wapo ombusdsman lets fly on the influence -peddling salons and reveals that the fall guy from advertising side (pelton) actually raised questions about the potential ethical pitfalls in a memo in may to both the publisher (weymouth) and the top editor (Bruachli).
they must have been power lunching with a Senator and missed the email.
http://www.washingtonpost.com/
wp...id=opinionsbox1
Some at The Post view Pelton as overly eager and not attuned to the newsroom's ethical sensitivities. But Pelton raised questions about some of those very issues in a May 21 e-mail to Weymouth, Brauchli and Stephen P. Hills, The Post's president and general manager. Pelton reports to Hills, who declined to be interviewed.
The e-mail said the plan to hold the dinners at Weymouth's home "speaks to heavy editorial involvement" through "mixing different editors and beat reporters." But in arguing for "background only" discussions, Pelton asked if they thought the discussions should be "on or off the record." And while he endorsed the sponsorship idea, noting there would always be "more than one," he also said "I want to be sure our newsroom is also comfortable" with the arrangement.

The rival sides climbed through the Hindu Kush like medieval armies, horse-mounted warriors leading thousands of fanatical followers, to do battle on a grassy highland arena.
But this epic spectacle, which unfolded in Pakistan's North West Frontier province this week, was a matter of sport, not war. And despite threats of dire violence, there wasn't a Taliban fighter in sight.
Every summer polo teams from the mountain districts of Chitral and Gilgit converge on the Shandur Pass, a spectacular natural stadium surrounded by snow-sprinkled peaks which, at an altitude of over 12,000ft, is the world's highest polo ground.
The tournament dates back to the 1930s, when a British officer named Cobb formalised a centuries-old sporting rivalry. "The game of kings and the king of games," reads the sign at the entrance to Shandur.

Moonbootica
In the US that means putting up the Xmas tree.
A former head of MI5 discloses in the Guardian today that she warned ministers and officials that an invasion of Iraq would increase the terrorist threat to Britain.
Lady Manningham-Buller says that as US and British forces were preparing to invade Iraq, she asked: "Why now?" She adds: "I said it as explicitly as I could. I said something like, 'The threat to us would increase because of Iraq'."
MI5 knew that invading Iraq would make its task much more difficult by breeding resentment and hostility among Britain's large Muslim community.
Even Whitehall's Joint Intelligence Committee (JIC), largely responsible for drawing up the discredited Iraqi weapons dossier, warned in February 2003 – a month before the invasion – that international terrorism posed by far the biggest threat to Britain's national security, certainly more than Saddam Hussein.

Galaxy images released on Friday by the European Space Agency show detail previously unseen in the objects.
The pictures - and the thousands that will follow - should give new insights on star formation and galaxy evolution.
"We have some excellent images; they're not calibrated, but they look spectacular," said Dr Göran Pilbratt, Esa's Herschel project scientist.

This same thing happened not long ago in some southern state. I wonder how many cemeteries are doing this on the sly....
IF YOU'RE trapped under rubble after an earthquake, wondering if you'll see daylight again, the last thing you need is an insect buzzing around your face. But that insect could save your life, if a scheme funded by the Pentagon comes off.
The project aims to co-opt the way some insects communicate to give early warning of chemical attacks on the battlefield - the equivalent of the "canary in a coal mine". The researchers behind it say the technology could be put to good use in civilian life, from locating disaster victims to monitoring for pollution and gas leaks, or acting as smoke detectors.
Pentagon-backed researchers have already created insect cyborgs by implanting them with electrodes to control their wing muscles. The latest plan is to create living communication networks by implanting a package of electronics in crickets, cicadas or katydids - all of which communicate via wing-beats. The implants will cause the insects in these OrthopterNets to modulate their calls in the presence of certain chemicals.

In the early 1950s two old cemeteries in Philadelphia - American Mechanics and Odd Fellows - right across the street from one another were emptied and the bodies moved to other cemeteries. There was a housing project built on those sites.
A housing project that turned out to be a drug-infested, crime-filled hellhole. I think the residents of the cemeteries were better neighbors.
They imploded that place in 1999. As they were preparing it for the charges, they were still finding human remains and bits of coffins.
A lot of respect they showed the dead.

A car bomb has killed four people and injured 40 at a market on the outskirts of the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, police sources told the BBC.
All of those killed or injured in the blast in Kukchali, a mixed Sunni-Shia area to the east of Mosul, are believed to be civilians.
Mosul, with its volatile ethnic and religious mix, has seen numerous attacks by insurgents.
The blast comes less than two weeks after US troops left Iraqi cities.
Correspondents say the bomb went off in an area with a predominantly Shia population, thought to be from Iraq's Shabak community.

I heard petraeus poo poo the argument that invading iraq was about oil, citing the cost of the war as many times the value of the oil.
dunno about that calculation, but I do know his comparison is specious cause Bushco, the war starters, always thought it would be a quick-and-dirty and cheap war.
their cost analysis had us in and out of the fighting and into the oil revenue in a few months.
I mean, doesnt petraeus remember the mission accomplished event?????????

Speedy:
Hannity sounds as though he has some MAJOR issues.
Also:
Many cemeteries have a section dedicated to infants, stillborns and young children.
Often, it's called Babyland or Baby Land, and includes small headstones with depictions of angels or children's toys or just simple grave markers with names and death dates. In the best cemeteries, it includes extra landscaping and cast-iron or stone benches for parents to sit on when they visit their children's graves.
In desecrated Burr Oak Cemetery, no one can find Babyland.
This week, parents looking for their babies' headstones haven't been able to find any. The whole section appears to be missing, Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart said Friday.
"This has been horribly, horribly difficult," Dart said. "I can't tell you how many mothers can't find their babies."
On Friday, while searching for the deceased, people even stumbled upon bones, Dart said.
Dart spokeswoman Brittney Blair said today investigators haven't been able to determine yet if there are bodies buried in what she said was "coldly known as 'Babyland.' "
"Every family that came out to look for an infant in Babyland was unable to find a headstone," Blair said.

About 1,400 people are dying every week at the giant Manik Farm internment camp set up in Sri Lanka to detain Tamil refugees from the nation’s bloody civil war, senior international aid sources have told The Times.
The death toll will add to concerns that the Sri Lankan Government has failed to halt a humanitarian catastrophe after announcing victory over the Tamil Tiger terrorist organisation in May. It may also lend credence to allegations that the Government, which has termed the internment sites "welfare villages", has actually constructed concentration camps to house 300,000 people.
Mangala Samaraweera, the former Foreign Minister and now an opposition MP, said: "There are allegations that the Government is attempting to change the ethnic balance of the area. Influential people close to the Government have argued for such a solution."
News of the death rate came as the International Committee of the Red Cross revealed that it had been asked to scale down its operations by the Sri Lankan authorities, which insist that they have the situation under control.

The system will also be introduced at a hospital in Osaka to check staff friendliness and at a truck stop to measure the tiredness of drivers.

So there's this new Facebook quiz, "Which U.S. President Are You?" See if you can detect the ideological bias from these two descriptions.
First, Bill Clinton:
You are such a deceptive character. Others are likely to invest their trust in you - not aware of the wool being pulled over their eyes. You possess sex appeal, charisma, the ability to present yoursel well - although your motivations are usually self centered and driven by greed and fame. Your talents are genuine, your successes are not few - nonetheless, your day of reckoning is just a sin away. For now, just relax, have a "cigar" and contemplate if change is worth the effort.
And now, Ronald Reagan:
You are a great communicator! You possess talents that cause others to press you to lead. You are not only wise, knowledgeable, and articulate - you also have captured the very essence of being a modern hero. You are optimist and encourage others to remain on the path to success. Selfless to a fault, comical and pleasureable, others enjoy your presence. If there ever was a tour guide for the "city on a hill" you would be the candidate.
Nope, seems fair and balanced to me ...

a synopsis - On November 20, 1979, worldwide attention was focused on Tehran, where the Iranian hostage crisis was entering its third week. The same morning—the first of a new Muslim century—hundreds of gunmen stunned the world by seizing Islam’s holiest shrine, the Grand Mosque in Mecca. Armed with rifles that they had smuggled inside coffins, these men came from more than a dozen countries, launching the first operation of global jihad in modern times. Led by a Saudi preacher named Juhayman al Uteybi, they believed that the Saudi royal family had become a craven servant of American infidels, and sought a return to the glory of uncompromising Islam. With nearly 100,000 worshippers trapped inside the holy compound, Mecca’s bloody siege lasted two weeks, inflaming Muslim rage against the United States and causing hundreds of deaths.

Colombian bounty hunters have shot and killed one of three hippopotamuses which escaped from a private zoo owned by former drugs baron Pablo Escobar.
The African-born hippos broke out of the zoo, called Napoles, in 2006 and thrived in the nearby Magdalena valley.
But officials said they were a threat to people and crops, and that all three would have to be destroyed.
Escobar, once one of the world's richest men, was shot dead by police in the city of Medellin in 1993.
He had amassed a collection of hundreds of exotic animals at his large ranch near the city of Medellin.

Years ago, my employer had a seminar at a Holiday Inn outside Memphis that was adjacent to a golf course. On the course was a small plot of graves that dated to the 1830s.

The man is reported to have been an engineer working at the gold and copper mine - one of the world's largest - owned by US giant Freeport McMoRan.
The mine has been a frequent source of unrest over its impact on the environment and the proportion of its revenues going to local people.
In 2002, two American teachers were shot dead in an ambush at the facility.

That's because merely reading marx turned your brain over to the Intergalactic Yiddish Banking Federation which is controlling your thoughts via machinery made of fried onions that circles Sirius-21
The state did play a role in the Marxist parties of the Second International. But its role was not to nationalize industry and create a vast bureaucratic state socialist economy. Put simply, the workers parties were to be elected to the national government, and backed by the trade unions, cooperative movement and other popular organizations, would expropriate the big capitalist enterprises. Three things would then happen: 1. The expropriated enterprises handed over to the workers organizations, coops and municipalities. 2, The army and police disbanded and replaced by worker and municipal militias. 3. Political power decentralized to the cantonal and municipal level and direct democracy and federalism introduced. These three aspects are the famous “withering away of the state” that Marx and Engels talked about.

Marx's famous 18th of Brumaire quote nails late-period capitalism perfectly.
All that is solid melts into air, all that is holy is profaned, and man is at last compelled to face with sober senses, his real conditions of life, and his relations with his kind.
The first problem with this scenario was that the workers parties never got a majority in parliament. So they began to water-down their program and adopt a lot of the statist reformism of the liberal reformers. Due to the Iron Law of Oligarchy the parties themselves became sclerotic and conservative. Then WW1 intervened, splitting the workers parties into hostile factions. Finally, under the baleful influence of the Fabians, the Bolsheviks and the “success” of state capitalism in the belligerent nations, the definition of socialism began to change from one of democratic and worker ownership and control to nationalization and statism. The new post-war social democracy began to pretend that state ownership/control was economic democracy since the state was democratic. This, as we see from the list above, was not anything like the economic democracy envisaged by the previous generations of socialists and labor militants.

My "belief" in Obama ninja-chess rests on a bizzare theory that a political group that has had a serious of stunning political victories is probably not making really stupid obvious political errors on critical projects, especially when the diagnosis of those "errors" is poorly informed and based on obviously incorrect political arguments.
My skepticism of the whitewash argument presented on porkupine is based on familiarity with the contemporary criticism of Marxist parties as statist and despotic by critics such as Bakunin whose criticisms all turned out to be spot-accurate.
