31.Jan.2007 Empire v. Democracy Why Nemesis Is at Our Door -By Chalmers Johnson
From the present vantage point, it certainly seems a daunting challenge for any President (or Congress) from either party even to begin the task of dismantling the military-industrial complex, ending the pall of "national security" secrecy and the "black budgets" that make public oversight of what our government does impossible + bringing the president's secret army, the CIA, under democratic control.

31.Jan.2007 US 'Victory' Against Cult Leader Was 'Massacre' -By Patrick Cockburn in Baghdad
There are growing suspicions in Iraq that the official story of the battle outside Najaf between a messianic Iraqi cult and the Iraqi security forces supported by the US, in which 263 people were killed and 210 wounded, is a fabrication. The heavy casualties may be evidence of an unpremeditated massacre.

31.Jan.2007 The Real Game -By William S. Lind
The real game + a successful one to date, is to let the Americans take the brunt of the fight with armed Sunni organizations, whether nationalist or Baathist or Al Qaeda or whomever, while the Shiite militias get the softer job of terrorizing Sunni civilians and forcing them out. That is likely to be the story of Operation Baghdad, regardless of our intentions.

Former Time magazine reporter Matthew Cooper said Libby, Rove told him of Plame: "He said she worked on [weapons of mass destruction] for the agency," Cooper said. "By that, I took it to mean the Central Intelligence Agency, not the Environmental Protection Agency. We talked about it a bit more. He said words to the effect, 'I've already said too much, I've got to go.'" 2/1

James Caroll: Critics charge that even incremental cuts in war funding -- setting real caps and real timetables -- would amount to an abandonment of the troops. The answer to that charge comes from the troops themselves: "Who the hell is shooting at us?" To leave our soldiers in the deathtrap of Iraq is the true abandonment.
Europeans fear US attack on Iran as nuclear row intensifies. This is the Bush/Cheney diversion, another war. Then they will claim Bush can't be criticized because it would be putting our soldiers in harm's way. Here we go again. Only, this time the world might explode, because the Busheviks are going to go nuclear on this one.

31.Jan.2007 Doubts Are Creeping In On The 'Fierce Battle' With A 'Messianic Cult' Designed To Get The U.S. To Take On Iran; Did They Think We Wouldn't Notice? 2/1
31.Jan.2007 Miller time As far as Libby's defense goes: This is pretty much it, then, eh wot?
Reporter Judith Miller testified Tuesday that former vice presidential aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby identified a CIA operative to her on two occasions on dates earlier than he has told investigators he first heard the information from another reporter...
Libby, then Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, told the FBI and a grand jury that he thought he was hearing Valerie Plame's CIA job for the first time from NBC's Tim Russert on July 10, 2003.
Five government officials, including ex-White House press secretary Ari Fleischer, also have testified that they discussed Plame and her CIA job with Libby before July 10.
Earlier Tuesday, the jury saw notes Libby took on or about June 12 that indicated Cheney himself told Libby then that the war critic's wife worked at the CIA. Emptywheel's speculative piece
"What I think happened" strikes me as our best, most-informed guess as to the sequence of events.

Küstenstadt ohne Küstenklima

"Das mag nach einem Weltuntergangsszenario klingen, aber wir müssen uns dem stellen", sagte Morris Iemma, Regierungschef von New South Wales, der die Studie beim renommierten australischen Forschungsinstitut CSIRO (Australian Commonwealth Scientific and Research Organization) in Auftrag gegeben hatte. Die Werte für Sydney liegen deutlich über den Prognosen der Vereinten Nationen für die Entwicklung der weltweiten Temperatur. Das Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) der Uno wird in seinem neuen Bericht einen Anstieg der globalen Durchschnittstemperatur um bis zu 4,5 Grad bis 2100 vorhersagen. Das wahrscheinlichste Szenario des Reports, der am Freitag in Paris offiziell vorgestellt werden soll, geht von einem Anstieg um drei Grad aus.

Heißer Wahlkampf

Der neue Klimabericht dürfte auch den australischen Wahlkampf beeinflussen. In Australien, dem schon heute trockensten aller Kontinente, herrscht derzeit die schlimmste Dürre seit mehr als 100 Jahren. In fast allen großen Städten muss das Trinkwasser rationiert werden.

Umweltschützer haben angesichts der neuen Studie ihre Kritik an Ministerpräsident John Howard wiederholt, der das Klimaprotokoll von Kyoto bisher nicht unterzeichnet hat. Howard lehnt das weiterhin ab - mit Verweis auf die Boom-Länder China und Indien, die auch nicht an das Abkommen zur Verminderung des CO2-Ausstoßes gebunden seien.

31.Jan.2007 Ancient Village Unearthed Near Stonehenge - kdawson 37 - cityhunter007 writes to point out coverage on .com about an ancient village discovered two miles from Stonehenge

that may have housed workers building the monument, or perhaps visitors after it was constructed. The village, at a site known as Durrington Walls, dates from about the time Stonehenge was built, 2600 BCE. The article says: "The researchers speculated that Durrington Walls was a place for the living and Stonehenge — where cremated remains have been found — was a cemetery and memorial... Stonehenge was oriented to face the midsummer sunrise and midwinter sunset, while the wooden circle at Durrington Walls faced the midwinter sunrise and midsummer sunset."

Libby Trial and AQ Khan - BG 
That said, why is Team Libby mentioning AQ Khan in any case and what is the context of the rest of the document which Addington is being asked about? Because not only would this indicate that early in July not only did Libby and/or Addington, if not both, appear to know that Plame worked for the CIA + where specifically, but they appear to note AQ Khan in their discussions of this, which means, they knew what Plame was working on by July 8.<BR><BR>This is important, because the case being made is that they only knew that she worked on the counter-p side of things at the agency...

The company which got the contract, Bajagua, had no experience in treating waste water; its plan was opposed by the State Department, EPA, the Justice Department. When Bill Clinton was in the White House his Office of Management and Budget rejected the plan as unworkable and illegal. But all this opposition melted away after Bush came into office and Cheney intervened on Bajaqua's behalf. Now the project appears to be very far behind schedule + its n...

31.Jan.2007 Updated: The Myth Of The Palestinian Suicide Bomber - BG 

Signs of the Times - Alternative news for Tue, 30 Jan 2007
Updated: The Myth Of The Palestinian Suicide Bomber

While the Israeli government has turned the Gaza strip and West Bank regions of Palestine into virtual prison camps, there is one section of the Palestinian community that appears to enjoy unhindered freedom of movement and a blind eye form the Israeli camps guards: "suicide bombers".

Today, one of these rare breed allegedly managed to get all the way down to the southern tip of Israel, to the Red Sea resort town of Eilat.

At 9.45 this morning (Eilat time), we are told that a "Palestinian suicide bomber" detonated his explosives in a small bakery, killing three people and himself. As with every other "suicide bombing" attributed to Palestinians over the past 6 years, we are forced to rely only on the claims of Israeli state security forces that each bombing was indeed a "suicide" attack. Such claims are almost always made within minutes of the event, subsequently propagating virus-like around the world's news agencies so that, by the time the world public gets wind of the news, it is already a closed case. There is however much to be gained from looking at the details of these alleged suicide bombings, because when we do, problems with the story invariably arise, not to mention uncomfortable questions.

In this case, the first such problem is that of authorship of the attack. Again as was the case in many previous bombings, exactly who was responsible is not very clear.

First we read:

Three dead in suicide attack in Israeli resort

A deadly suicide attack has struck the Israeli Red Sea town of Eilat. At least three people have been killed in a bombing inside a bakery. This is the first suicide attack in Israel since April + the first ever in Eilat, a popular tourist resort. Palestinian militant groups immediately claimed responsibility.

Then Reuters informs us:

Three Palestinian militant groups claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing on Monday that killed three people in Israel's Red Sea resort of Eilat.

Islamic Jihad, al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades -- part of President Mahmoud Abbas's Fatah faction -- and the previously unknown "Army of Believers" each said it carried out the attack, the first Palestinian bombing in Israel since April.
But then:

The al-Aqsa Martyrs Brigades and a previously unknown group calling itself the "Army of Believers" say they carried out the attack. And an Islamic Jihad spokesman Khader Habib had this comment: "We don't have any information that our movement is responsible. But anyway this is part of our right to resist occupation. It's a normal reaction against acts of Israeli occupation on our people which never stop," he said.

And:

Fatah spokesman Ahmad Abdul Rahman condemned the violence, saying, "We are against any operation that targets civilians, Israelis or Palestinians."

So What Happened in Najaf? - BG 
So What Happened in Najaf? :: from www.uruknet.info :: news from occupied Iraq - it
So let me get this straight. The Iraqi officials can't agree on who they were fighting or who their leader was, so how did they figure out all these colourful details about "brainwashed women and children" and the intentions of killing all clerics or bombing the shrine or taking over the shrine, etc.?
Zeyad, Healing Iraq

30.Jan.2007
The Sadrist account: Nahrain Net, a Sadrist website, quotes anonymous sources from the Hawza and security officials in Najaf that an armed group named "Jund Al-Samaa'" (the Army of Heaven, the Soldiers of Heaven, the Soldiers of the Skies) were amassing in palm groves at Zarga, north of Kufa + that they were plotting to take supreme Shi'ite clerics in Najaf, including Sistani, Ishaq Al-Fayyadh, Ya'qubi, Mohammed Al-Hakim + Muqtada Al-Sadr, as hostages in order to use as a bargain to control the shrine of Imam Ali in Najaf. Allegedly, a list was found with the group that contained names of senior clerics in Najaf and Karbala + that Muqtada was number two on the list after Sistani. They added that the group was coordinating with Ba'athists and Al-Qaeda and that they have received logistic and monetary backing from Saudi Arabia.
The Iraqi Health Minister's account: Health Minister Ali Al-Shammari (Sadrist Bloc) revealed that over 123 militants were wounded in the battle and that they were being treated in Najaf's hospitals. Militants killed were "in the hundreds," most of who are of unknown identities. The group's military commander was killed in the battle and he was identified as Dhiaa' Abdul Zahra Kadhim, a man from Hilla.
Ahmed Du'aibil, Media Spokesman of the Najaf Governorate (SCIRI): 250 – 300 militants were killed in the clashes at Zarga. "16 terrorists" were detained, including two Egyptians and a Saudi.

31.Jan.2007 Infowars Exclusive: 7/7 Bus Bomb Survivor Describes "Agents" At Scene In Immediate Aftermath - BG https://infowars.net/articles/january2007/290107Exclusive.htm
Witness claims a group of secret service operatives and intelligence officers were already inside the cordon before the bus arrived in Tavistock square.

Steve Watson & Alex Jones Infowars.net Monday,

29.Jan.2007

Daniel Obachike, the man who was on the lower deck of the number thirty bus that exploded in Tavistock Square in London on 7/7/05, has exclusively provided Infowars with a preview of a new section of his soon to be published narrative, The 4th Bomb.

Last month we detailed how Daniel's forthcoming book will claim that the Hackney bus was diverted to Tavistock Square by two unmarked cars which then left the scene at high speed after the drivers had conversed with police in the area.

"Standing by the doors I see a blue BMW 5 series and black Mercedes squeal to a halt in front of the bus, halting its progress along Euston Road. 4 minutes passed then a police motorcyclist arrived at the blockage. The BMW driver said something to the cyclist who soon sped off. 90 seconds later the BMW suddenly drives off. The Mercedes waits till the bus diverts east into Upper Woburn Place towards Tavistock Square before it speeds away."

Daniel claims that in the immediate seconds after the blast, a man dressed all in black was filming him with a hand held camera. He claims he was subjected to a program of surveillance and harassment for months by the police and was only asked to provide a witness statement 6 months after the event.

If lying to the public about matters of grave importance were an impeachable offense, however, almost no President--including, for starters, Franklin Roosevelt and his deceptions regarding lend-lease--would survive. It is even more difficult to construct criminality out of Bush's reckless disregard of the consequences of Katrina. It is not, however, at all difficult to accuse him of maladministration and disqualifying incompetence.

Watching the chaos below, Bush looked out the tractor’s window and laughed, steering the massive machine into the spot where most of the press corps had been positioned.”
31.Jan.2007 Bush Administration Has Pressured Half Of Gov’t Scientists To Downplay Global Warming - Amanda Comments 

A new report presented to the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee by the Union of Concerned Scientists and the Government Accountability Project shows 435 instances in which the Bush administration interfered into the global warming work of government scientists over the past five years. Some other findings of the survey:

– 46 percent of government scientists “personally experienced pressure to eliminate the words ‘climate change,’ ‘global warming,’ or other similar terms from a variety of communications.”

– 46 percent “perceived or personally experienced new or unusual administrative requirements that impair climate-related work.”

– 38 percent “perceived or personally experienced the disappearance or unusual delay of websites, reports, or other science-based materials relating to climate.”

– 25 percent “perceived or personally experienced situations in which scientists have actively objected to, resigned from, or removed themselves from a project because of pressure to change scientific findings.”

James Hansen, the government’s top global warming researcher, has also revealed that the Bush administration tried to prevent him from speaking freely about global warming to the media. In 2004, the administration also had a requirement that “NASA press officers listened in whenever NASA scientists spoke with reporters, either on the telephone or in person.”
31.Jan.2007 Senate Multimillionares Vote To Block Minimum Wage Hike - Nico Comments 

After repeated delays by conservatives, the Senate voted 87-10 today to end debate on legislation that will raise the minimum wage for the first time in a decade, from $5.15 to $7.25. The bill will move to a full vote in the next several days.

Ten right-wing senators stuck together and voted to further delay raising the minimum wage:

Sen. Richard Burr (R-NC)
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA)
Sen. Tom Coburn (R-OK)
Sen. Jim DeMint (R-SC)
Sen. John Ensign (R-NV)
Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH)
Sen. James Inhofe (R-OK)
Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA)
Sen. Jon Kyl (R-AZ)
Sen. David Vitter (R-LA)

As ThinkProgress detailed in a report last year, at least two of those 10 senators — Gregg and Isakson — are multimillionaires with a combined fortune of up to $35.5 million. Despite their enormous personal wealth, they refuse to grant even a small raise to the nearly 8 million Americans who live on $5.15 an hour: Sen. Judd Gregg (R-NH)

TOTAL HOLDINGS: Between $3,402,000 and $10,055,000

HIGHLIGHTS: In Oct. 2005, Gregg won $853,000 in the Powerball lottery. He owns between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 in Fleet Bank, as well as between $250,000 and $500,000 in Bristol Myers stock and between $50,000 and $100,000 in Exxon and Verizon stock.

KEY QUOTE: “If you start losing jobs because you raise minimum wage too quickly, too fast that small employers can’t afford it, that’s going to have an effect on peoples’ opportunity to work.” [Gregg, 6/21/06]
Sen. Johnny Isakson (R-GA)

TOTAL HOLDINGS: Between $7,631,000 and $25,515,000

HIGHLIGHTS: Isakson owns between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000 in both Wachovia and Riverside Bank stock. He also holds 12 acres of Georgia real estate valued between $1,000,000 and $5,000,000.

Cooper said he recently attended a dinner party at which Negroponte was speaking + “word slipped through the crowd he was not allowed to utter the words ‘global warming,’ at least not in the same sentence.

31.Jan.2007 McCain Flip Flops, Now Says He Would Not Consider Redeployment Under Any Scenario - Faiz Comments 

In a recent interview with The Politico, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) said that if his escalation strategy for Iraq fails, then he would consider redeployment:

“If this strategy doesn’t succeed, we will have to devise another strategy ,” McCain said. “But I have to hasten to add there are no good options.” One of those options, McCain said “is to withdraw to the borders (of Iraq) to try to keep other countries from interfering. Maintaining our bases in Kuwait and other places. There are a lot of scenarios.”

It didn’t take long for McCain to backtrack from redeployment. Last night, in an interview with ’s Anderson Cooper, McCain said under no scenario would he consider withdrawing troops, even if escalation fails. He said he would only consider it when “we have the situation under control.” Watch it:

In the interview, McCain also said Vice President Cheney was wrong to state that there have been enormous successes in Iraq. McCain claimed he has “bitterly disagreed” with the “failed strategy” for more than three years. In fact, here’s what he said approximately a year ago:

I think the situation on the ground is going to improve. I do think that progress is being made in a lot of Iraq. Overall, I think a year from now, we will have made a fair amount of progress if we stay the course. If I thought we weren’t making progress, I’d be despondent. Digg It!

31.Jan.2007 White House Stonewalling Release Of Climate Change Documents - Payson Comments 

Today, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee is holding a hearing to investigate “political interference in the work of government climate change scientists.” In the days leading up to the hearing, the committee requested documents from the White House Council on Environmental Quality “hoping to use them to underscore the suggestion that the administration has a habit of editing scientific reports to downplay the effects of global warming.” But according to CongressDaily, the White House is refusing to turn over the documents:

By presstime Monday, documents that were requested as recently as last week and as far back as six months ago had not been provided to the committee.

“Right now, the administration’s reaction doesn’t make a whole lot of sense,” Waxman’s chief of staff Phil Schiliro said Monday afternoon. “We’ve been trying to get information that we believe the committee should have for six months now. We don’t understand why it hasn’t been provided; this isn’t top secret information.”

A spokesman for Oversight and Government Reform ranking member Thomas Davis, R-Va., also sounded miffed about the difficulty in obtaining documents. “We’re still trying to get them and not happy about it,” the spokesman said.

Even without the documents, the hearing will be a strong indictment of the administration’s politicization of climate science.

The Union of Concerned Scientists and the Government Accountability Project said they would present “new evidence of suppression and manipulation of climate science” before the committee. Drew Shindell of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies will testify about a “now-defunct 2004 requirement that NASA press officers listened in whenever NASA scientists spoke with reporters, either on the telephone or in person.” Rick Piltz, who resigned in 2005 from the U.S. Climate Change Science Program will speak about White House interference with climate change reports and “questionable reviews of scientific research.”
31.Jan.2007 Protestor Demands Probe Of White House Over Katrina, Lieberman Responds He Won’t ‘Play Gotcha Anymore’ - Faiz Comments 

Yesterday, the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee, chaired by Sen. Joseph Lieberman (I-CT), held a field hearing in New Orleans to discuss the “red tape and bureaucracy hindering Louisiana’s economic recovery from hurricanes Katrina and Rita.” At the outset of the hearing, a protestor called for investigating the White House. Here’s how described the scene:

Susan Roesgen, Correspondent: A protester, a well-dressed young man — he was wearing a white dress shirt and a tie. No one suspected anything was amiss. He stood up. He was holding a hand-lettered piece of cloth that said, “Probe the White House.”

He was shouting, shouting at the senators, as you see here. … But what this person was protesting was he said that Senator Lieberman needs to do more and should do more to lead a federal investigation of the White House response to Hurricane Katrina similar to the 9/11 Commission hearings. He said that has not been done, he wants that to be done.

There are still key questions left unanswered about the administration’s disaster response. Former FEMA chief Michael Brown said that in a still-secret videoconference shortly after Katrina hit New Orleans, he warned presidential aides that 90 percent of the city was being “displaced,” but was greeted with “deafening silence.” Brown also suggested “party politics played a role” in White House reactions to the aftermath of Katrina.

When he was running for re-election, Lieberman pledged to investigate the White House’s conduct in the aftermath of Katrina. But, Newsweek recently reported:

Sen. Joe Lieberman, the only Democrat to endorse President Bush’s new plan for Iraq, has quietly backed away from his pre-election demands that the White House turn over potentially embarrassing documents relating to its handling of the Hurricane Katrina disaster in New Orleans.

Lieberman said he was not interested in “looking back + assigning blame would be a waste of Congress’ time.” Responding to yesterday’s protestor, Lieberman said, “We don’t want to play ‘gotcha’ anymore.”
30.Jan.2007 January 30, 2007 - Think Progress Comments 

The Army and Marine Corps “are short thousands of vehicles, armor kits and other equipment needed to supply” the extra 21,500 troops President Bush plans to send to Iraq. “It’s inevitable that that has to happen, unless five brigades of up-armored Humvees fall out of the sky,” one senior Army official said.

Simulations of civil war in Iraq carried out by the Brookings Institution found that, “as the descent into civil war gathered pace, confrontation between the US and Iran intensified + Washington’s leverage on Tehran diminished. Civil war in Iraq would turn Iran into ‘the unambiguous adversary’ of the US.”

Testimony from former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer yesterday showed he knew only “what the truly powerful chose to tell him, and sometimes that was not much. On occasion he would pronounce with great authority the administration’s position on a topic only to find it had changed and nobody had bothered to let him know.”

Two private advocacy groups say they have “new evidence of suppression and manipulation” of climate scientists “in seven federal agencies to downplay the threat of global warming .”

The House has reconstituted “the Oversight and Investigations subcommittee of the Armed Services Committee” after “more than a decade of dormancy.” The subcommittee “will delve into the details of Iraq-related reconstruction contracts, troop readiness, equipment priorities and Iraq war strategy — looking for waste, fraud and shortfalls.” (more…)
31.Jan.2007 Bush ignores thousands of Americans. - Amanda Comments 

I don’t think he really thought a lot about it,” said White House Press Secretary Tony Snow today when asked about President Bush’s reaction to the weekend’s march on Washington. Approximately 100,000 people from around the country converged on the National Mall on Saturday to protest Bush’s escalation in Iraq. Nearly 70 percent of the American public opposes President Bush’s plan to send more U.S. troops to Iraq.
31.Jan.2007 Report: New Bush order greatly expands powers. - Nico Comments 

A Drudge preview: “NYT: Bush executive order gives president much greater control over rules to regulate public health, safety, environment, civil rights, privacy, other issues…”

UPDATE: NYT:

In an executive order published last week in the Federal Register, Mr. Bush said that each agency must have a regulatory policy office run by a political appointee, to supervise the development of rules and documents providing guidance to regulated industries. The White House will thus have a gatekeeper in each agency to analyze the costs and the benefits of new rules and to make sure the agencies carry out the president’s priorities.

This strengthens the hand of the White House in shaping rules that have, in the past, often been generated by civil servants and scientific experts. It suggests that the administration still has ways to exert its power after the takeover of Congress by the Democrats.

13% of Americans have never heard of global warming, - Nico Comments 

even though their country is the world’s top source of greenhouse gases, a 46-country survey showed on Monday. Some 57 percent of people around the world considered global warming a “very serious problem” and a further 34 percent rated it a “serious problem.” People in Latin America “were most worried while U.S. citizens were least concerned with just 42 percent rating global warming ‘very serious.’”

31.Jan.2007 John Bolton: ‘U.S. Has No Strategic Interest’ In A United Iraq - Faiz Comments 

While he was acting Ambassador to the U.N., John Bolton repeatedly said he was in favor of a “unified” Iraq:

“The United States remains committed to a unified, democratic and prosperous Iraq and looks forward to the continued cooperation of the international community for Iraq’s future.” [11/28/06]

“The unanimous adoption of this resolution is a vivid demonstration of broad international support for a ‘ federal, democratic, pluralist and unified Iraq .’” [11/8/05]

Apparently, Bolton never really meant what he said. In a recent interview, Bolton said it’s not in the U.S.’s “strategic interest” for there to be a unified Iraq:

“ The United States has no strategic interest in the fact that there’s one Iraq, or three Iraqs ,” he was quoted as saying in the French daily Le Monde. “We have a strategic interest in the fact of ensuring that what emerges is not a state in complete collapse, which could become a refuge for terrorists or a terrorist state.”

The comments by Bolton marked the second time in less than a week that Bolton had contradicted Bush administration policy. Last week, he said the United States may not be able to stop Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons because of a flawed diplomatic strategy. Bolton’s comments are a stark reminder of why he was unfit for the U.N. International diplomats could never determine what was his real agenda.
31.Jan.2007 Swift Boat Leader Hired To Run Right-Wing ‘Online Community’ - Amanda Comments 

Yesterday, Washington Post columnist Robert Novak reported that TheVanguard.org, a new right-wing advocacy group, has hired Jerome Corsi as a senior political strategist.

Vanguard describes itself as an “online community of Americans who believe in conservative values,” and Novak claims it is a “right-wing version of the leftist MoveOn.Org.”

By hiring Corsi, Vanguard has made it clear that it intends to hit below the belt and be more than just an “online community.” Corsi coordinated the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth attacks against Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) + plans to use Vanguard to “similarly undermine Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton” for her progressive policy stances. Media Matters has documented Corsi’s posts on the right-wing Free Republic site. Some excerpts:

On Islam: “a worthless, dangerous Satanic religion”

On Catholicism: “Boy buggering in both Islam and Catholicism is okay with the Pope as long as it isn’t reported by the liberal press”

On Muslims: “RAGHEADS are Boy-Bumpers as clearly as they are Women-Haters — it all goes together”

On “John F*ing Commie Kerry”: “After he married TerRAHsa, didn’t John Kerry begin practicing Judiasm? He also has paternal grandparents that were Jewish. What religion is John Kerry?”

On Senator “FAT HOG” Clinton: “Anybody ask why HELLary couldn’t keep BJ Bill satisfied? Not lesbo or anything, is she?”

Corsi was also accused of (and later admitted to) plagiarizing the work of conservative commentator Debbie Schlussel. Digg It!
31.Jan.2007 Bush: Cheney Is A ‘Half-Glass-Full’ Kinda Guy - Amanda Comments 

Last week, Vice President Cheney said that the United States has “had enormous successes and we will continue to have enormous successes” in Iraq. This claim contradicted President Bush’s speech two weeks ago, where he said the “situation in Iraq is unacceptable to the American people — and it is unacceptable to me.”

Today on NPR, senior correspondent Juan Williams asked Bush whether there’s a “conflicting message” between Bush and Cheney. Bush brushed him off, saying that Cheney is a “person reflecting a half-glass-full mentality.” (We’re assuming he meant “glass half full.”) Listen here:

CLICK HERE TO LISTEN TO BUSH

Here are some recent examples of Cheney’s “half-glass-full” views of Iraq:

“I think we have made significant progress .” [1/27/07]

“If you look at what’s transpired in Iraq, Chris, we’ve made enormous progress .” [1/14/07]

Before the war, this mentality also led the Vice President to predict that the United States would be “greeted as liberators” in Iraq.

31.Jan.2007 Fleischer: Libby discussed CIA official over lunch. - Nico Comments 

“Former White House press secretary Ari Fleischer testified Monday that then-colleague I. Lewis ‘Scooter’ Libby told him over lunch that the wife of a prominent war critic worked at the CIA,” the AP reports. “Fleischer said the conversation happened July 7, 2003, days before Libby told investigators he was surprised to learn about the CIA operative from a reporter. That discrepancy is at the heart of Libby’s perjury and obstruction trial.”

31.Jan.2007 Hadley Falsely Claims Iraq Study Group Supports Escalation Strategy - Payson Comments 

In an op-ed in today’s Washington Post, National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley claims the administration’s escalation plan simply follows the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group:

The Baker-Hamilton report supports this conclusion. It said: “We could, however, support a short-term redeployment or surge of American combat forces to stabilize Baghdad . . . if the U.S. commander in Iraq determines that such steps would be effective.” Our military commanders + the president, have determined just that.

Tony Snow unveiled the new talking point earlier this month:

What we have done — if you take a look at page 73, where it talks about building capabilities, putting Iraqis in the lead + there was even some talk about “a surge,” that’s in there .

The Iraq Study Group did say a “short-term redeployment” of more troops into Baghdad could be part of a larger military, economic + diplomatic plan. But both American Enterprise Institute’s Fred Kagan — the architect of the escalation plan — and Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno — the new U.S. ground commander in Iraq — have said the escalation could last anywhere between 18 months and 3 years. That’s hardly “short-term.”

Moreover, the Iraq Study Group report specifically argued against sending more troops to Iraq:

Sustained increases in U.S. troop levels would not solve the fundamental cause of violence in Iraq, which is the absence of national reconciliation. A senior American general told us that adding U.S. troops might temporarily help limit violence in a highly localized area. However, past experience indicates that the violence would simply rekindle as soon as U.S. forces are moved to another area. As another American general told us, if the Iraqi government does not make political progress, “all the troops in the world will not provide security.”

The Iraq Study Group’s co-chair Lee Hamilton recently spoke out against the plan. “You delay the date of completion of the training mission,” Hamilton said. “You delay the date of handing responsibility to the Iraqis. You delay the date of departure of U.S. troops.”

31.Jan.2007 Water From Wind - kdawson 321 - ghostcorps recommends a writeup in The Australian by columnist Phillip Adams about a new windmill design that extracts water from air.

The article gives few details of how it works, because patent protection is not yet in place, but what is revealed sounds promising. "[Max] Whisson's design has many blades, each as aerodynamic as an aircraft wing + each employing 'lift' to get the device spinning... They don't face into the wind like a conventional windmill; they're arranged vertically, within an elegant column + take the wind from any direction... The secret of Max's design is how his windmills, whirring away in the merest hint of a wind, cool the air as it passes by... With three or four of Max's magical machines on hills at our farm we could fill the tanks and troughs + weather the drought. One small Whisson windmill on the roof of a suburban house could keep your taps flowing. Biggies on office buildings, whoppers on skyscrapers, could give independence from the city's water supply. And plonk a few hundred in marginal outback land — specifically to water tree-lots — and you could start to improve local rainfall."

'Full-Pipe' FBI Internet Monitoring Questionably Legal - Zonk 187 -
CNet is running a piece looking at what they refer to as a 'questionably legal' internet surveillance technique being employed by the FBI. In situations where isolating a specific IP address for a suspect is not possible, the FBI has taken to 'full-pipe' surveillance: all activity for a bank of IPs is recorded + then data mining is used to attempt to isolate their target. The questionable legality of this situation results from a requirement that, under federal law, the FBI is required to use 'minimization'. The article describes it this way: "Federal law says that agents must 'minimize the interception of communications not otherwise subject to interception' and keep the supervising judge informed of what's happening. Minimization is designed to provide at least a modicum of privacy by limiting police eavesdropping on innocuous conversations." Full-pipe surveillance would seem to abandon that principle in favor of getting to the target faster.

Restrictions On Social Sites Proposed In Georgia - twitter (posted by kdawson) 176+ -

A state senator in Georgia, Cecil Staton, has introduced a bill that would require parents' permission before kids could sign up at a social networking site such as MySpace and Facebook + mandate that the sites let parents see all material their kids generate there. Quoting: "[Senate Bill 59] would make it illegal for the owner or operator of a social networking Web site to allow minors to create or maintain a Web page without parental permission [and require] parents or guardians to have access to their children's Web pages at all times. If owners or operators of a company failed to comply with the proposed law, they would be guilty of a misdemeanor on the first offense. A second offense would be a felony and could lead to imprisonment for between one and five years and a fine up to $50,000 or both." The recently offered MySpace parental tools fall short of the bill's requirements. This coverage from the Athens Banner-Herald quotes Facebook's CPO saying that federal law forbids the company to allow anyone but the account creator to access it..

In anderen Ländern hingegen ist man schon weiter. In den USA zum Beispiel hat der private Justizvollzug ein Volumen von vier Milliarden Dollar. In Großbritannien ist knapp ein Fünftel der Gefängnisse privatisiert.

Einer der großen Player ist auch hier das Unternehmen Serco. Zur Produktpalette des Dienstleisters gehören nicht nur Gefängnisse: Elektronische Fußfesseln hat Serco ebenfalls im Angebot. So weit ist es in Deutschland zwar noch nicht, aber erste Versuche sind schon gestartet. Vorreiter auch hier: das Land Hessen.

Über 25 Jahre läuft der Vertrag - die übliche Laufzeit für große Investitionsprojekte. Im Bieterwettstreit um den lukrativen Auftrag drückten die Konkurrenten den Preis soweit herunter, dass Sachsen-Anhalt jetzt sogar an 15 Prozent Kostenersparnis denkt, ursprünglich rechnete man nur mit acht Prozent.

Das zumindest schließt der US-Biologe Phil Senter aus einem Versuch mit einem nachgebauten Bambiraptor-Skelett, mit dem er testete, wie sich die Arm- und Fingerknochen bewegen ließen. Sollte sich die Vermutung des Wissenschaftlers bestätigen, hätten die Saurier - nach heutigem Wissen die Vorfahren der heute lebenden Vögel - die Greiffunktion Millionen Jahre vor den Primaten entwickelt, die bislang als evolutionäre Erfinder dieser Fähigkeit galten.

Senter, der am Lamar State College im texanischen Orange arbeitet, will mit seinen Versuchen herausgefunden haben, dass der Bambiraptor feinbergi seine Beute mit beiden Armen festhalten oder einen seiner langen Arme nutzen konnte, um Futter an sein Maul zu führen. Zusätzlich sei der kleine Fleischfresser, der nur etwa 35 Zentimeter hoch und einen Meter lang wurde, auch in der Lage gewesen, die Spitzen der äußeren beiden seiner drei Finger zusammenzuführen - ähnlich wie ein Mensch mit der Daumenspitze die Spitze des Mittelfingers berühren kann. Eine solche Fähigkeit ist nach Senters Angaben bisher bei keinem anderen Dinosaurier gefunden worden, berichtete das Wissenschaftsmagazin "New Scientist".

Allerdings dürfte sich eine Festnahme der Verdächtigen schwierig gestalten, da der deutsche Haftbefehl in den USA keine Gültigkeit hat und die amerikanische Justiz es bislang ablehnt, den deutschen Ermittlern zu helfen.

Bei den 13 Personen handelt es sich nach Angaben aus Justizkreisen um die Piloten der Maschine, mit der Masri entführt worden ist sowie um einen Arzt und Mitglieder des Kommandos, das an der Entführung beteiligt war. Ob es sich um offizielle Mitarbeiter des US-Geheimdienstes oder um eine von der CIA beauftragte Firma handelt, war zunächst noch unklar.

Courage is in short supply in Washington, D.C. The realities of the Iraq War cry out for the overthrow of a government that is criminally responsible for death, mutilation, torture, humiliation, chaos.

"With Microsoft's Vista set to hit stores tomorrow, Michael Geist's weekly Law Bytes column (Toronto Star version, homepage version) looks at the legal and technical fine print behind the operating system upgrade.

?Congress holds the power of the purse and if the President continues to advance his failed Iraq policy, we have the responsibility to use that power to safely redeploy our troops from Iraq,? Russ Feingold said. ?This hearing will help inform my colleagues and the public about Congress?s power to end a war and how that power has been used in the past. I will soon be introducing legislation to use the power of the purse to end what is clearly one of the greatest mistakes in the history of our nation?s foreign policy.?

Und über Rechenmodelle zur Vorhersage der globalen Klimaveränderungen verfügen Forscher bereits seit Jahren. Eines davon, das sogenannte Echam5-Modell (ebenfalls vom Hamburger MPI), diente der Wettreg-Studie als Grundlage.

Deutschland droht demnach bis zum Jahr 2100 ein merklicher Temperaturanstieg. Im Vergleich zum Zeitraum von 1961 bis 1990 müsse von einer Erhöhung der Tagesmittelwerte zwischen 1,8 und 2,3 Grad Celsius ausgegangen werden, so die Behörde. Die stärkste absolute Erwärmung könnte es in Norddeutschland abseits der Küsten sowie in den Voralpen geben.

Der "Wettreg" genannten Studie zufolge nehmen die Niederschläge von 2071 an deutschlandweit um 17 bis 22 Prozent ab, im ohnehin schon trockenen norddeutschen Tiefland gar um bis zu 50 Prozent. Für die Winter in den Gebirgsregionen werden hingegen deutlich höhere Niederschläge erwartet.

Eifel und Hunsrück, jene Mittelgebirge zwischen denen die Mosel Richtung Rhein fließt, steht eine Zukunft mit Regen bevor. Mit viel Regen. Es wird dort im Zeitraum zwischen 2071 und 2100 auch deutlich wärmer sein als gegenwärtig. Nicht überall gehen warm und feucht einher: Die möglichen Auswirkungen des Klimawandels unterscheiden sich in den unterschiedlichen deutschen Landschaften zum Teil drastisch.

Er spricht von einem "Megacryometeor", von einem großen Eismeteoriten also. Gigantisches Hagelkorn wäre als Bezeichnung jedoch angebrachter. Erst seit einigen Jahren wird dieses Phänomen erforscht, nachdem im Jahr 2000 in Spanien große Eisklumpen vom Himmel gefallen waren. Der Begriff Megacryometeor geht auf Jesus Martinez-Frias vom Center for Astrobiology der Universität Madrid zurück. Seine Theorie: In hohen Atmosphärenschichten bilden sich unter ungewöhnlichen Bedingungen die Rieseneiskörner - wie genau ist allerdings unbekannt.

Im "Journal of Atmospheric Chemistry" hatten Martinez-Frias und Travis im Herbst 2005 erstmals beschrieben, welche speziellen Isotope in die Hagel- Giganten eingefroren sind - ein erster Schritt zur Identifikation und Untersuchung.

29.Jan.2007 The New York Times leads an interview with Iran's ambassador in Baghdad, who said, not surprisingly, that his country is is planning to extend its activities in Iraq. The ambassador, Hassan Kazemi Qumi, said Iran is prepared to offer help with military training + emphasized the strong economic ties between both countries by stating that Iran will open a bank in Baghdad. USA Today leads with word from the Army Corps of Engineers that it has discovered 146 levees across the country are at risk of failing if there is a major flood. If local officials fail to repair the levees, it could mean property owners would have to buy flood insurance to protect their property.

Earlier this month, the Bush administration announced it was submitted its warrantless domestic spying program to the FISA court for its review. The move was judged by the media to be a “major change,” an “about-face,” and a “sharp reversal.”

But details of the administration’s actions have remained “sketchy,” and Attorney General Alberto Gonzales offered few clarifying explanations in a recent Senate Judiciary Committee hearing. Bush has said, “Nothing has changed in the program except the court has said we’ve analyzed it and it’s a legitimate way to protect the country.”

In an interview this weekend, Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman John Rockefeller (D-WV) said he believes the administration is trying to hide something. He added, “[The administration’s action] is not acceptable to me…simply because I can’t trust what they say.” Rockefeller explained, “In the end, every single wiretap has to have a warrant. No, I don’t trust what they’re doing.” Watch it: Transcript: (more…)
29.Jan.2007 Oil And Gas Companies Ready Drilling Projects For Newly Melted Arctic - Nico Comments 

Global warming caused by fossil fuel emissions is rapidly melting the Arctic. Sea ice coverage this past March “was the lowest in winter since measurements by satellite began in the early 1970s,” and NASA-funded U.S. scientists believe in 30-50 years, “summer sea ice will have vanished from almost the entire Arctic region,” conditions not seen in the area in a million years.

For energy companies, this catastrophe means a “new era of oil and natural gas exploration in the region,” Greenwire reports:

The Arctic region contains a quarter of the world’s remaining oil reserves, experts estimate. It also contains massive natural gas fields in the Barents Sea, including Russia’s huge Shtokman field. “By 2040 or 2050, the Arctic Ocean will be navigable and that will mean significant developments very soon,” said ArcticNet research group head Martin Fortier.

European Environment Agency head Jacqueline McGlade warned that “the region’s opening could lead to another rush like the Klondike gold rush, which ‘could potentially destabilize’ the area and its 10 million indigenous inhabitants.”

President Bush’s “proposal to create a tax deduction for health insurance, if enacted into law, could reduce Social Security benefits for many Americans because the deduction would apply not only to income taxes, but also to payroll taxes that go to Social Security.”

A recent trip to Iraq has made House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) “even more certain of her view that moving troops out of Iraq is the best way to bring stability to the region .” After meeting the past three days with scores of U.S. military commanders and regional political leaders, she said, “I believe redeployment of our troops is a step toward stability in the region.”

Sen. Joseph Biden (D-DE) had planned to sit down over the weekend with Sen. John Warner (R-VA) and hammer out a consensus, bipartisan resolution opposing Bush’s escalation in Iraq. “But Warner, who has been making backroom deals for 28 years in the Senate, informed Biden late on Thursday: No deal.”

of course allowing the Dems to "take back the house and senate" was just a way for the ReThugs to save money on not having to steal elections because Cheney had already planned out the Iran attack early last year. This way they could continue to keep plotting away, "business as usual", and as long as those dastardly "military commissions act" was signed and the Patriot Act was reauthorized, this gives Cheney all the "rights" to take control of this country as a dictatorship. Bush is truly just a figurehead along for the ride, perfect for photo ops while Cheney is the true decider and commander in chief.
some nasty things will happen in March/April and of course the US is goading Iran into war so the neocons/Cheney can make the call to declare martial law in this country.
Who cares about who runs for 2008 when the elections don't matter anyway? https://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=6604414&postID=117001325581533431
America ‘poised to strike at Iran’s nuclear sites’ from bases in Bulgaria and Romania
Report suggest that ‘US defensive ring’ may be new front in war on terror.
By Gabriel Ronay
PRESIDENT BUSH is preparing to attackIran'snuclearfacilities before the end of April and the US Air Force's new bases in Bulgaria and Romania would be used as back-up in the onslaught, according to an official report from Sofia.
"American forces could be using their two USAF bases in Bulgaria and one at Romania's Black Sea coast to launch an attack on Iran in April," the Bulgarian news agency Novinite said.
TheAmericanbuild-upalongthe BlackSea,coupledwiththerecent positioningoftwoUSaircraftcarrier battle groups off the Straits of Hormuz, appears to indicate president Bush has run out of patience with Tehran's nuclear misrepresentation and non-compliance with the UN Security Council's resolution. President Ahmeninejad of Iran has further ratcheted up tension in the region by putting on show his newly purchased state of the art Russian TOR-Ml anti-missile defence system.

Whether the Bulgarian news report is a tactical feint or a strategic event is hard to gauge at this stage. But, in conjunctionwiththebeefingupofAmerica'sItalian bases and the acquisition of anti-missiledefencebasesintheCzech RepublicandPoland,theBalkan developments seem toindicateanewphase in Bush's global war on terror.
Sofia'snewsofadvancedwar preparationsalongtheBlackSeais backed up by some chilling details. One isthesettingupofnewrefuellingplaces for US Stealth bombers, which would spearhead an attack on Iran. "The USAF's positioning of vital refuelling facilities for its B-2 bombers in unusual places, includingBulgaria,fallswithinthe perspective of such an attack." NovinitenamedcolonelSam Gardiner, "a US secret service officer stationed in Bulgaria", as the source of this revelation.
Curiously,thereportnotedthat although Tony Blair, Bush's main ally in the global war on terror, would be leaving office, the president had opted to press on with his attack on Iran in April.
BeforetheendofMarch,3000US militarypersonnelarescheduledto arrive "on a rotating basis" at America's Bulgarian bases. Under the US-Bulgarian military co-operation accord, signed in April,2006,anairbaseatBezmer, a second airfield at Graf Ignitievo and a shooting range at Novo Selo were leased toAmerica.Significantly,lastyear'sbases negotiations had at one point run into difficulties due to Sofia's demand "for advance warning if Washington intends to use Bulgarian soil for attacks against other nations, particularly Iran".
Romania, the other Black Sea host to theUSmilitary,isenjoyingadollarbonanzaasitsMihailKogalniceanu base at Constanta is being transformed into an American "place d'arme". It is alsovitaltotheIranscenario.
Lastweek,theBucharestdaily Evenimentual Zilei revealed the USAF is to site several flights of F-l5, F-l6 and Al0 aircraftattheKogalniceanubase.AdmiralGheorgheMarin,Romania's chief of staff, confirmed "up to 2000 Americanmilitarypersonnelwillbe temporarily stationed in Romania".
In Central Europe, the Czech Republic + Poland have also found themselves in the Pentagon's strategic focus. Last week, Mirek Topolanek, the Czech prime minister + the country's national security council agreed to the siting of a US anti-missile radar defence system at Nepolisy. Poland has also agreed to having a US anti-missile missilebase and interceptoraircraft stationedinthecountry.
Russia, however, does not see the chain of new US bases on its doorstep as a "defensive ring". Russia's defence chief has branded the planned US anti-missile missile sites on Czech and Polish soil as "an open threat to Russia".
SergeyIvanov,Russia'sdefence minister,spokemorecircumspectly while emphasising Moscow's concern. Hesaid:"Russiaisnotworried.Itsstrategicnuclearforcescanassureinanycircumstanceitssafety.Since neither Tehran,norPyongyangpossess intercontinentalmissilescapableof threatening the USA, from whom is this new missile shield supposed to protect the West? All it actually amounts to is that Prague and Warsaw want to demonstrate their loyalty to Washington."
Bush's Iran attack plan has brought into sharp focus the possible costs to Central and Eastern Europe of being "pillars of Pax Americana".

29.Jan.2007 https://www.cannonfire.blogspot.com/ Methinks that Bush's actual intent is to kill Iranians on Iraqi soil in the hope of provoking retaliation.

Why else would our Commander in Chief place so many ships within range of Iranian missiles? Permalink # posted by Joseph : 11:18 AM

The whole history of US relations with Gulbudin Hekmatyar goes back to US support for the mujaheddin fight against the Soviets beginning

in 1979 and escalated under Reagan-Bush, and needs to be made widely known to the American public.
The eminent scholar, Alfred McCoy, wrote in his most recently revised edition of his landmark book The Politics of Heroin: CIA Complicity in the Global Drug Trade (p. 475):

"The CIA ... over the next decade, gave more than half its covert aid to Hekmatyar's guerillas.

It was, as the U.S. Congress would find a decade later, a dismal decision.

Unlike the later resistance leaders, who commanded strong popular followings inside Afghanistan, Hekmatyar's guerilla force was a creature of the Pakistan military...."

McCoy's book also seems to paint a portrait of Hekmatyar as an opium/heroin trafficker as much as a fundamentalist Islamic political agent.
Former FBI translater/whistleblower Sibel Edmonds has indicated the large role of narcotics trafficking in play in our country's supposed "war on terror," +

the story of Mr. Hekmatyar just reinforces that view. # posted by ewastud
