GravatarDamn Liberal press:

"After two months, Minnesota Public Radio’s series, Toxic Traces Revisited, finally put the whole story together that the MDH and MPCA were delaying addressing this problem for as long as possible.

For two months the major media outlets knowingly left the back-story out of their reporting. The Pioneer Press, the major paper of the east metro, had a fraction of the coverage the Star Tribune, but neither mentioned the state agencies’ past role in the story (Tom Meersman came the closest with this story).

A newsroom source at one the paper’s acknowledged that they had been getting “some e-mails sharply critical” for not reporting the back story, and explained that unless there is new information about old, yet relevant, information, it apparently won’t be included in any current reporting." http://skybluewaters.org/

nancy pelosi's response to bush and cheney's reaction to her trip to syria...

Ms. Pelosi, in a telephone interview from Lisbon on Friday, said she could not account for the Bush administration’s assault, which she at one point equated to a tantrum.

[...]

“I am used to the administration; nothing surprises me,” she said.

such an adult response from madam speaker... it only serves to make george and dick look like the absolute nincompoops they really are...

GravatarPutin to Commander CooCoo Banana's Iran Maniacs: Bugger Off!

The S-300PMU [SA-10 land-based, SA-N-6 naval version] surface-to-air missile system is able to engage a number of targets simultaneously, countering intensive aircraft raids at low-to-high altitude. The SA-10 offers significant advantages over older strategic surface-to-air missile systems, including multitarget handling and engagement characteristics, a capability against low altitude targets with small radar cross-sections such as cruise missiles, a capability against tactical ballistic missiles, and possibly a potential to intercept some types of strategic ballistic missiles.

Or did you mean an 18th century NYC tour?


Gravatar"Diversity" is one word that is rarely associated with the conservative movement in general and the Republican Party in particular. But when it comes to efforts by minority Republicans Alberto Gonzales and Lurita Doan to convert their federal agencies into entrenched partisan redoubts of the GOP, the right has been very quick indeed to turn to the "diversity defense."

For the details, see:

GravatarS-300PMU1 system, Favorit has several new capabilities:
- increased effectiveness of ballistic target destruction, ensuring the detonation of a military load carried by the target;
- increased effectiveness of aerodynamic target engagement, including targets flying at low altitudes, in complicated tactical and jamming environments;
- an increased range of aerodynamic target engagement (up to 200 kilometers), including the engagement of receding targets;
- an increased capability of the 83M6E command post of detecting and tracking ballistic targets, while preserving the aerodynamic target detection capabilities;
- enhanced performance of the system during autonomous combat operations due to the use of the 96L6E self-contained, next-generation radar;
- enhanced possibilities for integrating Favorit into various air defense systems.

Another marked advantage of the Favorit system is that all its components can remain on alert for a long time, which is of particular importance in a period prior to a military conflict. The technical capabilities of Favorit components ensure their uninterrupted operation in high alert conditions for two days and over a longer period for shorter intervals.

The level of "reverse discrimination" can be considerable. Not a few erronious assumptions routinely get thrown our way thanks to a number of douchebags in our ranks, whom we abhor as much as anyone else. It is often assumed one is made of money when one is not, one is a prejudiced cretin when one is not, etc etc etc.

Now I wish I could give Brother Bill his great thrill
I would set him in chains at the top of the hill
Then send out for some pillars and Cecil B. DeMille
He could die happily ever after


What's funny are these other lines from the song, whch come back to my aged memory after many years:

Well, John the Baptist after torturing a thief
Looks up at his hero the Commander-in-Chief
Saying, "Tell me great hero, but please make it brief
Is there a hole for me to get sick in?"

The Commander-in-Chief answers him while chasing a fly
Saying, "Death to all those who would whimper and cry"
And dropping a bar bell he points to the sky
Saving, "The sun's not yellow it's chicken"

Maybe Dylan was a genius...

No, actually, I'm a liberal Democrat. Voted for Mondale when I was first old enough to cast a presidential ballot. Never voted for a Republican in my life.

What is it with some of the commenters at this site?


GravatarThe level of "reverse discrimination" can be considerable.

Not when compared to the level of "actual" discrimination historically low-power groups have had to endure. I agree there is a point to be made regarding class (which is one of the things wrong with Kansas) and socioeconomic status, but this idea of parity between straight white males not getting everything they're used to getting and minority groups who have been oppressed in real, life-altering ways is just ludicrous.

People being denied jobs, loans, housing, and even life will never be remotely comparable to someone assuming a white guy is a jerk and a bigot.

Years of trolls


People being denied jobs, loans, housing, and even life will never be remotely comparable to someone assuming a white guy is a jerk and a bigot.

The notion that everything is just handed to us on a silver platter is another often erronious myth. Alot of times it is used to justify ripping us off in one way or another in some sort of amorphous assumption that we represent "the man", when we often work as hard or harder than others, and face all sorts of arbitrary capriciousness, most especially the more liberal among us.

Solo almond 'filling'- I had about half a can leftover from mixing it with whipping cream to fill my birthday cake. So, I baked the bottom pie crust for about 20 minutes, and brought it out and let it cool, and then added the almond filling in a layer at the bottom. Then, layer the pie with Granny Smith apples, with sugar, cinnamon and butter, cover with another crust, use an egg wash on that and sprinkle with a little bit of sugar. I tell you, it couldn't have been a better pie if I'd been an Iowa farmwife with a 4H certificate. Damme!

GravatarNorth Koreans Arm Ethiopians as U.S. Assents

By MICHAEL R. GORDON and MARK MAZZETTI
Published: April 8, 2007

WASHINGTON, April 7 — Three months after the United States successfully pressed the United Nations to impose strict sanctions on North Korea because of the country’s nuclear test, Bush administration officials allowed Ethiopia to complete a secret arms purchase from the North, in what appears to be a violation of the restrictions, according to senior American officials.

The United States allowed the arms delivery to go through in January in part because Ethiopia was in the midst of a military offensive against Islamic militias inside Somalia, a campaign that aided the American policy of combating religious extremists in the Horn of Africa.

A top U.S. Democratic congressman met a leader of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's most powerful rival, the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, U.S. officials and the Islamist group said Saturday.

Visiting House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer met with the head of the Muslim Brotherhood's parliamentary bloc, Mohammed Saad el-Katatni, twice on Thursday -- once at the parliament building and then at the home of the U.S. ambassador to Egypt, said Brotherhood spokesman Hamdi Hassan.

U.S. Embassy spokesman John Berry would only confirm that Hoyer, who represents Maryland, met with el-Katatni at U.S. Ambassador Francis Ricciardone's home at a reception with other politicians and parliament members.

But it's a bit eerie how Ebert seems to be duplicating Gene Siskel's final months. IIRC, Siskel was off the show for a while for surgery/treatment when he first disclosed he had cancer, came back, then not too long afterwards had to leave again because the cancer recurred.

I'm not trying to be morbid or mean-spirited about it, but it's been a while since Ebert took his second leave of absence, hasn't it?

Do you mean aviation fuel? Well, it's like this; jet engines are made out of adamantium which cannot melt.

Or, aviation fuel becomes a gas which is burned and as it burns, it expands and is driven out of the rear of the jet engine. Thus, the heat leaves the jet engine and is not contained in one place.

GravatarCampaign To Justify Spying Intensifies

"I'm mindful of your civil liberties and so I had all kinds of lawyers review the process," Bush said yesterday. The remarks opened a three-day blitz by the administration aimed in part at making the controversial eavesdropping program a political winner for the White House. Attorney General Alberto R. Gonzales will discuss the legal underpinnings for the program, and Bush will pay a rare visit to NSA headquarters to highlight its work. Some experts on intelligence and national security law have said that the president overstepped his authority in ordering the NSA spying, and that the 1978 Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) specifically prohibits such domestic surveillance without a warrant. But the Justice Department issued a "white paper" last week arguing that the president has inherent war powers under the Constitution allowing him to authorize the program.

America’s high-security prisons in Iraq have become “terrorist academies” for the most dangerous militant groups, according to former inmates and Iraqi government officials.

Inmates are left largely to run their blocks, which are segregated on sectarian lines. The policy has created a closed world run by Iraq’s worst terrorists and militias, into which detainees with no links to insurgent groups are often thrown.

Inmates from Camp Cropper, the US prison at Baghdad airport, described to The Times seeing al-Qaeda terrorists club to death a man suspected of being an informer. Others dished out retribution with razor wire stolen from the fences.

the official explanation for wtc7: burning diesel.


GravatarAlthough WMR has learned that the lost nuclear weapons did not go to either Iraq or Iran, Cheney could have been caught up in a major scandal of his cover-up of the three lost nukes in 1991. WMR has learned that British Prime Minister Tony Blair was informed about the lost U.S. nukes before the Iraq War in 2003. He was also informed by British intelligence that these nuclear weapons had not ended up in Iraqi hands and that the massive U.S. military build-up against Saddam Hussein was a product of Cheney wrongly believing that the lost nukes were in the possession of the Iraqis. Cheney also later falsified intelligence to show that the North Korean bomb was procured from a DIY (do-it-yourself) kit obtained from the A Q Khan nuclear smuggling network in Pakistan.

Cheney chose to attack and roll up Valerie Plame Wilson and her Brewster Jennings and Associates non-official cover firm network in an attempt to throw them off the trail of the missing nukes.

Popular Mechanics: Many conspiracy theorists point to FEMA's preliminary report, which said there was relatively light damage to WTC 7 prior to its collapse. With the benefit of more time and resources, NIST researchers now support the working hypothesis that WTC 7 was far more compromised by falling debris than the FEMA report indicated. "The most important thing we found was that there was, in fact, physical damage to the south face of building 7," NIST's Sunder tells PM. "On about a third of the face to the center and to the bottom--approximately 10 stories--about 25 percent of the depth of the building was scooped out." NIST also discovered previously undocumented damage to WTC 7's upper stories and its southwest corner.

Either way, this could be a small but potentially significant clue that Karl Rove was involved in the DeLay scandal involving the attempt to arrest the Democratic Texas legislators in much the same way Rove was involved in firing the eight U.S. Attorneys.

Hot Mamma, Is that a Wonderbra?


GravatarBin Laden is still free because of the premeditated decision to tape him instead of capturing when the Bush Administration had its best chances.
But that is not the end of it; there is another incident that qualifies as premeditated high treason. Since Bin Laden is still free, the videotape resulting from the first part of the sting operation can only be described as a sensitive by-product of a failed intelligence operation. Buckling under pressure from the Muslim and Arab streets for proof that Bin Laden is responsible for 9/11, the Bush administration released the only evidence it had of his guilt. The White House and the Pentagon tell us that there was ample deliberation, indicating a premeditated act, of the consequences of its release; the videotape was released on December 13, 2001. The one major consequence they don’t want anyone to know about is how Bin Laden would react when viewing the tape. Inevitably, Bin Laden was to see that tape and he would quickly realize that it was taped covertly. He would realize how close intelligence operatives were to him; basically they could have captured him. The only time Bin Laden took exception to his own security rules in meeting visitors – he went to this visitor in accommodation to the visitor’s handicap (paraplegic) while other visitors were always brought to him under a strict security protocol – he gets taped covertly confessing by intelligence operatives. The very serious consequence of releasing the tape is that security around Bin Laden will get even tighter and no one would ever get close to him again regardless of how honest the effort is by this administration or any future one. The most wanted man in America for a crime that resulted in 3,000 deaths is still at large as a result of deliberate and premeditated acts by the Bush administration and the second of which insured that he would never be caught. The evidence was strong enough that many in congress were informed, including Kucinich, Judiciary committees in house and senate, the attorney generals of the states of Connecticut, New Jersey, and New York, the Manhattan DA, and the DoJ through Patrick Fitzgerald.

ST. LOUIS — Justin Abdelkader snapped a tie with 18.9 seconds to go, seconds after ringing a shot off the post in Michigan State’s 3-1 victory over Boston College in tonight's NCAA hockey championship game.

Chris Mueller added an empty-net goal with 1.2 seconds left to clinch it for the Spartans (26-13-3), a lightly regarded No. 3 seed in the Midwest Regional when the tournament began.

Michigan State won its third championship and first since 1986.

Tim Kennedy tied it midway through the third period, and set up the go-ahead goal from behind the net when he spun off his man and passed the puck in front.

Abdelkader beat Cory Schneider for his 15th goal and first in nine games.

Brian Boyle scored in the second period for Boston College (29-11-2), which had won 13 in a row before the final

Bayside had the best bar, wine list, shrimp cocktail, live music and desert, and the service at the Pavilion was perfect ( even if the Island Hotel is a bit generic.) The Pavilion also gives you a little box of four bite sized scones for the next days' breakfast when you leave.

GravatarWhy has the US been Shipping Muslim Extremist Schoolbooks into Afghanistan...for 20 Years? And why is Bush hiding it? By Jared Israel

Have you heard about the Afghan Jihad schoolbook scandal? Or perhaps I should say, "Have you heard about the Afghan Jihad schoolbook scandal that's waiting to happen?" Because it has been almost unreported in the Western media that the US government shipped, and continues to ship, millions of Islamist textbooks into Afghanistan. Only one English-speaking newspaper we could find has investigated this issue: the Washington Post. The story appeared March 23rd. Washington Post investigators report that during the past twenty years the US has spent millions of dollars producing fanatical schoolbooks, which were then distributed in Afghanistan.
"The primers, which were filled with talk of jihad and featured drawings of guns, bullets, soldiers and mines, have served since then [i.e., since the violent destruction of the Afghan secular government in the early 1990s] as the Afghan school system's core curriculum. Even the Taliban used the American-produced books..."

GravatarDemocrat Met Opposition Leader in Egypt

Cairo, Egypt (AP) - A top U.S. Democratic congressman met a leader of Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak's most powerful rival, the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, U.S. officials and the Islamist group said Saturday.

Visiting House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer met with the head of the Muslim Brotherhood's parliamentary bloc, Mohammed Saad el-Katatni, twice on Thursday - once at parliament and then at the home of the U.S. ambassador to Egypt, Brotherhood spokesman Hamdi Hassan said.


GravatarSpying on Americans by the super-secret National Security Agency is not only more widespread than President George W. Bush admits but is part of a concentrated, government-wide effort to gather and catalog information on U.S. citizens, sources close to the administration say. Besides the NSA, the Pentagon, Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Homeland Security and dozens of private contractors are spying on millions of Americans 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year. “It’s a total effort to build dossiers on as many Americans as possible,” says a former NSA agent who quit in disgust over use of the agency to spy on Americans. “We’re no longer in the business of tracking our enemies. We’re spying on everyday Americans.” “It's really obvious to me that it's a look-at-everything type program,” says cryptology expert Bruce Schneier. Schneier says he suspects that the NSA is turning its massive spy satellites inward on the United States and intentionally gathering vast streams of raw data from many more people than disclosed to date — potentially including all e-mails and phone calls within the United States. But the NSA spying is just the tip of the iceberg. Although supposedly killed by Congress more than 18 months ago, the Defense Advance Project Research Agency’s Terrorist Information Awareness (TIA) system, formerly called the “Total Information Awareness” program, is alive and well and collecting data in real time on Americans at a computer center located at 3801 Fairfax Drive in Arlington, Virginia. The system, set up by retired admiral John Poindexter, once convicted of lying to Congress in the Iran-Contra scandal, compiles financial, travel and other data on the day-to-day activities of Americans and then runs that data through a computer model to look for patterns that the agency deems “terrorist-related behavior.”
Poindexter admits the program was quietly moved into the Pentagon’s “black bag” program where it does escape Congressional oversight. “TIA builds a profile of every American who travels, has a bank account, uses credit cards and has a credit record,” says security expert Allen Banks. “The profile establishes norms based on the person’s spending and travel habits. Then the system looks for patterns that break from the norms, such of purchases of materials that are considered likely for terrorist activity, travel to specific areas or a change in spending habits.” Patterns that fit pre-defined criteria result in an investigative alert and the individual becomes a “person of interest” who is referred to the Department of Justice and Department of Homeland Security, Banks says. Intelligence pros call the process “data mining” and that is something the NSA excels at as well.

GravatarThe Evidence Is There: It’s Time for Congress to Investigate the Ties Between the Bush Family and Osama bin Laden
Friday, April 6, 2007 The following is taken from a chapter, "The BCCI Game: Banking on America, Banking on Jihad," by investigative journalist Lucy Komisar in the new book "A Game as Old as Empire," just published by Berrett-Koehler (San Francisco).

Now that the U.S. Congress is investigating the truth of Bush's statements about the Iraq war, they might look into one of his most startling assertions: that there was a link between Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden. Critics dismissed that as an invention. They were wrong. There was a link, but not the one Bush was selling. The link between Hussein and Bin Laden was their banker, BCCI. But the link went beyond the dictator and the jihadist -- it passed through Saudi Arabia and stretched all the way to George W. Bush and his father. BCCI was the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, a dirty offshore bank...

GravatarBut in the years after the collapse of BCCI, Khalid bin Mahfouz was still flush with cash. In 1992, he established the Muwafaq ("blessed relief") Foundation in the offshore Channel Islands. The U.S. Treasury Department called it "an al Qaeda front that receives funding from wealthy Saudi businessmen." When the BCCI scandal began to break in the late 1980s, the Sr. Bush administration did what it could to sit on it. The Justice Department went after the culprits -- was virtually forced to -- only after New York District Attorney Robert Morgenthau did. But evidence about BCCI's broader links exist in numerous U.S. and international investigations. Now could be a good time to take another look at the BCCI-Osama-Saddam-Saudi-Bush connection.

A writer can do whatever the hell he likes. It's only suspicious if he then gets twistily curcuitous in avoiding the obvious, say, in South Park claiming to be satirical and then fleeing simple, well-known issues.


GravatarI'm not joking.

"Realism" doesn't necessarily mean focusing on crack addicts and such. In fact, to limit oneself by embracing the dictates of the "gritty" leads to a stultifying naturalism that can't go much of anywhere.

Just as in politics, so it is in writing: You have to keep the utopian vision in your head, but work toward it with the materials at hand.

That's my little take on it.

GravatarROr, you are probably right. Publisher wants me to do another book. I am not sure about a dissertation but I may be going through a four hundred page book line by line and changing basically everything . . . The fabric of a novel is such that if you change one thing, everything else needs to be adjusted.

And I have three novels for young adults, two science fiction novels, and three more big novels to choose from. Decisions decisions decisions.

GravatarFurther, your writing is going to reflect the world you live in whether you will or no.

The material, socioeconomic, and cultural context in which you write will inflect every last word, regardless.

The question is the extent to which and the means by which you wish to mediate this reality. "Gritty realism" is one option. Utopian speculative fiction is another. And there are worlds in between.

You've just got to name your poison and then swallow it.

GravatarCalling the "official papers" of Giuliani a matter of "great historical significance" and "unique value," the agreement acknowledges that "the documents are the property of the City" and that "under the City Charter," the Department of Records "is ultimately responsible for the preservation and organization" of these materials. Yet the contract conveys the records to a Giuliani nonprofit so new it has no board, no director, no site, and no identifiable archivist, permitting the center to catalog, organize, and "permanently" maintain them.

The purpose of the arrangement, according to the preamble of the contract, is to "properly archive the Documents" so they "may be conveniently available for scholarly research and general public access," a goal the city records department managed to achieve on its own for every other mayor. Indeed, Chapter 49 of the City Charter requires that "records retained for historical or research purposes be transferred, upon the request of the commissioner of records, to the municipal archives for permanent custody."

Citing that and other provisions, Idilio Gracia-Peña, who was the agency's archive director for 12 years before serving as commissioner from 1990 to 1994, said he found the Giuliani actions "disturbing" and inconsistent with the charter. "Commissioners have to take orders from the mayor," said Gracia-Peña, a professor at Hunter College. "But I wouldn't have done that one myself. I would say it's time for me to go. Rios didn't, and I don't understand that."

Ann Phillips, the head of the New York Archival Society, said she was "very distressed" about the Giuliani deal. "Who's to say he won't censor the papers, that he won't destroy some of them?" she asked. The contract provides that the city's "prior written approval" is necessary before the center destroys any documents, but Phillips and Gracia-Peña point out that without any on-site records-department supervision of the screening of the documents, shredding "is a possibility."

"Rios should've said no," echoes Phillips, who once chaired the city's 15-member Archives, Reference, and Research Advisory Board. "He obviously was appointed by the fellow and wanted to please him." Vowing to "make every effort possible to get the papers back," Phillips said her organization would petition Mayor Michael Bloomberg and possibly "test the issue through legal means."

Even John Manbeck, who was appointed by Giuliani to chair the same board, said his group planned a February 13 meeting to discuss what he said was a "totally unprecedented" deal that "disturbed" them. A former Brooklyn borough historian and college professor, Manbeck said the arrangement "came as a complete surprise to me, the advisory staff, the municipal archives, and the new commissioner," adding that the records were "probably moved in the middle of the night."

Lethargy is the major symptom, I think. Licking lips in dogs is pain and changing positions may indicate the same. Check your dog's nose to see if it's hot and dry and probe around the body to see if the dog reacts to it in some ways.

GravatarThe US government has been accused of funding in an attempt to pressure the Iranian government.

Multiple credible individuals including US intelligence whistleblowers and former military personnel have asserted that the government is conducting covert military operations inside Iran using guerilla groups to carry out attacks on Iranian Revolution Guard units.

It is widely suspected that the well known right-wing terrorist organization known as Mujahedeen-e Khalq (MEK), once run by Saddam Hussein's dreaded intelligence services, is now working exclusively for the CIA's Directorate of Operations and carrying out remote bombings in Iran of the sort that the Bush administration condemns on a daily basis inside Iraq.

Just last month after a bombing inside Iran, the London Telegraph also reported on how a high ranking CIA official has blown the whistle on the fact that America is secretly funding terrorist groups in Iran in an attempt to pile pressure on the Islamic regime to give up its nuclear programme.

The British government has hinted that yesterday's attack in Basra that killed four British soldiers was carried out by militants with ties to the Iranian government. Meanwhile the fifteen British sailors, released yesterday by Iran, have admitted that they were engaged in intelligence gathering on Iranian activity.

The evidence suggests that The US and Britain are fully engaged in a covert war with Iran that has spilled over the border into Iraq, sowing more chaos and endangering the lives of more US and British troops, the vast majority of whom have no knowledge of such activity.

GravatarHere is some information on the food poisoning symptoms:
"The American College of Internal Medicine (ACVIM) has recommended that pets (dogs and cats) that ingested pet food that was on the recall list, whether showing signs of illness (lethargy, vomiting, diarrhea, anorexia, etc.) or not (asymptomatic) should be seen by their veterinarian for baseline blood chemistries and urinalysis in order to ascertain the status of their renal (kidney) function. (The ACVIM is the Official Organization of the Veterinary Specialties of Small Animal Internal Medicine, Large Animal Internal Medicine, Cardiology, Neurology, and Oncology. http://www.acvim.org/).\"

Thanks, monica. It is fairly uncommon in the breed of her dog (a Wheaten terrier). Bloat tends to be a danger in deep-chested large dogs, the kinds I've had, so I'm pretty aware of the symptoms. It kills unless you can act within a very short amount of time, minutes to hours, and it can still kill even if you do.

Domestic Spying Revelations Make Impeachment Now Imperative

By Paul Craig Roberts

While serving as President Bush’s White House lawyer, Alberto Gonzales advised Bush that the president’s war time powers permitted Bush to ignore the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) and to use the National Security Agency (NSA) to spy on US citizens without obtaining warrants from the FISA court as required by law. Under an order signed by Bush in 2002, NSA illegally spied on Americans without warrants.


By spying on Americans without obtaining warrants, Bush committed felonies under FISA. Moreover, there is strong, indeed overwhelming, evidence that justice was obstructed when Bush and Gonzales blocked a 2006 Justice Department investigation into whether Gonzales acted properly as Attorney General in approving and overseeing the Bush administration’s program of spying on US citizens.

Also at issue is whether Gonzales acted properly in advising Bush to kill an investigation of Gonzales’ professional actions with regard to the NSA spy program.

We are faced with the almost certain fact that the two highest law enforcement officials of the United States are criminals.

The evidence that Bush and Gonzales have obstructed justice comes from internal Justice Department memos and exchanges of letters between the Justice Department’s Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), an investigative office, and members of Congress. The documents were leaked to the National Journal, and the story was reported in the March 15, 2007, issue by Murray Waas, who also relied on interviews with both current and former high ranking DOJ officials.

Ten months previously on May 25, 2006, Waas broke the story in the National Journal about the derailing of the OPR investigation. [ Internal Affairs |Aborted DOJ Probe Probably Would Have Targeted Gonzales By Murray Waas, National Journal March 15, 2007]

From Waas’s report it is obvious that many current and former Justice Department officials have serious concerns about the high-handed behavior of the Bush administration. The incriminating documents were leaked to the National Journal, the only remaining national publication that has any credibility. The New York Times and Washington Post have proven to be supine tools of the Bush administration and are no longer trusted.

When the Bush administration’s violation of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act was leaked to the New York Times, the paper’s editors obliged Bush by spiking the story for one year, while Bush illegally collected information that he could use to blackmail his critics into silence. As I wrote at the time, the only possible reason for violating FISA is to collect information that can be used to silence critics. The administration’s claim that bypassing FISA was essential to the "war on terror" is totally false..

GravatarSHEETS ABOVE


GravatarJanuary 2006 The National Security Agency advised President Bush in early 2001 that it had been eavesdropping on Americans during the course of its work monitoring suspected terrorists and foreigners believed to have ties to terrorist groups, according to a declassified document. The NSA's vast data-mining activities began shortly after Bush was sworn in as president and the document contradicts his assertion that the 9/11 attacks prompted him to take the unprecedented step of signing a secret executive order authorizing the NSA to monitor a select number of American citizens thought to have ties to terrorist groups. In its "Transition 2001" report, the NSA said that the ever-changing world of global communication means that "American communication and targeted adversary communication will coexist." "Make no mistake, NSA can and will perform its missions consistent with the Fourth Amendment and all applicable laws," the document says. However, it adds that "senior leadership must understand that the NSA's mission will demand a 'powerful, permanent presence' on global telecommunications networks that host both 'protected' communications of Americans and the communications of adversaries the agency wants to target." What had long been understood to be protocol in the event that the NSA spied on average Americans was that the agency would black out the identities of those individuals or immediately destroy the information. But according to people who worked at the NSA as encryption specialists during this time, that's not what happened. On orders from Defense Department officials and President Bush, the agency kept a running list of the names of Americans in its system and made it readily available to a number of senior officials in the Bush administration, these sources said, which in essence meant the NSA was conducting a covert domestic surveillance operation in violation of the law.
