GOP rivals tussle over immigration, the Word and Hitler in YouTube showdown
RAW STORY
Published: Wednesday November 28, 2007

Frequently using their YouTube-submitted questions as a jumping off place for attacks on rivals, the Republican presidential contenders took on a range of queries -- from silly to serious -- posed by ordinary Americans in Wednesday evening's GOP debate in St. Petersburg, Florida.

The evening's first question touched on illegal immigration, a particularly contentious issue among many in the Republican field. In a YouTube submission addressed to Rudy Giuliani, the former New York City mayor was asked if he would "aid and abet the flight of illegal aliens" into the US. The questioner also accused Giuliani of running a "sanctuary city" for illegals during his time as mayor.

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/GOP_rivals_square_off_in_YouTube_1128.html

In the end the 97% are going to have two good solid choices for President. The Republicans have 4 solid candidates who will pair up well with Hillary. All of this is good for the country.

Update, Nov. 29: Dickie Scruggs and several associates, including his son Zach, were indicted yesterday on charges of conspiring to bribe a Mississippi judge with $40,000 to rule in their favor in a fee dispute related to the Katrina litigation. Click here for a copy of the indictment. It quotes Timothy R. Balducci, another lawyer indicted in the case, saying the following:

Well, uh, like I say, it ain't but three people in the world that know anything about this ... and two of them are sitting here and the other one ... the other one, uh, being Scruggs ... he and I, um, how shall I say, for over the last five or six years there, there are bodies buried that, that you know, that he and I know where ... where are, and, and, my, my trust in his, mine in him and his in mine, in me, I am sure are the same.

A Lott connection isn't obvious, since this alleged scheme involves only lawyers. But whose "bodies" was Balducci talking about?

Back in December 2000, I received two computer disks from the office of Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris. Analysis of the data, plus documents that fell my way, indicated that Harris' office had purged thousands of African Americans from Florida's voter rolls as "felons."

Juan Cole writes that at last night’s Republican presidential debate, Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) blamed the “rise of Hitler on Ron Paul.” “John McCain equated those Americans who want to stop militarily occupying Iraq with Hitler-enablers. He actually said that, saying that it was ‘isolationism’ of a sort that allowed Hitler to come to power.” Watch it.

CNN fails to disclose questioner’s support for Hillary. Last night during the Republican presidential candidates’ YouTube debate, CNN failed to disclose that a questioner, Retired Brig. Gen. Keith Kerr, who asked about gays and lesbians serving in the military, is actually a co-chair of “Veterans and Military Retirees for Hillary Committee” and a steering member of “LGBT Americans for Hillary.” (See the question here.) CNN Senior Vice President and Executive Producer of the debate, David Bohrman, later acknowledged the network’s error:

We regret this, and apologize to the Republican candidates. We never would have used the General’s question had we known that he was connected to any presidential candidate.

Phil Singer, a spokesman for the Clinton campaign, told Raw Story: “[Kerr] is not a campaign employee and was not acting on behalf of the campaign.”

Jobless claims jump sharply 1 hour, 45 minutes ago

The number of new people signing up for jobless benefits last week jumped sharply, suggesting that the labor market is softening as national economic activity slows.

The Labor Department reported Thursday that new applications filed for unemployment insurance rose by a seasonally adjusted 23,000 to 352,000. It was the highest level since Feb. 10.

The report surprised economists. They were forecasting claims to hold steady around 330,000.

The economy, which grew at a brisk 4.9 percent pace in the summer, is expected to slow to a pace of just 1.5 percent or less in the current October-to-December period as housing and credit troubles take their toll on consumers and businesses alike.

Oil prices rise on pipeline fire By JOHN WILEN, AP Business Writer
48 minutes ago

NEW YORK - Oil prices rose Thursday, but retreated from earlier highs, after a pipeline that supplies 14 percent of domestic crude imports partially reopened following an overnight fire.

The fire late Wednesday along the Enbridge Inc. pipeline in northern Minnesota, which carries crude oil from Saskatchewan to the Chicago area, killed two workers who were repairing it, authorities said. The pipeline, which actually consists of several separate conduits, was completely shut down for a while.

But two of the four lines were restarted Thursday morning, said Larry Springer, a spokesman for Houston-based Enbridge. Another line will be inspected to see if it is safe to bring back up, but the line with the leak will likely be out for some time, he said.

"Nothing is going to be restarted until we're absolutely sure it's safe to be operated," Springer said.

Politico editor: It looks like someone helped Rudy 'cover his tracks' during affair Jason Rhyne
Published: Thursday November 29, 2007

During Wednesday evening's Republican debate, GOP presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani flatly denied a new report that as mayor of New York he had obscured security expenses during the beginning of an extra-marital affair -- but his explanation leaves a lot to be desired, according to the editor-in-chief of the publication that broke the story.

Appearing on the CBS Early Show, Politico's John Harris was asked if Giuliani's answer about the potential scandal was "enough to make it go away."

"Well, for people who are interested in the details of the story that Ben Smith broke on Politico yesterday, no it's not," he said. "Because the question wasn't whether he had security...the question is why was he hiding security expenses for his relationship, at that time still an extra-marital affair with Judith Nathan, why was he hiding them in obscure city agencies."

First reported on on Wednesday, the original Politico story cites documents acquired through a New York Freedom of Information Law proving Giuliani "billed obscure city agencies for tens of thousands of dollars in security expenses" during trips to Long Island's tony Hamptons area. The story also asserts that "mayoral costs had nothing to do with the functions of the little-known city offices that defrayed [Giuliani's] tabs, including agencies responsible for regulating loft apartments, aiding the disabled and providing lawyers for indigent defendants."

In Wednesday evening's debate, Giuliani called the story "not true" only hours after it was first published on Politico's website. "I had 24-hour security for the eight years that I was mayor. They followed me everyplace I went," he added. "It was because there were, you know, threats, threats that I don't generally talk about. Some have become public recently; most of them haven't..." Last month, the New York Post reported that New York mafia leaders had been close to "sanctioning a hit" on Giuliani in the 1980's, when he was working as a federal prosecutor targeting the mob. Many mafia experts, however, doubt that a serious threat against the mayor's life ever existed.

Official probing Rove now under investigation himself
Jason Rhyne
Published: Wednesday November 28, 2007

The federal official helming a probe into potentially illegal partisan political activities conducted by Karl Rove and other White House officials is himself the focus of a federal investigation.

Scott Bloch, the Bush-appointed head of the US Office of Special Counsel, is under investigation for the alleged improper deletion of emails on office computers, The Wall Street Journal's John R. Wilke reports.

"Recently, investigators learned that Mr. Bloch erased all the files on his office personal computer late last year," writes Wilke. "They are now trying to determine whether the deletions were improper or part of a cover-up, lawyers close to the case said." The inspector general of the Office of Personnel Management is examining the case at the urging of the White House.

The Special Counsel is also under scrutiny for claims that he used his position to retaliate against other employees, and that he "dismissed whistleblower cases without adequate examination." Investigation began in that case in 2005.

The Journal reports that Bloch called the tech support service Geeks on Call for help deleting computer files instead of using his agency's own in-house computer technicians. That company "dispatched a technician in one of its signature PT Cruiser wagons," according to Wilke, who adds that Bloch confirms contacting Geeks on Call but maintains it was part of an effort to "eradicate a virus that had seized control of his computer."

"Mr. Bloch had his computer's hard disk completely cleansed using a 'seven-level' wipe: a thorough scrubbing that conforms to Defense Department data-security standards," the report continues, describing a process which makes it "nearly impossible for forensics experts to restore the data later. Technicians were also directed to erase laptops used by Bloch's former political deputies, Wilke adds.

You Go to War with the Killers You Have, Not the Killers You Want

By: Bernard Chazelle

"Marines shot this boy!" he roars... He wants the boy evacuated to a field hospital. The major on duty informs him that Lieutenant Colonel Ferrando is sleeping and can't be disturbed. Fick is livid.

"I wanted to tell the major that we were Americans, that Americans don't shoot kids and let them die, that the men in my platoon had to be able to look themselves in the mirror for the rest of their lives."

Lance Corporal Jeffrey Carazales:

Do you think people at home are going to see this—all these women and children we're killing? Fuck no. Back home they're glorifying this motherfucker, I guarantee you. Saying our president is a fucking hero for getting us into this bitch. He ain't even a real Texan.

Lieutenant Nathaniel Fick:

Worst of all were the accolades and thanks from people "for what you guys did over there." Thanks for what, I wanted to ask-—shooting kids, cowering in terror behind a berm, dropping artillery on people's homes?

Evan Wright:

As Graves steps back in horror, his boot slips in the girl's brains. "This is the event that is going to get to me when I go home," he says.

Sergeant Antonio Espera:

Before we crossed in Iraq, I fucking hated Arabs. I don't know why. But as soon as we got here, it's just gone. I just feel sorry for them. I miss my little girl. Dog, I don't want to kill nobody's children.

Do you realize the shit we've done here, the people we've killed? Back home in the civilian world, if we did this, we would go to prison.

Evan Wright:

But when you see a little girl in pretty clothes that someone dressed her in, and she's smushed on the road with her legs cut off, you don't think, well you know there were Fedayeen nearby and this is collateral damage.

The problem with American society is we don't really understand what war is.

Sergeant Antonio Espera:

[The priest] told me killing is OK, for a purpose. Where in the bible does it say that? Where did Jesus say you can kill people for a purpose? As soon as the priest told me I could kill with a purpose, there was nothing he could tell me after that, because he lost all credibility with me.

Sources:

Iraq: the Hidden Human Costs, by M. Massing, The New York Review of Books, Dec 20, 2007. (Not online yet.)

Excerpts from "One Bullet Away" by N. Fick and "Generation Kill" by E. Wright (interview), (book excerpt).

____________

A quick aside: I have no way of knowing w/certainty what the point behind Chazelle's (intentionally provocative) post-title is.

My guess, however, is Chazelle is not impugning "the troops", which, (also a guess), is the most probable reflexive knee-jerk reaction among the self-appointed "surge-protectors" of the "progress in Iraq means violence has returned to the merely intolerable levels of 2005!" hyperventilaing bedwetter Iraq war/occupation apologists.

Personally, I read Chazelle's post-title as ironical and damning to a whole nuther group of folks, w/an implicit condemnation (and allusion, a-course) to the bland Rumsfeldian technocratic view of war that ignores the brutalizing effects of indiscriminate killing and asks (demands, really) that one check his or her conscience at the war-makin' door.

It is also, in my reading, a commentary on the tendency of vain selfish excuse-making bastards like Cheney-Bush and their 97-ways-to-Sunday acolytes (Bill Kristol sez: "Iraq 4evah!") who recklessly and irresponsibly put "the troops" in impossible untenable psychological situations and leave them there to stew in the cauldron of violent destruction b/c it's so much easier than admitting that their unnecessary pet war was a fantastically stupid idea that never should have been proposed much less executed.

Then this type of chickenhawk war cheerleader is astonished (and sorta hurt and disappointed) when they begin to hear accounts that "the troops" are eaten up from within by their surroundings and by the often horrible things they have seen. And done.

Clearly, what this world needs are more and better autonomaton unfeeling soldiers stripped of all humanity so that unnecessary wars of aggression and choice can be perpetuated indefinitely on the backs of cruel unconscionable sadists.

Then, finally, Bill Kristol could sleep soundly at night.

You know, I used to wonder what it must've been like to have lived thru the Vietnam era. I mean by that, specifically, what it must have been like to keep hearing the institutional lies and exravagant sophistries and mind-bending rationalizations that were told daily by the government and its supporters to buttress the one big transparent lie that the war was necessary, to say nothing of just.

Don't have to wonder nomores.

My fricken Verizon DSL contract is up next month, and I am trying to negotiate a new contract, before they whip the expensive one month at a time rate on me.
They told me my price was going up to $26.
(I'm paying $24 current)
I asked them about their advertised price of $14.99 for Life, a special 2 year contract that can be renewed at that same price as long as you have the DSL.
I was told that was for new customers only.

I reminded the lady that I had been a loyal customer since 2004, I knew she had my records right in front of her, and I asked about the $17.99 one year contract offer on their website.
I was told that was only for new customers only.

I asked her, what other companies provide DSL in my area? She said she didn't have that information, so I informed her, "Verizon has the monopoly in my area". (Booneyville,USA)
She directed me to a "special" website where I can sign up for $19.99.

WTF???

Anyone want these addy's let me know.

OMG I am so frustrated, I could scream.

Oliveres, 19 years old, was on his way to work driving a truck of state owned "socialist" housing company Petrocasa when he encountered opposition groups blocking the road in protest against proposed constitutional reforms. When he tried to convince them to let him pass he was shot several times and died before he could be rescued.

Leahy Takes Step Towards Contempt against White House Aides
By Paul Kiel - November 29, 2007, 11:04AM
No, he hasn't forgotten. Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy (D-VT) took a step today towards contempt proceedings against Karl Rove, two of his former aides, and White House chief of staff Josh Bolten for not complying with subpoenas related to the U.S. attorney firings.

There hasn't been much movement since this summer, when Leahy issued the subpoenas. The administration claimed executive privilege for all documents and testimony sought, and said that Rove didn't need to even show up for a hearing. Rove's aides Sara Taylor and Scott Jennings appeared, but refused to discuss the firings. A subpoena for documents was sent to Bolten, and the White House refused.

Today, Leahy ruled that the claims of executive privilege and immunity were not legally valid, a necessary step toward issuing contempt citations in the committee. He didn't say when he might do that.

The timing for this might have something to do with what's going on in the House, where leaders have said they plan to schedule a floor vote to find former White House counsel Harriet Miers and Bolten in contempt for ignoring subpoenas there. That vote has been repeatedly delayed and is currently expected to take place next month.

Perino: WH Does 'Not Seek Permanent Bases in Iraq'
By Spencer Ackerman - November 29, 2007, 11:22AM

General Lute said on Monday we'll negotiate them. Ali al-Dabbagh wouldn't rule them out. But at the White House press gaggle today, Dana Perino denied the Bush administration's interest in long-term U.S. military bases in Iraq. From AFP:

"We do not seek permanent bases in Iraq," spokeswoman Dana Perino told reporters after Lieutenant General Douglas Lute said Monday that the flashpoint issue would be part of negotiations to decide the future of US troops in Iraq.

Yawn. This standard formulation is nothing new for the administration. Zalmay Khalilzad, for instance, used the same words as far back as 2005, and the Iraq Study Group still considered the statement less than categorical. After all: what would we do if Iraq just happened to offer us open-ended access to certain military installations, or access renewable in x-number of years? Very, very rarely will a host country deny the U.S. a re-up on a military base: it took the Philippines nearly 100 years to get us out of Clark Air Base and Subic Bay Naval Base.

There's a sense in which our presence at those bases wasn't "permanent," and another in which we didn't "seek" permanence. But it's one in which the literal meaning has to be interpreted in direct contradiction to the events and issues those words describe. Luckily, the American Philological Society calls that interpretation a "Perino."

FISA: Klein’s Source Was Hoekstra And Other Unforced Errors
By Christy Hardin Smith on Thu Nov 29, 2007 at 08:45 am

constitution_1.jpg[Please welcome Caroline Fredrickson of the ACLU to discuss the pending FISA/RESTORE legislation. As always with guests, please stay on topic and be polite — any off-topic discussions should be taken to the prior thread. — CHS]

As the Joe Klein flap (H/T Glenn) has raged forward, with one Time misstep after another, I kept asking myself from whom he could have gotten such inaccurate information. Wonder no more:

Klein Kerfuffle
FISA facts.

By Peter Hoekstra

Over the last week, a venomous debate has raged between Time columnist Joe Klein and his far-Left critics about the meaning of Democratic legislation aimed at how foreign targets in foreign countries are treated under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. With respect to the arguments of his critics, Klein rightly pointed out that, “This is all a partisan waste of time, fodder for lawyers and civil liberties extremists.” He also was correct that we should be seeking bipartisan consensus on critical national security issues rather than using them as pawns to further extreme political agendas.

As one of Klein’s sources for the complex technical and legal points that seem to be in contention — and because Klein, his critics, and Democrats in Congress have accused Republicans of trying to “misrepresent” these issues — it is important to correct and clarify the record on three critical points, which also bear heavily on the broader debate currently at hand.

First, the issue in both the Protect America Act that became law in August and the legislation currently under consideration in Congress, is how to ensure effective surveillance of foreign intelligence targets in foreign countries. The issue is not nor has it ever been about surveillance of Americans, as some Democrats have irresponsibly suggested. Under any of these bills, if the intelligence community wanted to target an American in the United States for surveillance, it would need to obtain an individualized court order.

The straw-man complaint of the Left, however, is that Americans who talk to targeted foreigners in foreign countries might incidentally have their conversations intercepted. It takes a pretty good degree of self-absorption or paranoia for someone to believe that efforts to target al-Qaeda operatives in foreign countries are somehow about them. If someone in the U.S. is talking to al-Qaeda, I believe most Americans would not find it controversial that the intelligence community needs to know about it and in fact would expect our intelligence professionals to be aware of it….

China: Navy spat not a misunderstanding

China Says Relations With US 'Disturbed,' Canceled Kitty Hawk Visit No Misunderstanding

ANITA CHANG
AP News

Nov 29, 2007 10:31 EST

China's last-minute cancellation of a U.S. Navy visit to Hong Kong was not the result of a misunderstanding, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said Thursday, adding that ties had been "disturbed and harmed" by Congress' honoring of the Dalai Lama and U.S. arms sales to Taiwan.

Spokesman Liu Jianchao denounced an earlier report from Washington that said Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi told President Bush the incident was a misunderstanding.

But Liu offered no concrete explanation as to why China barred the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk and its escort vessels from entering Hong Kong harbor for a planned Thanksgiving visit.

"The report is not in line with the facts," Liu said at a regular news briefing.

He refused to elaborate, but his negative characterization of U.S.-China relations appeared to indicate that Beijing had canceled the visit deliberately in order to register its displeasure over U.S. actions, as it has done occasionally with previous Hong Kong port calls.

Liu said "erroneous" actions on the part of the U.S. had "disturbed and harmed" relations.

He pointed to Congress' awarding its highest civilian honor to the Dalai Lama last month. Although the Tibetan spiritual leader is lauded in much of the world as a figure of moral authority, Beijing demonizes the monk and claims he seeks to destroy China's sovereignty by pushing for independence for Tibet.

Arroyo vow after Manila coup bid

Philippine President Gloria Arroyo has said the full force of the law will be brought against renegade soldiers who launched an attempted coup.
The bid was ended after hundreds of troops stormed a luxury hotel in Manila that the two dozen rebels had occupied.

The mutinous soldiers were arrested after a day-long siege and led away from the Peninsula Hotel in handcuffs.

The government has imposed a midnight (1600GMT) to 0500 curfew on Manila in order to conduct "follow-up" measures.

The renegade troops had barricaded themselves in the hotel after breaking out of court where they were standing trial over a failed 2003 mutiny.

They were calling for the overthrow of President Gloria Arroyo.

Mrs Arroyo made a brief televised statement after the mutineers had been arrested, saying: "Just like before, we will impose the full force of the law strictly and without favour.

"The trial of the rebel soldiers will continue in accordance with the law."

She said fresh charges would be filed against the soldiers involved in the coup attempt.

Interior minister Ronaldo Puno said the curfew would allow the authorities to conduct "follow-up" security operations.

During the hotel assault, about 1,500 government troops had surrounded the building before an armoured personnel carrier smashed through the main entrance.

Intel centers losing anti-terror focus

Unidentified analysts keep tabs on information flowing into the Combined Intelligence and Fusion Center for NORAD/Northcom in Colorado Springs, Colo., in this Aug. 25, 2004 file photo. Local intelligence-sharing centers created after the 2001 terrorist attacks on the United States were designed to prevent future attacks. Forty-three of these "fusion centers" have been opened and 14 more are on the way, but their mission has been blurred to include run-of-the-mill crime and hazards, and it's unclear how effective they are, a new government report says. (AP Photo/David Zalubowski, File)

WASHINGTON -- Local intelligence-sharing centers set up after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks have had their anti-terrorism mission diluted by a focus on run-of-the-mill street crime and hazards such as hurricanes, a government report concludes.

Of the 43 "fusion centers" already established, only two focus exclusively on preventing terrorism, the Government Accountability Office found in a national survey obtained by The Associated Press. Center directors complain they were hampered by lack of guidance from Washington and were flooded by often redundant information from multiple computer systems.

"So, a good night for the lowest denominator, a bad night for the GOP. America got to see a vaguely threatening parade of gun fetishists, flat worlders, Mars Explorers, Confederate flag lovers and zombie-eyed-Bible-wavers [a dead-on description of today's Republican party if you ask me] as well as various one issue activists hammering their pet causes [just like many of their candidates--Rudy and 9/11, Tancredo and immigration, Mitt and whatever issue he needs to flip-flop on in order to score a couple more votes, and so on]. My cheers went to a listless Fred Thompson who easily qualified himself to be president in my book by looking all night like he would cheerfully trade his left arm for an early exit off the stage to a waiting Scotch and good Cuban cigar [classic!]. The media will probably award a win to Mike Huckabee, the easy listening music candidate at home in any crowd, fluent in simpleton speak and the one man on the stage tonight who led the audience to roaring cheers by boasting that he had a special qualification to be president that none of the second-raters on the stage could match: A degree in Bible Studies from Ouachita Baptist University of Arkadelphia, Arkansas [well, of course--doesn't the Bible supersede the Constitution in Republican eyes?]."

Gorbachev endorses Putin in election and says Russia is serious partner of West

Mikhail Gorbachev, the former Soviet leader, called for Russians to vote for President Putin's United Russia party in parliamentary elections on Sunday.

“I would vote for him and I support him. Based on what I know, and comparing him with other candidates, I would prefer Putin,” Mr Gorbachev told The Times in an exclusive interview.

Mr Gorbachev's endorsement of President Putin will surprise his many friends in the West. He was adamant, however, and praised Mr Putin's handling of the country that he inherited seven years ago. He called on the West to take Russia seriously as a partner.

“It is a fact that within Russia Putin is supported by up to 80 per cent of the population. For me that is a more persuasive argument as I live in Russia.

US Military Says Evidence Against AP Photographer to Be Presented to Iraqi Judiciary on Dec. 9

The U.S. military has set Dec. 9 as the date on which it will submit evidence against an Associated Press photographer to the Iraqi judiciary system, an American official said Thursday.

The move would be the first legal step in initiating formal charges against photographer Bilal Hussein, who was seized in Ramadi on April 12, 2006. Hussein, 36, has been imprisoned without charge ever since.

Navy Capt. Brian J. Bill informed AP counsel Paul Gardephe of the December date in an e-mail Thursday.

A public affairs officer had notified the AP last week that the military intended to submit a written complaint against Hussein as early as Nov. 29. There was no explanation for the change in the date.

Rarely has a debate left me so troubled about the future of the nation. By now, I should have learned not to be shocked when Republicans like Mitt Romney, who spent the Vietnam War doing missionary work in France, pretend to believe that they have more expertise about waterboarding and other forms of torture than John McCain, who spent five and a half years being abused and sometimes tortured in a North Vietnamese prison. I should have also learned not to be dismayed that the standard Republican position on immigration (McCain and Mike Huckabee excepted) now seems to be Emma Lazarus in reverse: "Take my tired and poor, please. I never want to see those shiftless bums again."

No, what sent me into a free fall of depression was CNN's instinct for the fatuous in choosing the debate questions. It is a disgrace that in a two-hour debate (it felt longer) there was not a single question about the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, the powder keg in Pakistan or Iran. The fault is not with the earnest YouTubers who sent in questions. The blame entirely rests with Anderson Cooper (a debate host who seemed incapable of asking a relevant follow-up question) and his CNN cohorts, who seemed more concerned with goosing the ratings than with grasping the world that the next president will inherit.

And, please God, no more debate questions about the Bible. Somewhere in the dim corridors of memory, I recall being taught (admittedly under the liberal Earl Warren Supreme Court) that there were no religious tests for holding public office in the United States. The theology was getting so thick onstage Wednesday night (with Huckabee, a Baptist minister, all but offering to give Scripture lessons to Rudy Giuliani) that I imagined that instead of commercial breaks, CNN might interrupt the debate for two minutes of public prayer........

Judge is sacked for jailing 46 over mobile phone ring

A judge in New York state lost his job after taking 46 people into custody after they all refused to admit whose mobile phone rang while court was in session, court sources said Wednesday.

Judge Robert Restaino was presiding over family court in Niagara Falls, New York on March 11, 2005 when a portable phone rang in the public seating area.

The judge demanded that the owner of the phone make himself known, and when no one did he ordered 46 people present taken into custody.

Most got out on bond but 14 people who were unable wound up in county jail.

"In an egregious and unprecedented abuse of judicial power, respondent committed 46 defendants into police custody in a bizarre, unsuccessful effort to discover the owner of a ringing cell phone in the courtroom," the New York State Commission on Judicial Conduct said Tuesday.

Leading Sunni Parliamentarian Blasts Maliki for U.S.-Iraq Security Deal
By Spencer Ackerman - November 28, 2007, 5:54PM
Ali al-Dabbagh doesn't foresee the Iraqi parliament rejecting the upcoming long-term security assurance President Bush intends to extend Iraq. He must not have talked to Saleh Mutlaq.

Mutlaq is the somewhat dyspeptic head of the smaller of two Sunni blocs in parliament. Both blocs exhibit profound distrust for Nouri al-Maliki. But Mutlaq is even less accommodating, and he's closer to the "Sunni extremist" whom Dabbagh expects will object to the deal. Sure enough, Mutlaq objects to the deal.

Via IraqSlogger (sub. req.), Mutlaq told the newspaper Kul al- 'Iraq that the Iraqi people -- meaning his constituency -- would see the deal as "a U.S. imposition." The only way to avoid that perception would be... if the U.S. set a timetable to withdraw from Iraq. That's clearly at cross-purposes with the point of the security deal.

So cross Mutlaq off from the list of the deal's supporters. The question now becomes what kind of coalition Mutlaq can cobble together to stop the deal.

Giuliani's driver brought tasers upon us

Bernard Kerik, former Giuliani's driver , is behind the sudden advancement of tasers. The phenominal rise of tasers is mainly due to the efforts of Rudy Giuliani. In 2001, Taser International developed its "Advanced Taser Electro-Muscular Disruption" system and became a publicly traded company ("Taser"). In 2000, Giuliani installed Kerik as the New York City police commissioner. In 2002, Kerik, a senior vice president at Giuliani Partners and CEO of Giuliani-Kerik LLC, became Taser's director.

With Kerik at the steering wheel, Taser's profits grew ten times in two years, to $68 million in 2004, up from just under $7 million in 2001. By the way, sales have been helped along by police officers who have received payments and/or stock options from Taser to serve as instructors and trainers.

US Coup Planned for Venezuela?

The New York Times had a news article about Venezuela in Thursday’s edition, but it was about Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez saying he would cut diplomatic ties with neighboring Colombia. There wasn’t a word about a memo from a CIA operative in Caracas to CIA Director General Michael Hayden, uncovered yesterday, outlining a plan for interfering with a Venezuelan referendum set for Dec. 2, and laying out the steps for instigating and backing a coup.

The plot, called “Operation Pliers,” and laid out in the letter to Hayden by an undercover operative named Michael Steele, who reportedly works in the US Embassy as a “regional affairs officer,” was intercepted by Venezuelan intelligence and released publicly on state TV yesterday.

Congressional Report Assails Bush Executive Order on Iraq Insurgent Funding
By Spencer Ackerman - November 29, 2007, 12:43PM
Over the summer, we reported on an under-the-radar executive order issued by President Bush allowing him to freeze or seize the U.S-based assets of anyone, potentially including U.S. citizens, he deems to threaten "the peace or stability of Iraq or the Government of Iraq" or who "undermin(e) efforts to promote economic reconstruction and political reform in Iraq."

The executive order was written so broadly as to alarm civil libertarians, who feared it was a back-door attempt at criminalizing the antiwar movement -- which Bush could conceivably argue posed a threat to Iraq by seeking to end the U.S. military presence -- or even unwitting donors to insurgent-linked charities. A spokeswoman for the Treasury Department, Molly Millerwise, told us not to worry: "Be assured that the individuals and entities we add to this list are in full faith acting in an aggressive, violent and reckless way in financing the insurgency," she said.

Earlier this month,the nonpartisan Congressional Research Service said: actually, maybe you should worry. It released a report (pdf) exploring "the contrast between the executive order's broad language and its narrow aim" and questioning why the Treasury Department hasn't released a list of eligible Iraq-related targets for the order.

Do You Write Like a Terrorist?

You might think your anonymous online rants are oh-so-clever. But they'll give you away, too. A federally-funded artificial intelligence lab is figuring out how to track people over the Internet, based on how they write.

The University of Arizona's ultra-ambitious "Dark Web" project "aims to systematically collect and analyze all terrorist-generated content on the Web," the National Science Foundation notes. And that analysis, according to the Arizona Star, includes a program which "identif[ies] and track[s] individual authors by their writing styles."

That component, called Writeprint, helps combat the Web's anonymity by studying thousands of lingual, structural and semantic features in online postings. With 95 percent certainty, it can attribute multiple postings to a single author.

From there, Dark Web has the ability to track a single person over time as his views become radicalized.

The project analyzes which types of individuals might be more susceptible to recruitment by extremist groups, and which messages or rhetoric are more effective in radicalizing people.

The research comes with risks, according to the NSF.

Virginia GOP Gets Strict on Voting
Demand for Loyalty Pledge at Primary Targets Crossovers, Independents

RICHMOND, Nov. 28 -- The loyalty pledge to the Republican Party that Virginia voters will be required to sign if they vote in the state's GOP presidential primary on Feb. 12 is another attempt by the party to police the open primary system.

On Feb. 12, a GOP primary voter will have to sign a piece of paper that says, "I, the undersigned, pledge that I intend to support the nominee of the Republican Party for President."

Del. Harvey Morgan says the pledge is a step toward party registration.

"Hello to our friends and fans in domestic surveillance."

CINCINNATI (Reuters) - Every politician in the U.S. presidential race claimed to be fighting for the middle class, and it seemed a sound strategy -- until the Democratic front-runners tried to define who, exactly, was middle class.

While Sens. Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama couldn't agree during a recent debate whether someone earning $97,500 or more could be considered middle class, voters have little difficulty judging who isn't -- the presidential candidates themselves.

"None of them really represent the middle class," said Rick Fulmer, 52, who works at the YMCA as a fitness trainer. "Both parties are tied to big business. It takes millions to run for president."

While Republicans and Democrats alike have appealed to middle-class voters for support ahead of the November 2008 presidential election, the sudden attempt to define that category has hit a nerve.

“Thousands” Illegally Rendered By Bush Administration for Interrogation, Torture; How Bush Changed Rendition Policy

In violation of international and U.S. law, “thousands” of alleged terrorists have been victims of “extraordinary rendition” by the Bush Administration since 9/11, two legal scholars say.

“Instead of working to bring those committing crimes against the United States to justice in U.S. courts, the Bush Administration seems intent on doing exactly the opposite---keeping such individuals away from U.S. courts, hidden in a web of secret prisons, underground interrogation cells, and in the hands of cooperative governments,” write Margaret Satterthwaite and Angela Fisher.

"W" and the boys using the same ten step program here that they used in 1930's germany including the same imagery!

"Author and writer of the acclaimed essay Fascist America, In 10 Easy Steps, Naomi Wolf joins Alex to discuss the unfolding march towards dictatorship in the U.S. and traces its legacy back to President Bush's grandfather Prescott, who himself attempted to launch a Nazi coup in 1930's America."

Have They No Shame?

By Amy Goodman

Every Saturday, the president of the United States gives a radio address to the nation. It is followed by the Democratic response, usually given by a senator or representative. This past Saturday the Democrats chose retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez to give their response, the same general accused in at least three lawsuits in the U.S. and Europe of authorizing torture and cruel, inhumane and degrading treatment of prisoners in Iraq. This, combined with the Democrats’ endorsement of Attorney General Michael Mukasey despite his unwillingness to label waterboarding as torture, indicates that the Democrats are increasingly aligned with President Bush’s torture policies.

Sanchez headed the Army’s operations in Iraq from June 2003 to June 2004. In September 2003, Sanchez issued a memo authorizing numerous techniques, including “stress positions” and the use of “military working dogs” to exploit “Arab fear of dogs” during interrogations. He was in charge when the abuses at Abu Ghraib prison occurred.

Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski, who headed Abu Ghraib at the time, worked under Gen. Sanchez. She was demoted to colonel, the only military officer to be punished. She told me about another illegal practice, holding prisoners as so-called ghost detainees: “We were directed on several occasions through Gen. [Barbara] Fast or Gen. Sanchez. The instructions were originating at the Pentagon from Secretary Rumsfeld, and we were instructed to hold prisoners without assigning a prisoner number or putting them on the database, and that is contrary to the Geneva Conventions. We all knew it was contrary to the Geneva Conventions.” In addition to keeping prisoners off the database there were other abuses, she said, like prison temperatures reaching 120 to 140 degrees, dehydration and the order from Gen. Geoffrey Miller to treat prisoners “like dogs.”

America's day of reckoning is at hand

Pat Buchanan is too patriotic to come right out and say it, but the message of his new book, Day of Reckoning, is that America as we have known her is finished. Moreover, Naomi Wolf agrees with him. These two writers of different political persuasions arrive at America's demise from different directions.

Buchanan explains how hubris, ideology, and greed have torn America apart. A neoconservative cabal with an alien agenda captured the Bush administration and committed American blood, energy, and money to aggression against Muslim countries in the Middle East, while permitting America's domestic borders to be overrun by immigrants and exporting the jobs that had made the US an opportunity society. War and offshoring have taken a savage economic toll while open borders and diversity have created social and political division.

In her new book, End of America: Letter of Warning to a Young Patriot, Wolf explains America's demise in terms of the erosion of freedoms. She writes that the 10 classic steps that are used to close open societies are currently being taken in the US. Martial law is only a declaration away.

1973 U.S. Cable on Mideast Mirrors Current Events
Memo, Among Newly Released Nixon-Era Documents, Warns Saudi Monarch of Dangers From Fatah

By Walter Pincus
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, November 29, 2007; Page A03

A March 1973 State Department cable released yesterday by the National Archives recounts a promise by Saudi Arabia's King Faisal that terrorist threats to U.S. interests could be resolved as soon as Washington pressed Israel to withdraw from territory it had seized.

The cable is one of 10,000 Nixon administration documents that were disclosed for the first time, including some related to terrorism and Middle East policymaking that illustrate how little has changed in more than 30 years.

On March 1, 1973, eight terrorists representing the Black September Organization, a Palestinian group with ties to Yasser Arafat and his Fatah political party, had seized the Saudi Embassy in Khartoum, Sudan's capital, during a reception for the departing U.S. deputy chief of mission.

Diplomats, including the U.S. and Saudi ambassadors, were taken hostage, and demands were made for the release of Palestinian guerrillas held in various countries, including Israel. In the end, the two U.S. diplomats and a Belgian diplomat were killed, after which the terrorists surrendered to Sudanese officials. Two were immediately released, and after a trial, the six others were turned over to Arafat's organization.

The March 14 State Department cable describes a conversation in which then-U.S. Ambassador Nicholas G. Thacher warned the Saudi monarch of the danger to his country from Fatah, and passed along evidence that it was directly involved in the attack.

"Khartoum assassination may well have been aimed at dissipating hopeful reaction stimulated by recent talks in Washington" between the Israeli prime minister and the Jordanian king, Thacher reported, according to the cable. Faisal was then told that "terrorists were seizing the initiative, blackening Arab images through the world, seriously damaging the Palestinian cause."

In response, Faisal said that his country opposed the kind of violent excesses that had occurred in Khartoum and had stopped all aid to Fatah "until assurances were received that Fatah would cleanse itself of bad ideas and practices." But the Saudis said they would not announce that publicly because "our Palestinian brothers would attack us with much bitterness."

The godawful GOP debate

Rarely has a debate left me so troubled about the future of the nation. By now, I should have learned not to be shocked when Republicans like Mitt Romney, who spent the Vietnam War doing missionary work in France, pretend to believe that they have more expertise about waterboarding and other forms of torture than John McCain, who spent five and a half years being abused and sometimes tortured in a North Vietnamese prison. I should have also learned not to be dismayed that the standard Republican position on immigration (McCain and Mike Huckabee excepted) now seems to be Emma Lazarus in reverse: "Take my tired and poor, please. I never want to see those shiftless bums again."

No, what sent me into a free fall of depression was CNN's instinct for the fatuous in choosing the debate questions. It is a disgrace that in a two-hour debate (it felt longer) there was not a single question about the Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, the powder keg in Pakistan or Iran. The fault is not with the earnest YouTubers who sent in questions. The blame entirely rests with Anderson Cooper (a debate host who seemed incapable of asking a relevant follow-up question) and his CNN cohorts, who seemed more concerned with goosing the ratings than with grasping the world that the next president will inherit.

California GOP Faces Debt, Layoffs, While Rudy Backers Pour Money into Initiative That Could Hand Him the Presidency

An Effort to Get a Similar Initiative on the Ballot Failed Last Month When It Was Revealed That Its Sole Financial Backer Was a Rudy Campaign Chair

Fundraising is down dramatically nationwide for the Republican Party, but things are especially bad here in California, where the state GOP is in such dire straits that its ability to compete in both state and federal races could be affected.

But while the state party is cutting programs and considering layoffs, hundreds of thousands of dollars are flowing in from out-of-state fatcat supporters of Rudy Giuliani --- funds the state GOP can't touch because they are earmarked specifically to promote a ballot initiative that would, if passed, would give Rudy 20 or so of the state's 55 Electoral College Votes, even if he loses the state to the Democratic candidate.

The California Republican Party has been in a death spiral since the 1990s when, under former Gov. Pete Wilson, the decision was made to make illegal immigration its signature issue. It's way too soon to send for the embalmers but current crisis couldn't be worse:

Salt Lake Officials Urging Voters to NOT Come to Polls in Wake of Disastrous Move to Touch-Screen Voting

Fear 'Train Wreck' in Upcoming Presidential Primary Election as Cost of Move to Electronic Voting Translates to 40% Fewer Voting Booths...

Salt Lake City Weekly covers the state's recent electoral woes in the wake of moving to Diebold touch-screen voting machines. They even use a word we reference often here at The BRAD BLOG in regard to upcoming elections: "train wreck".

Meanwhile, in Salt Lake County, election officials are trying to figure out how to persuade voters not to come to the polls. With the switch from punch cards to touch-screen voting, the county ended up with 40 percent fewer polling booths. A large turnout will overwhelm the setup, says county Clerk Sherrie Swensen.
...
The presidential primary in February might be a good test of what is in store next year. Utah is participating in Super Tuesday with Mitt Romney on the ballot, and Swensen expects at least 40 percent turnout. If the vote goes anything like the recent city election, it could be a train wreck.
Utah, of course, was the home of one of the most notorious touch-screen voting system investigations in the country when Emery County Clerk Bruce Funk allowed renowned computer security expert Harri Hursti and e-voting watchdog group BlackBoxVoting.org to examine the new Diebold touch-screen systems forced on him for use by the state.

Their startling vulnerabilities revealed in the Diebold systems by the study were described at the time as a "major national security risk" and "the most severe security flaw ever discovered in a voting system" by Election Integrity, Voting System and Computer Security experts.

For his diligence on behalf of his voters, Funk, the 23-year elected County Clerk, was subsequently locked out of his office and removed from his job with the support of the very state officials who had gone into business with Diebold to create the mess the state now faces.

Fed: Economy loses speed, shopping slows By JEANNINE AVERSA, AP Economics Writer
Wed Nov 28, 6:17 PM ET

WASHINGTON - The economy grew at a slower pace in the late fall as shoppers watched their pennies heading into the busy holiday season.

The Federal Reserve's new snapshot, released Wednesday, suggested the strains from a severe housing slump and a painful credit crunch are affecting the behavior of individuals and businesses alike — making them somewhat more cautious.

Yet, the hope that the Federal Reserve will cut a key interest rate for a third time this year to energize the economy sent stocks soaring on Wall Street. The Dow Jones industrials jumped for the second day in a row, gaining 331.01 points to close at 13,289.45. It marked the index's biggest two-day point gain in five years.

"Reports on retail spending were downbeat in general," the Fed survey said. "Most retailers said that they were expecting a slow holiday season, with only small gains in sales volumes compared with last year," the Fed added.

Spending by consumers and businesses is the lifeblood of the country's economic activity. The big worry for economists is that consumers and businesses will cut back on spending and investing, dealing a blow to economic growth. The odds of a recession have grown this year. Still, Fed officials and many other economists remain hopeful the country will weather the financial storm without falling into recession.

Office of the Press Secretary
September 12, 2007

Notice: Continuation of the National Emergency with Respect to Certain Terrorist Attacks

Consistent with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing for 1 year the national emergency I declared on September 14, 2001, in Proclamation 7463, with respect to the terrorist attacks at the World Trade Center, New York, New York, the Pentagon, and aboard United Airlines flight 93, and the continuing and immediate threat of further attacks on the United States.

Because the terrorist threat continues, the national emergency declared on September 14, 2001, last extended on September 5, 2006, and the powers and authorities adopted to deal with that emergency, must continue in effect beyond September 14, 2007. Therefore, I am continuing in effect for an additional year the national emergency I declared on September 14, 2001, with respect to the terrorist threat.

This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and transmitted to the Congress.

Thy name is Karl Rove

...

During an interview with Charlie Rose, the erstwhile Boy Genius pulled out his bucket of whitewash and audaciously claimed that "one of the untold stories" about the war in Iraq is that the Bush administration had been "opposed' to Congress holding the vote authorizing the president to use military force in Iraq just a few weeks prior to the 2002 elections because "we thought it made it too political."

Too political? For Karl Rove? That's like saying something was too bloody for Count Dracula.

He went on to paint a picture of a White House pushed into war, and laid the blame for much of what has happened since on a Congress that had "made things move too fast." If not for Congress, you see, there would have been more time for weapons inspections, and to build a broader coalition.

It was a satiric tour de force worthy of Jonathan Swift or Stephen Colbert -- but Rove wasn't joking. He actually expected us to buy his load of b.s. Watching Rove, two things were perfectly clear: his disdain for the truth and his contempt for the American people know no bounds.

Venezuela is calling for oil to be sold in other currencies besides the U.S. dollar because of the greenback's declining value.

"The dollar has devalued and it is distorting the oil market because there is a financial crisis knocking on the U.S. door," Venezuelan Energy Minister Rafael Ramirez said in an interview with Venezuelan state television Tuesday.

"The oil price is $100 a barrel. But what dollar are we talking about? It's a dollar that makes you laugh," he said.

A strong earthquake has occurred, but a tsunami IS NOT expected along the coasts of Puerto Rico, the Virgin Islands, U.S. Atlantic and Gulf of Mexico states, and Eastern Canadian provinces. NO tsunami warning or watch is in effect for these areas.

Based on the depth of the earthquake within the earth, a widespread damaging tsunami IS NOT expected along the Puerto Rico, Virgin Islands, U.S. Atlantic, Eastern Canadian and Gulf of Mexico coasts. At coastal locations which have experienced strong ground shaking, local tsunamis are possible due to underwater landslides.

At 3:00 PM Atlantic Standard Time on November 29, an earthquake with preliminary magnitude 7.3 occurred near the Windward Islands, Caribbean Sea. (Refer to the United States Geological Survey for official earthquake parameters.)

From a New York Times report on how Barbra Steisand's endorsement of Hillary Clinton came about:

Word of Ms. Winfrey's plans to campaign for Mr. Obama, which came early Monday, caught Ms. Streisand's aides by surprise -- and they quickly guessed how it would look.

Clinton Campaign Polled Streisand Endorsement Before Announcing It

"We didn't know the Oprah thing was happening," one insisted. "These conversations were going on with the campaign for weeks and weeks now."

Still, the singer's value to Mrs. Clinton shouldn't be scoffed at, another Streisand associate said on Wednesday.

"We would've low-keyed it," the associate said. "But the campaign says it's a net plus. They polled it. Among Democratic primary voters, even in places like Iowa, they love Barbra. By the way, she just sold out concert tours around the world. And she's great for fund-raising. In fact, a fund-raising letter signed by her went out this morning."

So it seems we've got the first response from Rudy on the Shag Fund controversy. From the AP ...

Rudy Giuliani dismissed a report Wednesday that he expensed the cost of his security detail to obscure city offices for trips to a Long Island resort as the then-mayor began an extramarital affair with current wife Judith Nathan.

"First of all, it's not true," he said during a GOP debate hours after the story broke. "I had 24-hour security for the eight years that I was mayor. They followed me everyplace I went. It was because there were, you know, threats, threats that I don't generally talk about. Some have become public recently; most of them haven't.

"And they took care of me, and they put in their records, and they handled them in the way they handled them," Giuliani said. "I had nothing to do with the handling of their records, and they were handled, as far as I know, perfectly appropriately."

So he sort of denies it. But he actually just said he left it to the police and he figures they did it right. "They handled them in the way they handled them" -- what you might call Rudy's trademark aggressive truism.

Read closely, Rudy isn't denying anything. He's just saying he's not responsible.

White House Gives Darker Economic Forecast
Housing Slump, Tight Credit Spur Predictions Growth Will Dip; Unemployment To Rise
WASHINGTON, Nov. 29, 2007

CBS/AP) The White House on Thursday lowered its forecast for economic growth for next year and said unemployment will likely rise as the housing slump and tight credit stunt business expansion.

Under the administration's new forecast, gross domestic product, or GDP, will grow by 2.7 percent next year. Its old projection called for a stronger, 3.1 percent increase.

"The housing market decline has been more significant that we expected," Edward Lazear, chairman of the White House's Council of Economic Advisers, told reporters in a conference call. That more pronounced housing slump - along with the expectation that problems will persist into next year - was a big factor in the administration's downgrade of its economic growth forecast for 2008.

With the projection of slowing economic growth, the unemployment rate is projected to move up to 4.9 percent next year. That's up from a previous forecast of a 4.7 percent jobless rate but still would be considered fairly low by historical standards. The unemployment rate last year dipped to 4.6 percent, a six-year low.

Inflation, however, should improve. The White House expects consumer prices to increase by 2.1 percent next year, a moderation from a previous forecast of a 2.5 percent rise. That's encouraging news as oil prices have marched past $92 a barrel.

"While the difficulties in housing and credit markets and the effects of high energy prices will extract a penalty from growth, the U.S. economy has many strengths, and I expect the expansion to continue," said Treasury Secretary Henry Paulson.

The odds of a recession have grown this year. But the Bush administration, Federal Reserve officials and others remain hopeful that one can be avoided.

General from GOP debate linked to Democratic campaign

ST. PETERSBURG, Florida (CNN) — During Wednesday night's CNN-YouTube debate retired brigadier general Keith Kerr, posed a powerful question about gays in the military. The general had been invited to attend the debate and was given an opportunity to address whether his question was answered.

Following the debate, CNN learned that Kerr was listed as a member of the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Americans For Hillary Clinton Steering Committee.

CNN Senior Vice President and Executive Producer of the debate, David Bohrman, says, "We regret this, and apologize to the Republican candidates. We never would have used the General's question had we known that he was connected to any presidential candidate."

Prior to the debate, CNN had verified his military background and that he had not contributed any money to any presidential candidate.

Following the debate, Kerr told CNN that he's done no work for the Clinton campaign. He says he is a member of the Log Cabin Republicans and was representing no one other than himself.

The declassified memo, titled Israeli Nuclear Programme, released by the Nixon presidential library on Wednesday also indicated a desire to keep the alleged programme secret for fear of a nuclear arms race.

"In this case, public knowledge is almost as dangerous as possession itself," the memorandum, dated July 19 1969, said.

"What this means is that, while we might ideally like to halt actual Israeli possession, what we really want, at a minimum, may be just to keep Israeli possession from becoming an established international fact."There are currently 189 countries signed up to the NPT and of the four non-signatories three are close US allies - India, Pakistan and Israel.

Kissinger indicates that "as a minimum, we want Israel to sign the NPT".

Reduce Our Dependence on Oil with a Good Energy Bill.

Last week, the price of oil hit a near record high $99 per barrel, and with it, gasoline rose to an average of $3.09 per gallon. With winter coming, heating prices could rise too. This is a real threat to us all. Congress needs to act now to pass a comprehensive energy bill to reduce these threats.

So write Congress today and tell them to pass a good energy bill that:

interesting. a column over at real money says kudlow had a meeting with bush yesterday. kudlow as you probably know is one of the biggest right wing cheer leaders out there. gee, do you suppose he was getting his marching orders?

Where the heck are the last two Seder v. Maron episodes?

C'mon guys, I need my fix.

Glad you are doing well! Good to see you here.

I don't understand why they didn't pick Nola for the debate. Only reason I am thinking is more people will see the areas that haven't been restored and the admin doesn't want that now do they!!

President Vladimir Putin has warned Russians to vote for him in parliamentary elections this weekend or face the country's "disintegration".

Putin: Vote for me or face disintegration
Kasparov was greeted by supporters

He also appeared to confirm that he would step down next year, in a televised address to the nation ahead of the elections on Sunday.

Urging voters to back his United Russia party, Mr Putin warned that the liberal opposition which governed Russia after the 1991 Soviet collapse wanted to "return to a time of humiliation, dependency and disintegration."

Post-Debate: Undecided GOP Voter Leaning Towards Edwards
By: billw @ 11:16 AM - PST

During the post-debate show last night, CNN’s Erica Hill asked her room full of undecided Republican voters for a show of hands to see if any had settled on a candidate and there was a lot of shaking heads but not one hand raised.

But what really made the moment special was one undecided Republican voter who thought she ‘may’ have finally decided:

Sharon: “I think if the Democrats have John Edwards, I’d vote for John Edwards.” … “I had thought about Giuliani, I had thought about Mitt Romney, also Fred Thompson. I don’t care for his TV shows but you know, I thought maybe him being an actor that was just a persona and it’s not.”

I’ll take a wild guess that wasn’t exactly the answer any of the GOP contenders wanted to have broadcast to the masses, especially not Frederick of Hollywood.

Fox: Library's White House mug shots might confuse little kids

When the Daily News reported on an exhibit at the New York Public Library of photos of George Bush, Dick Cheney, Karl Rove, and Condoleezza Rice doctored to look like prison mug shots, it touched only lightly on the artistic purposes of the display and appeared to be deliberately aiming to stir up political controversy.

The article noted that one observer had found the exhibit "hysterical" but primarily emphasized that "not everyone was amused," including a pair of brothers who told the Daily News of their plans to set up their own "rogues gallery" of Democrats, with an emphasis on Bill Clinton and Ted Kennedy.

The exhibit, by artists Nora Ligorano and Marshall Reese, shows Bush holding up a board saying "Washington DC Police 1-28-2003." That is the date of the State of the Union address during which he uttered the notorious "sixteen words" based on the forged Niger documents, stating, "The British Government has learned that Saddam Hussein recently sought significant quantities of uranium from Africa." The date for Karl Rove is July 11, 2003, the day on which he leaked Valerie Plame's identity.

Venezuelans protest Chavez's referendum

Tens of Thousands of Venezuelans Protest Chavez's Referendum

Tens of thousands of people flooded the streets of the capital Thursday to oppose a referendum that would eliminate term limits for President Hugo Chavez and help him establish a socialist state in Venezuela.

Blowing whistles, waving placards and shouting "Not like this!" the marchers carried Venezuelan flags and dressed in blue — the chosen color of the opposition — as they streamed along Bolivar Avenue.

"This is a movement by those of us who oppose a change to this country's way of life, because what (the referendum) aims to do is impose totalitarianism," said former lawmaker Elias Matta. "There can't be a communist Venezuela, and that's why our society is reacting this way."

The rally marked the close of the opposition's campaign against the proposed constitutional changes, which will be submitted to a vote Sunday. Chavez plans to lead rallies in favor of the reforms Friday.

It is hard to tell how the deal went down, but most people here think it was the entire Republican Party, except for next Governor and others from Louisiana, did not want to have the focus on Bush's folly. Why the Democrats on the committee let them get away with it we just don't understand except maybe it was a trade off for having one of the debates in New York. Believe me we can handle a Presidential debate. We have had several Mardi Gras, plus all the other events that we have pulled off since the storm. The areas like the French Quarter and the Garden District are back to normal. The areas that still need help are outside what we call the sliver by the river. The 9th Ward is now a rural area. There are fields now where there once was a neighborhood. Over all We are pulling ourselves up by our boot straps with all the help we have gotten by the great people who have come down here to help and all those who pushed the Water Bill past the Presidential Veto. So thanks everybody, great work, still lots to be done but we are on our way.

U.S. sponsorship of Sunni groups worries Iraq's government
By Leila Fadel | McClatchy Newspapers

BAGHDAD — The American campaign to turn Sunni Muslims against Islamic extremists is growing so quickly that Iraq's Shiite Muslim leaders fear that it's out of control and threatens to create a potent armed force that will turn against the government one day.

The United States, which credits much of the drop in violence to the campaign, is enrolling hundreds of people daily in "concerned local citizens" groups. More than 5,000 have been sworn in in the last eight days, for a total of 77,542 as of Tuesday. As many as 10 groups were created in the past week, bringing the total number to 192, according to the American military.

U.S. officials said they were screening new members — who generally are paid $300 a month to patrol their neighborhoods — and were subjecting them to tough security measures. More than 60,000 have had fingerprints and DNA taken and had retinal scans, American officials said, steps that will allow them to be identified later, should they turn against the government. The officials said they planned to cap membership in the groups at 100,000.

But that hasn't calmed mounting concerns among aides to Prime Minister Nouri al Maliki, who charge that some of the groups include "terrorists" who attack Shiite residents in their neighborhoods. Some of the new "concerned citizens" are occupying houses that terrified Shiite families abandoned, they said.

It also hasn't quieted criticism that the program is trading long-term Iraqi stability for short-term security gains.

"There is a danger here that we are going to have armed all three sides: the Kurds in the north, the Shiite and now the Sunni militias," said Bruce Riedel, a former CIA analyst who's now at The Brookings Institution, a center-left policy organization in Washington, D.C.

Underscoring the division, Sunni politicians said the creation of the groups was justified because it made up for the U.S. decision to disband Saddam Hussein's Sunni-led army shortly after Baghdad fell in 2003. They also said the groups helped balance the infiltration of Iraq's security forces by Shiite militias during the rapid U.S.-sponsored expansion of those forces in 2004 and 2005.

Markey to Push for Bill on Future of the Internet
by: Matt Stoller
Wed Nov 28, 2007 at 19:02:17 PM EST
So a long-standing irritant has been the reluctance of Democrats to take up the issue of net neutrality in Congress. It was left off of Nancy Pelosi's Innovation Agenda, and there have been no hearings despite the Pearl Jam incident and the NARAL/Verizon censorship.

That is about to end. Ed Markey is putting forward a bill on the future of the internet. It's not clear exactly what is in it, and it is being framed as a 'net neutrality' bill by reporters, but it is unlikely this legislation is going to mandate net neutrality.

This is potentially a very exciting development.

Bill Clinton's Lying Game
by: Matt Stoller
Wed Nov 28, 2007 at 16:47:40 PM EST
So Bill Clinton was now against the war from the beginning? I have to say, this episode sure gives me doubts about that.

At a meeting of a group of well-heeled liberal donors called the Democracy Alliance this month in Austin, he lost his temper when an audience member suggested that Hillary Clinton should follow the lead of 2004 Democratic vice presidential nominee John Edwards and renounce her 2002 vote authorizing military force in Iraq, audience members said. He glowered and lectured the donor that it was more important to look to the future than to debate the past in Iraq.

The evidence suggests that Clinton is acting in bad faith about his position on the Iraq war, when it seemed as if he supported Bush's actions. But it's definitely bad faith when you consider this bullying episode where he attacked a donor for asking his wife to revisit her vote authorizing the war since the future is what's important, and then goes back and revisits his position on the war.

And then there's this, from Hillary Clinton, on whether we are safer since 9/11.

"I believe we are safer than we were," Mrs. Clinton said. "We are not yet safe enough, and I have proposed over the last year a number of policies that I think we should be following."

This is transparent bullshit. It's a much more dangerous world with more terrorists, a weaker dollar, more dependence on oil, and a much higher chance of resource wars and a nuclear armed Iran. More than that, it's an indictment of Clinton's own campaign, since if Bush's policies have made us safer, why should voters choose a Democrat in 2008?

And then there's Hillary Clinton offering an emissary-like job to Colin Powell.

Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton has been talking for some time now about how, if she is elected president, she will ask both Democratic and Republican statesmen to hit the road on her behalf to declare that "bipartisan foreign policy is back" in post-George W. Bush America.

All three of these episodes - offering a job to Powell in hopes of having his non-existent credibility rub off, making the argument that Iraq has made us safer, and Clinton lying about his support for the war - are part of a pattern. I don't agree with Digby that Clinton knows she'll get no thanks for appointing Powell, I think she genuinely believes that Republicans can be good faith operators. Here's her philosophy.

"That's what I intend to do," she said. "I intend to win in November 2008, and then I intend to build a centrist coalition in this country that is like what I remember when I was growing up."

I think progressive activists have to come to grips with just how psychologically and institutionally unprepared our Democratic nominee will be for the hyperpartisan and vicious right-wing. Despite everything that's happened, they cannot bring themselves to acknowledge that the modern Republican Party and the media is institutionally organized around corruption and bad faith, and that public participation in politics is the only recourse. I tried to sketch this philosophical disagreement in the Lying Game, and I'm going to keep coming back to it.

Clinton believes that if you prepare, present the evidence, and work the system, you will win. She has to believe it, because her entire career is premised on huge barricades between insiders and the public that are larger than the barricades between Republicans and Democrats. She may wish in her heart that the world worked differently, she may wish in her heart that making a strong progressive case to the public would bring great change, but she doesn't operate that way. She offers jobs to Colin Powell, a man who helped destroy Bill Clinton, she ratifies the Iraq war and refuses to consider her own huge and obvious complicity with the last seven years of our foreign policy. It's a huge problem.

She may want to believe that the system can work for Democrats without huge systemic change that moves us forward and not into the centrism of her youth. But that just isn't so.

Making all the Rodney King's that aren't THE Rodney King...very happy.

Court Document PDF

Defendants in the case are J. Kenneth Blackwell, the Ohio Secretary of
State, in his official capacity, as well as the Lawrence, Scioto, Cuyahoga, Franklin, Medina, and
Trumbull County Boards of Elections, and all of the Boards’ members in their official capacities.
Plaintiffs bring their claims pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1973gg-9 and 42 U.S.C. § 1983.
Plaintiffs allege that the timing and manner in which Defendants intend to hold hearings
regarding pre-election challenges to the Plaintiff Voters’ voter registration violate both the
National Voter Registration Act and the Due Process Clause of the Constitution. According to
the complaint,2 the Republican National Committee has engaged in an effort to challenge voters’
eligibility, culminating in the October 22, 2004 filing of pre-election challenges to the eligibility
of approximately 35,000 Ohio voters.
