The report also says "Gibson almost continually [sic] threatened me saying he 'owns Malibu' and will spend all of his money to 'get even' with me."
"The report says Gibson then launched into a barrage of anti-Semitic statements: "F*****g Jews... The Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world." Gibson then asked the deputy, "Are you a Jew?"

Five weeks ago seven would-be terrorists, home grown division, were arretsed in Miami. Their stories have largely vanished from the news.
Seven weeks ago 17 would-be terrorists, home grown/Canada division, were arrested in Toronto. Their stories have largely vanished from the news.
So in less than two months we have 25 arrests of terrorists intent on killing in the US, only one of whom succeeded, but the successful one is described by the home town paper as "having a history of mental illness" and the others have dropped off the list of MSM-approved topics for coverage.
Can we agree that all terrorists have some degree of mental illness? Can we also agree that it is completely and utterly irrelevant to the victims of their crimes?
What we need to know --and what the American MSM seems profoundly uninterested in-- is where did they come from? What made them terrorists?

He traded one addiction for another:
"In a 2004 interview with ABC to discuss his controversial Passion, Gibson – who is a traditionalist Roman Catholic – credited his faith with helping him overcome addiction in the early 1990s, when he quietly underwent unspecified rehab. "Everyone's got something," he said in the interview. "I would get addicted to anything, anything at all. OK? Doesn't matter what it is — drugs, booze, anything. … I'm just one of these guys who is like that. That's my flaw."

Via K-Lo, whose tears are now causing her autographed Mel photo to run:
Statement from Mel Gibson re DUI arrest July 29, 2006
“After drinking alcohol on Thursday night, I did a number of things that were very wrong and for which I am ashamed. I drove a car when I should not have, and was stopped by the LA County Sheriffs. The arresting officer was just doing his job and I feel fortunate that I was apprehended before I caused injury to any other person. I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested, and said things that I do not believe to be true and which are despicable. I am deeply ashamed of everything I said. Also, I take this opportunity to apologize to the deputies involved for my belligerent behavior. They have always been there for me in my community and indeed probably saved me from myself. I disgraced myself and my family with my behavior and for that I am truly sorry. I have battled with the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse. I apologize for any behavior unbecoming of me in my inebriated state and have already taken necessary steps to ensure my return to health.”

Which behavior is Mel apologizing for, blaming Jews for everything or calling a woman "sugar tits"?
This latter epithet is particularly egregious, because as we all know, Orthodox dietary law expressly forbids the mingling of sugar and tits. Thus, the supposed compliment metaphorically reduces the recipient to treff.

BAGHDAD, Iraq, July 29 — The State Department agency in charge of $1.4 billion in reconstruction money in Iraq used an accounting shell game to hide ballooning cost overruns on its projects there and knowingly withheld information on schedule delays from Congress, a federal audit released late Friday has found.
The agency hid construction overruns by listing them as overhead or administrative costs, according to the audit, written by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction, an independent office that reports to Congress, the Pentagon and the State Department.
Bet these guys thought of the deception all on their own too. . . .
Lebanon's Prime Minister Fouad Siniora has said that if Israel wants secure borders it must withdraw from the disputed Shebaa Farms area that it has occupied since 1967.
Israel, which has bombarded Beirut's suburbs and southern Lebanon with aircraft and artillery since July 12, says it wants to weaken Hezbollah so that the Lebanese government can disarm the group.
In an interview with Aljazeera.net late on Friday, Siniora said his government cannot force Hezbollah to disarm as long as Israel continues to occupy the Shebaa Farms.

Mel Gibson issued a lengthy statement Saturday apologizing for his drunk driving arrest and saying he has battled alcoholism throughout his life.
Gibson also apologized for what he said were “despicable” statements he made to the deputies who arrested him early Friday morning on Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.
“I acted like a person completely out of control when I was arrested,” he said in a statement issued by his publicist. “I disgraced myself and my family with my behavior and for that I am truly sorry. I have battled with the disease of alcoholism for all of my adult life and profoundly regret my horrific relapse.”

Israel's refusal to halt attacks in south Lebanon is hampering aid attempts and preventing stranded civilians from leaving the war zone.
The UN's emergency relief coordinator, Jan Egeland, requested a three-day ceasefire in Lebanon to allow aid through but Israel refused to agree to a truce.
Israeli planes continued air strikes in southern Lebanon, killing a woman and six children in a house in the village of Nmeiriya this afternoon, according to Lebanese medical sources.
Hizbollah guerrillas have fired longer-range missiles deeper into Israel today than ever before and fighting continues near the Israel and Lebanon border.
The UN said that aid supplies are running out 'very, very fast' leaving children, the elderly and disabled stranded in south Lebanon.

Bush hates freedom, too, of course; unless it's the freedom to do whatever he wants to do. But he hates anyone else having freedom. Especially people who can restrict his freedom: to lock people up, to throw away the key, to kill. He likes those freedoms best.

Tell me, how does the Bible view chocolate sauce and the bosom? If the chocolate sauce is sweetened with raw agave nectar?
Let me take the second question first. It's a go! I mean, it's right in the Song of Solomon somewhere, although admittedly intense controversy still rages on whether the noun traditionally translated as "chocolate" should properly be rendered either "carob" or "camel". And it might be pomegranate juice-- but, as we like to say, "close enough for Scriptural work".
Off the top of my head, I can't think of any specific scriptural authority one way or another on the general issue of (warm) chocolate sauce being drizzled on bosoms-- succulent bosoms, I would conjecture. There is that reference in Lamentations to "Bosco"-- but that's disputed too, and doesn't speak to the saucing of bosoms in any event.
But there's a certain practical argument for its sanctioned use: it makes a nice change from spikenard.
I'll have to dig around a little further and get back to you on that one...

Her comments came as it emerged that former Foreign Secretary Jack Straw has warned Israeli military action "could further destabilise the already fragile Lebanese nation".
Mr Straw backed Foreign Office Minister Kim Howells, who described the Israeli action as "disproportionate".
Meanwhile, a Labour Muslim MP Sadiq Khan said he feared UK foreign policy may be seen as anti-Muslim.
Writing in Saturday's Guardian, the MP for Tooting said UK Muslims could not understand why Mr Blair had not called for an immediate ceasefire.

I am sick to my stomach. Connecticut's largest state paper, the Hartford Courant, has endorsed Leaveman.
The Courant says: Mr. Lieberman's history of enthusiasm for military interventions overseas is an anomaly in a man famous for mediating among warring factions in Washington. But to dismiss this moderate -- a vanishing breed in a Congress sundered by extremism on both sides -- for dissenting on a single issue would be a terrible waste. And a mistake. It would show an intolerance unworthy of any political party.

And Dog forbid anyone mention the hundreds of outstanding UN Resolutions against Israel, which they don't bother to fulfill. Bastards.
Apologists like to point out that the resos against Israel were adopted under Chapter VI and not Chapter VII.

ot, but bad news out of the dakotas:
Jul 29, 5:34 PM EDT
Dakotas at 'epicenter' of U.S. drought
By JAMES MacPHERSON
Associated Press Writer
STEELE, N.D. (AP) -- Fields of wheat, durum and barley in the Dakotas this dry summer will never end up as pasta, bread or beer. What is left of the stifled crops has been salvaged to feed livestock struggling on pastures where hot winds blow clouds of dirt from dried-out ponds. Some ranchers have been forced to sell their entire herds, and others are either moving their cattle to greener pastures or buying more already-costly feed. Hundreds of acres of grasslands have been blackened by fires sparked by lightning or farm equipment. ...
Herman Schumacher, who owns Herreid Livestock Auction in north central South Dakota, said his company is handling more sales than ever because of the drought.
In May, June and July last year, his company sold 3,800 cattle. During the same months this year, more than 27,000 cattle have been sold, he said.
"I've been in the barn here for 25 years and I can't even compare this year to any other year," Schumacher said. He said about 50 ranchers have run cows through his auction this year. "Some of them just trimmed off their herds, but about a third of them were complete dispersions - they'll never be back," he said. ...
Susie White, who runs the Lone Steer motel and restaurant in Steele, along Interstate 94, said even out-of-state travelers notice the drought. "Even I never paid attention to the crops around here. But I notice them now because they're not there," she said. "We're all wondering how we're going to stay alive this winter if the farmers don't make any money this summer," she said. http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/sto...OV&

Tony Blair has defended his decision not to call for an immediate ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah.
He said there could not be a ceasefire on both sides until "the conditions to allow that to happen" were in place.
He said it was "not correct" to say he and President Bush had not made the call because they wanted Israel to win.
Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell said the PM was taking party views into account, as it emerged Commons leader Jack Straw has criticised Israel's action.
She told BBC Radio Five Live that the prime minister had had a strong influence on diplomatic efforts to resolve the crisis and was not just following Washington's line.

The Courant says: Mr. Lieberman's history of enthusiasm for military interventions overseas is an anomaly in a man famous for mediating among warring factions in Washington. But to dismiss this moderate -- a vanishing breed in a Congress sundered by extremism on both sides -- for dissenting on a single issue would be a terrible waste. And a mistake. It would show an intolerance unworthy of any political party.
this is such a fuck'n load of crap. the 2004 election was about iraq, and so should every other election be until that fuck'n fiasco is resolved. the damage has been done, it can not be undone. it's unfair to ask democrats what there plan is to fix it, does anyone know? but fuck'n a yes, repubplicans and this lying fuck'n administration should be held accountable for the lies, the fiasco, the torture, and the needless death.

That is opposed to all liberal values? But I thought the conservatives were opposed to all liberal values? Which means, if I get this right, that the Jihadist fascism and the President of the U.S. are...on the same side?

I don't think anyone should be so liberal in deciding they don't want to consider the 'what if' scenario of a nuke strike. A nuke strike can kill how many people in one go? More than the U.S. has killed in Iraq so far? Highly doubtful.
So, what should Iraq's response be to the U.S., right now, given that we've dropped the equivalent of 10 or nuclear warheads on their country, if not more - with death, environmental and other destructions? Figure out what is the appropriate response for them, and then you have the appropriate response for us.
Back in the day they used to have this buzz phrase for it - it's no longer 'hot' to use it, but it's something about 'mutually assured destruction'.

An Israeli air strike has closed the main border crossing from Lebanon into Syria, witnesses and officials say.
Missiles hit the road between the two states' immigration posts, but on the Lebanese side, the reports said.
A separate strike wounded two UN monitors in their observation post, the UN said, days after four were killed.
US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has returned to the region for fresh talks set to focus on bringing in a larger international peace force.

trouble with your 'analysis' (stretching the point, but hey, i can be charitable) is that the 'radical islamic reaction' is in fact a fairly small fraction of the whole billion and a half or so muslims in the whole world...
but if one wanted to radicalize the rest, it would be a project of extreme hostility and aggression against the smaller fraction which would probably accomplish that.

Security has been tightened in the Democratic Republic of Congo ahead of Sunday's national elections - the first multi-party vote in 40 years.
The poll, contested by 32 presidential and 9,000 parliamentary candidates, is aimed at ending a long civil war.
The capital, where several people died this week, has returned to normal.
Diplomats told the BBC that a large shipment of heavy weapons apparently ordered by the government had been sent to the country.

The United Nations and African Union have condemned the Sudanese army and Janjaweed militias for attacking rebels in Darfur's Jebel Moon area.
They denounced the government violation of a May peace agreement and expressed concern for the safety of civilians.
This is the first time since the peace deal that the Sudanese army has been confirmed as fighting in Darfur.
The attack was against the rebel Justice and Equality Movement, (JEM) which did not sign the deal.

Israel is keeping up its offensive on Palestinian targets in the Gaza Strip, with air strikes on a suspected arms factory on Saturday.
A tunnel used by Palestinian militants was also bombed, the Israeli army said.
On Friday, the Israeli army withdrew from the area, following a two-day offensive which killed 29 Palestinians.
The renewed attacks come as Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas held brief talks with President Mubarak of Egypt to discuss proposal to end the violence

I was a little less than half serious with that comment....
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Presidential adviser Karl Rove said Saturday that journalists often criticize political professionals because they want to draw attention away from the ''corrosive role'' their own coverage plays in politics and government.
''Some decry the professional role of politics, they would like to see it disappear,'' Rove told graduating students at the George Washington University Graduate School of Political Management. ''Some argue political professionals are ruining American politics -- trapping candidates in daily competition for the news cycle instead of long-term strategic thinking in the best interest of the country.''
But Rove turned that criticism on journalists.
''It's odd to me that most of these critics are journalists and columnists,'' he said. ''Perhaps they don't like sharing the field of play. Perhaps they want to draw attention away from the corrosive role their coverage has played focusing attention on process and not substance.''
....''There are some in politics who hold that voters are dumb, ill informed and easily misled. that voters can be manipulated by a clever ad or a smart mind,'' said Rove, who is credited with President Bush's wins in the 2000 and 2004 election. ''I've seen this cynicism over the years from political professionals and journalists. American people are not policy wonks, but they have great instincts and try to do the right thing.''
Rove said it is ''wrong to underestimate the intelligence of the American voter, but easy to overestimate their interest. Much tugs at their attention.''
But he said voters are able to watch campaigns and candidates closely and ''this messy and imperfect process has produced great leaders.''

The media magnate Rupert Murdoch is expected to offer Tony Blair a senior role in his News Corporation empire when he stands down as Prime Minister.
Allies of Mr Blair insist he has made no decisions about his plans when he leaves Downing Street -- almost certainly next year. But some friends say a seat on the board of News Corp could tempt the outgoing Prime Minister, as it would dovetail neatly with the lucrative United States lecture circuit. Mr Blair's popularity at home may be waning, but he remains big box office in America. His close relationship with Mr Murdoch will be highlighted tomorrow when he addresses the annual gathering of News Corp's executives and senior journalists from around the world.

A 12-year-old boy dead on a stretcher. A mother in shock and disbelief after her son was shot dead for standing on their roof. A phone rings and a voice in broken Arabic orders residents to abandon their home on pain of death.
Those are snapshots of a day in Gaza where Israel is waging a hidden war, as the world looks the other way, focusing on Lebanon.
It is a war of containment and control that has turned the besieged Strip into a prison with no way in or out, and no protection from an fearsome battery of drones, precision missiles, tank shells and artillery rounds.

What's really funny is K-Lo trying to still suck up to Mel Gibson. It's so delusional its the cherry on top of the asshole sundae.
Even if the arrest report that's floating around the 'net holds up (including a comment to a female officer), it won't change anything about what I said about the "new feminism" that was clear and welcome in The Passion . (I thought I'd go ahead and be the first who linked to "Mel Gibson, Feminist." Sorry if I kept anyone out there from the additional glee of being first there.)

Atrios says, "Reynolds has done something similar to me a few times by suggesting that I'd advocate the nuking of Iran."
I confronted this form of opportunistic distortion as an undergraduate during the 1960's with respect to Vietnam. All the hawks were heavily into the domino theory as justification for war in Southeast Asia. You know, fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here. Logical argument was useless with them. Just as they distorted the historical, geopolitical and cultural facts of the war, so did they distort language about the war.
When the primary focus was on defeating the Soviets during the Cold War, the more radical American hawks favored a first strike. Their logic? They assumed that since nuclear war with the Soviets was unavoidable, American losses would be minimized if we attacked while the balance of power was in America's favor. Argument and debate were useless against them. Just as they had a shallow and distorted understanding of radiation and thermonuclear heat, so did they have a distorted grasp of opposing points of view. Fortunately, as has been said, cooler heads prevailed.
Apparently, they (the Reynolds types) operate on impusle, always. When reading an opposing point of view, they pounce on parts of sentences while ignoring the clarifying context. When they hear an opposing point of view, they interrupt before the thought has been completed, and attack on the basis of incomplete information and baseless assumptions.
Cravenly, they've never been impulsive about joining the troops in combat. So they have been in the past and so they remain today. Naively, I thought their ranks would decrease, not increase.

Whether it is slaughtering rhinos for their horns or Tibetan antelopes for their wool, smuggling snakes as pets or selling illegally felled hardwoods from the rainforest, the global illicit wildlife trade is now worth more than £6bn a year, making it the world's third-biggest source of criminal earnings after drugs trafficking and the arms trade.
This alarming statistic was revealed after a meeting of the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Flora and Fauna (Cites), an international pact signed by almost 200 countries and top security officials in Beijing this week.
Cites has been co-operating with Interpol to increase its effectiveness in enforcing the UN agreement to tackle the rapid decline in wildlife through over-exploitation for trade.

Lebanon war and its reasons
Im astonished by the fact that Hizbollah is right now attacking Israel. The Israelis could sharpen their swords for six years and its highly probable that they know here to hit. Thus this war raises more questions for me than it answers. Firstly this attack is executed by a force that doesnt represent a state.
I watched TV and some Arab said "Israel is the enemy." Suddenly this war is sublimed to Arab
nationalism whereas it had the "Alluha Akbar" credo for 3 weeks.
Well, as mentioned before, the Israelis know where to hit and its unprobable that they cause unnecessary civilian casualties.
Thus this sudden turn in ideology is a bit decloakin or dismantling.
Furthermore an Israeli mentioned that Hizbollah is hindering civilians from leaving the border area. So there is a certain interest in making Israel look bad thru killing civilians. Now lets look around: ho has lost image and reputation recently among the Arabs: Iran. Why should they have to proof that theyre a unifier among the Arabs? Probably because they reinforced sectarian violence in Iraq. Did they have other reasons? Yes their nuke prog. Itll surely disguide public attention from them towards the war in Lebanon.
Lets get back to this nationalism track. Somebody is trying to get national identity without having a nation. Whatfor? The fastest answer is again: Iran. Arabs will counter exterior efforts forgettin about their passports. Shortly the Iranian nuke prog. Cheap, motivated soldiers for Iran. Whats bad about this? Well first up you can burn Lebanon. The infrastructure is gone for five years. But again good for Iran: The zionists would never be able to cause similiar damage in their moolah state, I guess.
Finaaly, in times of chaos people tend to turn to more rigid ideologies. Again good for Iran.
Despite they themselves caused the conflict. But I guess theyre able to wash this small stain off thru propaganda. So waht I really dont like about this is that they try to gain integrity thru anti-integrity.
911 was sth. like this for me: Bush governed a divided nation after the election 2000 and BLIM - after 911 the country was united AGAINST somebody without caring about "normal" probs anymore
like state debt for example.
In comparison this Lebanon war is carried out by hypocrite pharisees mutants. I dont like the leader of Hizbollah calling for the extinction of Israel in his hollow fashion without providing any proper reason for the Lebanese where their advantage is. This is a war mainly fought on terms like extincting Israel without any connection to reality. Thus its highly probable that this war has its roots in Teheran.

That Graham Allison and other experts think the odds or nuclear terrorism are not small worries me. I've occassionally thought about moving a bit farther from Manhattan.
The "our actual reponse" part is what really worries me. I think part one would be that the Islamic world vanishes. I think two would be no more Bill of Rights.
