This Frank Rich piece is a perfect example of how liberals should be pushing the Plame scandal — not by crying about bogus national security damage or by elevating spies to heroes.
This is all about how the administration operates, how it smears and how it lies.
It's not for liberals to romanticize spying and the CIA's proud culture of secrecy.
Remember Patrick Moynihan's great book, "Secrecy: The American Experience," which documented how counter-productive secrets can be in democracy.

Any self-respecting suicide bomber will recognize the opportunity that is presented through the randon search program of the NYPD.
On my appointed day with Allah, I strap on my backpack and suicide bomb kit.
I head down to the most crowded subway stop during rush hour and wait to be searched by the bomb patrol.
When I go to open my backpack, I detonate my bomb and take out all innocent bystanders and the police that are looking for bombs.
Mission accomplished with maximum death and destruction including several police officers.
What a horrible scenario. Why are we so naive?

John Gibson is a total douchebag and a coward to boot. I can't stand the sight of that fat, cowardly piece of dandruff, but about the London shooting...a few Atriots totally need a dose of reality.
The bottom line is that a day after a second set of suicide bombing attempts on the London Underground, homeboy (the dead guy) should have smartened the fuck up. On a _summer_ day, an Arabic looking dude runs into the Tube in a heavy overcoat, refuses to stop for the police, jumps a turnstile, runs down the escalator and try to dive in a train..
You do that and guess what - you're going to get popped! If I was a security officer I would have killed him too - not a doubt. For all the morons who saying, "Well they should have just disabled him!" I have to say, solid, solid response. Like wound him in the leg, so if had been wearing an explosive vest he still could've detonated it with his, um, hands, or shoot him in the midsection, which maybe could've trigged an explosion. The headshots were absolutely and completely appropriate.
Yes I know, he wasn't actually part of anything nefarious in hindsight. But remember again his behavior and what was going on in London at the time. The guy is - tragically - dead because he was a dumbass and IT IS HIS FAULT. It's tough being a liberal/progressive and come here to read these over-the-top fucking P.C. snipes and whines. No one is forcing me to look at the comments, but you read some of this la-la land shit and it leaves you speechless.

Hey, I'll grant you that dude is at least partially responsible for what happened to him. Running from the cops the day after a bunch of bombing attempts was definitely not a smart thing to do. But what happened to him shows the folly of trying to turn a democratic society into a police state. Lots of innocent people end up dead thanks to the hair-trigger responses of the police, who have full latitude to do what they will.
In return, I want you to agree that David Koresh and the rest of his band of krispy kritters was responsible for what happened at Waco. After all, if it had been you or I holed up in our homes after shooting and killing a cop who came to serve a warrant, no way would our local SWAT teams have allowed us to stay inside for several months.

Definitely so -- this was already happening under "grounds for suspicion" and "person of interest." It happened all the time on the TV show Cops that a guy is pulled over for driving erratically, tailight, whatever, and a light perusal reveals a botanical hobby.

Nobody considering the issue seriously would cavalierly throw around an expression like "five to the noggin" to describe the shooting death of an innocent man.
To use it repeatedly like he did shows he's either trying to be inflammatory, or sociopathic.
And having seen some of his other commentaries, I'm going to go with option B.

I Am Not Jewish, Neither

Anyone saying that Jesus

I am of Nature's Harmonic

They have us taped
They have us pat
They are extraterrestrial, extraterritorial
Where did they come from? No-one can say
One possible explanation is that they
Are Space Jews
Jews from outer space
Sent to walk amongst us
To improve the human race
Space Jews
Jews from outer space
They gave us a messiah
They gave us a morality
They help us lead good lives from up above
They are Space Jews
They're giving us a message of love
For them we're clear
They see right through
All the stupid and murderous things we do...or would like to
The Nobel prize never goes to the goys
Who split the atom?
Einstein, Oppenheimer and the Freuds
Every one of them
Space Jews
Jews from outer space
Sent to walk amongst us
To improve the human race
Space Jews
Jews from outer space
They're doctors and they're lawyers
They're astronaut philosophers
They're holding up a mirror from above
They are Space Jews
They're bringing us a message of love
We are from Earth
But they're from space
And that's where we'll all go one day
If we have enough faith
Together we'll colonise the stars
They can take us that far
Mr Spock on the Enterprise will be our guide
Vulcans too are Space Jews...
And I really admire them
I really want to be like them
And when you want to be one
That's all you need to feel like one
For in the words of one of them
Theodor Adorno:
'Soul is just the longing
Of those with no soul
For redemption'
So why don't you come and join them?
Space Jews
We're bringing you a vision of love
- momus, SPACE JEWS

"And I still don't get why or how the Jews would fill the hollow earth... what on earth is the point of that??"
inujytas
I think it has something to do with trying to deal with the contradiction that true Christians are supposed to hate Jews-as-Christ-killers while revering the Jews-as-God's-Chosen, so with the Tribes having been holed up in the earth, the Jews that are currently on earth aren't real Jews at all but pseudo-Jews, therefore available for toasting during the Apocalypse, or something.
Or I may be reading this all wrong.

Sadly, Booger (the other recent cat) is turning into a big paranoid -- he goes completely nuts & attacks Phred & ignores then starts huffing & growling at Baby -- can't trust him with euther -- so he's mostly confined to the courtyard -- winter will be interesting

Prior A's point still would stand. The Jews, not the earth, would be hollow.
Ah, but wouldn't the Jews, being part of the Earth and in its center actually consitute the center of the Earth, thus making it hollow?
And how many angels can dance on the head of a pin, anyway? If you dropped it in the woods and nobody were around to hear it except those angels, would it make a sound? And what if it were made out of the same dense material as a black hole...would it burrow all the way to the center of the Earth? And then would the Jews be hollow?

probably another false flag operation. another effort to drive us to welcome the global gulag.
npr's weekend edition of atc surprised me today. someone was interviewed who knew the geography of sharm el sheikh.
and what confused him was how any bomber could get a carbomb down that road to the bomb site. he related that there were 2-3 security checkpoints along that road.
after airing this, atc did not go any deeper into this issue.
but it is a very important issue.
how many kilos of explosives were in that vehicle? 30? or 300? and what kind of explosives were they? of military origin i think.
how did this vehicle clear all of the checkpoints along that private road? official documents proferred by the driver of the vehicle? or, egyptian security personnel who were part of the op?
or, were many israeli intell ops guests of the resort? many of them carrying in fractional quantities of the total explosive, assembling the total explosive, then detonating that explosive?
ses was not an islamic terrorist op, in my view. it was an israeli op.
i wonder, do you think that the egyptians will sequester all israelis in sharm el sheikh and vet each one of them?
all luggage, all vehicles, all clothes of all israelis in sharm el sheikh need to be checked for evidence of explosives.
if this isn't done, then you will know that the egyptian govt is beholden to some state entity that has run them off a full investigation of the bombing. and who could that entity be? the usg? the major financier of egypt?

Frank Rich:
"On May 29, Mr. Bush announced that "we found the weapons of mass destruction.""
I had to google that:
Q But, still, those countries who didn't support the Iraqi Freedom operation use the same argument, weapons of mass destruction haven't been found. So what argument will you use now to justify this war?
THE PRESIDENT: We found the weapons of mass destruction. We found biological laboratories. You remember when Colin Powell stood up in front of the world, and he said, Iraq has got laboratories, mobile labs to build biological weapons. They're illegal. They're against the United Nations resolutions, and we've so far discovered two. And we'll find more weapons as time goes on. But for those who say we haven't found the banned manufacturing devices or banned weapons, they're wrong, we found them. http://www.whitehouse.gov/g8/
int...interview5.html
Also found this carnegie endowment page that must have 150 quotes from everybody in the admin talking about WMD:
Deputy Secretary of Defense Wolfowitz
Washington Post
March 30, 2003
"The president has made very clear that the reason why we are in Iraq is to find weapons of mass destruction. The fact that we haven't found them in seven or eight days doesn't faze me one little bit. Very clearly, we need to find this stuff or people are going to be asking questions."
Secretary Rumsfeld
ABC "This Week with George Stephanapolous"
March 30, 2003
"If you think – let me take that, both pieces – the area in the south and the west and the north that coalition forces control is substantial. It happens not to be the area where weapons of mass destruction were dispersed. We know where they are. They're in the area around Tikrit and Baghdad and east, west, south and north somewhat. http://

Forget blenders and margaritas. Yucca is the only way to go. For the benefit of those of you who will be gathering in Philadelphia, be sure to save this recipe:
Large gallon glass jar (restaurant supply jar)
Six large lemons
3/4 - 1 cup sugar
Fifth of tequila
Ice
Prepare lemons for squeezing, slice, squeeze into jar and throw in rinds as well.
Add sugar & tequila.
Fill jar to rim with ice.
Wrap in kitchen towel and shake for an hour. Pass around party and have everyone do some of the shaking. Rule is "if you don't shake, you don't partake."
At the end of the hour, the towel will have frozen to the jar and the delicious concoction will be very cold. Pop open the top, pass around the party drinking straight from the jar.
Guaranteed to put a shit-eating tequila grin on every face within 10 minutes.
Warning: do not make more than one jar. And don't think you can get by with shaking for less than an hour. You can't, and it will suck.

I will not tell you (or your evil twin) how to measure, but I will have you know that I am extremely fond of both those Jews (did you know that Benedict is buried in a Christian cemetary?) -- I love to read Spinoza's letters & I am currently reading "Einstein for Dummies" which ought to be about my speed, but is rather over my head -- my problem is that Newton makes sense, so going beyond that is difficult for me to conceptualize (hell, I'm lucky that I can get Newton instead of being stuck with Aristotle)

One 'n' All -- I LOVED "Fantastic Four"! Perhaps the only unpretentious comic book movie (warning -- I also liked "Hellboy," but I am not familiar with the comix -- OTOH, I was a fan of FF from #10 to the appearance of the Silver Surfer when I suddenly lost the ability to read comic books) -- the attitude of the Human Torch was right on target -- it was funny -- it was touching -- it's box office exceeded expectations (almost by a factor of two) so there ought to be a sequel & I want to see it!

If a cop goes through you bag under the pretext of looking for explosives but finds a joint instead. Can you be arrested and sentenced?
Lima | 07.23.05 - 8:26 pm | #
Depends on where it is and under what circumstances...
If you are at an airport, the Supreme Court says yes... you have very low expectation of privacy there. At this point, you've got to assume it is the same way at any train station.
If you are just walking down the street, they need is a "reasonable articulable suspicion" that you have a weapon and the search has to be limited to what is necessary to find such a weapon.
In the past, this meant frisking the person for a gun or knife. But since we are talking about explosives now, I think the area of suspicion just got a lot bigger.

Evidence in the past during searches has not been thrown out. There is a case where a police officer frisked someone (looking or a weapon) and found an oz of marijuana. He told the jude that his 30 years of law enforcement experience has taught him what an oz of mj feels like thru jeans and therefore had reasonable cause to remove it from the person's pcoket. It was allowed bby the judge.
However, if they are searching a bag on the subway and find something else illegal, I'm *sure* that they can arrest you for that.

"who blows his own face off and puts on the mask to hide it, and derives all his powers from his technology."
Like Batman? although he doesn't blow off his own face.

I hate them as they drop death on children in Darfur.

It doesn't seem like you have reached a conclusion. You are just carrying emotions of fear and anger.
These are meaningless if you cannot reach some articulable strategy for dealing with the situation.
What is your strategy? Is it sending all the Muslims to concentration camps? Is it subjecting them to full body cavity searches every time they go out in public? Genocide?
If you have a strategy, state it and try to defend it. Right now, you are wasting everyone's time including your own.

Sort of, except that Batman doesn't really use technology for any of his actual asskicking.

Evening, free thinkers.
I was called away for an hour or so. What is going on now?

I just want them to stop killing children in Darfur. Why is that never mentioned, too. Lot's of US condemnations but none on them.

Of course, I don't support any of it.

Who never mentions that??? You're going to have get a lot more precise about your accusations if you want anyone to pay attention to you.

On the bright side, Fantastic Four is actually very watchable, except for every scene with that shirt-ad guy calling himself Victor Von Doom.
Except Von Doom wasn't a radiation induced mutant, he was really an evil mad scientist seduced by the Dark Side seeking to fuse the power of science and the occult, horribly disgured by an explosion in his quest for the Power of the Other Side.
What's with Hollywood these days?
And what's that with the Thing's appearance? He really should have resembled the Rock Monster from Galaxy Quest more than an obese burn patient. They did get the idiot persona right though.
Standards. Who has them these days?
On the other hand, on a second viewing, the Tripod machines from War of the Worlds are definitely what the latest DARPA budget had in mind.

Yeah, his hide should look like actual rocks, not... siding.
