Exactly as predicted, then.
Christ, wingnuts are such utter rubes.
From that Times' article on the FAA:
The change began after the T.W.A. 800 and ValuJet disasters in the mid-1990s, when regulators and the industry convened a “safety summit.” Then the Clinton administration formed a national commission in 1997 on aviation safety and security, led by Vice President Al Gore and known as the Gore Commission. It set a goal of cutting the rate of fatal accidents 80 percent over 10 years.
One idea was for the F.A.A. to start working more closely with the industry. If airlines shared their mistakes or problems without fear of retribution, the reasoning went, the system would benefit from these shared lessons.
And it seems to have. Over the next decade, the accident rate fell 65 percent, and this new approach is widely seen as having played a role in the drop.
Then the F.A.A., under the Bush administration...

• Breaking tenure? Where there's a will, there's a way. Ward Churchill can tell you all about it. Of course, he left himself wide open for this by heinously and unforgivably violating the impeccable standards of scholarship some time previously. Letting him stay on would have been worse than admitting Pete Rose to the Hall of Fame!
But it's a foregone conclusion that Yoo's closet contains nary a bone-- so there's no reason to even open it to check!
• SB, re: the bogus attack in Texas
It absolutely struck me that this must have been exactly the kind of pathological social dynamic that existed in 17th Century Salem, MA.
Adolescents feel the whirlwinds and breezes of hysteria, and store it up like static electricity. And once someone trips the threshold of acting out, others join in and amp up the voltage with mutual reinforcement-- which, in turn, attracts support and sustenance from the authorities and leaders generating the hysteria.
And then innocent people begin getting zapped.

this is from NYT thumbsucker on charlie black.
it says all anyone needs to know about the DC village and lobbyist/corporate control of candidates:
A little too exact, perhaps, for critics who question how Mr. McCain, a self-described straight talker who rails against the power of special interests, can be advised by one of the city’s best-connected lobbyists. Mark Penn — whose firm, Burson-Marsteller, owns Mr. Black’s firm — stepped aside last week as chief strategist for Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton’s campaign after he met with representatives of the Colombian government, which is pursuing a trade pact that Mrs. Clinton opposes. In an effort to defuse similar concerns about potential conflicts of interest, Mr. Black resigned from his firm, BKSH, the previous week.
Even his resignation displayed the agility that has defined him. Mr. Black has worked for some of the city’s most controversial clients (Jonas Savimbi, Philip Morris, Blackwater) and with the baddest boys of Republican politics (he cut his teeth on Jesse Helms’s campaigns, and was a mentor to Lee Atwater). But he has managed to stay ahead of controversy himself.

The death raised to at least 19 the number of American troopers killed in Iraq since last Sunday.
theodoric, here's what HRC told Willamette Week:
What would you do as president about the federal government not recognizing Oregon’s Medical Marijuana Program as legal?
We’ve got to have a clear understanding of the workings of pain relief and the control of pain. And there needs to be greater research and openness to the research that’s already been done. I don’t think it’s a good use of federal law-enforcement resources to be going after people who are supplying marijuana for medicinal purposes.
So you’d stop the U.S. Drug Enforcement Agency’s raids on medical marijuana grows?
What we would do is prioritize what the DEA should be doing, and that would not be a high priority. There’s a lot of other more important work that needs to be done.
Should medical marijuana be covered by insurance?
I don’t have enough information to know anything about that.

The Code of Ethics is pretty universal. I think there are multiple grounds to disbar Mr. Yoo, just as I think there are multiple grounds to prosecute him (many of them involving conspiracy).
The calls for lifting his license are significant for the very reason that getting him fired will be almost impossible, especially given his dean's response to the press release from the National Lawyers Guild calling for his firing.
Do you mean to tell me that even Baker Botts doesn't have a vacant desk in a little corner office somewhere that they'd be happy to have Alberto Gonzales occupy?
Baker Botts is an international law firm recognized for our creative approach to the legal and business issues facing our clients. The work we do is often groundbreaking.
With approximately 800 lawyers and a worldwide network of offices, Baker Botts works with our clients on a wide range of matters. Our approach to the law practice is collaborative, with lawyers functioning as integrated teams to bring the most appropriate response to client needs.
Since 1840, Baker Botts has been highly regarded for our integrity, our work ethic, the quality of our legal advice, and our people.

Boston: Thwarting Escape Fantasies Since 1630
I'm pretty sure reading that book is what killed him.

I find this verrry interesting.
Sorta. Laura Ingalls Wilder and the Little House money. Rose Wilder Lane was gay, but she and her partner raised Roger Lea McBride, who ran the Objectivists for a long time. Ran for prez as a Libertarian, too.

But, um, isn't it supposed to make people weak if they don't earn every crust of bread by the sweat of their brow? And should these young people be, you know, cleaning the driveways of the wealthy with their tongues in order to earn enough money to go to college?
Only class in law school I enjoyed, other than Procedure.
I might have enjoyed Procedure if the professor had spent, say, five minutes on the first day explaining what the class was, you know, about? Instead, she started babbling about "justiciability" and fluoride in the water supply.
My legal research and writing professor went to rehab the semester after I had her. Explained a lot at the time.
I'm pretty sure reading that book is what killed him.
Wrongful Death! Call the Law Offices of Gonzalez and Yoo!
I read Teh Fountainhead in high school, because the Objectivist people offered a big scholarship based on submitted essays. Even though it should have been in my adolescent wish-fulfillment wheelhouse, I couldn't fucking stand it and wanted a building to collapse on all the fucking characters and their goddamned bootstraps.
Must dash! Ciao!

"Breaking tenure? Where there's a will, there's a way. Ward Churchill can tell you all about it."
"Yeah, I mentioned that above. What left him open to that (if anything)?"
Churchill wasn't fired for his op-ed about 9-11.
But that started a witch-hunt investigation of him. They pored over every word he ever wrote and got him for plagiarism.
Ken Starr and Richard Mellonhead Scaife would be proud of the job CU did on Churchill.
CU used to be a cool school, too. Now it's run by Repukes.
RMJ, I went to collect his things and his body was still in the room and I remember picking stuff up and finding that thing and saying (out loud), "Daddy, what the fuck?" then worrying I was going to go to hell for saying "fuck" in front of a corpse.
It's conceivable that Berkeley would (and still might do so) try to act in some manner, but the truth is probably they're scared of assminstration retribution.
And retribution by wealthy wingnut donors

Chomsky said that intimidating journalists and intellectuals in the Soviet Union required a police torture regime, but in the US the chickenshit factor is so high that a less glowing career path is more than enough.
Wrongful Death! Call the Law Offices of Gonzalez and Yoo!
Okay, but they're the same book.
Nah, "The Fountainhead" actually had a few pages that made sense...
Anyone see McMelanoma's medical records? Anyone?
I might have enjoyed Procedure if the professor had spent, say, five minutes on the first day explaining what the class was, you know, about? Instead, she started babbling about "justiciability" and fluoride in the water supply.
You should have gone to U Wisconsin - Madison. They wouldn't stand for that sort of shoddy thinking there.
I'm trapped in a very cold room with very perplexed and whiny teachers (most of them full time faculty, which makes it worse)trying to put finishing touches on their "virtual" classrooms, while I try to figure out how to translate a 3 week course into an on-line course.
IOW, I can't think, especially with people constantly walking behind me in this computer lab (the tables are too damned close together!)
And I should really get up to relieve myself, but then they'll cover whatever remaining mystery is plaguing my addled brain (is there sun outside? is there still an "outside"? How do computer geek stand these windowless rooms?).
It's a good thing I never got that concealed weapons permit, or the next person to make me scoot into the keyboard so they could go by....
That is the whole paper.>

Breathtaking! 
It's just the sort of brevity and succinctness which I remain wholly unable to achieve.
I was one of the geeks who loved law school (a huge relief after graduate school in science as the expectations were very clear). One of the best classes I took was Remedies. Made you stop and think what in fact you were after if you took the step to sue someone. Loved Civil Procedure, too--what was the basis for jurisdiction--sort of the "who am I and what am I doing here" course.
And Ethics. Lapsed Catholics seemed to love that class. It's one that should be tied around Yoo's neck.
Only class in law school I enjoyed, other than Procedure.
I thought I was going to do best in the passionate adv Con Law and Crim Law seminar type things. Nope. My highest 2 grades were state civ pro and evidence.
Gonzalez and Yoo are going to open a personal injury firm together, assuming they don't get disbarred. Look at them leering down from a billboard near you soon.

That would make a great pastor's story, res.
owls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love hearing about law school. Seriously.
I love the way lawyers think.
Oh, you don't need a concealed weapons permit, RMJ! You're in Texas!
While at the library, noticed several signs reading "Democratic Event" and pointed toward a pleasant little miniature park next door.
The Event appeared to consist of perhaps ten or fifteen people milling around a folding table.
I went on to the post office.
I had a Philosopy 101 instructor who was an Objectivist.
I am grateful to him for drilling into my head that her first name is pronounced "Aye-N", not "Ann". Comes in handy when you want to annoy an annoying Objectivist...
Civil Procedure was taught by some dueling-pistol aficionado Virginia gentleman with a Foghorn Leghorn delivery. I actively wished for his demise. Now, I wish him well. Well!
Twittery owls! And just when I was getting comfortable...
Sure, I "barred" my soul-- lo and behold, new threads.
I should have taken Remedies.
My favorite classes were T&E, employment, and employment discrimination.
T&E was a big gossip-fest. Plus, the statutes of descent and distribution made sense to me. ED had juicy fact patterns, too.
It's a good thing I never got that concealed weapons permit, or the next person to make me scoot into the keyboard so they could go by....

Well, I know at least one lawyer, someone who is also a Gitmo defense lawyer, is itching to.
Disbarment it is, then.
It's actually a very good idea. Who's going to file the complaint with the state licensing board?

it astonishes me that the aba, the nyc bar assn, the natl lawyers guild -- none of these organizations, as far as i'm aware, have done anything about these war criminals in their midst. the nlg has called for boalt hall to dismiss yoo, and suggests that he should be disbarred in their press release. but no one is taking any actions. if only the legal establishment here could take some lessons from the pakistani brethren, who actually risk life and limb in their opposition to musharraf.
RMJ!
Make ur course ur blog!

What's your cell number? For 50 bucks I'll call you & say your house is being flooded & you have to go home immediately.
RMJ!
Make ur course ur blog!

and turn it into work? Where nobody learns anything?
Well, the second part would still be like my class....
RMJ,
Take it. It's yours.

Left the phone at home. Besides, I haven't paid up my flood insurance yet.
Nah, "The Fountainhead" actually had a few pages that made sense...
The title page and the page with the Library of Congress stuff on it.
That's about it.
"Gonzalez and Yoo are going to open a personal injury firm together, assuming they don't get disbarred. Look at them leering down from a billboard near you soon."
I can't wait to see their TV ads.
"Someone ...help me."
what can I do for you?
"In case Wombat or any other Commonwealth Atriots are around, I give you:

I saw that in the Phoenix the other day. That is SO spot on!
one would have to pass the other's bar, no?
Beale, I used to watch Danny Ellis and Greg Zanon play college hockey here in Omaha. Good kids!
David Betray Us is Mr. Smithers to Bush's Mr. Burns
Every time I hear of another U.S. soldier in Iraq being killed by a roadside bomb, I wonder what happened to the other U.S. soldiers with him (or her) patrolling down that Iraqi road.
How many U.S. soldiers in proximity to that roadside bomb blast were injured? How many were injured severely enough to require medical evacuation out of Iraq to Landstuhl AFB in Germany, being counted as a casualty of Bush's war in Iraq? How many were less severely injured, patched up by medics back at their permanent Iraqi base, and not counted as a casualty, as so many tens of thousands of injured U.S. soldiers before them?
We must be winning then, right?
