about someone who experiences a horrific experience. A very common human reaction is to jump up and down. Perhaps while holding one's hands in front of one's face while making noises like "eeek, eeek, eeek".
It's highly expressive, not exactly productive, but more importantly, your feet just came up off the ground. One second, you were standing there, the next second you got spooked and in that moment, you forgot your own name.
ppens to all of us. Listen, in your most freaked moment, remember to get your feet back on the ground. That's all it takes. Just come back down. Breathe. See? You can still breathe. It's not that bad.
And if it is that bad, now that you got your feet on the ground,
run little one. Run and get help.
Warriors, now is the time when we are help. Let dogs bark at night.
It's been a hundred odd years since this call went out.
Let dogs bark at night.
Let dogs bark at night!

Bei Menschen jedoch, die ein schweres Trauma erlebt haben und in der Folge psychisch krank werden, bestehe ein Zusammenhang zwischen Albträumen und einer Veränderung des Schlafes. "Die Betroffenen wachen in der Nacht häufiger auf + der Rem-Schlaf ist zerstückelter", sagt Kapfhammer. Grund hierfür sei vermutlich die erhöhte Ausschüttung von Stresshormonen, die dann den Schlaf "zerhackten" - was die Erholung durch den Nachtschlaf mindern kann.
18.Nov.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-449226,00.html

Auch die Annahme, dass Träume und psychische Erkrankung eng zusammenhängen, sei nur teilweise richtig, sagt Wiegand.

Bei Psychosen wie der Schizophrenie erlebe der Betroffene zwar Halluzinationen + Denken und Wahrnehmung seien bizarrer als sonst - ganz ähnlich wie bei einem Gesunden im Traum.

Allerdings würden die vermeintlichen Halluzinationen im Traum eher aus Bildern bestehen, während Schizophrene vor allem Stimmen hörten.

18.Nov.2006 https://www.spiegel.de/wissenschaft/mensch/0,1518,druck-449226,00.html

Vor allem Ergebnisse, die im Widerspruch mit frühen Traumtheorien stehen, hätten die Traumforschung vorangebracht, sagt Michael Wiegand von der Klinik für Psychiatrie der Technischen Universität München.

So haben Schlafforscher lange angenommen, dass Träume ausschließlich im Rem-Schlaf vorkommen, einem Schlafstadium, in dem die Augen sich rasch hin und her bewegen (rapid eye movement), und die Muskulatur gehemmt ist. "Inzwischen weiß man, dass auch in den übrigen Schlafstadien kognitive Aktivität stattfindet", sagt Wiegand.

Lead researcher Dr Paul Riley said: "We found that, when treated with thymosin ß4, these adult cells have as much potential as embryonic cells to create healthy heart tissue."

Dr Riley said using thymosin ß4 could lead to a more effective way to repair damaged hearts.

He said: "Our research has shown that blood vessel regeneration is still possible in the adult heart.

"In the future if we can figure out how to direct the progenitor cells using thymosin ß4, there could be potential for therapy based on the patients' own heart cells.

"This approach would bypass the risk of immune system rejection, a major problem with the use of stem cell transplants from another source.

"And, it has the added benefit that the cells are already located in the right place - within the heart itself."

The study was funded by the British Heart Foundation (BHF) and the Medical Research Council (MRC).

Professor Jeremy Pearson, BHF associate medical director, said: "These results are important and exciting.

17.Nov.2006 REPORT: Karl Rove May Be Leaving The White House In ‘Weeks, Not Months’ - Faiz - 
The White House Bulletin, a service of Bulletin News, reports that White House senior political adviser Karl Rove — aka “Bushs-Brain-George-Bush-Presidential/dp/0471423270">Bush’s Brain” — may soon be on his way out:

The rumors that chief White House political architect Karl Rove will leave sometime next year are being bolstered with new insider reports that his partisan style is a hurdle to President Bush’s new push for bipartisanship. “Karl represents the old style and he’s got to go if the Democrats are going to believe Bush’s talk of getting along,” said a key Bush advisor.

Other elements are also at play:

The election yesterday of Sen. Trent Lott to the number two GOP leadership position in the Senate is also a threat to the White House + Rove,

who worked against him when he battled to save his majority leader’s job after his insensitive remarks about Sen. Strom Thurmond.

And insiders report that Bush counsel Harriet Miers isn’t a fan, believing that Rove didn’t do enough to help her failed Supreme Court nomination among conservatives.

In fact, one top West Wing advisor said that the unexpected ouster of Rove aide Susan Ralston over ethics questions was orchestrated by Miers as a signal to Rove to leave.

The advisor said that Rove is aware of the situation and that a departure might come in “weeks, not months.” A Rove ally, however, noted that he has a record of out-witting his critics.

Early this year, Rove gave up his role of overseeing policy development to focus more on politics with the approach of the fall midterm elections.

Rove said prior to the midterm elections that he had “ the math” to prove the Republicans would win back the House and Senate.

Rove’s predictions were proved wrong, earning him a public sniping at the hands of President Bush who said: “I obviously was working harder in the campaign than he was.” Digg It!

17.Nov.2006 Leahy Calls On Justice Department To Investigate Laura Ingraham’s Phone Jamming - Amanda - 

On election day, ThinkProgress posted audio of right-wing radio host Laura Ingraham urging her listeners to obstruct efforts to protect voting rights by jamming a free voter protection hotline.

Yesterday in a Senate Judiciary Commmittee hearing, Pat Leahy (D-VT) asked Wan Kim, Assistant Attorney General for the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division, whether his department would be investigating Ingraham’s phone jamming. Kim said Ingraham’s actions sounded like a “voter fraud scheme,” but that they didn’t fall under his division’s responsibilities, which cover “voter access.” Watch it: (HT: Glenn Greenwald)

Transcript:

LEAHY: I hear about so many candidates and political parties trying to interfere or intimidate people so that they won’t vote. According to press accounts, right-wing radio host Laura Ingraham, urged listeners of her radio show to jam a phone line set up by Democrats to investigate alleged voter irregularities. She told her listeners, everybody call that voting line all at the same time and basically mark it inoperative. Is that something that your division investigates?

KIM: Senator, that is a very good question. I share your concern about any sort of dirty trick or scheme to tell people not to vote or have people not vote because I agree with you that voting is the essence of our society and our democratic society and everyone who should vote should get out there and vote on Election Day. Historically, within the Department of Justice, we have divided responsibilities, between the civil rights division — to enforce voter access — and the criminal division — to police voter fraud and voter fraud schemes, like the one you mentioned. For example, it is the criminal division that spearheaded –

LEAHY: But to voter access — but if you’re jamming the things that enable voter access, does that come under your –

KIM: No, no senator.
17.Nov.2006 Coalition of the shrinking. - Faiz - 

“Iraq’s coalition of the willing is becoming an increasingly exclusive club. … Twenty-three countries remain in the U.S.-led coalition and the United Nations’ mission serving in and around Iraq, down from a high of 42 that joined the USA in the invasion or the postwar occupation of Iraq. More than half of those contributors have fewer than 150 troops, engineers or military trainers in the Iraq theater.”
17.Nov.2006 Costs of Iraq and Afghanistan set to top Vietnam War. - Amanda - 

“The Pentagon is considering $127 billion to $160 billion in requests from the armed services for the 2007 fiscal year. … That’s on top of $70 billion already approved for 2007. Since 2001, Congress has approved $502 billion for the war on terror, roughly two-thirds for Iraq.”
17.Nov.2006 In Vietnam, Bush Repeats Kissinger: ‘We’ll Succeed Unless We Quit’ - Nico - 

Today, during his first visit to Vietnam, President Bush was “asked about the war here over three decades ago and the comparisons to the war in Iraq today.” Bush said there was a comparison: As in Vietnam, “We’ll succeed unless we quit.” Watch it:

Bush’s remarks virtually mirror those made by former Secretary of State Henry Kissinger. As Bob Woodward detailed in his book State of Denial, Kissinger is a frequent advisor to President Bush and has delivered the message to top administration officials that “victory over the insurgency is the only meaningful exit strategy”:

Kissinger sensed wobbliness everywhere on Iraq + he increasingly saw it through the prism of the Vietnam War. For Kissinger, the overriding lesson of Vietnam is to stick it out.

In his writing, speeches and private comments, Kissinger claimed that the USA had essentially won the war 00.000.1972, only to lose it because of the weakened resolve of the public and Congress.

In a column in The Washington Post on Aug. 12, 2005, titled “Lessons for an Exit Strategy,” Kissinger wrote, “Victory over the insurgency is the only meaningful exit strategy.”

He delivered the same message directly to Bush, Cheney and Hadley at the White House.

Victory had to be the goal, he told all. Don’t let it happen again. Don’t give an inch, or else the media, the Congress and the American culture of avoiding hardship will walk you back.

The lesson from Vietnam is exactly the opposite of what Bush suggested. In fact, we can succeed by leaving. Bush acknowledged as much, stating Vietnam has show progress in recent years. Vietnam’s recovery demonstrates that a U.S. withdrawal does not doom a country to civil strife. America’s venture in Vietnam failed not because we left too soon, but because we left too late.

17.Nov.2006 Inhofe: Don’t Worry About Global Warming Because ‘God’s Still Up There’ - Faiz - 

In an interview with Fox and Friends this morning, outgoing Chairman of the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works James Inhofe (R-OK) argued that the current wave of unprecedented warming is due to “natural changes.” “God’s still up there,” Inhofe said + to the extent there is warming going on, it is “due to the sun.” He added, “George Soros, the Hollywood elitists, the far left environmentalists on the committee that I chair — all of them want us to believe the science is settled and it’s not.” Watch it.

Despite Inhofe’s repeated efforts to muddy the picture, there is no real scientific debate over whether global warming is manmade or naturally-caused.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), a body which involves thousands of scientists from over 120 countries who develop detailed reports on climate change, produced a report 00.000.2001 which was reviewed by more than 1,000 top experts, including so-called “climate skeptics” and representatives from industry. The report stated, “There is new and stronger evidence that most of the warming observed over the last 50 years is attributable to human activities.”

Most recently, the National Academy of Sciences has unequivocally concluded that natural causes cannot explain the unprecedented warmth over the last 400 years. Rather, “human activities are responsible for much of the recent warming,” the report states. Transcript:

INHOFE: Now look, God’s still up there. We still have these natural changes + this is what’s going on right now. New science comes out. I had a news conference yesterday, Brian + the reason I did is because we were going to go over to Nairobi, take a bunch of scientists to get the true science over there, only to find out that the registration had dropped off. Almost no media was over there. So we had the same news conference yesterday right here in Washington, D.C.

We had all these scientists and all of them came to the conclusion, yes, part of the globe is warming. Let’s keep in mind, now, the southern hemisphere has never been warming and changing in the last 25 years. The last time I checked that’s part of the globe.

But if the northern hemisphere is warming up, it’s not due to manmade gases. And that’s what these people all come to the conclusion. And yet the other side, the far left, the George Soros, the Hollywood elitists, the far left environmentalists on the committee that I chair — all of them want us to believe the science is settled and it’s not.

By the way, there’s all kinds of new things. Gretchen, you’ll enjoy this. Get your violin out and get ready. They came out with a great discovery just a few weeks ago. And this came from the geophysical research letters and you know what they said? Hold on now! They said the warming is due to the sun. Isn’t that remarkable?

GRETCHEN: Wow.

BRIAN: That’s a Fox News alert.

GRETCHEN: That is a Fox News alert.

UPDATE: Hotline is reporting that Boehner’s margin of victory was 168 to 27.

UPDATE II: Rep. Roy Blunt (R-MO), the outgoing Majority Whip, has been elected House Minority Whip. The Hill notes, “Blunt defeated [Rep.

Some believed Blunt would be cast aside as tainted by long membership of the leadership team, but his colleagues opted to stick with lawmaker who knows the ins and out of House rules.”
17.Nov.2006 November 17, 2006 - Think Progress - 

Sen. Chris Dodd (D-CT) introduced legislation yesterday that would amend the existing law governing military tribunals of detainees. Among other things, the bill “seeks to give habeas corpus protections to military detainees ” and narrow the definition of “unlawful enemy combatant” to individuals who directly participate in hostilities against the USA.

“The U.S. military called no witnesses, withheld evidence from detainees and usually reached a decision within a day as it determined that hundreds of men detained at Guantanamo Bay were ‘enemy combatants,’ according to a new report.”

31 percent: President Bush’s approval rating on his handling of the Iraq war, “the lowest level ever,” according to a new AP-Ipsos poll.

“Pentagon guidelines that classified homosexuality as a mental disorder now put it among a list of conditions or ‘circumstances’ that range from bed-wetting to fear of flying.”

The new “State of the Arctic” analysis from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration reports that “ Arctic sea ice coverage this past March was the lowest in winter since measurements by satellite began in the early 1970s.”

“Global talks to widen a fight against climate change reached gridlock on their final day on Friday after scant progress overnight to encourage rich nations to help Africa.” The nations remain deadlocked on the extension of the U.N.’s Kyoto Protocol for fighting warming beyond 2012.

“ Violence in Iraq continues to increase in scope, complexity + lethality ,” Defense Intelligence Agency director Lt. Gen. Michael D. Maples told the Senate Armed Services Committee. He described “an atmosphere of fear and hardening sectarianism which is empowering militias and vigilante groups, hastening middle-class exodus + shaking confidence in government and security forces.”

Former Secretary of State James Baker met recently with Syrian officials to urge their cooperation in quelling the violent insurgency. The developments suggest the Iraq Study Group “will recommend that President George W. Bush reverse current policy and engage in talks with the leadership in Damascus .”

The incoming majority on the Senate Judiciary Committee yesterday “vowed to impose intense oversight on the Justice Department’s Civil Rights Division next year, telling a Bush administration official in charge of the agency that the next Congress will scrutinize whether civil rights laws are being properly enforced.”
17.Nov.2006 Senate GOP: Lott’s Racist - Are No Longer An Issue, ‘Admire Him For Coming Back’ - Amanda - 

Yesterday, Senate Republicans chose Trent Lott (R-MS) as their new Minority Whip.

00.000.2002, Lott was forced to step down as Majority Leader when “comments he made at former Sen. Strom Thurmond’s (R-SC) birthday party touched off a racially charged controversy.”

At the time, Sen. Charles Hagel (R-NE) said the remark was a “dumb statement” that “raises questions about his judgment.” Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said Lott needed to “proactively send a message to his colleagues in the Senate and the American people that he is absolutely opposed to any segregation in any form and racism in any form and discrimination in any form.”

What was racism

00.000.2002 is a non-issue

00.000.2006.

NPR interviewed several senators — including Hagel and McCain — who said that Lott’s racist comments didn’t even come up in his whip nomination: CLICK HERE TO LISTEN

Here are the Senate Republicans’ comments from the NPR report:

Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX):

HOST: In that closed room, did anyone mention specifically the Strom Thurmond birthday party incident that led to–

CORNYN: It didn’t come up .

Sen. Olympia Snowe (R-ME):

We understand what happened. There’s no point going over. It’s in the past now, you know + he has expressed, you know, his deep regret, as he should.

Sen. John McCain (R-AZ):

I think most people think he paid a pretty heavy price for the mistake that he made. We all believe in redemption, thank God.

Sen. Chuck Hagel (R-NE):

Everyone has an opportunity to rehabilitate themselves if they want to do it + I admire Trent Lott for coming back and offering himself . The conference spoke + we go forward.
17.Nov.2006 O’Reilly Blasts O.J. Interview, Falsely Claims ‘Fox Broadcasting Has Nothing To Do with Fox News’ - Judd - 

Last night, Fox News host Bill O’Reilly blasted Fox for its upcoming interview with O.J. Simpson, in which the former NFL star describes “how he would have murdered his ex-wife and her companion.” O’Reilly calls it “a low point in American culture” but notes “Fox Broadcasting has nothing to do with the Fox News Channel.”

Actually, Fox Broadcasting is tightly connected to Fox News. Radar has the details:

– “ Fox News Channel chief Roger Ailes…also chairs Fox Television Stations, the group behind the forthcoming” special on OJ.

– “ Fox Broadcasting and the Fox News Channel are both owned by…News Corp. founder and chief Rupert Murdoch .”

– “ Fox Broadcasting Corporation–the people who program prime time for the Fox network–regularly air Fox News-produced programming ” including “O’Reilly’s special “documentaries” about people who hate children and Jesus.”

Moreover, the upcoming O.J. Simpson interview is being promoted by Fox News. Watch O’Reilly and then watch Fox News hype the interview relentlessly:
17.Nov.2006 Feingold: We Should Challenge Generals Whose ‘Assessments…Were Wrong’ - Faiz - 

On MSNBC today, Sen. Russ Feingold (D-WI) contended that the generals who have been in charge in Iraq, particularly Gen. John Abizaid and Gen. George Casey, should be challenged on their current recommendations to stay the course.

Feingold noted that he has traveled to Iraq for two years in a row to meet with these generals and solicit their predictions about violence in Iraq. “Their assessments of what was going to happen were wrong. They were wrong about how things were going to improve,” he said. “I think is a mistake [not to question them] and really an affront to the American people, who want us to show them that we can get out of Iraq and redeploy intelligently,” he added. Watch it: Transcript:

O’DONNELL: Let me ask you about what General Abizaid said yesterday. He said no to troop withdrawal. So what power do the Democrats have, now that they have the majority, to force someone like General Abizaid, the man with stars on his shoulder, to change course in Iraq?

FEINGOLD: Well, this is just more of the same. I talked to General Casey and General Abizaid two years in a row when I was in Iraq and in the Middle East + their assessments of what was going to happen were wrong. They were wrong about how things were going to improve.

So for us to simply rely on his word now, that we have to keep the same number of troops there, I think is a mistake and really an affront to the American people, who want us to show them that we can get out of Iraq and redeploy intelligently.

So what we should do is, the Democratic House and Senate, along with Republicans that will come with us, should vote to establish a reasonable time frame, I would say the middle of 2007, to redeploy the troops. That’s what the American people want.

O’DONNELL: Are you questioning the competence of our military leaders, General Casey and General Abizaid?

FEINGOLD: Absolutely not. General Casey and General Abizaid are enormously talented. But they have given us assessments of what they thought was going to happen. That doesn’t have to do with competence. That happens to do with whether they can predict things. And it’s very hard to predict things in Iraq.

The one thing we know is that the situation isn’t getting better, it isn’t going to get better + it doesn’t make sense to further weaken our military and our national security by just staying the course, which is essentially what General Abizaid was talking about.
17.Nov.2006 Fox News Revolt: Smith Says Bush Politicization Of Iraq War Strategy ‘Disgusting’ - Nico - 

The Pentagon announced today that 2,200 Marines have been ordered into the Iraqi province of Al-Anbar, “where fierce fighting has claimed at least 21 U.S. servicemembers this month.”

Reacting to the Pentagon announcement, Shephard Smith said “no one should be surprised by any of this” because it “was clear before the election that changes were essential.” But Smith pointed out, “They had to wait until after the election to make changes for political reasons, which I find disgusting.” Watch it:

Full transcript:

MACCALLUM: You know, I just want to throw one thing into this conversation because we just got this coming from our folks at the Pentagon: 2,200 additional Marines are now headed to the Anbar province to deal with the violence there. Shephard, we’ve talked a lot–

SMITH: Ones who are already in region or one’s who have been brought from here?

MACCALLUM: These folks are coming — 15th Marine Expeditionary Force based at California’s Camp Pendleton. They’re already deployed in the region and General Abizaid is now moving them, which is the kind of movement that we’ve seen before into the difficult areas.

SMITH: No one should be surprised by any of this. It was clear before the election that changes were essential, that what we were doing was not working. The President said it. Everyone involved said it. They had to wait until after the election to make changes for political reasons, which I find disgusting. But now they’ve done that, changes are coming + we’ll see how it goes. Hopefully somebody can come up with a plan.

“While American commanders have suggested that civil war is possible in Iraq, many leaders, experts and ordinary people in Baghdad and around the Middle East say it is already underway + that the real worry ahead is that the conflict will destroy the flimsy Iraqi state and draw in surrounding countries,” the Washington Post reports. “The war will be over Iraq, over its dead body,” said one expert.

17.Nov.2006 FACT CHECK: Increasing Troop Levels In Baghdad Made Violence Worse - Faiz - 

The Guardian reports that the Bush administration may be heeding McCain’s calls for an escalation in Iraq:

President George Bush has told senior advisers that the US and its allies must make “a last big push” to win the war in Iraq and that instead of beginning a troop withdrawal next year, he may increase US forces by up to 20,000 soldiers, according to sources familiar with the administration’s internal deliberations.

We’ve seen a “big push” in Baghdad before.

00.Jun.2006 -mid-, President Bush announced a major effort to secure Baghdad, stating at a news conference that over 7,000 U.S.-led coalition troops would be moved into the city. “This operation is a joint effort to restore security and rule of law to high-risk areas in the capital city,” Bush said.

A record number of Iraqi civilians were reported killed in October. “Statistics issued by the Interior Ministry for Iraqis killed in political violence put civilian deaths last month at 1,289. That is nearly 42 a day and is up 18% from the 1,089 seen in September. September’s figures themselves were a record high.” In Baghdad, the morgue reported the official toll of violent deaths in August was 1535, a level in line with previous months.

Administration officials have been forced to concede that the Baghdad big push had failed:

BUSH: After some initial successes, our operations to secure Baghdad have encountered greater resistance. Some of the Iraqi security forces have performed below expectations. … I know many Americans are not satisfied with the situation in Iraq. I’m not satisfied, either.

AMBASSADOR KHALILZAD: It has not produced the results I expected so far. The plan is being reviewed + adjustments will be made. No, it has not performed to the level that was expected.

GEN. CALDWELL: Operation Together Forward has made a difference in the focus areas but has not met our overall expectations of sustaining a reduction in the levels of violence.

359 U.S. troops have died since the Baghdad operation began. Moreover, U.S. deaths in Iraq peaked last month, the deadliest month of the Iraq war since American forces made big pushes in Fallujah

in April and November of 2004.

The lessons from the last “big push” in Baghdad demonstrates that the American occupation is fueling the insurgency’s fire. A recent poll of Iraqis indicated that support for attacks on U.S.-led forces has grown to a majority position — now six in ten. The administration is apparently ready to make the same mistake once again.

17.Nov.2006 China Reinstates Wikipedia Ban - Zonk  38 -  Rob T Firefly writes

"The International Herald Tribute reports that the lifting of China's Wikipedia ban earlier this week was short-lived. Wikipedia is once again inaccessible from behind the Great Firewall, along with all other Wikimedia projects. Additionally, the URL of Chinese Wikipedia is once again a banned search term. No reason has yet been given for any of it." From the article: "It wasn't immediately clear if Wikipedia was inaccessible due to technical glitches or because government censors had blocked the site again. The Foreign Ministry and Ministry of Information Industry did not immediately respond when contacted for comment Friday. Beijing blocked access to the English and Chinese versions of Wikipedia in October last year, apparently out of concern about entries touching on the country's sensitive spots -- Tibet, Taiwan and other topics."

"Technology Review has a Q&A with Andrew Maynard, the science advisor for the Woodrow Wilson International Center's nanotechnology project regarding the dangers of nanomaterials and why we have to act now." From the article: "Individual experiments have indicated that if you develop materials with a nanostructure, they do behave differently in the body and in the environment. We know from animal studies that very, very fine particles, particles with high surface area, lead to a greater inflammatory response than the same amount of larger particles. We also know that they can enter the lining of the lungs and get through to the blood and enter other organs. There is some evidence that nanoparticles can move into the brain along the olfactory nerve, so this is completely circumventing the blood-brain barrier."
17.Nov.2006 The Web Fueling A Crisis in Politics? - Zonk 137 - 
"The BBC is reporting that Tony Blair's outgoing chief strategy adviser fears the internet could be fueling a crisis in the relationship between politicians and voters. '

Mr Taylor said Mr Blair's online grilling from voters — and other initiatives such as environment secretary David Miliband's blog and Downing Street's new online petition service — showed the government was making good progress in using the internet to become more open and accountable. But he said more needed to be done by the web community in general to encourage people to use the internet to "solve problems" rather than simply abuse politicians or make "incommensurate" demands on them.' 'But rather than work out these dilemmas in partnership with their elected leaders, they were encouraged to regard all politicians as corrupt or mendacious by the media, which he described as 'a conspiracy to maintain the population in a perpetual state of self-righteous rage'. Whether media was left wing or right wing, the message was always that 'leaders are out there to shaft you'." Some credit was given to the internet for high voter turnout in this month's elections ... how is that a bad thing?

At high temperatures, impurities in the metal 'could have catalyzed the growth of nanotubes from carbon in the burning wood and leaves used to make the wootz, Paufler suggests.

17.Nov.2006 Rumors Resurface That Bush Has Started Drinking Again - Verse-Case Scenario by Tony Peyser
17.Nov.2006 _{https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/} Did Al Qaeda trick W into invading Iraq? The pseudonymous Omar Nasiri claims to be a real life "Morocco mole" inside Al Qaeda.

He has attracted a great deal of attention in the U.K. with his televised assertion that Osama and the boys deliberately planted "evidence" designed to goad Bush into an invasion of Iraq. From the Guardian:
The claim was made by Omar Nasiri, a pseudonym for a Moroccan who says he spent seven years working for European security + intelligence agencies, including MI5.

He said Ibn Sheikh al-Libi, who ran training camps in Afghanistan, told his US interrogators that al-Qaida had been training Iraqis.
Libi was captured in November 2001 and taken to Egypt where he was allegedly tortured.

Asked on BBC2's Newsnight whether Libi or other jihadists would have told the truth if they were tortured, Nasiri replies: "Never".
Asked whether he thought Libi had deliberately planted information to get the US to fight Iraq, Nasiri said: "Exactly". At first glance, the scenario seems questionable.

The Bushites obviously wanted to go into Iraq well before September 11, 2001;
17.Nov.2006 _{https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/} The whole "They tricked us!" meme seems like an all-too convenient rationalization for a failed military adventure.
On the other hand, Michael Scheur, former head of the CIA's Bin Laden unit, vouches for Nasiri -- who, of course, now has a book out. (See here.)
17.Nov.2006 _{https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/} Was Libi tortured?

Apparently so. At the time of his capture, Jack Coonan -- an FBI anti-terrorism expert in Pakistan -- advised his captors to keep the interrogation on a by-the-book basis.

That advice went unheeded: To Cloonan's dismay, the C.I.A. reportedly rendered Libi to Egypt. He was seen boarding a plane in Afghanistan, restrained by handcuffs and ankle cuffs, his mouth covered by duct tape. Cloonan, who retired

00.000.2002 from the F.B.I., said, "At least we got information in ways that wouldn't shock the conscience of the court. And no one will have to seek revenge for what I did."

He added, "We need to show the world that we can lead + not just by military might."
After Libi was taken to Egypt, the F.B.I. lost track of him. Yet he evidently played a crucial background role in Secretary of State Colin Powell's momentous address to the United Nations Security Council

00.Feb.2003 which argued the case for a preëmptive war against Iraq. In his speech, Powell did not refer to Libi by name, but he announced to the world that "a senior terrorist operative" who "was responsible for one of Al Qaeda's training camps in Afghanistan" had told U.S. authorities that Saddam Hussein had offered to train two Al Qaeda operatives in the use of "chemical or biological weapons."
Last summer, Newsweek reported that Libi, who was eventually transferred from Egypt to Guantánamo Bay, was the source of the incendiary charge cited by Powell + that he had recanted.
17.Nov.2006 _{https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/} So apparently Nasiri's claims do have validity.

And it should be noted that the CIA and the DIA apparently argued (behind the scenes) that Libi deliberately spilled false info on a variety of topics.

When he described how Iraqi agents gave Al Qaeda members CBW training, the details of his story did not track with independently-acquired data. From a Senate report published two months ago:

00.Jan.2004 al-Libi recanted his allegations about CBW training and many of his other claims about Iraq's links to al Qa'ida.

He told debriefers that, to the best of his knowledge, al-Qa'ida never sent any individuals into Iraq for any kind of support in chemical or biological weapons.

Al-libi told debriefers that he fabricated information while in U.S. custody to receive better treatment + in response to threats of being transferred to a foreign intelligence service which he believed would torture him...

He said that later, while he was being debriefed by a (REDACTED) foreign intelligence service, he fabricated more information in response to physical abuse and threats of torture.

The foreign government service denies using any pressure during al-Libi's interrogation.

00.Feb.2004 the CIA reissued the debriefing reports from al-Libi to note that he had recanted information.

A CIA officer explained that while CIA believes al-Libi fabricated information, the CIA cannot determine whether, or what portions of, the original statements or the later recants are true of false.
17.Nov.2006 _{https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/} I've said it before and I'll say it again:

Prisoners are tortured not to secure the truth, but to secure testimony that the captors want to hear.

Did Libi trick the neocons -- or did they use Libi to trick us ? Permalink
17.Nov.2006 _{https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/} Can you PROVE you didn't rape your sister...?

By now, no doubt know about CNN host Glenn Beck's obscene question to the newly-elected Keith Ellison (D-MN), soon to be the first Muslim congressman: "Sir, prove to me that you are not working with our enemies."
At the risk of sounding a little like Xymphora ( 'America have three main problem: Jew, Jew and Jew' ), I quite agree with the rejoinder posed by What Really Happened:

How about asking Jewish members of congress to prove they are not working with the known spies at AIPAC. Or perhaps we can ask Obama to prove that he's not a secret follower of Louis Farrakhan.

And maybe Rudy Guiliani should prove that he's not in Da Mob. And it's about time Hillary proved that she is not a witch.

And... ...and maybe Glenn Beck should prove he's not part of a conspiracy to turn our citizens into Nazis. Permalink

Doch der Münchner Finanzkonzern hat nach einem Bericht des "Handelsblatts" kaum noch Chancen, den Konflikt über die Versicherung des von Terroranschlägen zerstörten World Trade Centers in New York außergerichtlich beizulegen. Heute treffen sich zwar Vertreter des Münchner Konzerns mit dem früheren World-Trade-Center-Pächter, um Einigungsmöglichkeiten auszuloten.

Der Immobilienunternehmer zeigt sich aber wenig kompromissbereit und will auch nicht von "Schlichtungsgesprächen" sprechen.

"Die Allianz hält uns seit mehr als fünf Jahren hin. Jetzt sollen die Gerichte entscheiden", erklärte Silverstein dem "Handelsblatt".

Die Versicherung schulde ihm insgesamt "865 Millionen Dollar. Davon hat sie erst rund 312 Millionen Dollar bezahlt".

Die Versicherung weigert sich und argumentiert, sie habe bereits mehr als eine halbe Milliarde Dollar bezahlt.

"Wir denken nicht daran, weitere Zahlungen zu leisten, solange diese nicht durch die tatsächliche Schadenshöhe begründet sind", sagte Andreas Shell, Schadens-Chef der Allianz Global Corporate & Speciality.

Vom Gericht bestellte Experten sollen nun die tatsächliche Schadenshöhe feststellen.

"Geizhälse sind mein Risiko, ich weiß", konstatiert der Ermittler. Wenn er auf einen Schundnickel trifft, hat er schlechte Karten. Das hat sogar der Bundesgerichtshof entschieden.
Die Richter wiesen die Klage eines Erbensuchers ab, der durch seine Wühlarbeit einem Geschwisterpaar zum Vermögen des verstorbenen Halbbruders verholfen hatte. Die beiden Erben weigerten sich, eine Vereinbarung zu unterschreiben, die dem Rechercheur 20 Prozent ihres Anteils gesichert hätte. Und bekamen recht.
Wer die Suche nach verschollenen Erben "gewerblich" betreibe, heißt es im Urteil,

habe bei fehlender Honorarvereinbarung auch dann keinen Zahlungsanspruch, wenn er dem Erben tatsächlich zur Erbschaft verholfen habe.
