Was it my imagination or did I really see discredited ex-NY Chief of Police Bernard Keirk on CNN last night discussing anti-terrorism tactics in NYC?
Unrepentant Fenian
nope, not your imagination. kerik knows fuckall about securing new york city. if you're really interested in what the nypd has done since 2001, check out the current new yorker for the article by william finnegan he terror beat. unfortunately, it's not available online.
the rehabilitation of bernard kerik is underway. he's apparently been showing up on fox. how unsurprising in their pandering that lou dobbs shows his love to bernie:
DOBBS: Kitty, thank you very much.
Joining me now, one of the country's most respected former law enforcement officials, the former New York City police commissioner, Bernie Kerik.
Bernie, good to have you here.
BERNIE KERIK, FORMER NEW YORK CITY POLICE COMMISSIONER: Thanks, Lou.
DOBBS: The situation in London is difficult. Two weeks after the attacks, sort of a follow-on with precisely the same approach, apparently: three subway trains, a bus, but the bombs didn't work. Any insight into what is going on there?
KERIK: Well, I think in some way it may have been connected. You know, the 7/7 bombings last week, they were well organized, well carried out. This, I think, was -- could have been a follow-up by some of the same group or another group, except it seemed somewhat disorganized, how they got there, where they were going and then none of the devices worked.
DOBBS: In the wake of these attacks, 77 and then the attacks yesterday, New York, other cities putting forward random searches in subways. Are those going to be effective? We have just about four million people in the city who are riding the subways.
KERIK: Four million people on a daily basis. I think 468 terminals, subway stations. You can't say we're going to prevent every attack, because it's virtually impossible, but it's another tool that we can use to help us. Technology enhanced enforcement, dogs, random searches. Random searches would be another -- another part of the solution.
DOBBS: The New York Civil Liberties Union coming out saying the searches unlawful, a violation of privacy rights. Your reaction?
KERIK: Don't take the subway. We have to keep the city secure. I fully endorse what Ray Kelly is doing, Mayor Bloomberg. I think it's essential that we protect the citizens of the city, and this is just another way to get there.
DOBBS: London, one of the things that is helping authorities there immensely, as you well know, are these closed circuit TVs that they have all over the place. There's also a great reaction in this country to the use of those surveillance cameras. Are they necessary? Should we be following the British lead here?
KERIK: I don't know if we're following the British lead or they're following us. You know, people would be surprised how many cameras there are in New York City, Times Squares, 34th and 7th, CCTV's in housing project. We have a lot of them here, which are helpful to us. And they have been extremely helpful to London. DOBBS: A week ago Homeland Security Chief Michael Chertoff said, and I want to quote him here, and just get your reaction, he said a commercial airliner has the capacity to kill 1,000 people. A bomb in a subway car may kill 30 people. He's been criticized for that. Do you think he needs to rethink his approach?
KERIK: You know, I can't answer for them. You know, I think they are both very severe areas. Grand Central on a daily basis, we have hundreds of thousands of people to go through there. Terrorist target? Absolutely.
DOBBS: The Muslim Council, going back to Britain, said the British government said the British government, instead of reacting specifically, said -- the Muslim Council said the British government should recognize the role of the Iraq war in radicalizing young Muslims. What's your reaction to that?
KERIK: The Iraqi war has nothing to do with this, and here's what I tell a lot of people around this country. On the morning of September 11, 2001, we weren't in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan. Libya hadn't disarmed. We weren't even on a war footing against terror in general. And we suffered the biggest attack in our country's history.
DOBBS: And radical Islamist terrorists, let me ask you straight forward. Do you believe this country should move from this amorphous war on terror to what the war is really about, a war on radical Islamists?
KERIK: I think they have to. I think they have to do it in some of the ways they're doing now in Iraq, Afghanistan, going after the people in these countries. But they also have to go after the hatred. Who's promoting this hate? Who's teaching it? Where's it coming from?
London has an enormous population of people that support bin Laden, support these executions and assassinations. I think those are the people you have to go after.
He's Fox's new "terorrism and marriage expert."

Great Review of Goldbers new book at Amazon.com. He sound like a moonbat to me.
0 of 1 people found the following review helpful:
DON'T READ TRASH!, July 23, 2005
Reviewer: Bob Kasprzak (phila,pa) - See all my reviewsI have a challenge for you die hard right wingers. I'm talking to the Hannity/Rush/O'Reilly/Coulter fans whose views are never going to change, yes, you in the front row with the automatic rifle. . . please point that. . . somewhere else. For those of you who really think that they know something about america I'm going to recommend, as an alternative to this piece of garbage, a real page turner; a fascinating look at the real history of america painstakingly researched often in the words of those who were there. The book is Howard Zinns "A Peoples histoy of the United States". When you finish this book you will know more about american history than your average college graduate. Which is more than you can say for goldbergs drivel.
Find out who's been leading you around by the nose. . .just as Hitler did the German people. . . for the simple reason that you don't read any thing that might threaten your view of political reality.
Liberals are NOT PERFECT. However you will not see us raise an army and invade a foreign country and murder 100,000 men women and CHILDREN just because we want their oil. Which brings me to those people who are really screwing up america like ....Bernie Goldberg. He's typical of a group of well paid hate mongerers who appeal to peoples baser instincts such as hate, greed, fear of the unknown and envy. When these people do this, they know that they won't need any facts to back them up because when someone is afraid or jealous or angry they are not in the frame of mind to look at both sides of the story. . .at that point you just want to kill something. Like a liberal or a jew...... Why do you think those people in the Baltic states, the Russian republics and certain African countries have descended into barbarism. Do you think that millions of former neighbors and friend just woke up one day and started murdering each other?!?!?!?! No. They needed some trouble maker like Goldberg to stir up trouble and turn neighbor against neighbor. Do you want your country to end up like the Balkins? Those countries were not much different from ours before the trouble makers brought Hell on earth to them. it will If you continue to buy their garbage.
Someone once asked the Buddha: what is the greatest obstacle to enlightenment?
The answer was LAZINESS.
Goldberg and his ilk feed on lazy people; they couldn't exist without them.
If you are sitting there thinking this doesn't apply to you. . .see my challenge above.

It's a good thing there's something to joke about in this horror of a war. It's funny. And it's not.
Speaking of jokes, I just caught this in Froomkin's column:
And Jonathan Chait writes in a Los Angeles Times opinion column this morning: "Bush has an obsession with exercise that borders on the creepy. . . .
"Bush's insistence that the entire populace follow his example, and that his staff join him on a Long March -- er, Long Run -- carries about it the faint whiff of a cult of personality. It also shows how out of touch he is. It's nice for Bush that he can take an hour or two out of every day to run, bike or pump iron. Unfortunately, most of us have more demanding jobs than he does."
It's funny. And it's not.

Space and Time would have to be in the proper alignment.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's political advisers have discussed calling for the cancellation of the special election the governor has set for November.
A day after a state Superior Court judge ordered a Schwarzenegger-backed redistricting initiative off the November ballot, consultants for the first time considered how the election could be called off in a conference call Friday morning.
The discussion illustrates just how far the governor has fallen in the seven months since he first floated the idea of a vote this year. The election has been seen as Schwarzenegger's make-or-break moment in his nascent political career, and a retreat could have profound political implications.
Administration officials and Schwarzenegger advisers insisted Friday that they were still planning for an election, and they noted that this week's legal setback would be appealed. But Mike Murphy, one of the governor's top consultants, acknowledged that canceling the election was discussed Friday.
It's simply a bona fide idiot's view of leadership. See, I can make all those people do like me...I'm sooooo powerful.

*Shudder* This is the family values crowd, folks. The tough on terror folk like Chimp who ran away from the "system blinking red" to waste a month in TX while terror plots were executed right under his nose. Bernie and Rudy were somehow uttery thrilled that a man like chimp was pResident when the Twin Towers were blown apart. Sick. Twisted. Demented.

Give the man some credit. He's given a whole bunch of people a new mission in life.
Of course, they all want to kill us, so there's that....

I don't see how anyone should be surprised by the multiple "number 3's", after all, if you are going to fight a perpetual war, you are going to have to create a lot of enemies.

Only 4 #3 and 2 20th hijackers? Sure seems like it was a lot more.
Maybe I'm just confusing it with the number of missing white women.

More *good news* from the "Freedom is on the March" front. Gunmen abduct 2 diplomats in Iraq
This brings the number of diplomats abducted from Islamic countries stationed in Iraq to 5. They were strongly encouraged by Bu$hCo to establish a diplomatic post in Iraq. More fucking proof that every single idea this WH comes up with means disaster for others.

Well, see, it's kinda like we all like to be "first"! Everyone in alQ wants to be third. So when they get caught, they tell their captors that they're number three.

Actually, they have all been number #5.
Al-Q doesn't staff positions #3 and #4 to fuck with the heads of their enemies.
Those wily terrorists.

I Would Like Some Answers
I keep hearing from the left the same old rhetoric. Maybe it would help me understand what they really want if they would answer the following questions:
If we pull out of Iraq what will that accomplish? Will it make us safer in the long run or will it just embolden the terrorist to strike at us again? And if that should happen in what country are we going to attack them? Or should we just play defense here in the states and just repel them when they do attack us? Heaven forbid that we should go after them in Syria or Iran or Saudi Arabia. We might kill too many innocent civilians. The civilians they purposely kill are probably not innocent at all. They know how to choose better.
If we keep going on the decadent moral road of the left will that make our country stronger? Or is that not one of the goals sought by the left? Do they believe a Godless country is better? Is it okay to murder innocent unborn babies and not execute spineless murderous members of our society? Is it okay to root for the enemy? Is it okay, under punishment of incarceration to forcefully give a good part of your earnings to someone who thinks it’s his right to lay claim to your wealth? Is it okay to make so many laws that hamper the medical profession that the result is sky high costs for medical treatment?
Last but not least, how would it affect us if the rest of the world really liked us? Would they just not assume that we have an obligation with every world catastrophe? Will they not seek anymore help from us every time they are constipated?
How would Hillary or any other democratic “insurgent” handle our present state of affairs, starting from 911?
nobody wants to be #2

I'll field this one:
1)Pulling out of Iraq will result in the same thing that's currently going on there: more civil war. It would, however, help to stop radicalizing young Muslim men against us. Fewer radicalized Muslims = fewer terrorists wanting to strike at us.
2) We should strike at the ones who attack. None of whom were Iraqi.
3) The amount of taxpayer dollars squandered/stolen in Iraq certainly would help us to fend off attacks here at home.
4) The "decadent moral road" you speak of - ever notice that it was the Fox network who really turned network TV to trash? And the guy who owns it is a bigtime GOP supporter. Also, IIRC, lying and stealing are immoral, yet you support it as long as your guys are the ones doing it.
5) No one cares what you think about God; we only care when you insist that everyone else should be forced, by law, to think the same thing. The best way to create a "Godless" country is to force "belief" upon people. Ture faith is voluntary; forced faith is fake.
6) Unborn babies are at best potential human lives. Embryos/fetuses have at best a 50% chance of surviving from conception to birth. Nature terminates the other 50%. So of course it is absurd to posit that the rights of a potential person outweigh those of a de facto one.
7) No, it's not ok to root for the enemy. Your support of the Bush administration is unforgiveable.
Feel free to move somewhere like Brazil or the Phillipines if you don't like taxation. At least in those places you can enjoy the fruits that an economy with no middle class and very low taxation of the wealthy have to offer: shantytowns with open running sewers, abandoned street children, and little public infrastructure. If you don't want to pay for it, move somewhere where it isn't provided.
9) It's not right that medical insurance company profits drive our health care system. However, you and yours have always put profits before people, and in our medical system we are reaping what you have sown.
10) After the disaster you and yours have foisted upon the rest of the world, it will be decades before we'll ever be able to gauge what the effects would be if the rest of the world liked us. Thanks to the looting of our treasury and squandering of our resources by Chimpy and his crew, by that time, we won't be in a position to help anyone even if by then they think highly enough of us to ask.
11) No one knows for sure how Hillary or any other democrat would have handled things since 9/11, except in one particular: they wouldn't have lied to the public to get support to go after people who had nothing to do with it.
Next?

DammitDee,
I would have seriously given your questions thought, until you diverged into the standard "The Left Hate America" argument that the right has been spewing since 5 minutes after the first plane hit on 9/11.
So let me just say, go back to your Faux News, and leave us alone. You are never going to be convinced of anything other than your tiny world veiw.

Because she never existed. It was just a yuppie friendly cover story (who takes out SS taxes for their nanny). A total bullshit story.

"Number of killed or captured suspects reported so far by U.S. media to be Al Qaeda's 'number 3' man: 4"
Al-Qaeda has perfected clone technology ?
BTW, I've lost track how many guys the Bushies have identified as the "Mastermind of 9/11".
There's likely another 'Mastermind' or 'Number 3 Man' driving a cab around in New York City at this very moment, and he doesn't even know it.

You can now have up to 100 number 3 suspects. Why, you ask?
The thread has petered out, but have to say good job to Jennifer as well.
The troll needs to come to terms with this: the GOP has made a ton of political hay out of the meme that Clinton & Co. were like wayward teenagers, children in charge of the White House. The troll and friends are about to be overwhelmed, soon and for years, with the truth as the storyline turns against them, because it literally is the truth that the current occupants are the real 'kids in charge of the White House.' Since this is the truth, and not propaganda like the conservatards' smear, its 'legs' will have no end. Years from now, trollboy, FIFTY YEARS FROM NOW, the average American will not be able to think of conservatism without the distaste attached to it by this Administration and its conservative hack media enablers.
Start getting used to it.

This is kind of like being the 20th hijacker, no? I've counted at least two guys definitively identified that way.

The best part about the "20th hijacker" stories is that the Boy Emperor Clown stated at a press conference early on, that only the four pilots new of the 9/11 plot, the others were not aware of it until after they boarded the planes.
Doesn't that then exonerate Zacarias Moussaoui, as he was in jail at the time and never boarded the plane ?
