Every crime now is immediately blamed on dissidents in this country, regardless of the truth. It's the Soviet way! Welcome to one-party rule.

NPR's use of the "there's been widespread speculation" is just as pathetic as Fox's "you know... some people are saying..." documented by OutFoxed.
As a long time fan of the NiPpeR network this kind of crap hits me hard.
What's left for reasonable people except to crawl inside a good book or a good bottle.
Or both.

speculation about eco-terrorism is fine, especially if it was roughly in proportion to law enforcement officials' emphasis on it, but that's quite different from what instahack did.

How about "There is some speculation that this arson was committed by ecoterrorists, but there is no evidence to support that view."
Mainstream news sources shouldn't be repeating unsubstantiated speculation with vague statements like "Some people say...."
Of course, NPR is hardly mainstream....

Burning empty real estate is not terrorism per se. It's only terrorism when people die. The term "eco-terrorist" is loaded.

The whole concept of eco-terrorism is a sham. How does one terrorize a building or a bulldozer? Terrorists target people - hard to build up terror otherwise.

ARSON! Thaaaat's what I meant to say. Arson's bad. And all arsonists are eco-terraists.
Yeah, arson. Fire. Heh heh. FIRE!

"Truth does not matter!"
Ought to be the motto of the Bushboy administration with the corollary, "Truth is what we say it is."
Iraq lies. Tax cut lies. Budget balancing lies. Environmental lies. "No child left behind," lie. Star Wars lie. Social Security lies.
Drug prescription subsidies for the elderly lies.
Will the dimwitted 51% of the electorate who put this lying fool back in office ever realize what they have done or will they stay in denial even after the house of Bushboy cards has collapsed?

From Instadickhead's cited article:
Everton Rowe, 37, an engineer with the State Department, said the four-bedroom, $450,000 home he planned to move into in January sustained some damage, but he did not know the extent. He said he saw environmental protesters picketing the subdivision late last year. If environmental protection was a motive in the crime, Rowe said, it would be a tragedy.
"If you're going to threaten people's lives to protect a forest or an animal, something is twisted in your head," said Rowe, the father of two young children. "This is going to put pain in my daughter's little heart. She's not going to want to stay here."
Say it with me: Awwwwwwww.

After the massive and deadly lies told by Bushboy in his first maladministration, any sane or sensible person must view this second act of Bushboy's with great trepidation.
How many more will die in Iraq? Will Bushboy start another war in Iran? How much higher can our deficits go before all foreign lenders bail?
51% of the American electorate was too stupid to realize they were voting themselves back into hell.

There's no balance to the media reporting on this property destruction. All the people who have sub-contracted their thinking to Fox see is the word terror connected to smoking SUV's and McMansions. No surprises here.

Bush sees Director of Homeland Security as a patronage job to give to a patently incompetent political crony for campaign services rendered rather than a position which requires a competent and ethical professional.

And we all know that one girl's "little heart" (sounds like a true Republican in the making) should trump the destruction of a protected environmental refuge.

Monsieur Simels,
I played solo and with a not-so-talented troupe, right here in NYC. We did improv, and I did smaller clubs, like that joint down on Carmine (I think it was called "Mostly Magic"?) and some club on E. 31st that's not there anymore.
I played a crowd once from Chatham, NJ. My sister and brother were in the audience, sitting behind a deuce of older women. When I delivered a particularly saucy punchline, they stared at each other and said, "And she looked so ... innocent!"
My sister spit out her beer.

Here's the prime suspect:
About two months ago, Speed went on a ride-along to a house fire in Prince George's County with the Clinton Volunteer Fire Department, according to Robert Small, the volunteer unit's chief. He said Speed inquired about joining the department and spent a day with the volunteers, responding to a fire in the Crestview Manor neighborhood of Clinton.
So we have another arsonist fireman wannabe? Great. Looks like it wasn't as fun as he thought it was, 'cause he didn't come back. Not enough playing with fire, I guess.
Also, his personality seems to be delaminating:
Kerns said Speed had a troubled life as a youngster, but she declined to elaborate, citing confidentiality rules.
Kern said Speed visited her in February. "He brought the [twins] to see me," Kern said. The boys were a month old at the time and "were beautiful," she said. "He seemed to be a good daddy and a very proud dad. I thought he was making it. I was really proud of him."
Two months later, one of the twins died. Kern said that she saw Speed again at Thanksgiving and that he made some odd statements. "He said he was with the Marines in Fallujah and had really been disturbed with what he had seen," Kern said. "That might not have been true."
Sounds like the guy had every reason to go off the deep end, and is already proving it to anyone who'll listen.
Funny, I still don't hear anything about tree-hugging, etc.

Aaarg! Nooooo!
Hollywood has joined the war. Universal Pictures announced yesterday that it is to make The Battle for Falluja. To prove it is serious, it has enlisted Indiana Jones himself, actor Harrison Ford, to help defeat the insurgency.
The film - Hollywood's first foray into the second Iraq conflict - is due to go into production next year and will be based on a yet-to-be-finished book, No True Glory: The Battle for Falluja by Bing West, a former marine, politician and now war correspondent.
The movie and book take as their starting point the killing of four civilian contractors in Falluja and the ensuing decision to order an assault on the city by US marines. That first assault, which was abruptly stopped by the White House, was led by General Jim Mattis, who will be played by Ford.

Thanks, Atrios, for posting that. From day one, the "ecoterrorism" story in ALL the major news outlets was skewed. Consider that they first associated the discontent over the subdivision with the Sierra Club, and then dropped the "ecoterrorism" word as though the SC were associated with that sort of thing!
"Ecoterrorism" is definitely the wrong word to use for this sort of activity. It's not 9-11 or a pizzeria in Israel when SUVs get lit on fire without anyone in them. It should be called direct-action vandalism or something to that effect.
Sadly, I doubt that the news media and right-wing bloggers will be making as much of a story about the arsonist using the "ecoterrorism" hysteria to his advantage (by diverting attention from himself) as they did on the original "the Sierra Club opposed the building of this subdivision" crap they tried to feed us.

Mom, Dad, I have some bad news:
I crashed the car.
It wasn't my fault! I was driving down the street and some &*#$@ turned right in front of me, and I didn't have time to stop.
So now the insurance co. is calling it a total loss, so I need a new car. I was thinking about getting something along the lines of a Honda Civic. Any advice?
Anyone?

puppethead sez:..."Every crime now is immediately blamed on dissidents in this country,..."
Ever notice that republican are always on the lookout for a scapgoat to blame for whatever happens?
Nothing happens by accident...its all a plot! They Are Out To Get Us! They Are Jealous of Our Success! They have a ton of catchy phrases to use for whatever purpose to distract attention or divert inquiry away from the truth.
In short, Republians seem to have a need/desire to hate someone or something. The big red-Scare came out of the early 50's when the Congress and Executive branches were both run by Republicans. I now appreciate Eisenhowser's remark ..." beware the military industrial complex...". It was being fueled by the republicans need to have a bad guy to focus their hatred.

Mom, Dad, I have some bad news:
I crashed the car.
It wasn't my fault! I was driving down the street and some &*#$@ turned right in front of me, and I didn't have time to stop.
So now the insurance co. is calling it a total loss, so I need a new car. I was thinking about getting something along the lines of a Honda Civic. Any advice?
Anyone?

puppethead sez:..."Every crime now is immediately blamed on dissidents in this country,..."
Ever notice that republican are always on the lookout for a scapgoat to blame for whatever happens?

Shooting Allegedly Staged to Avoid Returning to Iraq
Philadelphia police say a soldier whose unit has been ordered back to the war had his wife's cousin wound him in the leg as part of the scheme.

PHILADELPHIA — A U.S. Army combat veteran on leave from a unit headed back to Iraq arranged for a friend to shoot him in the leg in an attempt to avoid returning to the war zone, Philadelphia police said Thursday.
Spc. Marquise Roberts, 23, told police he had been shot Tuesday afternoon as he walked past two men arguing on a North Philadelphia street. But police said their investigation found that Roberts actually was shot once in the leg by a friend as part of a scheme to avoid returning to Iraq.
Roberts, who served seven months in Iraq during the U.S. invasion in 2003, was due to report back to Ft. Stewart, Ga., on Wednesday, police said. He is a supply specialist with the Army's 3rd Infantry Division (Mechanized), according to commanders at Ft. Stewart. They said Roberts, who has been in the Army since 2001, was on a two-week holiday leave to his home in Philadelphia.
The division, which helped topple the Saddam Hussein regime in Baghdad in April 2003, has been ordered to begin heading back to Iraq next month. Roberts had returned from Iraq in midsummer 2003.

However, on the flipside, I had some adult stuff (consumable ~ necessity dictates that I'm cryptic, but I'll use Backslider as a clue) hidden in a box in my closet for special occasions. I didn't think anyone would ever be able to find it ~ it was packed away under scarves and belts. My daughter was snooping around for her birthday present and locates my secret box. So she asks me about it.
I was mortified. Luckily, she was too young to make the connection.

OT, but interesting interview with San Jose Mercury-News tech columnist Dan Gilmor, who's chucking his day job to explore a venture of what he terms "citizen-journalism."
Apparently, one of the catalysts for his decision was piss-poor election reporting (though in general, he's favorable towards his former paymasters)...

From day one, the "ecoterrorism" story in ALL the major news outlets was skewed.
The media just loves catchy phrases. Doesn't matter if they're accurate, so long as they sell papers.

"Americans have made a fetish out of their version of the Holocaust, all in the interests of selling arms and protecting the oil supply (why do you think a Holocaust-themed movie wins a major Academy Award every year?). Of course, the flip side to the American abuse of the Holocaust is that the Zionists use the idea of 'never again' to justify the unspeakable horrors inflicted by the state terrorism of Israel on Palestinian civilians, all on the justification that the Palestinian resistance to such state terrorism represents the Palestinian desire to push the Jewish people 'into the sea'

Folks, and Atrios :
You will undoubtedly remember the Kerik Story both here and over at TPM about Kerik in Baghdad. He had little interest in training the Iraqi army but rather was more interested in running night time raids against ' bad guys' with gangs of South African Mercenaries...
So, are there any legal penalties for running homicide vacations in the middle east ?
Rules of engagement would seem to dis-allow the practice of midnight "bootleg' militarism , and so long as the US presence in Iraq is under the US military law, and it is , even Kerik’s evening stealth game might be a tad illegal . If it isn’t, I am amazed the Bushites haven't arranged for Human Hunting Vacation Packages advertised in Soldier of Fortune...
What rules govern private non-army members doing amateur hit-and-runs in nations under the US military boot?I know it is in keeping with the American tradition of hiring scalp hunters ( Nicaragua, Honduras, you name it ...) to help press objectives usually too icky for main-force army units, but I should think Kerik a tad too far up the celebrity ladder for this to be expected of him ...
...and what would the obituary have read had he not been so skilled and making it back alive
"Ex-Police Commish found in Balaklava on Baghdad Street- Rage over 911 drives Patriot to Desperate Personal Involvement in War on Terror"

Yes, but if the mercenary assassination squads are being used to compel the "march to freedom," then what's not to like?
They should all be drawn and quartered. Like butter.

BWAHAHAAA i just saw the thing blaming eco-terrorists for the fires in Indian Head..
Trust me, I know the guy who did it, my brother and I used to party with him. No eco-terrorists involved at all. Just this stoner kid (worked for the security company guarding the property), and maybe a couple of his friends.
When you get a call from the ATF and the FBI wanting to interview you about shit... well it's disconcerting to say the least.

I, uh, live in the neighborhood where the Mountain Preserve Arsonist lived (the one you might have heard about, about 3 years ago). He ran around torching homes that were built on the fringes of neighborhoods that bumped up against open desert that was part of city or state or fed park land or preserves. Mind you, none of the homes were actually built ON park land, just right next to it.
He claimed to be a group of 4 radical eco-activists (and mountain bikers) but he turned out to be just one unemployed troubled desperate white-collar middle-aged middle-class guy trying to salvage something of his ego. And he actually owned a home that was in a neighborhood (ours) that, uh, bumps right up against a very large tract of desert that's a city park.
Not sure what the point of this story is... maybe that we should start getting tough with those terrible unemployed white-collar middle-class eco-terrorists...

"I have a daughter at home. Her name is Wynter," said Ms. Jaques, sitting a few feet from President Bush at the White House economic conference on Thursday. "I want to make sure that she has Social Security when she retires as well."
Mr. Bush chimed in a moment later. "One of my visions of personal savings accounts is that Sandy will be able to pass her account on to Wynter as part of Wynter's capacity to retire as well."
The exchange was an example of how Mr. Bush promotes his agenda with testimonials from "regular folks," in the words of Joshua B. Bolten, the White House budget director, who introduced Ms. Jaques.
But Ms. Jaques is not any random single mother. She is the Iowa state director of a conservative advocacy group, FreedomWorks, whose founders are Jack F. Kemp, the former vice-presidential nominee, and Dick Armey, the former House Republican leader.

George Johnston: The whole concept of eco-terrorism is a sham. How does one terrorize a building or a bulldozer? Terrorists target people - hard to build up terror otherwise.
You don't know how terrified those houses were. See, all the fetal-Americans' souls are actually stored in the sites of newly-built or partially-built homes that have a value of $375K or more. That's because when you're only made up of a few cells, there's no room for the soul yet.

How can someone be a guest character on "Lost"? Is "Lost" like the old "Gilligan's Island" where the guest stars always sneak off the night before the whole group is about to depart the island. Remember when the fake British group the Mosquitos were on and the Professor, Skipper, Mr Howell and Gilligan all dressed up in mop top wigs and performed a song better than the Mosquitos. Yea that was a good one.

Via Seamus, this email is a thank you from a Marine Gunnery Sergeant in Iraq. It was sent two days ago:
Just wanted to write to you and tell you another story about an experience we had over here.
As you know, I asked for toys for the Iraqi children over here and several people (Americans that support us) sent them over by the box. On each patrol we take through the city, we take as many toys as will fit in our pockets and hand them out as we can. The kids take the toys and run to show them off as if they were worth a million bucks. We are as friendly as we can be to everyone we see, but especially so with the kids. Most of them don't have any idea what is going on and are completely innocent in all of this.
On one such patrol, our lead security vehicle stopped in the middle of the street. This is not normal and is very unsafe, so the following vehicles began to inquire over the radio. The lead vehicle reported a little girl sitting in the road and said she just would not budge. The command vehicle told the lead to simply go around her and to be kind as they did. The street was wide enough to allow this maneuver and so they waved to her as they drove around.
As the vehicles went around her, I soon saw her sitting there and in her arms she was clutching a little bear that we had handed her a few patrols back. Feeling an immediate connection to the girl, I radioed that we were going to stop. The rest of the convoy paused and I got out the make sure she was OK. The little girl looked scared and concerned, but there was a warmth in her eyes toward me. As I knelt down to talk to her, she moved over and pointed to a mine in the road.
Immediately a cordon was set as the Marine convoy assumed a defensive posture around the site. The mine was destroyed in place.
It was the heart of an American that sent that toy. It was the heart of an American that gave that toy to that little girl. It was the heart of an American that protected that convoy from that mine. Sure, she was a little Iraqi girl and she had no knowledge of purple mountain's majesty or fruited plains. It was a heart of acceptance, of tolerance, of peace and grace, even through the inconveniences of conflict that saved that convoy from hitting that mine. Those attributes are what keep Americans hearts beating. She may have no affiliation at all with the United States, but she knows what it is to be brave and if we can continue to support her and her new government, she will know what it is to be free. Isn't that what Americans are, the free and the brave?
If you sent over a toy or a Marine (US Service member) you took part in this. You are a reason that Iraq has to believe in a better future. Thank you so much for supporting us and for supporting our cause over here.
Semper Fi,
Mark

On one such patrol, our lead security vehicle stopped in the middle of the street. This is not normal and is very unsafe, so the following vehicles began to inquire over the radio. The lead vehicle reported a little girl sitting in the road and said she just would not budge. The command vehicle told the lead to simply go around her and to be kind as they did. The street was wide enough to allow this maneuver and so they waved to her as they drove around.
As the vehicles went around her, I soon saw her sitting there and in her arms she was clutching a little bear that we had handed her a few patrols back. Feeling an immediate connection to the girl, I radioed that we were going to stop. The rest of the convoy paused and I got out the make sure she was OK. The little girl looked scared and concerned, but there was a warmth in her eyes toward me. As I knelt down to talk to her, she moved over and pointed to a mine in the road.
Immediately a cordon was set as the Marine convoy assumed a defensive posture around the site. The mine was destroyed in place.
It was the heart of an American that sent that toy. It was the heart of an American that gave that toy to that little girl. It was the heart of an American that protected that convoy from that mine. Sure, she was a little Iraqi girl and she had no knowledge of purple mountain's majesty or fruited plains. It was a heart of acceptance, of tolerance, of peace and grace, even through the inconveniences of conflict that saved that convoy from hitting that mine. Those attributes are what keep Americans hearts beating. She may have no affiliation at all with the United States, but she knows what it is to be brave and if we can continue to support her and her new government, she will know what it is to be free. Isn't that what Americans are, the free and the brave?
If you sent over a toy or a Marine (US Service member) you took part in this. You are a reason that Iraq has to believe in a better future. Thank you so much for supporting us and for supporting our cause over here.

You are so right. I've had a thing
for her since she was Mrs. Columbo.
Plus, if you've ever seen her interviewed,
she's one of the greatest flirts who
ever lived.

Do you remember her when she was Mary Ryan on Ryan's Hope?
God, I thought she was beautiful. What a great actress, even at a young age.
She does flirt mercilessly when she interviews ~ I love it!

The NG's prime recruiting pool is soldiers going off active duty. Apparently too many of these have had their fill of a stupid, illegal war of conquest and subsequent insurgency and want out before they give up a limb or their lives for the sake of Dick Cheney's bank account.

Speaking of silly media . . . I happened to catch one of our local news stations in Portland OR reporting on Iraq this last week; they said we were there to restore the peace. I found that perspective quite interesting given that we are basically responsible for there not being peace in Iraq.

Jackson To Throw Children's Party at Neverland
Michael Jackson is opening the gates of his Neverland Ranch - the place where he is accused of molesting a young boy - to dozens of children for a holiday party today. Representatives for the 46-year-old singer say he's invited groups of children to enjoy a day at the California ranch in what has become an annual tradition over the holiday season. It is not clear whether Jackson will be attending the party himself. The superstar is free on bail ahead of his trial scheduled for late January on a 10-count indictment of child molestation.(snip)

it appears that NPR was reporting that there was "widespread speculation" that it was the work of ecoterrorists. That is true. And that is legitimate to report.
when the OKC bombing happened, there was 'widespread speculation' it was the work of Arab terrorists, not a red state right-wing Caucasian terrorist.
when the Atlanta Olympics bombing happened, there was 'widespread speculation' it was that pathetic fat security guy who still lived with his mother.
when Susan Smith drowned her kids (boy would she and Scott Peterson make a pair...), there was 'widespread speculation' it was the work of some typically criminal black guy. She told them that's who did it because she knew everyone would buy it (and they did, at first), because for generations the South has always engaged in 'widespread speculation' that any despicable crime against white people, was probably committed by a black.
When does 'legitimately reporting widespread speculation' become just a fancy phrase for catering to prejudices, gossip, rumors and bullshit stereotypes???

Sorry to be all over the map here, but just catching up on the news. This letter caught my eye:
To the Editor:
The new demands on the mental health system will require tools to help far-flung veterans cope with the consequences of the war.
Using a new protocol for the management of mental health issues, we have the opportunity to truly support the troops returning from Iraq by providing them what they need: anonymous and remote tools to help them manage and understand the effects of war and a way to seek expert help if they decide that they need it.
Our returning soldiers deserve access to clinically proven mental health solutions. I am working with a team to devise a plan to do just that: provide a remote-management protocol to returning soldiers.
Supporting our troops requires more than a magnet on the back of a car.

I don't know where you live, but think seriously about getting a good used vehicle, two to five years old.
It will save you money in the initial purchase and it will cost you less in immediate depreciation.

Steve,
I had a crush on her too, in a non-lesbo kind of a way. I'm saying my lesbian affair for krsaz.
I do think, however, that she is an absolutely alluring woman. Intelligent, funny, articulate. Beautiful. I love to watch her speak, she is so expressive with her mouth.
Did you know that Kate is a democrat?

Gotta say that I like whoever upthread came up with the term "eco-vandalism" which is certainly closer to reality here than terrorism. I think that this guy's (the one who torched the houses) sentence should be community service, specifically some safe and environmentally-friendly way of destroying the rest of the faux palaces in this horrid-sounding develo-pment.
OT Word that some imbecile is actually going to make a Battle of Fallujah movie gave me an idea: couldn't they also move The Apprentice and all the other "reality" TV shows to Iraq? And I mean move everyone asociated with them: contestants, Trump, producers, TV execs, advertisers et al. How about The Real World somewhere in the Sunni triangle, sponsored by Kerik-Guiliani Security Services?

Why the fuck can't they do both?! Can anyone explain this to me. Gonzales should never be confirmed and there is a truckload of ammunition to be used against him. No digging is necessary. He should never be confirmed!

Er, "For The World Is Hollow And I Have Touched The Sky." Horrible episode. Probably third season.
Allan Holdsworth was really hung up on Mariette Hartley, when he was a lad. Even did an album cover to commemorate that horrible episode.

named Kate Woodville, who played the

Ah, Mariette Hartley....she was in
some Gene Roddenberry pilot where she
played (I think) a mutant with two
belly buttons. In a bikini, no less.
Whew!

Jenny,
They don't want to spend the political capital they don't have.
Read: they're fucking pussies.

What, "video in" and "video out"?
I don't want to know where the "aux" port was.

Jenny:
I think it is basically that the dems have no direction and they are running scared. There is a lot of conflict right now between the appeasers who want to go further right and the fighters who are still in shock about what happened in November.
Dean should be the new DNC head.

mariette Harley also played some woman who seduced Spock when he and McCoy were sent back in time on a planet about to be engulfed in a supernova.
The two belly buttons thing (Roddenbery getting back at NBC standards and practices for all the belly button vetoes during the run of Trek) was called Earth II.

krsaz & watertiger -
Thanks. It just seems so insane. There are a slew of ex-army lawyers and current military who would testify against Gonzales at the confirmation hearing. They're on record as opposing him. So the dems would have good support and backing. If they would only try...
But yes. We know the nature of this particular creature and it is not one to stand up and fight against the odds.

"All Our Yesterdays." Mr. Atoz. Zarabeth. Spock eatin' meat. The Atavachron.

Heh, yeah. I never saw that. I heard the payback was the epi where they got away with showing the undersides of the breasts, below the nipple, but not showing the nipple itself.
That was probably another crappy episode, like "The Cloud Minders."

The InstaParrot and InstaClones are definitely echo-terra-ists of the 1st degree.
And in addition to "Leaping To Conclusions" the IOC has added "Synchronised Political Thinking" to the 2008 Olympic Games to be held in Beijing. There seems to be a lot of speculation the InstaParrot is just in training with his team to contest the heavily-favoured hosts, the Chinese Communist Party, in the Synchronised Political Thinking event.
