Sorry Rosa .. paid my albeit obscure repects last thread:

Death, be not proud, though some have called thee

Mighty and dreadful, for thou art not so;

For those whom thou think'st thou dost overthrow

Die not, poor Death, nor yet canst thou kill me.

From rest and sleep, which but thy pictures be,

Much pleasure; then from thee much more must flow

And soonest our best men with thee do go,

Rest of their bones, and soul's delivery.

Thou art slave to fate, chance, kings, and desperate men,

And dost with poison, war, and sickness dwell;

And poppy or charms can make us sleep as well

And better than thy stroke; why swell'st thou then?

One short sleep past, we wake eternally,

And death shall be no more; Death thou shalt die.

I bet ya some asshole right winger will say something disreputable about Parks tomorrow.

But then, what would you expect from the right wing?

Excpect snide remarks about how "the left" thinks she's a saint, but she really was just a criminal. After all, it was the law that she give up her seat. Even if the law wasn't just, it still makes her a criminal.

ROSA PARKS

Rosa Parks, a black seamstress whose refusal to relinquish her seat to a white man on a city bus in Montgomery, Ala., almost 50 years ago grew into a mythic event that helped touch off the civil rights movement of the 1950's and 1960's, died at her home yesterday in Detroit. She was 92 years old.

GOP Tragedies jog GOP shift on stem cells, Until it Effects them, They Don't Care

COPLEY NEWS SERVICE

WASHINGTON – Rep. Jo Ann Emerson, R-Mo., who has repeatedly authored bills that would ban abortion, once told a wheelchair-using young man she could never support the stem cell research that he believed might one day help him walk.

But then her close friends had a baby with muscular dystrophy, her husband developed cancer and died, and her mother-in-law succumbed to dementia. The day after her mother-in-law's death in May, Emerson stood on the House floor and asked: "Do they not have as much right to life as that embryo that is going to be tossed away?"

SNIP

Longtime abortion foe Bill Frist, the Senate majority leader from Tennessee, referenced his ethical responsibilities as a transplant surgeon when he announced this summer that he would break with Bush and support the House bill. "I am a physician," Frist told his colleagues. "My profession is healing. I have devoted my life to attending to the needs of the sick and suffering. . . . In all forms of stem cell research, I see . . . great promise to heal." Rep. Joe Barton, R-Texas, who has opposed abortion for all of his 21 years in Congress, said his support for stem cell research is based partly on family tragedies: His father died of complications from diabetes at 71, his brother died of liver cancer at 44, and his first granddaughter died in the womb because of a crimped umbilical cord. Other prominent, anti-abortion Republicans who supported the House bill included Bakersfield Rep. Bill Thomas, who is chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, and Utah Sen. Orrin Hatch.

Presidents Past Inspire Bush's Damage Control

Facing a convergence of crises threatening his administration, President Bush and his team are devising plans to salvage the remainder of his presidency by applying the lessons of past two-term chief executives and refocusing attention on the president's larger economic and foreign policy goals.

To deal with what they consider the darkest days of the Bush presidency, White House advisers have developed a twofold strategy -- confront head-on problems such as the Iraq death toll, while shifting attention to other areas such as conservative economic policies, according to a senior White House official, who spoke about internal deliberations only under the condition of anonymity. Bush advisers are taking clues from the playbooks of former presidents Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton, both of whom weathered second-term scandals.

the bush administration failure should by now amplifying each other.

(eg. Rice failure to send positive signal in middle east causes high oil price. The over bad economic policy plus bad disaster management causes energy price spike. All those combines to bad growth. on top of crisis of leadership.

but we can't never under estimate Rove. He still have a couple of media tricks he can pull.)

Everyone is so...oh Rosa Parks this...Rosa Parks that...bitch just was tired and got her ass beat. If she weren't so goddam lazy she would've never had her name in the news anyhow!

here is a funny story. well not funny. my roomate lost his job, it was a pretty good job.
Anyway, he was showing me his new bagel uniform
and he said that he felt hopeful because women
like men in uniforms.

But then he got sad for a second and said
"But everyone will think I have low admirations."

Screamin ass white boys and gals. Thinking they gonna do something to help the "po black folk" by whoopin and hollering about Rosa parks. Go sit your ass down in a bus and you done your duty.

Cracker asses!

I don't know if the market is slow. We've had 8 showings (including 2 last week) since it's been on the market. We've only had one bad one, and the woman was in a crabby mood anyway, so we dismissed that.

We're using a realtor. A problem I think is that everyone told us we were going to sell quickly (including friends and co-workers), like in 2-4 weeks, and it hasn't happened. Like I said, it's only been a month anyway, but I'm very impatient.

We're selling a condo, not a house. So I don't think it's going to be too long. The last 2 clients love our walk in closet. Huge amount of space. They really dug that. So we told our realtor to lean on them (gently), and tell them we're willing to negotiate.

But then he got sad for a second and said "But everyone will think I have low admirations."

Also have your realtor get feed back from people who come to showings and Open Houses. What would they change to make it more comfortable for them?

There is this great show called "Designed to Sell" on HGTV .. shows great cheap ways to alter your place to get it to sell and sometimes sell for more than you are asking.

Things like fresh paint. Remove all furniture that is un-necessary .. makes the place seem bigger. Have a theme for rooms .. Bedroom, Extra Bedroom, Den, what have you. Clear out the clutter .. move out boxes to another place garage.. what have you. Basically, prepare for your move and leaving the place by removing everything you absolutely do not need.

Lemme see if I can find a link .. it's pretty cool. I wish that would work to sell this place .. but it won't! : /

We've done quite a lot of what you've written. We re-tiled the kitchen (with adhesive tile, easily removed if the new owners dislike it), painted the backsplash in the kitchen (i.e. behind the sink), and removed as much clutter as possible.

And no erotic novels lying about the place (even though that would be interesting).

Someone at work said I should get a haircut, as my hair looks likes Einstein's and Mitch Hedberg....

In referring to my hair, I meant I may be scaring potential buyers (but I comb it a lot more these days, as I like to take care of it).

I'd like to meet David Cross and offer him some of my hair. I have too much as it is.

thanks. i think i need to get off my blue kick
and look forward to the rest of my life.

Hey willow!

I'm in such a good mood, yet I no not why.

I may have rapped my head.

One of the most notorious films ever made comes out on DVD tomorrow. Not Gigli (or Wet Hot American Summer), but Cannibal Holocaust. The story starts with a NYU professor flying to the Amazon to find 4 documentary filmmakers. The documentary filmmakers went to film a "lost" cannibal tribe. The filmmakers disappeared. The professor goes to the Amazon, discovers they are dead, and finds their footage. He goes back to NYU to screen it, and is devastated by what he finds.

The filmmakers of The Blair Shit Project, essentially, ripped this film off. This film is better, but it is incredibly gruesome and depressing. Not your typical Sunday matinee, to say the least...

It must be awfull being lonely AND dumb.

She must really miss the spotlight…

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Cindy Sheehan, the military mother who made her son's death in Iraq a rallying point for the anti-war movement, plans to tie herself to the White House fence to protest the milestone of 2,000 U.S. military deaths in Iraq.

"I'm going to go to Washington, D.C. and I'm going to give a speech at the White House, and after I do, I'm going to tie myself to the fence and refuse to leave until they agree to bring our troops home," Sheehan said in a telephone interview last week as the milestone approached.
"And I'll probably get arrested, and when I get out, I'll go back and do the same thing," she said.

i need a break from this:

Bush’s Potemkin village presidency - Sidney Blumenthal - 23-9-2005

[excerpt]

//Even the words are the same. On Iraq, President Bush declared on 4 Feb 2004, “We will do what it takes. We will not leave until the job is done.”

On post-Hurricane Katrina reconstruction, on 15 Sep 2005, he eerily echoed, “We will do what it takes, we will stay as long as it takes.”

It was reassuring for the nation to be told by the president in his televised address that he intends to “stay” in the United States and not cut and run.

[....]

The jarring reverberation of repetitive rhetoric suggested a presidency on a feedback loop.//

so i'll write this...

"u're infatuated with reagan", war-dog

"it's time to come in from the cold,

sunshine.

take my hand & we'll walk on water.

be not afraid."

several days later, war-dog's bloated body is found washed ashore

frothy surf washes over a tiny crab feasting on an eyeball

& it takes refuge in one of war-dog's nostrils

which one?

can't disclosed while "there's an on-going investigation"

The Money always talks don't it???

=================================================

US Senate 'finds Iraq oil cash in Galloway's wife's bank account'

From James Bone in New York and David Charter in Washington



GEORGE GALLOWAY faces possible criminal charges after a US Senate investigation tracked $150,000 (£85,000) in Iraqi oil money to his wife’s bank account in Jordan.
The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations will refer the Respect Party MP for possible prosecution after concluding that he gave “false and misleading” testimony at his appearance before the panel in May.

The sub-committee claimed that, through intermediaries, Mr Galloway and the Mariam Appeal were granted eight allocations of Iraqi crude oil totalling 23 million barrels from 1999 to 2003.

It will also forward the new information to British authorities, saying it raised questions about Mr Galloway’s financial disclosure and the payment of illegal kickbacks to Iraq. “We have what we would call the smoking gun,” said Senator Norm Coleman, the sub-committee’s Republican chairman.

The sub-committee’s report, released today, was provoked by Mr Galloway’s clash with the senators — which he turned into a book entitled Mr Galloway goes to Washington. In that encounter, the anti-war MP vehemently denied receiving oil allocations from Iraq.

Well you know what this means..

I must add Galloway to the "The List"

=================================================

Peace group urges Congress to stop Iraq war funds
WASHINGTON:

As the U.S. military death toll in Iraq neared 2,000, the pacifist group American Friends Service Committee urged Congress on Monday to halt funding for the Iraqi war.

''As parents, citizens and compassionate people, we have to demand that the funding of this exhausted war stops now, before one more death occurs or one more dollar is spent,'' Lila Lipscomb, whose son Sgt. Michael Pederson was killed in Iraq in 2003, said in a statement announcing the campaign.

Lipscomb was set to speak at an anti-war event in Lansing, Michigan, on the day after the 2,000th U.S. military death is reported, one of hundreds of such demonstrations planned across the United States.

As of today, the reported U.S. military death toll in Iraq stood at 1,997.

Cindy Sheehan, who made her soldier son's death in Iraq a rallying point for the anti-war movement, said she plans to tie herself to the White House fence to protest the 2,000th death.

''I'm going to tie myself to the fence and refuse to leave until they agree to bring our troops home,'' Sheehan said in a telephone interview last week as the milestone approached. ''And I'll probably get arrested, and when I get out, I'll go back and do the same thing.'' The anti-war group Peace Action called on Congress to pull troops out of Iraq.

President George W. ''Bush's insistence on continued military occupation feeds the insurgency. Congress must now take the leadership role in bringing our troops home,'' said Kevin M. Martin, executive director of Peace Action.

Galloway challenges US senators

BBC

George Galloway has rejected claims he lied under oath to the US Senate committee which accused him of receiving oil cash from Saddam Hussein.
The Respect MP ridiculed the senators' claims during a hearing in May.

Now they say fresh evidence links him and his estranged wife to Iraq's oil-for-food programme. Mr Galloway and his wife both deny the allegations.

Mr Galloway said: "I am ready to fly to the US today... to face such a charge (perjury) because it is simply false."

Coleman should focus on "Brownie" those lies he told about what he was doing during Katrina, Can be Proven.

HAHAHA

Mr Galloway said: "I am ready to fly to the US today... to face such a charge (perjury) because it is simply false."

Bush says military action 'last resort' against Syria

By Philippe Naughton and agencies



President Bush said today that military action was a "last resort" in dealing with Syria if Damascus refused to co-operate with a United Nations investigation into the murder of Rafik Hariri, the former Lebanese prime minister.

The UN Security Council is due to be briefed tonight by Detlev Mehlis, the German prosecutor whose report last week found evidence of high-level Syrian involvement in the bombing that killed Mr Hariri and 20 others in Beirut in February.

US and French diplomats in New York are leading the drive to have a strongly worded resolution passed by the council next week calling on Syria to co-operate fully with the Mehlis probe.

"A military (option) is always the last choice of a president," Mr Bush told al-Arabiya television in an interview broadcast today. "I am hoping that they will cooperate. It is the last -- very last option... I’ve worked hard for diplomacy and will continue to work the diplomatic angle on this issue."

Galloway challenges the US Senate committee to charge him

Coleman uses Saddam Cronies as Reliable Witness's

HAHAHA

Galloway's Website

The Respect MP George Galloway has thrown down a challenge to the US Senate homeland security committee to charge him with perjury and "I'll see you in court".

Galloway said that he was prepared to fly out immediately to the United States if Senator Norm Coleman, who heads the committee, was prepared to bring charges. The MP has just seen a press release from the committee which alleges that he gave "false and misleading testimony" on May 17. "I deny that absolutely. As I've said a thousand times, I've never benefited personally. Let Coleman bring these charges and I'll rebut them totally."

It is understood that senior Iraqi members of the deposed regime have made statements to the committee, including Tariq Aziz, Taha Yasin Ramadan, the former vice-president of the country, and Amer Rashid, the former oil minister. "I've never met Ramadan or Rashid but I do know that they are facing charges which may carry a death sentence. As is Tariq Aziz. He has been held incommunicado for two years - and we know what goes on in US-controlled prisons in Iraq - and we also know from his lawyers that he has been offered a deal to testify," said Galloway. "On the one hand the US government accuses these men of being homicidal maniacs, on the other they assert that their coerced testimony is utterly trustworthy. Well, let Senator Coleman bring them and his unnamed sources to court in a case against me, and we'll see what the world concludes."

I missed that..!!

Where did it say that???

super-majority = 60% in the US Senate and is NEVER greater than a two-thirds (66%) majority.

No fewer than 82 per cent, according to the report, declared themselves 'strongly opposed' to the presence of coalition troops.

That a super-duper-majority!

And to add to that..

I you are correct about our Congress..

Where is the vote???

No..

You are cheerin for Saddam and the Insurgency again..

But we both know he is finished..

kevin's left

well ain't that typical of lefties

Okay Dog... explain how "strongly opposed to the presence of coalition troops" does not mean they want us out!

Don't think I can use this as a Terror Threat...think it will have to be in a bigger city.

Threat prompts closure of Long Beach Airport

LONG BEACH, Calif. - Long Beach Airport was shut down Tuesday morning because of a bomb threat, officials said.

The threat was made in a telephone call placed to the facility around 3 a.m., said airport spokeswoman Sharon Diggs-Jackson.

All early flights were canceled, said Nancy Pratt, a spokeswoman for the Long Beach Police Department. Planes begin arriving and departing from the airport after 7 a.m., she said.

Police were searching all areas of the airport with bomb-sniffing dogs, Pratt said.

They had a 5 Million man army, that crapola of waiting to train them is BS. They want us out Bush doesn't want to leave.

Zogby on Bush's "bounce"

by Michael Stickings

According to Zogby, President Bush's approval rating is back up to 45%:

President Bush, his job approval rating beleaguered by poor marks in the wake of Hurricane Katrina, rebounded from historic lows this summer to 45% in Zogby International’s latest poll, with job approval numbers bumping back up into the range where they have hovered for most of his second term.

The survey also found that, while voters do not give the President passing marks on his handling of the Iraq War, half (50%) believe the recently-passed Iraqi constitution is a major step in the right direction for the strife-torn nation that will lead to peace and democracy. Meanwhile, 37% believe Iraq is on the brink of a civil war...

While the President’s overall job approval is up, and a 52% majority of voters hold a favorable opinion of him, his handling of any number of issues continues to score negative marks—including his handling of the War on Terror, which is now disapproved by 53% in the survey; this is typically President Bush’s strongest area in the survey.

Doesn't surprise me that War Dog would think he could convince us of anything he wants. For nearly 5 years, the Bush administration has tried to tell us that sending jobs overseas increased jobs here in the United States.

Up is Down.

Bad is Good.

Gallup: Americans to Bush -- Withdraw Troops from Iraq

Published: September 06, 2005 12:55 PM ET

NEW YORK Two separate Gallup polls, detailed today in the organization's weekly report, show that Americans favor withdrawing some or all U.S. troops from Iraq.

Perhaps most revealing was a new poll which asked 1,007 Americans, "If you could talk with President Bush for 15 minutes about the situation in Iraq, what would you, personally, advise him to do?" The poll taken in late August found that 41% said they would tell him to pull troops out of Iraq and end our involvement there.

Poll: Fewer than half think U.S. will win in Iraq

http://www.cnn.com/2005/POLITICS/09/22/iraq.poll/

WASHINGTON (CNN) -- A CNN/USA Today/Gallup poll released Thursday indicated fewer than half of Americans believe the United States will win the Iraq war, and 55 percent of those surveyed said it should speed up withdrawal plans.

Only 21 percent said the United States definitely would win the war in Iraq, which began when a U.S.-led coalition invaded in 2003 to topple Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein. Another 22 percent said they thought the United States probably would win.

I'm out also...

Wanda your incharge.

Use the whip if you have too.

Poll: Americans Favor Bush's Impeachment If He Lied about Iraq

By a margin of 50% to 44%, Americans want Congress to consider impeaching President Bush if he lied about the war in Iraq, according to a new poll commissioned by AfterDowningStreet.org, a grassroots coalition that supports a Congressional investigation of President Bush's decision to invade Iraq in 2003.

The poll was conducted by Ipsos Public Affairs, the highly-regarded non-partisan polling company. The poll interviewed 1,001 U.S. adults on October 6-9.

$203,328,718,546

Lawrence Wilkerson, a retired Army colonel who served as chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell, addressed the administration's arrogance and ineptitude in a talk last week that was astonishingly candid by Washington standards.

"We have courted disaster in Iraq, in North Korea, in Iran," said Mr. Wilkerson. "Generally, with regard to domestic crises like Katrina, Rita we haven't done very well on anything like that in a long time. And if something comes along that is truly serious, something like a nuclear weapon going off in a major American city, or something like a major pandemic, you are going to see the ineptitude of this government in a way that will take you back to the Declaration of Independence."

Yep, 2005 has been a very good year!!

Very good diary here. Rosa Parks spent decades working to make this country a better place:

Rosa Parks, Misremembered

Excerpt:

...the Times' obituary describes Parks' arrest nonetheless as an event which "turned a very private woman into a reluctant symbol and torchbearer..." Parks was certainly reluctant to see too personal valoration of her as heroine distract from the broader movement. But she was not private about her politics. And her refusal to give up her bus seat was nothing new for her. As she would later tell an interviewer, "My resistance to being mistreated on the buses and anywhere else was just a regular thing with me and not just that day."

The myth of Parks as a pre-political seamstress who was too physically worn out to move has such staying power not because there's any factual basis but because it appeals to an all-too popular narrative about how social change happens in America: When things get bad enough, an individual steps up alone, unsupported and unmediated, and spontaneously resists. And then an equally spontaneous movement follows. Such a myth makes good TV, but it's poor history.

Movement-building takes hard work, no matter how righteous the cause or how desperate the circumstances.

greed and pride my friend will bring down anythng.

Size of Bankruptcy Bubble Surprises Banks

Now that the new bankruptcy law has taken effect, was the investment worth it? The early data suggest that sometimes, you have to be careful what you wish for.

Bankruptcy filings were supposed to snowball in the months before the tough new law went into effect on Oct. 17. But the avalanche of petitions, and the lines of debtors streaming out the courthouse doors caught even the credit card issuers who supported the new law by surprise.

In recent days, the five biggest bank issuers of credit cards have said that the unexpectedly large flood of filings shaved hundreds of million of dollars off their earnings in the third quarter.

But with tens of thousands of petitions still being processed and Hurricane Katrina's impact on cardholders still being sorted out, the bankruptcy rush is likely to result in well over a billion dollars worth of losses by the end of the year.

Contract leaves Pentagon with poorly armored cars, little recourse

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=102x1874276

WASHINGTON - When the Pentagon went shopping for seven armored cars for senior Iraqi policemen, U.S. officials turned to an Iraqi supplier to provide them with some hardened Mercedes-Benzes.

After spending nearly $1 million, here's what they got: Six vehicles with bad armor and run-down mechanics. They also were a little more than slightly used: The newest model was a 1996; the oldest a 1994.

According to the special inspector general for Iraq reconstruction, the seventh auto is missing.

In a report released Monday, the inspector general said the Pentagon couldn't get its money back because it did such a bad job negotiating the no-bid deal.

In June, the Pentagon's Multi-National Security Transition Command-Iraq bought the seven Mercedes-Benzes for $135,000 each. They were supposed to include high-quality armor that could withstand high-velocity rifle shots.

Two Republicans harshly criticize Bush foreign policy

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=103x167658

WASHINGTON - The criticisms are searing and sound like they might have come from Democratic political operatives or the liberal corner of the blogosphere:

Foreign policy under President Bush is run by a secretive "cabal" headed by Vice President Dick Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld. Bush and Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's dream of spreading democracy around the Middle East is misguided and could backfire badly.

Those, however, are the sentiments of two leading Republicans, both associated with the Bush administration, who've broken ranks in the last week to criticize the invasion of Iraq and other foreign ventures.

One is retired Army Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, who was chief of staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell. The other is Brent Scowcroft, a former national security adviser, close friend to President George H.W. Bush and mentor to Rice.

mornin ferns.
hopelessly hopefull here.
hope you r the same.

You might recall the Republicans (and the media) being giddy over Clinton's fall circa 1997 - remember "The Incredible Shrinking President" story line? Fiunny thing is, he was still in office, and stayed there right until January 2001.

Just as Bush will stay in, right until January 2009. Bush isn't running for anything, and the Republicans control the house and senate (and there's very little liklihood of that changing, given the gerrymandering at the house level and the current set of candidates up at the Senate level).

Which means.... the poll numbers are utterly irrelevant - just as they were in 1997.

http://talkleft.com/new_archives/012355.html

"The myth of Parks as a pre-political seamstress who was too physically worn out to move has such staying power not because there's any factual basis but because it appeals to an all-too popular narrative about how social change happens in America..."

Also, a lot of folks think they can slide through life being lazy, mean-spirited and greedy asshats, and then redeem themselves with one good or maybe even a heroic act. That's why folks like to believe that myth.

I reckon that's also why Bush is religious. He believes that since he's saved, redeemed, he's off the hook for a lifetime of bad acts. It is an appealing notion to a lot of folks. Why should Bush even try being good man or undoing the damage he's done? It's hard work!

Where does Bush 43 fit in with these numbers? He looks above average to me.

Bill Clinton: 37 percent

George H. W. Bush: 29 percent

Ronald Reagan: 35 percent

Jimmy Carter: 28 percent

Gerald Ford: 37 percent

Richard Nixon: 24 percent

Lyndon Johnson: 35 percent

don't bet on it. It's another one of your wishfull thinking.

http://www.usatoday.com/news/washington/2005-10-17-bushapproval_x.htm

Every president since 1963 has had approval ratings at one time or another that were lower than Bush's current rating. Those ratings include Lyndon Johnson's 35%, Richard Nixon's 24%, Gerald Ford's 37%, Jimmy Carter's 28%, Ronald Reagan's 35%, the elder George Bush's 29% and Bill Clinton's 37%.

Speculation about the Plame Affair reaches all the way to the vice president

by James Ridgeway
October 25th, 2005 9:50 AM

WASHINGTON, D.C.—As the tenure runs out for the grand jury in the Valerie Plame leak case this week, the bottom line question is not so much whether Bush administration insiders I. Lewis Libby and/or Karl Rove will get indicted, but whether special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald’s investigation will reach Vice President Dick Cheney himself. Rove and Libby, Cheney's chief of staff, have been notified that they are at serious legal risk in the inquiry.
Tuesday's New York Times reports that Libby learned about Plame, a covert CIA officer and wife of administration critic Joe Wilson, from talking with Cheney. According to the Times, this new revelation, drawn from "notes of the previously undisclosed conversation" between the two, contradicts Libby's testimony to the grand jury.

"It would not be illegal for either Mr. Cheney or Mr. Libby, both of whom are presumably cleared to know the government's deepest secrets, to discuss a C.I.A. officer or her link to a critic of the administration," the Times explains. "But any effort by Mr. Libby to steer investigators away from his conversation with Mr. Cheney could be considered . . . an illegal effort to impede the inquiry."

US State Department 'charm offensive' hits bumps

But Bush team continues to reach out to win 'hearts and minds' abroad.

By Tom Regan | csmonitor.com

A State Department 'charm' offensive in the Muslim world has been "fraught with missteps and mixed messages," according to government officials and Middle East experts. The Boston Globe reports that the latest blow to the campaign happened last week when Secretary of State Condeleezza Rice told a US Senate panel that terrorism "has its roots in this very malignant water that is the Middle East." Many US allies in the region were outraged at Ms. Rice's remark.

Several other recent events – such the airing of footage shot by an Australian news team of US soldiers burning the bodies of Taliban fighters in Afghanistan – have set back a $680 million campaign that President Bush considers vitally important. Mr. Bush appointed his longtime friend and adviser Karen Hughes as undersecretary for public diplomacy to head the effort.

Exception Sought in Detainee Abuse Ban

October 25, 2005

By ERIC SCHMITT
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24 - Stepping up a confrontation with the Senate over the handling of detainees, the White House is insisting that the Central Intelligence Agency be exempted from a proposed ban on abusive treatment of suspected Qaeda militants and other terrorists.

The Senate defied a presidential veto threat nearly three weeks ago and approved, 90 to 9, an amendment to a $440 billion military spending bill that would ban the use of "cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment" of any detainee held by the United States government. This could bar some techniques that the C.I.A. has used in some interrogations overseas.

But in a 45-minute meeting last Thursday, Vice President Dick Cheney and the C.I.A. director, Porter J. Goss, urged Senator John McCain, the Arizona Republican who wrote the amendment, to support an exemption for the agency, arguing that the president needed maximum flexibility in dealing with the global war on terrorism, said two government officials who were briefed on the meeting. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the confidential nature of the discussions.

Mr. McCain rejected the proposed exemption, which stated that the measure "shall not apply with respect to clandestine counterterrorism operations conducted abroad, with respect to terrorists who are not citizens of the United States, that are carried out by an element of the United States government other than the Department of Defense and are consistent with the Constitution and laws of the United States and treaties to which the United States is a party, if the president determines that such operations are vital to the protection of the United States or its citizens from terrorist attack."

Spokesmen for Mr. McCain, Mr. Cheney and Mr. Goss all declined to comment on the matter Monday, citing the confidentiality of the talks.

Galloway is on Saddam's Payroll...

=================================================

US Senate 'finds Iraq oil cash in Galloway's wife's bank account'

From James Bone in New York and David Charter in Washington



GEORGE GALLOWAY faces possible criminal charges after a US Senate investigation tracked $150,000 (£85,000) in Iraqi oil money to his wife’s bank account in Jordan.
The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations will refer the Respect Party MP for possible prosecution after concluding that he gave “false and misleading” testimony at his appearance before the panel in May.

The sub-committee claimed that, through intermediaries, Mr Galloway and the Mariam Appeal were granted eight allocations of Iraqi crude oil totalling 23 million barrels from 1999 to 2003.

It will also forward the new information to British authorities, saying it raised questions about Mr Galloway’s financial disclosure and the payment of illegal kickbacks to Iraq. “We have what we would call the smoking gun,” said Senator Norm Coleman, the sub-committee’s Republican chairman.

The sub-committee’s report, released today, was provoked by Mr Galloway’s clash with the senators — which he turned into a book entitled Mr Galloway goes to Washington. In that encounter, the anti-war MP vehemently denied receiving oil allocations from Iraq.

But the report provides bank account details tracking payments from an oil company through a Jordanian middleman to Mr Galloway’s nowestranged wife, Amineh Abu- Zayyad, and his Mariam Appeal fund.

“Galloway was anything but straight with the Congress. He was anything but straight with the American people. There was a lot of bombast. There was a lot of sound and fury signifying nothing,” Senator Coleman said. “We take very seriously the importance of testifying honestly before this committee . . .” he said. “We will forward matters relating to Galloway’s false and misleading statements to the proper authorities here and in Great Britain.”

--But I sure hope your party believes that sort of bullshit.--

In this rhetorical environment characterized by limited information and boundless speculation, those defending the officials at the center of Fitzgerald's probe have advanced numerous falsehoods and distortions. As Media Matters for America documents below, the media have not only failed to challenge many of these claims, but also repeated them.

Falsehood: It is legally significant whether the leakers disclosed Plame's name in their conversations with reporters

Falsehood: Wilson said that Cheney sent him to Niger

Falsehood: Plame suggested Wilson for the trip to Niger

Falsehood: Wilson was not qualified to investigate the Niger claims

Falsehood: Plame's CIA employment was widely known

Falsehood: Fitzgerald must prove that Plame's covert status was leaked

Falsehood: Fitzgerald's investigation was originally limited to possible violation of 1982 law

Falsehood: Leak investigation is the result of partisan motivations

Falsehood: Leaks go on all the time in Washington

Virginia oil firm admits kickbacks to Iraq

Thu Oct 20, 2005 12:48 PM ET

By Jeanne King
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A Virginia oil trading company pleaded guilty on Thursday to charges of scheming to pay more than $400,000 in kickbacks to Iraq for oil purchases made as part of the defunct U.N. oil-for-food program for Iraq.

Midway Trading, a Reston, Virginia-based firm, agreed to pay a $250,000 fine in a plea deal, according to the Manhattan district attorney's office.

The kickback scheme also involved one of its trading partners, Bulf Oil, the office said. But it provided no details on Bulf Oil.

The case grew out of an investigation into the scandal-ridden $64 billion oil-for-food program launched by District Attorney Robert Morgenthau's office this year.

Also investigating corruption in the program, which was shut down in 2003 after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, are the federal U.S. Attorney's office in the Southern District of New York, several congressional committees and a U.N.-appointed commission led by former Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker.

Threat Prompts Closure of Calif. AirportsBomb

Threats Prompt Closures of Airports in Long Beach, Orange County; Some Flights Canceled

The Associated Press

LONG BEACH, Calif. Oct 25, 2005 — Airports in Long Beach and Orange County were shut down early Tuesday because of bomb threats, officials said.

Bomb threats were made by telephone, according to Long Beach airport spokeswoman Sharon Diggs-Jackson and federal Transportation Security Administration spokesman Nico Melendez.

At Long Beach, all early flights were canceled, said police Nancy Pratt. Police were searching the airport with bomb-sniffing dogs.

Officials cautioned that even after the airport was reopened there would be long delays because screeners would have to check a large volume of passengers.

John Wayne Airport in Orange County reopened and resumed normal operations, Melendez said.

Both airports are located within 50 miles of Los Angeles.

Resident Canada geeks (not to mention Canadians!) will know that this remains the key irritant between the two countires. In 2001, flouting NAFTA, the US imposed an 18% tarrif on Canadian softwood lumber coming into the US. To date, 3.5 billion dollars has been collected. The US trade ambassador said that the tarrifs would continue until Canada imposed its own taxation on Canadian producers. Canada refused.

Instead, the Canadian government went to NAFTA for a ruling. NAFTA ruled that the tarrifs should be removed and the money returned to Canadian producers. The US responded by refusing, and Sen. Max Baucus proposed legislation that would distribute the stolen money to US lumber producers. Canada then went to the WTO which ruled - yep, you guessed it - in Canada's favour. The US responded by appealing NAFTA's decision. The NAFTA panel again decided in Canada's favour. The US response has been to ignore the ruling, and Canada has now threatened to take the US to court in its own country.

Indonesians challenge US envoy in lively exchange

Fri Oct 21, 2005 3:40 AM ET

By Tomi Soetjipto
JAKARTA (Reuters) - U.S. goodwill envoy Karen Hughes got a earful from a group of mostly female Indonesian Muslim students on Friday, who expressed anger at the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq and attacked Washington's foreign policies.

Tasked by U.S. President George W. Bush to polish America's image overseas, the undersecretary of state for public diplomacy is in Jakarta to meet leading Muslim clerics and students during a tour of the world's most populous Muslim nation.

"Why does America always act as if they were the police of the world?," Barikatul Hikmah, a 20-year-old student at the Syarif Hidayatullah University asked Hughes.

Lailatul Qadar, a petite 19-year-old student wearing colorful headscarves, added: "It's Bush in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine and maybe it's going to be in Indonesia, I don't know. Who's the terrorist? Bush or us?"

The U.S. embassy organized the session with some 15 students at the university, a moderate Islamic center of learning that has received U.S. funding and which produces some of the country's most influential Muslim thinkers.

US charges 3 people, 3 firms in Iraq oil program

Fri Oct 21, 2005 2:44 PM ET

NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. prosecutors have charged a Texas oil tycoon and two Swiss executives and their companies in connection with secret kickbacks in the U.N. oil-for-food program, the U.S. Attorney's office said on Friday.

Texas tycoon Oscar Wyatt, former Coastal Corp. chairman, was charged along with two Swiss business executives, Catalina del Socorro Miguel Fuentes, alias Cathy Miguel, and Mohammed Saidji, prosecutors said in a statement.

Three companies were also charged, including the Cyprus-based oil trading companies Nafta Petroleum Company Ltd. and Mednafta Trading Company Ltd, collectively known as the Wyatt Foreign Companies.

Those firms were operated by Miguel and Saidji in close consultation with Wyatt, the statement said.

Also charged was Sarenco, a Swiss consulting firm operated by Miguel and Saidji, prosecutors said in the statement.

"Wyatt, Miguel and Saidji obtained oil under the United Nations' oil-for-food program by paying millions of dollars in secret kickbacks to Saddam Hussein's regime in Iraq. These kickbacks were allegedly paid to the government of Iraq for oil allocated by the Saddam Hussein regime to the Wyatt Foreign Companies and the Costal Corporation," prosecutors said.

Wyatt sold Coastal Corp. to natural gas pipeline company El Paso Corp. in 2001. El Paso last year disclosed that those operations, since renamed El Paso CGP Co., received an order from U.S. financial regulators demanding documents related to the United Nations' oil-for-food program.

Chile President was on secret police hit list: paper

Fri Oct 21, 2005 4:00 PM ET

SANTIAGO, Chile (Reuters) - Chile's current president, Ricardo Lagos, was targeted for assassination by secret police during Augusto Pinochet's 17-year dictatorship but escaped when he was arrested by a different police force.

Lagos, an opponent of the dictatorship, was put on a hit list in 1986 when the regime cracked down on leftists after a failed attempt to assassinate Pinochet, according to a Diario Siete newspaper report on Friday that cited sealed court testimony by ex-secret agents.

The testimony came from two agents who are serving time after confessing to killing Jose Carrasco, a well-known opposition journalist who was assassinated September 8, 1986, one day after an armed group tried to kill Pinochet by ambushing his car.

Lagos told reporters that he knew that he had been on the hit list along with Carrasco.

The day that Carrasco was killed the government declared a state of emergency and police rounded up leftists, including Lagos, and held them in jail to prevent any popular uprising against the regime.

2005-10-25 Parks, Sheehan, 2000 and Cheney

Wow, the past 24 hours mark a significant and pivotal point in American history. I?ll explain how all the topics listed above are woven into each other and the fabric of our country. Rosa Parks, who was credited with sparking the explosion of the civil rights movement in this country and a symbol of that movement, has died. Parks was a very ordinary woman with an ordinary job who simply refused to give up her seat on a bus to a white man. Why did she refuse? She was tired. The spark that ignites movements of change doesn?t have to come from the wealthy or famous, but almost always comes from these ordinary people who don?t even realize the impact of their actions. Today we have Cindy Sheehan, the mother of a soldier killed in Iraq, who simply went to the presidents ?ranch? in Texas to ask why. Her actions have ignited the enthusiasm and drive that now burns within the anti-war movement. Sheehan has vowed that when the 2000th soldier is killed in Iraq, she will go to the Whitehouse, tie herself to the fence and remain there until the troops come home. Well, today is the day, and the 2000th soldier has died in a war that we were lied into. A small group of people manipulated and distorted intelligence to trick the public, congress and other countries into supporting their pet project ? WAR. Even worse, they attacked and smeared anyone who publicly opposed their plan, which is the basis of the Plame identity leak case that is now under investigation. So today we also learned that the origin of the leak can be traced all the way to vice president Dick Cheney. Imagine, the vice president involved in an act of treason, simply to protect a pet project. Is this the government I learned to have respect for in school? I think not! Today we all should honor Rosa Parks by taking a stand. Do it with Cindy Sheehan, do it with a local activist group, do it on your own, just find a way that you can take a stand to improve America and prevent the few from destroying and exploiting it from the many.

US oil tycoon, 2 others charged in Iraq oil scandal

Fri Oct 21, 2005 4:14 PM ET

By Daniel Trotta
NEW YORK (Reuters) - U.S. prosecutors have charged a Texas oil tycoon and two Swiss executives and their companies with paying secret kickbacks to Iraq in the U.N. oil-for-food program.

Tycoon Oscar Wyatt, the former Coastal Corp. chairman, was arrested in Houston, Texas, on Friday, prosecutors said, becoming one of the highest profile figures ensnared so far in the scandal. The two Swiss nationals are being sought for extradition.

The U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York charged Wyatt along with Catalina del Socorro Miguel Fuentes, alias Cathy Miguel, and Mohammed Saidji. All three face up to 62 years in prison and heavy fines if convicted.

Bomb components found at San Diego airport

Tue Oct 25, 2005 12:07 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Baggage screeners found bomb components in a carry-on piece of luggage at San Diego International Airport on Tuesday and cleared the area to investigate, Department of Homeland Security spokesmen said.

A department spokesman said the screeners found "all components of an IED" (improvised explosive device) in a piece of luggage at around 7:45 a.m. (10:45 a.m. EDT)

They then evacuated the commuter terminal of the airport and bomb specialists began to investigate, the spokesman said.

Transportation Security Administration spokesman Nico Melendez said an employee noticed a "suspicious item" in a piece of luggage as it was going through the X-ray machine.

Officials at the airport were not immediately available for comment.

The Homeland Security spokesman said officials were investigating to see if there was any link between the discovery in San Diego and bomb threats at two Los Angeles-area airports.

Searches at the Long Beach airport and a separate threat at nearby Orange County's John Wayne airport were resolved with no bombs found.

Melendez said he was unaware of any other incidents at other California airports.

Of course, I'd heard about the incompetence of this White House crew - and the arrogance that made them so sloppy in covering their tracks - but despite their lies and amateurish attempts to conceal their involvement, their fingerprints are all over the place.

Rove as the Genius, the Architect, the Ringmaster, running a tight ship with no leaks? These dangerous clowns are total screw-ups. And wimps. Many are willing to finger each other big time to escape the felony counts, or at least lessen their criminal liability. It's embarrassing to watch them flopping around, sending out their lawyers to drop a dime on a fellow conspirator.

I'm in a very serious mood today. Not grim or unhappy, though.

I'll be thinking about Rosa Parks a lot, of course. It wasn't only a few moments on a bus. She spent her entire life working for justice. Very few of us will have a moment in our lives that will be etched in history as a symbol of who we were and what we worked hardest to achieve. That's a lucky thing for some folks whose most enduring monument will probably be a landfill of non-biodegradable crap.

Rosa Parks, even if she had never been in the news, was a hero. I am fortunate because I know other heroes like her. They keep working at justice, even when it isn't apparent to them that progress is being made, even when no one is noticing them. I love the folks who give me good reason to be hopelessly hope-filled.

S.C. man dies driving to brother's funeral

FLORENCE, S.C. -- Crystal Chockley thought something was wrong when her brother-in-law didn't show up for her husband's funeral. Hours after burying Perry Harrell, she found out why. Larry Harrell died in a car wreck on his way to the funeral Saturday.

"My knees just buckled and I said, 'God help me,'" Chockley said. "I just couldn't believe God would take two brothers back to back like that."

Larry Harrell, 44, took his 32-year-old brother's death in a four-wheeler accident last Wednesday hard, Chockley said.

Sherry Harrell wondered why Larry Harrell wasn't at their brother's funeral but hoped he had been just too devastated to come.

They passed by a wreck heading home, but Sherry Harrell said she thought nothing of it until she got the call from the hospital, saying she had lost her second brother in less than a week.

Larry Harrell, whose brother died on his birthday, will be buried Thursday on the birthday of another sister, Sherry Harrell said.

"It's hard to believe they're gone, but we look at it like they're both in heaven now, fishing with our daddy," she said.

DeLay wins shredder at Texas auction, is lampooned
RAW STORY

Indicted Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) bid on a wicker basket two weekends ago at the Needville Harvest Festival in Fort Bend County in his home state. And he won not just the basket, but the gadget inside it, too — a paper shredder, Roll Call's Mary Anne Akers reports Tuesday. Excerpts.

#

The shredder purchase would have perhaps remained a secret if DeLay’s potential 2006 Democratic opponent, Nick Lampson, hadn’t gleefully spilled the beans at a fundraiser last week. A national political reporter was also on hand at the festival to witness the basket/shredder bid. (So stay tuned for more details, including how much the Hammer paid for the shredder.)

A former House Member who was victimized by the redistricting engineered by DeLay, Lampson is having a ball telling the story of DeLay’s rather ironic purchase.

“Nobody needs a paper shredder more than Tom DeLay,” Lampson’s campaign manager, Mike Malaise, told HOH. “This was a very practical purchase, and we’re sure the paper shredder will see a lot of use in the DeLay camp.”

He said Houston may just see its second straight white Christmas “when it starts snowing TRMPAC documents this year.”

Klan To Rally In Support Of Gay Marriage Amendment

POSTED: 10:45 am CDT October 25, 2005
UPDATED: 10:58 am CDT October 25, 2005

AUSTIN, Texas -- The Ku Klux Klan plans to rally in Austin to support the gay marriage amendment set for the Nov. 8 ballot.

The rally planned on the steps of city hall the Saturday before the election will urge voters to favor proposition 2.

However, some who support proposition 2 don't welcome the KKK's assistance.

One such person is Pastor Ryan Rush of Bannockburn Baptist Church.

Rush said that a group that would come in that is characterized as hateful and bigoted is not welcome in this city. He said he doesn't want the Klan as a partner on any cause.

In a letter the Klan sent to the city, the group acknowledged that security will be an issue, noting the violence that erupted at a KKK rally and march to the capitol in Austin in 1983.

Hong Kong Nazi Porn Fails to Offend

HONG KONG — Popular Hong Kong men’s magazine Akasi pulled out all the stops for its October issue this year, capitulating to a bizarre new fascination many Hong Kong residents have developed for Nazi Germany.
In what some local fashion magazines have dubbed the new “Nazi chic,” swastikas and German uniforms have been popping up all over Hong Kong lately, prompting Akasi to publish a multi-page spread of a sexy model seig-heiling her way to sexual freedom and romping in the grass with a plastic version of wartime general Heinz Guderian, Hitler’s army chief of staff.

And aside from a few scant mentions in independent online publications, nobody seems to care.

According to Thingfish, who first wrote about the Nazi spread for NetNewsAsia.com, many Hong Kongers admire the Nazi ethic.

“Their tanks were made by Mercedes and Porsche; their uniforms were original Hugo Boss,” said Thingfish. “Twenty years after the last British skinhead tired of the joke, it’s still not unusual to see a Hong Kong teen in an ‘Adolph Hitler European Tour t-shirt.’”

Which explains why visitors to Hong Kong can sing karaoke in a bar wallpapered with photos of Germans executing prisoners, buy a new dress in a fashion store with swastikas hanging from its ceiling or watch TV on a station that likens its commercial advertising to “the final solution.”

If that’s not enough, wake up to a morning coffee and a daily Hitler quote from a local coffee shop.

So while Akasi readers enjoy the lead article in Akasi’s October issue, which details the life and work of General Guderian, they can also peruse multiple photos of the model posed in front of a large swastika, holding a Nazi action figure in front of her breasts and popping up all over a Nazi tank.

Whether Akasi was aiming to offend with the October issue is unclear, as representatives at the Calvin Group, which publishes Akasi, wouldn’t comment to XBiz.

“It could be that the strip is simply too silly to horrify anyone,” said Thingfish. “Anyone who can pose a topless babe alongside a

Fitzgerald has decided to seek indictments, those near inquiry say
Jason Leopold and John Byrne

Print This | Email This

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has decided to seek indictments in the outing of Valerie Plame Wilson and has submitted at least one to the grand jury, those close to the investigation tell RAW STORY.

Fitzgerald will seek at least two indictments, the sources say. They note that it remains to be seen whether the grand jury will approve the charges.

Those familiar with the case state that Fitzgerald likely will not seek indictments that assert officials leaked Plame's name illegally. Rather, they say that he will focus charges in the arena of lying to investigators.

Any possible indictments are now in the hands of the grand jury. They are expected to be made public later this week.

RAW STORY has not learned who Fitzgerald is seeking to charge. Reports indicate that of those fingered in the case, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, is in the most jeopardy. President Bush's Deputy Chief of Staff, Karl Rove, also appears to have given conflicting testimony to the grand jury.

Fitzgerald may also charge those who leaked Plame Wilson's name to reporters. Rove and Libby have not been identified as the sources in Robert Novak's July 14, 2003 column which first identified Plame as a covert agent and the husband of Joseph Wilson, a critic of the Administration's Iraq intelligence. Novak cited "senior administration officials" as his sources for the report.

HADLEY NAMED. La Repubblica has a dynamite series this week on the origin of the yellowcake forgeries. Laura Rozen reports:
With Patrick Fitzgerald widely expected to announce indictments in the CIA leaks investigation, questions are again being raised about the murky matter that first led to the appointment of the special counsel: namely, how the Bush White House came into possession of discredited Italian intelligence reports claiming that Iraq sought uranium "yellowcake" from Niger.
The key documents supposedly proving the Iraqi attempt turned out to be crude forgeries on official stationery stolen from the African nation's Rome embassy. Among the most tantalizing aspects of the debate over the Iraq War is the origin of those fake documents and the role of the Italian intelligence services in disseminating them.

In an explosive series of articles appearing this week in the Italian newspaper La Repubblica, investigative reporters Carlo Bonini and Giuseppe d'Avanzo reveal how Niccolo Pollari, chief of Italy's military intelligence service, known as SISMI, brought the Niger yellowcake story directly to the White House after his insistent overtures had been rejected by the Central Intelligence Agency in 2001 and 2002.

Bushies take aim at probe

BY KENNETH R. BAZINET
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

WASHINGTON - President Bush's damage-control handlers are plotting a sophisticated war room offensive to fight back against possible indictments in the CIA leak probe.
Trying to change the subject yesterday, Bush announced a new Federal Reserve chairman and convened his cabinet to signal business as usual at his beleaguered White House.

Behind the scenes, however, Team Bush was finalizing its campaign to discredit and undermine special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald's conclusions, sources told the Daily News.

The White House strategy is counting on major help from GOP allies and neocon commentators who turned on Bush for naming Harriet Miers to the Supreme Court and are now looking for redemption with a miffed President.

An emerging theme in the Bush war room is arguing that his top political aide, Karl Rove, simply got tripped up on his recollections of whom he talked to and what he told them when questioned about the outing of CIA spy Valerie Plame. He shouldn't be indicted simply because of contradictory grand jury testimony, a source said.

Bush allies have already begun casting perjury and obstruction charges as irrelevant in a probe created to find out who leaked classified information.

White House Sidesteps Cheney Questions

minutes ago

WASHINGTON - The White House on Tuesday sidestepped questions about whether Vice President Dick Cheney passed on to his top aide the identity of a CIA officer central to a federal grand jury probe.

Notes in the hands of a federal prosecutor suggest that Cheney's chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, first heard of the CIA officer from Cheney himself, The New York Times reported in Tuesday's editions.

A federal prosecutor is investigating whether the officer's identity was improperly disclosed.

The Times said notes of a previously undisclosed June 12, 2003, conversation between Libby and Cheney appear to differ from Libby's grand jury testimony that he first heard of Valerie Plame from journalists.

"This is a question relating to an ongoing investigation and we're not having any further comment on the investigation while it's ongoing," White House press secretary Scott McClellan said.

I mentioned yesterday that the Italian daily La Repubblica ran a story reporting alleged new details about the origins of the Niger/uranium forgeries. Today they followed up with a second part of their report which, if accurate in its particulars, could rock the foundations of official Washington.

-- Joshua Micah Marshall

Stephen Hadley, present National Security Advisor (Condi's old job... Hadley was her Deputy at the time), set up the forged Nigerian Letter... maybe. That's coming out in an article in Italian daily 'La Repubblica' today.

In any case... Fitz has all this stuff... and the Italians must know that. Thus, beyond a BIG deal about the Bush Administration having something to do with the forgery... this might also mean that tomorrow is Fitzmas.

Raw Story has it that the grand jury has all Fitz's requests for indictments... and there are indictments.

Osama Bin Laden Is Dead And Buried: Multan Newspaper

A Pakistani newspaper Ausaf published from Multan has reported that Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden died four months ago in a village near Kandahar of severe illness.

According to the newspaper report, Bin Laden was campaigning at Bamiyan, fell very ill, returned to Kandahar where he died and was buried in the Shada graveyard in the shadow of a mountain.

The controversy continues to surround Osama bin Laden and while US and Pakistan officials have often been quoted by the media as saying that his mortal status was just a matter of detail, the hunt is still on and the issue remains a topic of great interest for the media and governments alike.

Funeral prayers have been said for Osama bin Laden over these years with one reported now by the Ausaf, and another in an Egyptian newspaper Al Wafd as far back as December 2001.

Osama bin Laden has a reward of $25 million on his head. Despite this he remains elusive, and could remain that way for a long time, alive or dead.

No guarantee hat the grand jury will vote to indict, of course... unless they are presented with at least one or two ham sandwitches.

What is it about grand juries having to have ham sandwitches? I mean... all over the country... its fucking ham sandwitches! You'd think that in some places it would be steak sandwitches. What's wrong with good old peanut butter and jelly? Everybody likes those!

Halliburton sees profit hurt by storms

By Matt Daily
1 hour, 1 minute ago

HOUSTON (Reuters) - Oilfield services group Halliburton Co. (NYSE:HAL - news) expects damage from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita to trim its Energy Services Group income by 4 cents a share in the fourth quarter, Chief Operating Officer Andy Lane said on Tuesday.

The news helped push Halliburton shares down as much as 5 percent, erasing the gains made on Monday ahead of the company's better-than-expected third quarter earnings.

"Looking forward to the fourth quarter of 2005, we expect a similar financial impact as seen in the third quarter, primarily due to lower operational activity and the number of offshore rigs that are out of service," Lane told a conference call.

I think I'm going to cry...Haha, no way

Crips gang's co-founder faces Dec. 13 execution

Los Angeles -- A judge signed a death warrant Monday for Stanley "Tookie" Williams, a co-founder of the notorious Crips gang who was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for his children's books.
Williams is scheduled to die Dec. 13 at San Quentin prison. The judge rejected requests by his attorneys to delay the execution until Dec. 22 to give them more time to seek clemency from Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The Dec. 13 date means attorneys have only until Nov. 8 to submit a clemency request. The U.S. Supreme Court declined to consider Williams' case this month.
Williams was sentenced to death in 1981 for fatally shooting a convenience store worker in 1979. He also was convicted of killing two motel owners and their daughter during a robbery that same year.

Lawmaker wants to make protests at military funerals a felony

Oct 25, 2005, 09:34 AM CST

INDIANAPOLIS -- An Indiana state senator wants to make disorderly conduct a felony if it occurs at military funerals, similar to a proposal being considered in Oklahoma.

Indiana state Senator Brent Steele says he'll propose legislation in response to an anti-gay group's protest at the August 28th funeral for Army Staff Sergeant Jeremy Doyle, who died in Iraq.

Members of the Topeka, Kansas-based Westboro Baptist Church dragged U-S flags on the ground and shouted insults at Doyle's family outside a mortuary in Martinsville, Indina. Church Reverend Fred Phelps contends American soldiers are being killed in Iraq as vengeance from God for protecting a country that harbors gays.

The church is made up mostly of Phelps' children, grandchildren and in-laws.

The group has also shown up at funerals in Oklahoma and state Representative Paul Wesselhoft says he'll offer a bill to prohibit any form of protest within 500 feet of any funeral at a home, mortuary, cemetery, church or other place of worship.

TX-22: DeLay looking anemic back home; Midday open thread
by kos
Tue Oct 25, 2005 at 10:40:12 AM PDT
42 Percent of the Texas 22nd Congressional District think Tom DeLay should resign (including 27 percent of Republicans). Of course, DeLay isn't going to do that anytime soon, so the voters can forcefully resign him in November 2006. DeLay is at 45/51 approve/disapprove. The partisan breakdown of this SUSA poll is 51 Rep, 20 Dem, and 27 Ind.

Bush Nominee for Refugee Issues Draws Heat

By LAURIE KELLMAN, Associated Press Writer
2 hours, 47 minutes ago

WASHINGTON - Democratic senators Tuesday questioned whether President Bush's nominee to lead the State Department refugee program is qualified for the job.

Bush has nominated Ellen Sauerbrey, who twice lost bids for Maryland governor, to be assistant secretary of state for population, refugees and migration. If confirmed, she would manage a nearly $1 billion budget for refugee crises overseas.

"I don't think we see the requisite experience that we've seen in other nominees" for the job, said Sen. Barbara Boxer (news, bio, voting record), D-Calif., at Sauerbrey's confirmation hearing before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

In the wake of ousted disaster relief chief Michael Brown, Democrats especially have complained that some of Bush's nominations carry the whiff of cronyism because they lack experience in the jobs for which they are nominated. Brown resigned after the government failed to act quickly to the disaster wrought on the Gulf Coast by Hurricane Katrina.

Despite the criticism, Sauerbrey is expected to win Senate confirmation.

GAY PUBLICATION 'OUTS' ANCHORS

Tuesday, October 25 2005
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The gay-oriented Houston Voice has "outed" CNN's Anderson Cooper and Fox News Channel's Shepard Smith, charging that they "choose to hide and deceive -- and to protect their incomes and images -- at the expense of contributing important weight and star power to the gay civil rights movement." Managing Editor Kevin Naff claims in an editorial appearing in the current edition of the Voice that Smith once tried to pick him up in a gay piano bar in New York City and that Cooper dodged a question about his sexual orientation in a recent New York magazine interview by saying, ""The whole thing about being a reporter is that you're supposed to be an observer and to be able to adapt with any group you're in ... and I don't want to do anything that threatens that." Commented Naff: "Does he believe that female and African-American reporters lack credibility to cover stories since their minority status is showing?"

Have'nt heard from MAT yet, hope so tho!

Ya T i noticed em popping up here.

3 PM? we pretty "sensitive"

we'll see...

http://thehill.com/thehill/export/TheHill/News/Frontpage/102505/whitehouse.html

"On July 14, 2003, conservative columnist Robert Novak identified Plame as a CIA operative. Her husband, former Ambassador Joseph Wilson, had traveled to Niger to investigate whether Iraq was trying to buy uranium. When he returned, Wilson criticized the White House�s justification for war in Iraq. Novak wrote that two administration officials told him that Wilson�s wife had helped arrange the trip.

Last year, Rep. Peter King (R-N.Y.), then angling to become chairman of the Homeland Security Committee, took aim at Wilson and advised his colleagues to wait for a Supreme Court appointment to overshadow the investigation.

King continued to heap criticism on Wilson yesterday, telling The Hill that Wilson is a fraud and that the government �had a right to make known that his wife sent him on the trip.�"

�It�s very logical to set the record straight,� he said, adding that political consequences would depend on the nature of the indictment, but if an official is indicted he �probably� should resign.

Yeah right Kingpin, Joe Wilson is a fraud...if that is the case why should anyone have to resign?...This logic is twisted.

War Dog....

If Norm Coleman's office is smart....they're TAPING every show of Franken's. As Al manuevers between the "DLC/Sane Democrat" wing and the "Move On/Sheehan/Insane" wing, he'll leave a "paper trail" on the radio, that will practically write the Coleman campaign ads!

That and a few choice tidbits from the "Gloria Wise" case shut nail the coffin lid shut on any "Senator Franken" Campaign!

Chalabi expected to meet US officials in Washington
Sun Oct 23, 2005 3:50 PM ET

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Ahmad Chalabi, the Iraqi leader accused of giving the Bush administration flawed information about Saddam Hussein's weapons program, will visit Washington in November amid speculation that U.S. officials view him as an acceptable candidate for Iraqi prime minister.

Chalabi, who is now Iraq's deputy prime minister, is expected to meet with Treasury Secretary John Snow next month to discuss the progress of economic reconstruction, a Treasury spokesman said on Sunday.

A date for the meeting has not yet been announced.

A State Department spokesman said Chalabi could also meet with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. No meeting has been announced.

The November visit was first reported by Time magazine, which said in its October 31 edition that Chalabi is due to meet with national security adviser Stephen Hadley.

Time quoted unnamed administration officials as saying Rice and Hadley both view Chalabi as "a plausible and acceptable" candidate for prime minister in the next round of Iraqi elections due December 15.

The longtime Iraqi exile began attracting U.S. attention as a potential prime minister after Washington decided Iraq's current premier, Ibrahim Jaafari, had discredited himself by seeking overly friendly relations with Iran, Time said, quoting unnamed administration officials.

Wonder, will Judy be there?

CDT... okay... that's ummmmm... 4pm Eastern... 4pm Fitz-Time.

Still could be!

Indict and make happy hour!
