GravatarLook what Digby dug up earlier in the week:

"I have no idea whether we'll find out who the leaker is, partially because, in all due respect to your profession, you do a very good job of protecting the leakers," he said. "You tell me: How many sources have you had that's leaked information that you've exposed or had been exposed? Probably none. I mean, this town is a town full of people who like to leak information."

So said the king in October 2003.

Given Chalabi's "Aspen" connections and the fact that he's burned his bridges to the Bush junta I wonder if that might not have been a warning to Judith that his American mouthpiece was expendible.


GravatarI've thought from the beginning that Bush knew who the leaker was, mostly because of the way he smirked when he talked about it.

As Digby and others have speculated, the king and his minions were counting on the press not revealing the identity of the leakers.

"American Girl, manufacturer of a highly popular line of dolls and children's books, has become the target of conservative activists threatening a boycott unless the toy maker cuts off contributions to a youth organization that supports abortion rights and acceptance of lesbians.

The protest is directed at an ongoing American Girl campaign in which proceeds from sales of a special "I Can" wristband help support educational and empowerment programs of Girls Inc., a national nonprofit organization which describes its mission as "inspiring girls to be strong, smart and bold."

American Girl, whose often patriotic products have long had a loyal following among conservatives, issued a statement Friday defending its support of Girls Inc. and assailing the protest campaign.

The Mississippi-based American Family Association, in a campaign launched Wednesday, is urging its members to demand that American Girl halt support for Girls Inc., which it called "a pro-abortion, pro-lesbian advocacy group."

GravatarDeadly Asian bird flu strain reaches Europe

BUCHAREST (AFP) - The bird flu strain that has killed over 60 people in Asia was confirmed to have arrived on mainland Europe for the first time, adding urgency to crisis measures to stop a feared pandemic.

Test results on samples from Romania confirmed the presence of the lethal H5N1 virus, two days after its detection in Turkey forced Europe to bolster its defences and stockpile anti-viral drugs, while urging people not to panic.

"The virus taken from (the Romanian village of) Ceamurlia de Jos is indeed the H5N1," Romanian Agriculture Minister Gheorghe Flutur said on the Realitatea television station, following an emergency meeting on the bird flu crisis.

"We are discussing what measures are needed to strengthen the protection zone around the source" of the outbreak, in the Danube Delta region of Romania on the Black Sea coast, he added.

In Britain -- where the tests on the Romanian samples were carried out -- the agriculture ministry confirmed the lethal strain.


GravatarAmong the government's expenditures for hurricane relief last month was $223,000 for flip-flop sandals, three golf carts rented for $1,500 a month and playing cards, The New York Times reported on Saturday.

Actually, those expenditures seem miniscule and quite logical to me, compared with the millions spent trucking ice around the country.
A lot of people were totally without footwear, and flipflops are the cheapest way to outfit them.
The playing cards? Maybe to keep people occupied in the shelters.


GravatarTom Delay's media strategy, encompassing news outlets, advertising, direct mail and his own web site is ground-breaking.

Gravatar"Brother, Can You Spare a Dime," lyrics by Yip Harburg, music by Gorney Harburg (1931)

They used to tell me I was building a dream, and so I followed the mob,
When there was earth to plow, or guns to bear, I was always there right on the job.
They used to tell me I was building a dream, with peace and glory ahead,
Why should I be standing in line, just waiting for bread?

Once I built a railroad, I made it run, made it race against time.
Once I built a railroad; now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?
Once I built a tower, up to the sun, brick, and rivet, and lime;
Once I built a tower, now it's done. Brother, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum,
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
And I was the kid with the drum!

Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Why don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?

Once in khaki suits, gee we looked swell,
Full of that Yankee Doodly Dum,
Half a million boots went slogging through Hell,
And I was the kid with the drum!

Say, don't you remember, they called me Al; it was Al all the time.
Say, don't you remember, I'm your pal? Buddy, can you spare a dime?

GravatarKashmir quake toll nears 40,000 as rain hits relief

MUZAFFARABAD, Pakistan (Reuters) - Pakistan raised the official death toll from the Kashmir earthquake to 38,000 on Saturday, making it one of the most devastating earthquakes to hit South Asia in recorded history.

Military spokesman Shaukat Sultan said the number of deaths in Pakistani Kashmir and North West Frontier Province was raised to 38,000 from 25,000 after confirming a higher death toll from remote mountain valleys and the town of Balakot.

"This number is likely to further rise," Sultan told Reuters.

Another 1,300 people are confirmed to have died in Indian Kashmir.

Relief flights in and out of Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani Kashmir, were severely disrupted on Saturday by rain. A few helicopters managed to take off from a makeshift landing pad in a sports field but it was nothing like what has become the routine of a flight every minute.

GravatarCan anyone explain why Novak has not be "detained"? I don't know what I am missing here, but if Fitzgerald hauled Novak before the grand jury and threatened him with contempt if he did not reveal his source(s) for his articles which clearly seems illegal, the whole damn thing would fall into place. Sure, Novak can claim "journalistic privilege" or what ever to "protect" his source, but didn't Novak break the law himself? I do understand that Fiztgerald is going to be legally fastidious so that any indictments he brings will be iron clad, but the whole Novak connection seems to missing from the big picture.


GravatarForgot Larry Franklin and Israel

when does the Treason trila start for Rosen and Weissman? I guess traitors, at a dime a dozen in this crew, are hard to keep track of.


Gravatar(HUAC) began an investigation into the Hollywood Motion Picture Industry. The HUAC interviewed 41 people who were working in Hollywood. These people attended voluntarily and became known as "friendly witnesses". During their interviews they named several people who they accused of holding left-wing views. This included Robert Taylor, who complained about the radical lyrics of Harburg's song, And Russia is Her Name, in his film, A Song of Russia.

Harburg, who had been a member of several radical organizations, was also named in Red Channels. This pamphlet, distributed to organizations involved in employing people in the entertainment industry, listed 150 people who had been involved in promoting left-wing causes.

Harburg was now blacklisted in Hollywood and after two years without film work, returned to New York where he wrote Broadway shows. As a result of the blacklist, Harburg's highly successful Broadway musical, Finian's Rainbow, was not filmed until 1968. Edgar Yip Harburg died in Los Angeles on 5th March, 1981.


Gravatartrila=trial.

more coffee obviously needed.


GravatarKarin--I think the expenditures for flip flops, playing cards and golf carts seem reasonable as well. I think the real scandal is in the reconstruction costs, where a hammer might cost $223K.

GravatarI agree that Novak seems to be missing from the general discussion these days. Doesn't he bear a lot of the responsibility for outing Plame in the first place, in his own column? A big, bad Washington insider like him must have known exactly what choice he was making by using the info he was given, and what the fallout would be.

Yet, he still has jobs at CNN and the WaPo. Why hasn't he been shamed out of town yet? He's a fawning and pathetic excuse for a journalist. Guess I sound pretty Pollyannish and naive but I honestly don't understand why any credibility or respect should be thrown his way.

A favorite troll refrain.

That and the word "elitism".


GravatarNow as to the spirit of lies and obfuscation, kindly old boilerman10 would now like to tell the kiddies about how the giant got hogtied.

Once there was a village idiot who was, in spite of his dim brain, quite sneaky and devious. He had been raised on the conservative book called "Gullible's Travels", and story full of gobbledegook about how America was being hogtied by it committments to helping, a la "Marshall Plan" style, impoverished foreign nations. The howl continued about how we were being taxed to death by foreign aid to enemies who were selling us out to the Russians at every possible opportunity. The tone was shrill, the wording hyperbolic and perjorative, and the book ended up as a prop under the short leg that clunky table down in the shop that gets used for lawn mower repairs, that always wobbled.

Fast forward 40 years.

The cons are at last in power bringing the vilage idiot to the Presidency. So guess what happens? [Billmon hits it right on the nose too!] "...But in addition to the Miers nomination, it also reminded me of one of the great ironies of the Shrub's Presidency: an administration that came to power determined to win maximum freedom of action in foreign policy by going it alone (or recruiting ad hoc coalitions that would submissively follow Washington's lead) has ended up virtually paralyzed by the consequences of its own hubris..." to paraphrase. Billmon goes on quite aways with this line of thought and regrettably, its true, right down the line. America is hogtied.

He ends it well too.

"Now the question is: what can Gulliver do about it? Or, even more importantly, what will Gulliver try to do about it?"


GravatarI think it's more of inferiority complex


GravatarDiogenes seems to be oblivious to the fact that he's not convincing anyone of anything.

“The Klan,” a video news program distributed by the Ku Klux Klan will be airing on MCTV in Midland. The first airing of the program will be on Saturday, October 22nd at 11:30 pm.

According to their website, the Ku Klux Klan brings “a message of hope and deliverance to white Christian America. A message of love, not hate.”

On the site can be found links to sign anti-gay marriage petitions, messages that ‘race-mixing’ is unholy, and articles stating Martin Luther King Jr. had ties to the communist party.

GravatarOT: Al Qaeda "barber" arrested in Iraq

BAGHDAD (Reuters) - U.S. forces in Iraq said on Saturday that they were holding a man suspected of acting as a barber to senior al Qaeda militants and helping them change their appearance to evade capture.

The man, named as Walid Muhammad Farhan Juwar al-Zubaydi -- "aka 'The Barber'", the U.S. military statement said -- was arrested in Baghdad on September 24, the day before U.S. troops caught up with and killed a militant they described as the most senior al Qaeda leader in the capital, Abu Azzam.

"'The Barber's' duties included altering senior al Qaeda in Iraq members' appearances by dying hair color, altering hairstyles and changing facial hair in their efforts to evade capture," the military said in the statement.

Also detained on September 24 was Ibrahim Muhammad Subhi Khayri al-Rihawi, the military said, naming him also as Abu Khalil and calling him a "close associate" of Abu Azzam.


GravatarAt least it's airing at a decently out-of-the-way time - who watches PBS on Saturdays at 11:30 pm, anyway?

Criminalizing Conservatives
Fall of 2005 will be remembered as a time when it became clear that a strategy of criminalization had been implemented to inflict defeat on conservatives.
by William Kristol
10/24/2005, Volume 011, Issue 06


"Why are conservative Republicans, who control the executive and legislative branches of government for the first time in living memory, so vulnerable to the phenomenon of criminalization? Is it simple payback for the impeachment of Bill Clinton? Or is it a reflection of some deep malady at the heart of American politics? If criminalization is seen to loom ahead for every conservative who begins successfully to act out his or her beliefs in government or politics, is the project of conservative reform sustainable?

We don't pretend to have all the answers, or a solid answer even to one of these questions. But it's a reasonable bet that the fall of 2005 will be remembered as a time when it became clear that a comprehensive strategy of criminalization had been implemented to inflict defeat on conservatives who seek to govern as conservatives. And it is clear that thinking through a response to this challenge is a task conservatives can no longer postpone."

Hell, there wouldn't even be a modern conservative movement if they hadn't blown the Kennedy's brains out. Great starting point, huh?

Gravatarthink it's hilarious that they are going after the American Girls dolls. Those things are very popular and expensive. (For good reason - they really are pretty cool dolls; the accessories are just to die for if you like that kind of thing; they are very authentic to period).

They really know how to alienate people who probably otherwise would vote Repug.

Like I said, I love how they equate "empowering" women with lesbianism and abortion.

Their tiny minds just can't grasp that the 1950s are not coming back.


GravatarI've managed to avoid coffee for three days straight. Just haven't made it to Kroger (Sav-A-Lot didn't have their usual deal on Folger's, probably due to Katrina). I guess I'd better get there today, at some point.

And damn, my local Regis Bank branch is no longer open on Saturdays...?!? WTFIUWT?!?

GravatarKleagle, if you're that upset about Klan existence and activity, write them a letter, or contact the NAACP.

Talking about things that happened 60 years ago and more contributes no help to what's actually happening TODAY - the PBS show we're supposed to be discussing in the first place.

Blathering on about history in this context is just wasted space and time, especially since you still don't seem too concerned about finding other inequities in other congressmens' pasts.

The truth comes out!


GravatarFrom Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World , p. 114.

"Terror, he realized, was best spread not by the acts of warriors, but by the pens of scribes and scholars. In an era before newspapers, the letters of the intelligentsia played a primary role in shaping public opinion, and in the conquest of central Asia, they played their role quite well on Genghis Khan's behalf. The Mongols operated a virtual propaganda machine that consistently inflated the number of people killed in battle and spread fear wherever its words carried."

So far, I've really been enjoying the book.


GravatarShove it.

Gravatartheir pretensions to being "the party of ideas"



Their "ideas" weren't even good ideas 50 years ago.

They haven't much evolved.


GravatarActually, I have a sliver of hope that the NYT investigating team will try to do its job, given that the newsroom has no love lost for JFM.

Whether they get proper access to JFM -- and if not, whether they treat her like an uncooperative subject of an investigative report -- is another thing. As is whether Pinch will spike or blue-pencil what they produce.

I'm sure that there are people in the Times' eschelons who consider this a last chance to Do The Right Thing before the indictments come down. How much power they have... I dunno.

We're still at war in two countries, trying to mop up after two natural disasters in this country, still facing some serious economic problems as fuel costs continue to rise just before the winter heating season.

Who in the hell is running the country? Who's working to get things done?

GravatarRobert Byrd was simply a product of his time, in my opinion. My grandparents, whom I love very much, still talk about "those colored people" - and they've probably met and talked to three or four in their entire lives. They both grew up on the plateau in Middle Tennessee, Appalachian mountain folk who had to work hard and fend for themselves, born into familial poverty long before the Depression took hold of America. I visit them every year and NEVER see any sign of African-Americans within probably a 100-mile radius of the area. It's just a matter of ignorance and traditional, comfortable ways of thinking.

Byrd no doubt grew up in much the same way. Would you or I be any different growing up in the same context? I was a military brat, played with all kinds of children, saw different cultures and traditions and accepted them - because I was a child. Children can't help but pass on what they see and hear.

GravatarThey haven't paid any attention to this country. They came into the WH determined to do one thing - invade Iraq. That's all they've fucking done in 5 goddamned years.

Well, two things--transferring tax money to, and tax burden away from, wealth GOP donors was of equally high priority. And they've done a pretty good job at that, too.

I'm with Tena on this one, Diane--a couple years of Federal inactivity and gridlock is nothing to be upset about with this bunch in charge. The slower things happen, the slower they can run the country into the ground.


GravatarThis isn't a new situation.

Gravatar(From previous thread)

And...as tempting as it is to hope that Fitzgerald brings down the whole lot of these lying, traitorous, opportunistic scumbags, don't be too disappointed if indictments are few and narrow. It was a long road from charging the Watergate burglars to bringing down Nixon. The existence of the Nixon tapes was an insignificant detail that happened to come out during the testimony of an insignificant figure in the White House. One a glimpse of the truth is visible, things have a way of taking on a life of their own. Fitzgerald is doing the right thing by doing his job and only his job. As long as he's doing it well, it will pay off in the end.


GravatarThat's all they've fucking done in 5 goddamned years.

GravatarWhat Drudge's headline says:

LAWYER: ROVE 'NO TARGET'

What the article says:

"The special counsel has not advised Mr. Rove that he is a target of the investigation and affirmed that he has made no decision concerning charges," Rove's attorney Robert Luskin said in a statement.

"The special counsel has indicated that he does not anticipate the need for Mr. Rove's further cooperation," the statement said.


Not deciding if Rove is a target is not the same thing as Rove not being a target.


GravatarI'm merely a Stone Cold Steve Austinite.

I don't know whether I'm supposed to be happy about that or not. There is no doubt our intelligence capabilities before, during and after 9/11 were (are) inadequate. AND what intelligence we did have, Bush & Co., didn't act on. Plenty of blame to go around.


GravatarNot deciding if Rove is a target is not the same thing as Rove not being a target.

Crappy journalism from the Drudge Report. Whodathunkit?


GravatarAwwww, HE's no fun!

"UNIONDALE, N.Y. - Kenneth M. Hoagland had heard all the stories about prom-night debauchery at his Long Island high school: Students putting down $10,000 to rent a house in the Hamptons for a weekend bash. Pre-prom cocktail parties followed by a trip to the dance in a limo loaded with liquor. Fathers chartering a boat so their kids could go out on a late-night "booze cruise."

Enough was enough, Hoagland said. So the principal of Kellenberg Memorial High School fired off a 2,000-word missive to parents at the start of the school year informing them that the Catholic school would no longer put on the spring prom.

"It is not primarily the sex/booze/drugs that surround this event, as problematic as they might be; it is rather the flaunting of affluence, assuming exaggerated expenses, a pursuit of vanity for vanity's sake _ in a word, financial decadence," Brother Hoagland said, fed up with what he calls the "bacchanalian aspects" of the prom.

"Each year it gets worse _ becomes more exaggerated, more expensive, more emotionally traumatic," he added. "We are withdrawing from the battle and allowing the parents full responsibility. (Kellenberg) is willing to sponsor a prom, but not an orgy."


GravatarThe move has brought a mixed, albeit passionate, reaction from students and parents.

"I don't think it's fair, obviously, that they canceled the prom," said senior Alyssa Johnson of Westbury. "There are problems with the prom, but I don't think their reasons or the actions they took solved anything."

In his letter, Hoagland cited a litany of problems that he says have developed over the years. He began a dialogue on the future of the prom last spring after it was discovered that 46 Kellenberg seniors made a $10,000 down payment on a $20,000 rental in the Hamptons for a post-prom party. When school officials found out, they forced the students to cancel the deal; the kids got their money back and the prom went on as planned.

But Hoagland said some parents went ahead and rented a Hamptons house anyway.

Amy Best, an associate professor of sociology and anthropology at George Mason University in Virginia and the author of "Prom Night: Youth, Schools and Popular Culture," said this is the first time she has heard of a school canceling the prom for such reasons.

"A lot of people have lamented the growing consumption that surrounds the prom," she said, noting it is not uncommon to see students pay $1,000 on the prom and the surrounding folderol: dresses that cost hundreds, tuxedo rentals, flowers, limousines, pre- and post-prom parties.

Best pinned some of the blame for the burgeoning costs on parents, who are often willing to open their wallets for whatever their child demands. "It is a huge misperception that the kids themselves are totally driving this."

Edward Lawson, the father of a Kellenberg senior, said he and other parents are discussing whether to organize a prom for their children without the sponsorship of the school.

GravatarNo, I guess they didn't actually organize rallies and the like...but stuff like that did meet with tacit approval and silent support from the majority of Americans at the time.

The point being, you can either condemn people for what they were 60 years ago, or, more sensibly, look at the actions they're taking NOW, that affect lives TODAY, and act accordingly. Again, how does talking about the distant past of ONE congressman help resolve today's issues?

It's almost like ranting and raving against today's elderly Germans for their support of the Nazi regime. They have their own demons to deal with, for sure. But how does that change anything for the better? What actions will you, personally, embark upon as a result? I'm still missing your ultimate point.

The Commerce Department has responded to a half-year-old request by Manufacturing and Technology News for the release a long-awaited study on the issue of "offshore outsourcing" of IT service-sector jobs and high-tech industries. But the 12-page document represented by the agency as its final report is not what was written by its analysts. Rather, it was crafted by political appointees at Commerce and at the White House, according to those familiar with it.

At an estimated cost of $335,000 -- or $28,000 per page -- the document MTN received from the Commerce Department's Technology Administration contains no original research and forsakes its initial intent of providing a balanced view of outsourcing, according to those inside and outside the agency.
