holy shit... this ought to give you a case of the cold chills...
Alarmed to find that detainees are emerging from the Guantanamo Bay prison camp and other U.S. detention centers more devoted than ever to radical Islam, Saudi Arabia is offering counseling, financial aid and even matchmaking to pull young militants away from terrorism.
but, you know, think about it... how would YOU feel if you had been kept in those kinds of conditions for years without ever knowing if it would end...? i don't know about you, but i would feel pretty goddam radical when they finally let me go without being charged, never mind who i associated with while i was there... in fact, it's hard for me to imagine coming out with anything other than a black hatred for the united states and everything it stands for, and more than willing to take up with whoever feels the same way...

And the public cleansing of guilt continues. No amount of cleaning will absolve them of their crimes. And I turn it over to someone who can say this far more eloquently than I.......
Doctor
What is it she does now? Look, how she rubs her hands.
Gentlewoman
It is an accustomed action with her, to seem thus
washing her hands: I have known her continue in
this a quarter of an hour.
LADY MACBETH
Yet here's a spot.
Doctor
Hark! she speaks: I will set down what comes from
her, to satisfy my remembrance the more strongly.
LADY MACBETH
Out, damned spot! out, I say!--One: two: why,
then, 'tis time to do't.--Hell is murky!--Fie, my
lord, fie! a soldier, and afeard? What need we
fear who knows it, when none can call our power to
account?--Yet who would have thought the old man
to have had so much blood in him.
Doctor
Do you mark that?
LADY MACBETH
The thane of Fife had a wife: where is she now?--
What, will these hands ne'er be clean?--No more o'
that, my lord, no more o' that: you mar all with
this starting.
Doctor
Go to, go to; you have known what you should not.
Gentlewoman
She has spoke what she should not, I am sure of
that: heaven knows what she has known.
LADY MACBETH
Here's the smell of the blood still: all the
perfumes of Arabia will not sweeten this little
hand. Oh, oh, oh!
Doctor
What a sigh is there! The heart is sorely charged.
Gentlewoman
I would not have such a heart in my bosom for the
dignity of the whole body.
The hands may be clean but the soul and conscience is filthy with their crimes.

If Britney Spears' private life is fair game, then perhaps Tim Russert's is as well (no I'm not suggesting something here).
Given that the name of Russert's show is "Meet the Press", and that he doesn't think twice about prattling on and on about solid moral values a la his so-called blue-collar Buffalo upbringing via Nantucket (a great story when he's trying to hawk his latest wares), I wouldn't feel all that bad when some aspect of his private life is "introduced".

The press covering their own asses now that is something to think about.
I cherish reading the full list of clients that the DC madame has allowed ABC access to.
Russert, dems and repubs are all possibities. As Inspector Clouseau would say, "I suspect no one and I suspect everyone". Hell, Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity might be on the list. ABC would love that. So would I.
Other names I would love to see on the list: James Dobson, Jerry Falwell, Pat Robertson, Orin "gotta have the snatch" Hatch, Condi Rice, Bill Kristol. Still thinking. It is difficult, given how much I disdain the politics of self corruption.

Just wait for the headlines and the lead stories on the TV: David Kay says we can't find any WMD in Iraq. Which means that the Leftists and the anti-American press can hoot and crow about what warmongering liars the Bush Administration are. But, as with everything else, their understanding and portrayal of the facts will be seriously and maliciously wrong.
First, what Kay gave the Congress today was an interim report. And there is much more to come. I guarantee that. Anyone who thinks will guarantee that. Kay and our military and intelligence services have already found plenty to condemn Saddam and his regime to the roles of genocidal liars. The circumstantial evidence is overwhelming: dual-use facilities and equipment ready for conversion to outlawed toxins and chemicals within days; systematic destruction of WMD-specific records; testimony by scientists who secreted these weaponizable substances in their own homes and who were actively engaged in the potential manufacture of and high-level preparations for using mustard gas, botulo-toxins, and wacked-out sounding viruses.
The Left will say that they were right all along, but they're not telling the whole story.

"The Houston Chronicle in 2006 obtained evidence that Moon’s Washington Times Foundation had contributed $1 million to Bush’s presidential library using the Greater Houston Community Foundation as a conduit.
".... He was then asked whether the money was meant to suggest to the Bush family that the time was at hand for President George W. Bush to grant Moon a pardon for his 1982 conviction. McGrath replied, “If that’s why he gave the grant, he’s throwing his money away. … That’s not the way the Bushes operate.”
No, that's not the way the Bushes operation. It will take at least $5 million for a pardon.

... Four years after leaving the White House, in 1996, Bush traveled to Buenos Aires for the opening of Moon’s pan Latin American newspaper, Tiempos del Mundo, and according to the Washington Post received $100,000 for his trouble. Then he accompanied Moon to Uruguay to help open a seminary. His son Neil received $1 million from a Moon foundation for an educational company. (Much of what is known about Moon comes from the efforts of a tiny group of reporters, including blogger John Gorenfeld, as well as Robert Parry, the former AP reporter who broke many of the Iran contra stories. Bill Berkowitz and Fred Clarkson are two others in a small band of reporters who have followed the Bush-Moon connection.) ...
I don't think I've seen Gorenfeld hereabouts in a while, but I remember when he'd post links to his updates about king-have-a-beer-with's affair with Moon.

I see how this issue with Massages In Government can be resolved.
A federal agency with the sole task of providing massages to government personnel. Regulated and with a overseer in tow, hanky panky would be a mute point. With exemplary record keeping (Remember, no clientel email on non-governmental servers), there should never be a question again as to the veracity of any customer on what did occur. Of course, the also implies the need for videotaping of each session and a debrief at FMS (Federal Massage Service) afterwards. For the frequent customer, an RFID tag can be placed under the skin to speed up the paperwork process as well.

poor old Rome has been sacked several times, most famous being
* Sack of Rome (387 BC) - Rome is sacked by the Gauls after the Battle of the Allia
* Sack of Rome (410) - Rome is sacked by Alaric, King of the Visigoths
* Sack of Rome (455) - Rome is sacked by Geiseric, King of the Vandals
* Sack of Rome (546) - Rome is sacked and depopulated by Totila, King of the Ostrogoths, during the war between the Ostrogoths and the Byzantines
* Sack of Rome (846) - The Arab Saracens attack Rome and loot old St. Peter's Basilica, though the Roman City walls prevent further damage to the city itself.
* Sack of Rome (1084) - Rome is sacked by the Normans of Robert Guiscard.
* Sack of Rome (1527) - Rome is sacked by the mutinous troops of Emperor Charles V
It's good because when we invade Vatican City no one in the Bush administration will be thinking about the art so you can loot away. Then they'll try to cover up the looting and say it didn't happen, so you can get away with it.
You can take the entire ceiling of the Sistine in your flat.

I don't think I've seen Gorenfeld hereabouts in a while, but I remember when he'd post links to his updates about king-have-a-beer-with's affair with Moon.
I go over to his site every now and then (Iapprovedthismessiah.com). Sometimes I have problems getting his site to load, I wonder if the NSA is trying to take him down or something.

The unique, noncommercial economy of the Vatican City is supported financially by contributions (known as Peter's Pence) from Roman Catholics throughout the world, the sale of postage stamps and tourist mementos, fees for admission to museums, and the sale of publications. Vatican has its own financial system and banks, with interests worldwide.
