She said on July 18 she had noticed a small Mexican flag at an Hispanic grocery in the former Rogers Drug Store. She stated, "I went in and there was nothing English in the store. There was one man who could not speak a word of English." She said she was outraged about the Mexican flag, saying it was an "act of war" and it "insulted my citizenship."

Let's emphasize that again: The plot (against Americans) was foiled (while Bush was jacking off in Crawford) because a large number of people (probably like, oh, 25 or 30 suspected terrorists as opposed to millions of Americans calling their granny) were under surveillance concerning their spending, travel and communications. (With warrants and court orders, no less)
Which leads us to wonder if Scotland Yard would have succeeded if the ACLU or the New York Times had first learned the details of such surveillance programs. . . .Because, you see, terrorists make no effort to conceal their activities, since they have no fucking clue law enforcement might be tracking them unless it's spelled out in the New York Times

I'm telling Mom!
Recall, too, that the usual justification for extra- or illegal methods of fighting terrorism is something along the lines of, 'If you knew what we know, you'd agree with us, but it's classified, so you'll have to take it on faith.'
There are three things wrong with this. One is that historically, every single violation of civil liberties in wartime has in retrospect proved both regrettable and worthless, if not counterproductive, in prosecuting our cause. Second is that a democracy doesn't, or shouldn't, be so pusillanimous as to trade liberty for the illusion of security in the face of danger, or it isn't much of a democracy. Third is that anyone who takes anything on faith from the current crowd, in the face of overwhelming evidence of mendacity, incompetence, and indifference to human life, is a flaming idiot.
NTodd - I got a spam at work from "Todd Pod Cast, who is not a Quaker. I've only emailed two Atriots from work, one of whom probably emails you. It was weird.

Incompetence.

The 67-year-old Ms. Griffin should not tour the outside of the UN. She'd have a coronary.
Someone should ask Mr. Reynolds how safe our ports are and how many shipping containers are examined. And he should be asked about security at chemical and nuclear power plants. He should also be asked how the security money is split up among states so that Indiana gets more than NYC, the site of two previous attacks.
These are questions the Dems should be raising at every opportunity.

From Salon's article on Martha Gelhorn this morning:
... At war's end she adopted an infant from an Italian orphanage whom she named Sandy and moved to Mexico, then Rome, from where she watched the plague of McCarthyism squander European goodwill toward her native country. "Having spent my youth reporting on Fascism in Europe, I have a haunted sense of déjà vu, as I watch the ugly, pointless, witless process beginning at home and spreading back to Europe," she wrote to two-time Democratic candidate Adlai Stevenson. "As a new experience, [Americans abroad] realize what it is to suffer from moral shame for one's country."

Raw bacon is highly cured generally. There may be a slight risk, but considering who the patient is, I wouldn't worry greatly. If you do, call a pediatrician and ask.

probably not very. Don't really need to worry about trichinosis (sp?) anymore, but be careful if she starts vomiting and/or has diarrhea. Then it might be worth a visit to the doctor.

except for the anthrax letters.... you never hear how that investigation is going, do you?
All that uninspected mail and cargo beneath the floor of the main cabin of a jet is worrisome, too.
More to the point....did the NSA manage to zero in on and monitor the calls from the British terrorist suspects to the ones here in the states? That seems to me a very salient detail, and yet, no mention of it.
Perhaps that's because NSA was so busy sifting through all of my calls to focus in on calls from suspected terrorists to potential accomplices here.

I sent my thanks to Great Britain, as follows:
Thank you, and your nation, for foiling what seems to have been a dastardly plot on thousands of innocent air travellers' lives. Thank you further for doing so using what by all accounts is meticulous police work, over a long, patient period of time, entirely within the rule of law, utterly focussed and without any compromise of civil liberties, much less what is so often euphemisticlly called 'collateral damage.'
Once again, your nation adds something courageous, civilized and decent to a world much in need of such qualities. I doff my hat to you, and wish you the best.
I remain, yours sincerely, (ProfWombat)

A quick blogwhore before the beach.
BTW, anyone else read that article in the Times about Lieberman's second go?
Grrr....
Rah-rah-raj. Now shut up and get back to work, yer pint-side pooh-bahs.
Glenn Greenwald nails it:
In their zeal to imprison Jim Risen and the New York Times editors responsible for disclosure of the NSA warrantless eavesdropping program, Bush followers continuously claimed that this disclosure somehow alerted terrorists to the fact that we were eavesdropping on their conversations (as though they were not aware of that before) and that, as a result, we have now lost the ability to monitor their conversations. Now that they know we are eavesdropping, so this "reasoning" goes, they will not use telephones to talk to each other any more.
And yet, here was a major plot foiled because the terrorist plotters were using telephones to communicate about their plans -- and using banking systems to wire money -- all of which law enforcement could track within the law. This whole episode potently illustrates just how inane are the claims that the Times' NSA story (and its SWIFT disclosures) would endanger national security. Terrorists already knew full well that we monitor their telephone conversations and banking transactions, and they knew that before the New York Times "told" them so. But in order to plan terrorist attacks, terrorists must communicate with one another and send money to each other. Somehow, the Times' story did not prevent us from eavesdropping on all of these conversations. That's because the Times stories -- as has been evident from the beginning -- told terrorists nothing which they could use to avoid detection.
Only Bush followers could point to a successful law enforcement operation which, by all appearances, complied with the law, and try to use it to argue how necessary it is that the law be broken. That is the central myth at the heart of the Bush desire for increased authoritarian measures -- that there is a forced choice between protection from terrorist threats and the rule of law.
Every time the "liberal" media prints information about another secret Bush program that violates civil rights, the folks who piss their pants over the Islamofascistboogeymaneekundermybed threat scream that such disclosures aid and abet the enemy.
Otherwise, the terrorists would only read the NYT to find out how to get tickets for "Cats".

The latter two are potentially more dangerous as the bacon has been cured (meat cooked form the smoking process) with salt. The salt retards bug growth.
Raw burger and raw steak do not have that advantage.
RE: Democratic Senators endorsing Lieberman:
I lay this at the feet of the Senate and House Democratic leaders. It should have been made explicitly clear that anyone endorsing a candidate running against a Democratic nominee would result in revocation of committee seats, cutting off of campaign funds, etc etc. Now that the cat's out of the bag, it's too late.
Worse yet, one of my senators (who, honestly, though I know him I've never had much use for him) is one of the ones who wandered off the reservation. I'm going to get on that today and send him a letter about it including the Zogby poll info showing that 79% of Democrats disagree with him.
There is a time and place for enforcing party loyalty. This is that time and place.

Dave: thanks for the Greenwald cite. Like he said. I'd go further, as Greenwald has elsewhere: it's not just about fighting terrorism, it's about power, the suppression of dissent and the glee with which our liberties are being compromised by these bastards. The other day, Mitt Romney was quoted, as others have been, as saying something to the effect that the ultimate liberty is to be alive, and that other liberties must therefore be compromised. Such a statement offers not only a false choice, as the Brits have shown, but one devoid of courage and honor.
Jon Carroll, sfgate.com
>i?While the whole thing was going on, I did not understand the excitement over the Ned Lamont-Joe Lieberman battle for the Democratic nomination for senator in Connecticut. If Lamont won, it would prove that the Democrats in the Northeast are unhappy about the war in Iraq, and I think we know that already.
Also, Lieberman comes across as one of the most oleaginous, self- satisfied politicians in the nation, and that is a very vigorous competition. His decision to run as an independent confirms that view. It's all about Joe Lieberman. If a Republican gets the seat because Lieberman splits the vote, swell, because Joe Lieberman will have been heard,,,,

Moon, what the reaction among the folks you know in Britain to the bombing jets plot?
watertiger,
re that NYT article ... Just remember that the NYT has the script and that they had to go out and find people to speak the words in the script. It may be that Lamont will lose, but the NYT knew what it wanted to write before the presses started running.
Hey, I took that poll!
More Carroll:
The other major story to come out of the Lamont campaign was the influence of bloggers, particularly a small cadre of anti-war bloggers who vigorously supported Lamont. I was annoyed by the usurpation of bandwidth by the Lamont story because some of my favorite morning reads -- www.dailykos.com, www.atrios.blogspot.com, www.talkingpointsmemo.com -- became heavily involved in the minutiae of the campaign, and a lot of other stories just got lost. Throw in the attention paid to the Mel Gibson nonstory -- really, the anti-Semites of significance these days are the ones running entire nations, like President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran -- and you've got a less colorful and diverse blogosphere.
Or such is my impression. The Web is a big place, and it's impossible to read everything. Somewhere someone is being the smartest person on the planet, but if I don't know his URL, I'm not going to know about it. Blogs are far less repetitious than dead-tree media, which are in turn far less repetitious than electronic media. Blogs serve niches. But still, as the blogosphere evolves, some bloggers become heavy hitters, like network anchorpeople or reporters with the New York Times. The human urge to hierarchy prevails, and people who think of themselves as lonely truth tellers with a keyboard and a server become opinionmakers, and their role in the discourse changes.
It is not clear that bloggers had much real impact on the Connecticut primary, but they're a new wild card in the political process, and that makes them a story. I have always appreciated the fierce independence of bloggers, and I fear that, as they accumulate influence, they'll be co-opted in the classic capitalist way. (As soon as bloggers really influence elections, Rupert Murdoch will begin buying them by the long ton.)....

Well, typically; W tried to snatch credit away from MI-5 and the Metro Police and give it to Yanks, but I don't think it flew. The British Muslims I have seen on TV have been uniformly heart-sick. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
UK rejects foreign policy link to attack threat
LONDON (Reuters) - The British government on Saturday rejected as "dangerous and foolish" accusations that its foreign policy heightened the threat of terrorist attacks after police foiled a plot to blow up transatlantic airliners.
In an open letter to British Prime Minister Tony Blair, British Muslim groups and politicians said his policies on issues like Iraq and the Israel-Hizbollah war were putting civilians at increased risk in Britain and elsewhere.
Thirteen months after four British Islamist suicide bombers killed 52 people on London's transport system, British Muslims fear they are being demonized because of extremist militants.
"We urge the prime minister to redouble his efforts to tackle terror and extremism and change our foreign policy," said the letter, whose signatories included six politicians from Blair's Labour Party.
Ruth: it looks similar to the laptop charger, to me, but how do I get one that works? and how can I tell?
You still have the old charger, right?
You can order a new one from Compaq, most likely. The charger will have a part number.
Or, you can take it to Radio Shack, show them the label that has the output specs on it, and they can probably fix you up.
The cell phone charger is almost certainly not of a sufficient output current rating to charge/power a notebook PC. Even assuming the voltage, polarity and size of the plug were all the same (which we really canNOT), the lack of its ability to supply enough current (plus all the other things we don't know) could be dangerous to your PC at a minimum, and on the ugly side of thangs, could start a fire. Please don't try this at home!

Pt Adm Tim:
I found Gellhorn's talk of moral shame for the USA's McCarthyism in the wake of WW II moving, but remarkably free of historical perspective or recognition that it'd all happened before--the Palmer Raids after WWI come to mind--and that, indeed, educated Americans have never lacked for things about which to feel ashamed of the country.
Muslim reaction: 'This is sad. I'm afraid for the community. I do hope they're innocent. I do hope'
Asif Khan paid little attention to the two police officers guarding the entrance to the Totteridge Road mosque as its 150-strong congregation made its way to Friday prayers.
The mosque, in a dingy office block overlooking High Wycombe's railway station, was visited regularly by four of the six men arrested by anti-terrorism officers in this affluent Buckinghamshire town in the early hours of Wednesday.
Such was the fear of a backlash yesterday on Islam's day of prayer that one man deliberately left his sons - aged eight and 10 - at home. A police statement handed out to worshippers explained that the uniformed constables outside were not there in search of evidence but to dissuade what one officer described as "white lager louts" intent on fanning racist sentiment.

There may be a little lagniappe in the UK uncovering the liquid explosive plot.
Should Bush actually be impeached (and I think his outright violation of the FISA provisions ought to do it, even though there is much else), a likely defense would be "We had to." But clearly, as the UK experience shows, he didn't have to.
(Lagniappe, n. LAN-yap. Creole New Orleans. A little extra thrown in by a merchant as a thank you for doing business with him or her. Akin to the thirteenth in a baker's dozen. E.g., a shoe salesman might throw an extra pair of shoelaces into the box of your new shoes, saying "That's for lagniappe.")

If that fuckwit Lieberman hasn't dropped out of the race by the time the Senate returns to 'work' in September, then Reid and the Democrats MUST: 1) strip NoMoJo of ALL his committee assignments, 2) change ALL the passwords to vital party files or records, and prohibit NoMoJo ANY access, 3) Dismiss ALL NoMoJo's aides and strip his office of all material support (except Franking privileges, which are exempt), and 4) move his fucking desk into his parking slot in the Senate Garage...
they GOTTA slap that fucker around, hard, if he doesn't play by the rules...

Although it appears that Scotland Yard complied with wiretapping laws in successfully stopping a terror attack, and compliance with FISA still allows us to effectively combat terrorism, the ACLU is focused on killing us all for their own nefarious purposes.

steve,
Reynolds claims the British bust proves the need for extraconstitutional powers, despite the fact that the British police had warrants.
found Gellhorn's talk of moral shame for the USA's McCarthyism in the wake of WW II moving, but remarkably free of historical perspective or recognition that it'd all happened before--
Um - Gellhorn was speaking of events within her direct experience - certainly permissible. It isn't necessary to always couch opinions within any other context.
Blair ponders return as Muslims hit out
Tony Blair has been warned by leading British Muslims that the Iraq war and the UK's failure to use its influence to end Israeli attacks on civilians are fuelling extremism at home. Their views are set out in a letter as a full-page advertisement in newspapers.
The letter warns: "The debacle of Iraq and now the failure to do more to secure an immediate end to the attacks on civilians in the Middle East not only increases the risk to ordinary people in that region, it is also ammunition to extremists who threaten us all."
It was signed by three of the four Muslim MPs - Sadiq Khan, Shahid Malik and Mohammed Sarwar - as well as three of the four Muslim members of the House of Lords - Lord Patel of Blackburn, Lord Ahmed of Rotherham and Baroness Uddin. It was also backed by 38 Muslim groups, including the Muslim Council of Britain, the Muslim Association of Britain, the British Muslim Forum and the British Muslim Forum.

I remember the good ol' days, when most everything that required an AC adapter (which provides DC to the device, usually) would have a diode in the circuit right behind the power input jack, to prevent damage if someone connected an adapter which fit, but was polarity-reversed. I'm not sure notebook manufacturers do this, nowadays...

I know the feeling.
I think.
A cease fire works best when it is the combatants that actually work out the cease fire.
Molly - for some reason, you're reminding me of this Wolf Parade song this morning.
A cease fire also works better when the combatants actually want to stop fighting...
Fox News was fully engorged with the news of a "last minute peace deal" last night- except it was 26 days too late, didn't do anything to stop the gleeful destruction of Lebanese infrastructure, etc. etc. etc.
But surely on the news today, it will be something like "Hezbollah continues to fight despite a peace deal." How did that Israeli tank get 30km into the country? Who's to say? Whistling...

Indeed, how does "anti-screw-up" or "anti-fascist" or "pro-democracy" or, hell...how about "rule of law candidate?"
That would be something, wouldn't it? A stab at the old "law & order" label used by Republicans back in the day (code for keeping the minorites in their place).
Anyone got the ear of a political consultant? Plant this meme and let it spread. Evetytime an interviewer says "anti-war condidate," you have your candadte respond, "I'm a rule-of-law candidate," and have him proceed to list the broken laws she or he would insist be obeyed by this administration.

Castro walking and being briefed: official daily
HAVANA (Reuters) - Cuban President Fidel Castro is walking, talking and being briefed, according to a cryptic statement published Saturday in the Communist Party daily, Granma, a day before the "Maximum Leader's" 80th birthday.
"Someone who visited the comandante a few hours ago to brief him on certain matters ... said he witnessed how the head of the revolution, after receiving a little physical therapy, walked in the room and later, sitting in a chair, engaged in an animated conversation," Granma said.
Going good, ProfW; GWPDA sent me some lovely chiles this week, and the task she has today--roasting, peeling, seeding and storing, has been accomplished here. It's a fine cool morning, and I'm feeling fine. How's by you?

This seems to be to still be playing defense -- they have defined the issue that is to be debated, which they have condensed to whether or not progressives/dems/libs are objectively pro-al Qaeda.
We have to define the issues that actually matter to people, and hammer those. Unpossible to ignore terra-terra-terra, of course, but I think Lamont did well in tying Operation Enduring Clusterfuck to lack of interest in domestic policy.
Ah, poop, in my desire for inclusive pronouns, I left a lone "him" in there.
I wish grammarians would just approve the use of "them" to indicate "her or him," they for "he or she," and so on (otherwise known as The Pronoun Game, played often by gays in mixed company trying to to avoid revealing their identity to possibly hostile people).
As I unnerstan it, both Olmert and Siniora have agreed to the resolution, Lebanon's Parliament has as well, and Israel's will take it up tomorrow. It ain't much, but at least W is no longer blocking it completely.
NTodd--great entry on your blog (linked at 10:27AM, for those reading bottom to top, which is what I often do when I come in late....).
Send this to the Pentagon and Homeland Security (sic)--they need some alternative views.

It's the opposite of allowing the Free Market to fix everything...
Depends on your perspective. I was working at a law firm while taking a civ pro class from a professor who was teaching us we couldn't do what I was doing at work. Had I not been actually doing it, I might have believed him.
Prof, glad to hear the wife's improved and the kids are themselves. That's how it should be.
No, I did not do well in civ pro. Not in law school anyway. Outside law school, well . . .
Because administrative courts are, like, the government. And the government is, like, totally gay and stuff.

Rule of Law Candidate --
That elected officials are sworn to uphold the Constitution of the United States, including the responsibility to check and be checked by the other two branches of government.
That when elected officials mislead or ignore the checks of co-equal branches of government, they be held accountable.
That those who fail to uphold their check and balances obligations are subject to investigation and to the will of the people to vote them and their enablers out of office.

...this disclosure somehow alerted terrorists to the fact that we were eavesdropping on their conversations (as though they were not aware of that before) and that, as a result, we have now lost the ability to monitor their conversations.
I'll call your bluff!!
If "we have now lost the ability to monitor their conversations", then scrap the surveillance.
If not, justify it.
Letters like ProfWombat's excellent one could go to the British press as well, with copies to the White House.
Oh hell. Now you've done it. Mr. Reynolds is going to stop by and threaten to slap us all with his cock.
