"They LOOKED like terrorists!"
/wingnuts
From the Grauniad: Dick Cheney 'hit plans to kill al-Qaida operatives abroad'
Former counter-terrorism officials who retain close links to the intelligence community say that the hidden operation involved plans by the CIA and the military to launch operations, similar to those by Israel's Mossad intelligence service, to hunt down and kill al-Qaida activists abroad without informing the governments concerned, even though some were regarded as friendly if unreliable.
The CIA apparently did not put the plan in to operation but the US military did, carrying out several assassinations including one in Kenya that proved to be a severe embarrassment and helped lead to the quashing of the programme.
A former intelligence official said the plan was hatched in the cauldron of the September 11 attacks when officials were pushing various forms of unilateral action and some settled on the Israelis as an example.
"One of the most sensitive areas has been what we do in friendly countries that don't want to co-operate or maybe we don't have enough confidence to entrust them with information. If you have an al-Qaida guy wandering around certain bits of the world we might decide that we need to deal with that ourselves, directly, without making a lot of noise," he said. "There was a plan to deal with that. It was much talked about in the CIA and the military had its own operation."
Another former senior intelligence official responsible for dealing with al-Qaida said that assassination plans were reined in after similar covert operations by the military were botched and proved to be embarrassing, particularly the killing in Kenya. He did not give details of the operation.
The official said he believes from conversations with serving members of the CIA that the area of real concern in Congress is that the planned operations may also have involved the covert surveillance of American citizens.

When Holder/Obama say they're not going to prosecute or even investigate those CIA officials who were doing what "the memos" said they could do, are they referring to the poorly reasoned, cherry picked, bullshit John Yoo memos? Those things have been determined to be crap by practically everyone outside of the Cheney circle that's seen them. But we're going to let them be the determining factor in who gets investigated? That's ridiculous.

Car's kind of a double-edged sword -- useless and expensive to park if your hotel is centrally located, but a pain to depend on in an unfamiliar environment if you're staying out of the way, away from downtown areas.
Seattle and Vancouver have a TON of cool places to stay, so if you're not looking to stay in the center of things, it'd be cool to focus on a neighborhood which suits your tastes.
Banff is a non-issue, since the town is tiny.

Now as I was young and easy under the apple boughs
About the lilting house and happy as the grass was green,
The night above the dingle starry,
Time let me hail and climb
Golden in the heydays of his eyes,
And honoured among wagons I was prince of the apple towns
And once below a time I lordly had the trees and leaves
Trail with daisies and barley
Down the rivers of the windfall light.
And as I was green and carefree, famous among the barns
About the happy yard and singing as the farm was home,
In the sun that is young once only,
Time let me play and be
Golden in the mercy of his means,
And green and golden I was huntsman and herdsman, the calves
Sang to my horn, the foxes on the hills barked clear and cold,
And the sabbath rang slowly
In the pebbles of the holy streams.

Get yerself a copy of the new double-disc "Sketches of Spain." HEAVY rotation at chez Buckner...
All the sun long it was running, it was lovely, the hay
Fields high as the house, the tunes from the chimneys, it was air
And playing, lovely and watery
And fire green as grass.
And nightly under the simple stars
As I rode to sleep the owls were bearing the farm away,
All the moon long I heard, blessed among stables, the nightjars
Flying with the ricks, and the horses
Flashing into the dark.
And then to awake, and the farm, like a wanderer white
With the dew, come back, the cock on his shoulder: it was all
Shining, it was Adam and maiden,
The sky gathered again
And the sun grew round that very day.
So it must have been after the birth of the simple light
In the first, spinning place, the spellbound horses walking warm
Out of the whinnying green stable
On to the fields of praise.

And honoured among foxes and pheasants by the gay house
Under the new made clouds and happy as the heart was long,
In the sun born over and over,
I ran my heedless ways,
My wishes raced through the house high hay
And nothing I cared, at my sky blue trades, that time allows
In all his tuneful turning so few and such morning songs
Before the children green and golden
Follow him out of grace.
Nothing I cared, in the lamb white days, that time would take me
Up to the swallow thronged loft by the shadow of my hand,
In the moon that is always rising,
Nor that riding to sleep
I should hear him fly with the high fields
And wake to the farm forever fled from the childless land.
Oh as I was young and easy in the mercy of his means,
Time held me green and dying
Though I sang in my chains like the sea.

Friend of mine is at the wonderful Montreal Jazz Festival, and went to see Ornette last night -who has presented with something called "The Miles Davis Award." Funny cuz Miles never missed a chance to trash Mr. Coleman on his way up, and they actively despised each other...

NTodd-- I am sorry to hear your news, but be of good cheer. Both of our children were born healthy, if early, from exactly the same situation. Kid #1 was born 6 weeks early, and Mrs G was on bed rest in the hospital for a month before that. Scared the crap out of us, but it all turned out fine in the end.
Best wishes to all of you. Remember that the object of all of this is a healthy baby and mother. Nice that we have good hospital close to hand.
What about Urkel?

He can deliver a mean bite to the ankles, I hear.
Admit it: you want to smooch my kitties.

I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.
What about Urkel?
He's got too many weapons.

Hecate: my best friend in med school was this maybe 65-70 yo psychiatrist, originally from the midwest. We got quite close. He gave me his copy of a book called 'The Practical Cogitator', a selection of short pieces on various philosophical, spiritual, ethical and like that stuff. Just wonderful; I still have it. And, inscribed throughout with his own quotes and underlinings.
And one of them was the Litany Against Fear.
He didn't blow his own horn much. It wasn't until I read his obituary that I found out that he'd been a staff psychiatrist for the Manhattan Project in Los Alamos...

My friend never talked about it. But it wasn't irrelevant to our relationship that I was a young guy studying physics.
He interviewed me for medical school. Asked me to explain to him the theory of general relativity, which he said he never understood.

It was one of the oddest interviews I'd ever had...

of all the great dancers in the world, you had to think of the only white one.
your racism is noted.
Gromit, good luck with that. I'm very glad I gave the sinuses the roto rooter treatment about three years ago--grew weary of the chronic sinus infections and allergies.
Sallyh
Yes, good luck and good health, Gromit.
Sallyh--your sinus troubles have totally gone away since?
but it's my fault, right? not hecate's?
Yes. And your question demonstrates why.
Here's a hint to you and all the dudes here who make "innocent" comments that are meant to "compliment": when called on it, stop digging, acknowledge that people are offended, apologize, don't expect apologies for being a dick, and move on.
And when people who are in the middle of a conversation, virtual or not, as you to bugger off, consider it the same kindly request as people in a restaurant or mall who don't want you to join them even though you are non-partisan and oh-so-fucking smart.
The punchbowl is here, the door is there. Grok?

ina, I've only had one sinus infection in three years, and one Z pack did the trick nicely. Compare this to having a constant one for roughly 8 months out of the year.
I still have hay fever, but it's much, much better.

Srsly.
It's as if it takes him a time or two to get past the "villager" advice and listen to the angels of his better nature.
I haven't been tempted to engage the troll, but good god, the entire world, even the Vatican, even, er, what Iceland or whatever, refuses to validate the Honduran coup d'etat. Why does it reflect badly on Obama that he agrees with the like 5.99 billion people, but not with a couple of thousand freaks in Arkansas or wherever?
she looks great: committed to priimary care, willing to fight for it, understands underserved and uninsured populations.
But she's just a family doctor! She doesn't have a Masters! Ideology is dad fuckers!

it may not be as cut and dry as that toby, but you are certainly closer to the truth than most here. its a very tough situation, but the honduran military MAY HAVE saved their democracy.
of course, as the wiseman said, we'll see....
OK,
The plan is, NTodd stays sober enough to show up tomorrow to take care of E and Gromit. The rest of us send moral support and the trolls, for once, do the honorable thing and fuck off for 24 hours. Also.
There was no coup in Honduras, Prickstein. That was the constitution of that country working exactly as it was designed to.
Once again: prove it. Cite the Constitutional mechanism wherein the military rids the country of the Exec. And why is it that the rest of the world doesn't recognize the "peaceful change in government" you're so enamoured of?
Off to bed, as I've been up since 6:30 UK time. Sweet dreams, all.

And the 2002 Venezeulan coup attempt?
Joycelyn Elders loved the music of Eric Claxon
So, the Vatican is against democracy in Honduras, eh?
That's actually believable, but not the case, in this instance.
NTodd stays sober enough to show up tomorrow to take care of E and Gromit.
I'm still a little fuzzy on the plan.
There was a great essay by Miguel Estrada (yeah, that one) in the LA Times this past week, explaining in detail why there was no coup in Honduras. He calls Zelaya's deportation probably illegal, but the guy is a criminal and, by Honduran law, a traitor.
Y'all should read it.

No military has saved democracy. Democratic societies may have employed a military to do so, but the military does not do so on its own, overthrowing a civilian authority.
Sweet dreams, Gromit, and an easy day of it tomorrow.
Cite the Constitutional mechanism wherein the military rids the country of the Exec
It's my Il Duce Coupe
You don't know what I go...
Joycelyn Elders was shamefully treated by Clinton. And the worst of us were emboldened by their success in forcing her from office.
I'm sure there's a legal argument to explain why the American military arresting Barack Obama is entirely constitutional.
What's up, Gromit? Headaches?

I sort of assume that the brain thing is a CT or something so they know what the anatomy looks like before they get to work.

I recently had an MRI to confirm that my symptoms were actually a sinus infection. Face down, just the head. So, yeah, if they're doing surgery, they'd probably want to see what's there.
Miguel Estrada (yeah, that one)
A legal mind so brilliant, he couldn't get confirmed with the GOP in charge of the Judiciary Committee.
That's a winner.

I'll put it on my to-read list along with Chuck Manson's article "Innocent of All Charges".
It's almost like the Democrats are too stupid to step away from Obama's mistake for fear of offense.
What are you idiots waiting for? Just admit that constitutionalism is the only possible guarantor of democratic sovereignty. Quit siding with Obama just because you think he's divine.
It is odd that some people can't tell the difference between the instrumentalities of democracy and the rules of Klingon succession.
The Euphrates is drying up. Strangled by the water policies of Iraq’s neighbors, Turkey and Syria; a two-year drought; and years of misuse by Iraq and its farmers, the river is significantly smaller than it was just a few years ago. Some officials worry that it could soon be half of what it is now.
The shrinking of the Euphrates, a river so crucial to the birth of civilization that the Book of Revelation prophesied its drying up as a sign of the end times, has decimated farms along its banks, has left fishermen impoverished and has depleted riverside towns as farmers flee to the cities looking for work.
