Janice Karpinski interview translated:
Q: Why do you think things got worse with the arrival of the civilian contractor interrogators?
A: These interrogators had previous experience in Afghanistan and/or Guantanamo, and they were sent by Miller to participate in the interrogations. They didn’t care about the law; they worked in a lawless environment.
Q: Why do you think the orders to practice torture came from all the way up?
A: Because I saw a memorandum signed by Donald Rumsfeld concerning the use of these interrogation methods. The handwritten signature was over his printed name, and in the same handwriting, in the margin, it said: “Make sure that this is carried out.” The methods consisted of forcing the prisoners to remain standing for a long time, disturbing their sleep and their eating patterns, play music as loud as possible, make them feel uncomfortable in their surroundings… Rumsfeld authorized those specific techniques.
Q: Why do you want to testify against Rumsfeld in this trial?
A: I don’t have anything against Rumsfeld. The thing is, I believe that the people who should have shouldered the responsibility for what has happened, haven’t done so. It’s bad to accuse others of something, but to accuse somebody else while knowing he has no blame, while you’re getting away from that responsibility… That, for me, is a sign of cowardice, and that is what I think Sanchez, Rumsfeld and all the others are: cowards. I’m going to keep telling what I know, because the whole world, not just the Americans, has to know what happened, so that it won’t happen again.
Q: Have you received any pressure to not testify?
A: I received an e-mail from someone in the Justice Department, who vividly advised me not to testify, because some might consider it anti-American, and because I wasn’t helping Rumsfeld. I answered that nobody is going to silence me, because I’m protected by the Constitution, and besides, it’s not like Rumsfeld or Sanchez or Miller have done anything to help me. http://mediaprima.com/nv1962/

Mark Danner in Salon:
It is unlikely that the Pentagon's vision of a rapid departure ever could have worked, Bremer or no Bremer. What is striking, however, is the way that the most momentous of decisions were taken in the most shockingly haphazard ways, with the power in the hands of a few Pentagon civilians who knew little of Iraq or the region, the expertise of the rest of the government almost wholly excluded, and the President and his highest officials looking on. In the event, the Bush administration seems to have worked hard to turn Kennan's problem of knowing the facts on its head: the systemic failures in Iraq resulted in large part from an almost willful determination to cut off those in the government who knew anything from those who made the decisions.

Whisk together the flour, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and salt, then whisk the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, being careful to whisk out any lumps. Stir in the melted butter. Prepare the cones according to the manufacturer's directions on your waffle cone maker. (Waffle cones can also be found at most supermarkets.)
Fill the bottom of the cone with some stuffing. Stick pieces of turkey into the stuffing around the inside of the cone. Place a small scoop of mashed potatoes on top. Cover with gravy and some cranberry sauce. Sprinkle the pistachios over the top." http://www.foodnetwork.com/food/

Toast the chilies in a dry frying pan, tear off the stems and shake out the seeds. Tear them into pieces and pit into a bowl with hot water to cover and soak for 30 minutes. Put the turkey pieces into a large, heavy pan, cover with cold, salted water and simmer, covered for 1 hour. Drain, reserving the stock. Pat the turkey pieces dry with paper towels. Heat the oil in a large frying pan and saute the turkey pieces, a few at a time, until lightly browned on both sides. Transfer to a large flame proof casserole, reserving the oil. In a food processor combine the onions, garlic, half of the sesame seeds, the fresh coriander, the tortilla or toast, the tomatoes, the almonds, raisins, cloves, cinnamon, coriander seeds and peppercorns and chillies and process to a coarse puree. If necessary do this in batches. Heat oil remaining in the frying pan, adding 1 tablespoon if necessary and cook the puree, stirring, for 5 minutes. Add 2 cups of the reserved turkey broth, the chocolate broken into pieces, and salt if necessary. Cook, stirring, over very low heat until the chocolate has melted. The sauce should be quite thick. Pour the sauce over the turkey pieces in the casserole and cook over the lowest possible heat for 30 minutes. Just before serving sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds. Serve with tamales or with hot tortillas, and guacamole.
(Using Hershey's chocolate bars with almonds works very well. Serving over rice works very nicely too. Also, with leftover turkey, just make the mole and add the cooked turkey later.)

Jeff changed the oil in the scooter, today. It was easy, and messy, and fun!
Jeff had to use the thinkbone, 'cause after the old oil was drained, he realized two things: 1.) The oil fill was perched at an odd angle, centimeters from the glowing hot exhaust manifold; 2.) no available funnel.
What did Jeff do to get his $6/qt. synthoil into the crankcase?
you know, that leftover turkey wasn't bad. granted, wasn't as anything grand as your guys' recipes.

We were fux delux drinking tequila and all and got to hollering at the Aggie band as we thought they were a bunch of militaristic pussies. Needless to say, a lot of other folks joined in and the authorities came over and quietened us down, so to speak.

MICHAEL WARE, CNN CORRESPONDENT (last night): Well, firstly, let me say, perhaps it's easier to deny that this is a civil war, when essentially you live in the most heavily fortified place in the country within the Green Zone, which is true of both the prime minister, the national security adviser for Iraq and, of course, the top U.S. military commanders. However, for the people living on the streets, for Iraqis in their homes, if this is not civil war, or a form of it, then they do not want to see what one really looks like.
This is what we're talking about. We're talking about Sunni neighborhoods shelling Shia neighborhoods, and Shia neighborhoods shelling back.
We're having Sunni communities dig fighting positions to protect their streets. We're seeing Sunni extremists plunging car bombs into heavily-populated Shia marketplaces. We're seeing institutionalized Shia death squads in legitimate police and national police commando uniforms going in, systematically, to Sunni homes in the middle of the night and dragging them out, never to be seen again.
I mean, if this is not civil war, where there is, on average, 40 to 50 tortured, mutilated, executed bodies showing up on the capital streets each morning, where we have thousands of unaccounted for dead bodies mounting up every month, and where the list of those who have simply disappeared for the sake of the fact that they have the wrong name, a name that is either Sunni or Shia, so much so that we have people getting dual identity cards, where parents cannot send their children to school, because they have to cross a sectarian line, then, goodness, me, I don't want to see what a civil war looks like either if this isn't one.

I just returned from seeing the new movie “Bobby” about RFK. It was a very rich, textured movie, and one that left me with an incredibly empty feeling. I wasn’t around back then, but from what I can tell as an amateur student of history and political junkie is that, at least at the end of his life, RFK managed to inspire people; to make them feel like the day-to-day issues they faced were finally being confronted by the political Establishment; and to let them know that politics could be an arena where citizens - regular citizens - could be part of something larger than themselves. He did this by using the celebrity power that came with his family name to shine a bright light on the taboos the Establishment back then and now would rather sweep under the rug: war and economic inequality.
those were Sirota's words. I, too, saw "Bobby" last night and was moved to tears by his words (his speeches are shown throughout the movie) and the news footage too).
RFK and MLK were my idols - no question!! they inspired me - they had a profound influence on my life and continue to when you think about it.
But I had the same question coming out of the theatre that Sirota asks - Where is the next Bobby Kennedy?

I'm increasingly attracted to the idea of hijacking the next Yearly Kos: we let them do the organizing, for the hotels, etc., then just rent a room at a good bar and meet there and have fun and get boozed.
Such a plan is in keeping with the overall ethics of the blog, which as far as I can see involves having as much fun as possible while creatively insulting wingnuts & helping good people get elected without all the massive dickery usually involved in that sort of thing. And, uh, getting boozed.

She needs to recheck the print options and make sure the scaling isn't set wonky.
Also paper size. She might have set it to print to a certain paper size and it might be scaling to print on a 4 x 6 or something.

From the Apple Help panel:
Open the document.
Choose File > Page Setup.
Choose Page Attributes from the Setting pop-up menu.
Choose Any Printer from the Format For pop-up menu. This ensures that your document can print on any printer that supports the paper size you select.
Type a percentage in the Scale box. (If you want to enlarge the printout, type a value greater than 100. To reduce the printout, type a value less than 100.)
Click OK.

Not the Senate, almost certainly. I don't know of anyone right now who has that kind of charisma and power. Certainly no one who is that young. Maybe it will be a woman, when it happens again. And it might not be someone in electoral politics. Whoever it is will have to hold together a coalition, our politics is fragmented and the key to success is to hold different groups together.

Bobby was not without a streak of pure SOB... inherited from his father, perhaps. He had worked for Joe McCarthy and Roy Cohn and tangled with Jimmy Hoffa before he was thirty-five.
This is not to gainsay the person he became... but he was no starry-eyed idealist, to say the least.

kosfest was kinda dull, during the day at least. it was like a cross between every undergrad seminar, peace rally, and activist meeting i've ever been to. lots of talk, a couple of "big name" speakers, a slew of chatting, funky, interesting people...but i'm not sure what we accomplished other than a lot of intertube networking. sorry if that sounds harsh, but several months out of it, i can't see it had a purpose beyond telling the nonblogging world what we already knew: the blogosphere would have a major impact on the 06 elections. we did. perhaps kosvegas energized some to better understand their power, but to me, it was pretty much a love in.
which of course, is fine. and fun.
if atriots want to crash, i say: skip the daytime stuff unless you're jonesing for a chair circle discussion about feminism and internet; otherwise, crash the pm parties and find out where the free food will be at. chicago atriots can tell us where to go from there...

Yeah, I think it may be a plan.
Organizing one of these things is a bitch. When NYM did it for Philly, with the assist from Vicki, it was a lot of work. Why not outsource it?
Midwestern Atriots who can't/won't attend YK could also have fun just motoring in for the Atriot stuff.
I also have to admit that I'd have even more fun with this if we don't bother to tell the Kos people what we're up to.

No doubt Pelosi understands that she, the Congressional Black Caucus and the new Democratic Congress will hear mocking laughter from all sides if they turn HPSCI over to Hastings. They may mumble about the possibility that the FBI crime lab compromised the evidence against him, or claim that they now worry about the fairness of his impeachment trial. Weighed against their own votes to impeach and convict him, and against their promises to clean up the corrupt Congress, those claims will count for nothing. The chairmanship of a select committee is not an entitlement, and grave doubts about the integrity of Hastings should disqualify him.

I got the christ part for sure: some people believe it's this guy Jesus' birthday. The 'mas' I guessed might come from 'mass' which is what the church service is called, but I wasn't sure.
She's been brainwashed enough by me that she said, "I don't believe in him." I said, "Well, he could've been a real person. And it could've been his birthday. But some people believe that he's their savior."

Sissies.
BRAIN BALLS
1 calf's brain
yolk of 1 egg, raw
1 tsp. flour
1 tsp. chopped parsley
"as much salt as will lie on a shilling"
black or Cayenne pepper
Boil brains for ten minutes, and put them into cold water. When they are quite cold put into a mortar with the yelk of a raw egg, a tea-spoonful of flour, same of chopped parsley, as much salt as will lie on a shilling, and a little black pepper, or Cayenne; rub them well together, roll them into small balls (as they swell in boiling); boil them a couple of minutes.
--The Cook's Oracle by William Kitchiner M. D., J.& J Harper, New York, 1832
Note this is Kitchiner's opinion, not my own, which quite agrees with yours jello. Nowadays anyone who eats neural tissue from anything, particularly any mammal, is taking a hideous risk. But squirrels were the subject from earlier.

i'm not a fan, but really: is there a difference between eating the intestinal skin, brains, thighs, heart or rump of an animal? you're eating flesh, after all. what kind you like best is up to you. i love roe, for example, and i love mignon. i also love gravy, which i make from scratch from boiled innards. and then there are eggs. as i recently heard in a movie: "shot straight from a chicken's ass!" except, they're not...it's "worse."
if you eat animal protein, you eat flesh. blood. guts. parts. whatever. if you don't, you don't. as my mother says: we're omnivores. we've got teeth to rip flesh apart, and teeth to grind down plant fiber. we're meant to be flexible, in our eating habits, the better to survive. obviously, it's helped. what any person chooses in a modern (you don't hunt/grow/kill/process your own food) age chooses is completely arbitrary. what you eat is what you eat, what it means is ideology.

1. The minimum wage is so far below market wages for the vast majority of workers that an increase is unlikely to make any real difference
So by this we're to assume that a 30% difference in your wages would make no difference at all (assuming you work, which is a large assumption).
Give me your boss' name and number, I'm sure he'd like to know where he can cut back without any whining....

Not so much debunked as anthropologists started wondering how the fuck that one got started. It's still accepted as "common knowledge", even though there was never a single confirmed case of funerary cannibalism amongst the Fore.

Moreover, in what universe did the Democrats win election by nudging towards the center? The Dems ran on universal health care, fair-trade agreements, closing the Medicare D donut hole, standing up to the pharmaceutical and energy industries, and ending the war in Iraq. Of all the planks of the winning Democratic campaign platform, about the only centrist things they ran on were cutting interest rates on student loans and raising the minimum wage. Those aren't really centrist planks, they are more like consensus planks that have the potential to gain Republican support.
---
So now people like George Miller, John Conyers, Barney Frank, et al., are going to 'destabilize' the Democratic Party? We just had 12 years in the wilderness running on centrist crap like school uniforms, experimenting with school vouchers, mending affirmative action, punitive welfare reform, ending bankruptcy protections, NAFTA, GATT, CAFTA, the effing lockbox, etc. What did it get us but 12 years in the wilderness?
---
You'd think we spent all that time in the minority because Clinton tried to get health care for everyone and stop bigotry against gays in the military. It's like triangulation never happened. We lost in 1994 because of what we were before 1994, not because of what we were after it. And we lost after 1994 because of what we were after it, not because of what we were before it.
---
Bill Clinton wanted to save his own ass, that is why he ran to the center. The party followed him into the abyss, abandoning populist politics and with it, any appeal to the lower middle class.
Clinton's centrism left the south free of Democrats. We have made up for it in some of the northern suburbs, but that has been greatly aided by the fundamentalist lurch of the GOP.
----
Jim Webb and Jon Tester ran populist campaigns and won. Harold Ford ran a centrist campaign and lost. That's the lesson folks. Who do you think Jon Tester has more in common with? Joe Lieberman and Harold Ford or George Miller and Russ Feingold?
Idiots.

It was seeing animals slaughtered on the farm for me. I could see it was brutal and cruel and I didn't want any part of it.
i had the opposite reaction. i think perhaps because i loved grandpa so much, and he carefully explained it to me, as tears welled up in my eyes to see the cows slaughtered. he avoided most of the biblical language, but told me of our duty as 'husbands of the earth' and keepers of the lesser animals. i was given to understand that it was more humane to slaughter a cow in a quick, human fashion (we cut throats) after an easy, carefree life, than to let it starve most its life only to be mauled to death after being chased down by wolves.
that could be total bullshit, but to this day, it's how i think of farming/ranching. the vast majority of the herd lives on another day, and we only take what we need, and kill them quickly and cleanly, and without waste or malice. at least, that's how it was on our ranch/farm. industrial farms don't count.

So some of this may be semantics? Since I have to admit in rereading some of the funerary rituals I guess technically they could be called cannibalistic, but it's not what I'd called cannibalistic. If that makes any sense whatsoever.

They did bone-breaking. Looks pretty gruesome and involves handling the tissues. A ritual evoking cannibalism, but no ingestion.
JR, kerosene and a match | 11.25.06 - 10:23 pm
If what I've read is to believed, it's more than bone-breaking. And from what I understand of prion diseases, it would take more than just contact to get infected.
Do have reading recommendations? (My mom died of CJD, so there is a personal interest in getting the latest and most accurate info)
And on that happy and uplifting note, I'm taking my glass of victory champagne and going to bed.

Pixies are said to enjoy playing tricks on people, for example by stealing their belongings or throwing things at them. At night, they steal horses and bring them back before dawn, leaving only tangled manes as evidence of the prank. Some pixies are said to exude pixie dust, which is left in their footprints or floating behind them as they fly.
Just a small note: Fairy folk are also known to steal horses and return them with tangled manes, as in the book, "An Earthly Knight" written by Janet McNaughton. Though fairies and pixies have a lot in common, they are not, as commonly mistaken, the same thing.
On Dartmoor, in Devon, travellers who became lost on the moor were sometimes said to have been "pixie led", in other words, deliberately led astray by the little people. It is said that, if travellers felt the onset of the pixie spell, they can turn their coats inside out to confuse them and escape, a technique normally used for all fairies.
Pixies can also be repelled by objects made from iron or iron ore as contact with the metal is said to harm them, another trait they share in common with other fairies of the British Isles.
Those who deliberately follow pixies often vanish without a trace. For example, a farmhand at Rowbrook, situated on the steep, wooded flanks of the River Dart valley, is said to have been lured down towards the river by mysterious voices, calling his name: ‘Jan Coo.’ He was never seen again.
Even within living memory, some rural families left small gifts, such as bowls of food or saucers of milk, for the pixies in order to placate them. When shown this respect and attention, pixies would sometimes even help the family by tidying up the household during the night.

It's passed in the feces and picked up while grazing, I think I've read. Deer get what is assumed to be a prion based form of spongeforme encephalopathy, a lot of herbivores do.

SELF DEFENSE!!!
For thousands of years, the NYPD have been forced to move from country to country, constantly attacked by everyone. The only answer is to allow the NYPD to have their own state -- say, Manhattan -- and allow them to do whatever they gotta do to secure that state. Which they will call Beschmoikansas.

I'll have to check the database to see if I can access that one. IIRC, not all prions diseases are the same, or are as easy or as hard to acquire. Scrapie can possibly be spread by grooming, human prion disease may be still harder to transmit.
And while there is a genetic component, it might not be for the same thing. Fatal Familial insomnia is certainly genetic, but I've not seen any real evidence that CJD is.
Of course, there's so much more out there that they don't know.

Waxman's biggest challenge as he mulls what to probe?
"The most difficult thing will be to pick and choose," he said. The choices he makes could help define Bush's legacy.
"There is just no question that life is going to be different for the administration," said Rep. Tom Davis, R-Va., the current committee chairman. "Henry is going to be tough. ... And he's been waiting a long time to be able to do this."
Probe sought in police shooting of woman
By BILL MONTGOMERY
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 11/24/06
An Atlanta civil rights activist is calling for a federal investigation into the fatal shooting by Atlanta police of a 92-year-old woman during a drug raid at the woman's home.
Police contend they wanted to search Kathryn Johnston's house because an undercover drug purchase had been made there earlier on Tuesday, the day of the shooting. Johnston wounded three officers, emptying a six-shot revolver before being shot to death, police said.
The Rev. Markell Hutchins, the civil rights activist, said he will deliver a letter to the Justice Department on Monday urging the agency to investigate "what we believe are at worst, gross violations of this woman's life, and at best, poor judgment on the part of the police officers."
Hutchins said he talked Friday morning with police Chief Richard Pennington, who was out of town when the shootout occurred.
"His officers should have known at a minimum who was living in that residence before they went in there with guns blazing," Markell said.
Johnston was a frail woman who lived behind burglar bars at a home owned by her niece.
Police contend they obtained a no-knock search warrant for the Neal Street house after buying drugs Tuesday afternoon from a man inside the home.
neighbors say the 92 year old woman was a shut in and would not let anyone, even neighbors bringing her groceries, into the house so they doubt accounts of some phantom man selling drugs from inside. police insist it is the same house but had not, last i knew, released a copy of the search warrant.

Local attorney preps for huge case
Lawsuit for Plame, Wilson could be Joe Cotchett's biggest action yet
BURLINGAME— Joe Cotchett has been involved in a host of high-profile cases, but the one set to begin early next year may end up dwarfing them all.
The Burlingame-based attorney is the lead trial lawyer in the civil lawsuit filed by ex-CIA officer Valerie Plame Wilson and her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson IV, against Vice President Dick Cheney, his former chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby, presidential adviser Karl Rove and former Deputy Secretary of Defense Richard Armitage. ...
At his office last week, Cotchett picked up a 5-inch- thick binder that he had just received from the defendants in the case. It contained motions to dismiss the lawsuit based on executive privilege. ...
Cotchett said the public may never learn how much damage was done to U.S. intelligence operations by the revelation of Plame's identity. At the time her cover was blown, she was reportedly working on counter-proliferation issues related to Iraq and the Middle East.
"Think of all the people all around the world who were in meetings with her, who are now wondering whether they were photographed with her, whether their lives are in jeopardy," Cotchett said.
A judge for the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia will hear the defendants' motion to dismiss in early February, said Cotchett, who acknowledged that defeating the motion will be a challenge. But the former Army Special Forces colonel will make it as difficult as possible for his opponents to avert a trial. ...
Much of Cotchett's reputation stems from a case he brought against Lincoln Savings and Loan in the early 1990s on behalf of more than 20,000 pensioners. He won a judgment for $3.3 billion, an amount that was later reduced to $1.75 billion. He also won verdicts of more than $200 million in the 1980s related to the collapse of Technical Equities Corp. of San Jose. http://www.insidebayarea.com/san...news/

there is no global warming - scientists are sure things will start cooling off in 2040.
also, no fuel shortage. i'm pretty sure we will discover an unlimited supply in december 2037.
nice to know pollution was a liberal hoax - lake erie almost never catches fire anymore.

Johnston wounded three officers, emptying a six-shot revolver before being shot to death, police said.
Which is worse: killing a nonagenarian, or doing so after she draws blood?

...this; (Haloscan approved version)
On the twelveth day of Xmas, my Intern gave to me
Twelve new appointments
Eleven nipple-rubs
Ten visitors waiting
Nine shots of cleavage
Eight sharpened pencils
Seven buttock pinches
Six "while you were out"s
Fiiiiive knowing loooooks
Four stacks of mail
Three broad winks
Two urgent memos
And a blowjob in the hallway

Police contend they obtained a no-knock search warrant for the Neal Street house after buying drugs Tuesday afternoon from a man inside the home.
A no-knock search warrant.
Loverly. If someone breaks into my house I'm shooting first and asking questions later.

An Atlanta civil rights activist is calling for a federal investigation into the fatal shooting by Atlanta police of a 92-year-old woman during a drug raid at the woman's home.
Did I mention that PBS is re-airing "Eyes on the Prize"?

Actually, the Earth is not warming..it is cooling already..
Yeah, I love how you link to an opinion column by a geologist, rather than, say...all the stories this year about NASA data showing global warming is real and stuff.
Sorry, charlie, the consensus is that there is global warming. Why are you so invested in denying it?

we only take what we need, and kill them quickly and cleanly, and without waste or malice.
Those should be the most basic rules for all carnivores. No exceptions.

Actually, the Earth is not warming..it is cooling already..
an opinion piece in the telegraph? please. i'll with all the scientists and nobel prize winners.
...and there is enough oil for hundreds of years...
then what are we so worried about? glad you cleared that up - maybe you should give george and dick a call so they stop worrying.
...and it was the Cuyahoga River that caught fire...not Lake Erie..
actually, that's true. the cuyahoga is a tributary of lake erie which is where the fire actually occured. people in my neck of the woods (buffalo, ny at the time) generally just refer to it as the erie fire because most of the country had never heard of the cuyahoga. however, the cause was certainly industrial pollution, which has since been cleaned up thanks to a treaty between the us and canada. liberal environmental policies in action - it is possible to make a difference. just waiting because someone says "oh, the trend is going to reverse in 40 years" is really, really stupid.
