Truth and the Net by Cory Doctorow

Trusting what you read on the internet is a dangerous prospect, but it beats the alternative. At least on the internet, you get to choose your bias.

You can't trust what you read online. You can't trust what you read in the paper. You can't trust what you see on TV, or hear on the radio. You can't trust what your friend swears her brother's girlfriend said is true.

You can't trust anything – not with the gospel, bet-your-life trust that you reserve for things like gravity and death and your family.

You never could.

Pa. Guard soldier dies in Ariz.
On border-patrol duty, Kirsten Fike, described as being fit, collapsed. An autopsy is set for today.
By Bonnie L. Cook
Inquirer Staff Writer
A Pennsylvania Army National Guard soldier who died after she collapsed while deployed on a border-patrol mission in the Arizona desert will undergo an autopsy today, a medical official said.

Specialist Kirsten Fike, 36, of Bear Lake, Warren County, was among 500 National Guard volunteers made available by Gov. Rendell for work with Operation Jump Start, the border-sealing initiative set in motion recently by President Bush.

Fike, a mother and former member of the U.S. Air Force, joined the National Guard June 12, said Army spokesman Lt. Jay Ostrich.

She was deployed on a two-week training mission Aug. 5 and was two hours into her first assignment Wednesday when she collapsed in 104-degree heat at a desert outpost near Yuma, Ostrich said. She was hospitalized and died on Thursday.

Fike was one of 60 volunteers assigned to the task from Detachment 1, 28th Military Police Company, based in Greensburg, Pa.

The native of northwestern Pennsylvania was helping three other soldiers reattach camouflage netting used as cover along the border when she became ill. Ostrich said a combat medic treated her for heat stroke. She was airlifted to Yuma Regional Medical Center, where she was admitted in critical condition, said spokeswoman Machele Headington.

dr adverbs: like riding onna waterboarding roller-coaster for far, far too long

Just another false, photo-op....like Bush is going to read anything without pictures in it...and by a French writer! How dumb do they think we are? Nevermind, we know...

CRAWFORD, United States (AFP) - US President George W. Bush quoted French existential writer Albert Camus to European leaders a year and a half ago, and now he's read one of his most famous works: "The Stranger.

White House spokesman Tony Snow said Friday that Bush, here on his Texas ranch enjoying a 10-day vacation from Washington, had made quick work of the Algerian-born writer's 1946 novel -- in English.

The US president, often spoofed as an intellectual lightweight, quoted Camus in a February 21, 2005 speech in Brussels praising the US-Europe alliance and urging other nations to help Washington spread democracy in the world.

"We know there are many obstacles, and we know the road is long. Albert Camus said that 'freedom is a long-distance race.' We're in that race for the duration," Bush said in those remarks.

Time to go buy some 20 year old scotch and fine cigars for tonight.

Peaches!

now bush READS A BooK and gets a headline.

oh presscorp, you most wicked of all beasts! sheath you doublesided tounge lashings!

of course, i'll be the forst to remond everyone that "the stranger" was the inspiration for the cure's "killing an arab."

coincidence?

the real question is whether or not bush dresses like robert smith when condi's not around.

I may be accused of many things, Brent, (and being a poor writer is among them), but being a person w/"little to say" (in any of its meanings) is certainly not one of them.

As always, Brent, I will consider the source and take it under advisement.

I confess coming from you it doesn't mean much. You are not exactly a honorable or insightful or honest observer, are you?

While you are busy passing judgment, tho', you might take a moment of introspection here to consider what sort of perverted individual posts merely to provoke merely b/c it's how he gets his jollies.

It suggests something is missing in your life to engage so doggedly in such pettiness.

Most people who consider themselves human beings would find such persistently childish behavior contemptible and pathetic and embarrassing and rather telling of a warped personality.

(Oop. There I go w/those adjectives that have no meaning again.)

THE NOUN

Its the main word in any sentence. Don't even think of writing anything unless your noun leads the way. Clear and simple.

You can spritz some whipped cream around it, throw identifiers at it - or do nothing. Ignore the noun and the rest is nothing but mush.

The noun is capitalized and called "Hauptwort" in the language of the Germans. And there is a reason for it. It rules.

hey sneezers!
hope you are awesome!

all I want to do is hack about half the song off!

and that's the key selling point to this software...that and eas of use.

but, I go through the process...and it records all 5 minutes, not the 2 I selected.

time to try someone else's software, I fear.

just noted post ahead of mine and wanted to make clear

that my ode to the noun does not criticize any of the posts above - actually I haven't even read them all

adjectives are riproaring sexy and verbs, well, I just love them to no end - proverbs, articles - they are all wonderful ...

You're one, clearly.

Now, a body can't say much on behalf of Ann Coulter's goading freakshow. It's repugnant, needlessly divisive and coarsens discourse for all.

But unlike you, at least Ann Coulter gets paid for being a contemptible bastard.

tudy: Immigrants Not Hurting U.S. Jobs

August 10, 2006 12:38 p.m. EST

Nidhi Sharma - All Headline News Staff Writer
Washington D.C. (AHN) - A new study released on Thursday indicates that a massive increase in immigration since 1990 has not hurt employment prospects for American workers.
The report comes on the heels of Congress and the entire country's heated debated on the immigration policy - an issue which is front and center in this fall's midterm congressional elections.
Rakesh Kochhar, who authored the study from the Pew Hispanic Center told the AP that there has been apparently no concrete evidence that increases in immigration led to higher unemployment among Americans. Factors such as economic growth played a larger role than immigration in setting the job market for Americans.
The study, however, did not take into consideration the factor of whether wages were affected by immigration. Those in favor of tightening the immigration policies argue that immigrant workers decrease wages for American workers - in a group of less qualified workers.
Immigration supporters are of the opinion that foreign workers are often employed in those jobs that Americans don't want and won't take.

Again, lots of words, but nothing worthwhile said.

With fewer words you could have addressed the question.

The arrests led the Bush administration to put the U.S. on its highest threat alert for flights headed to the United States from Britain. Additionally, all other flights were raised to the second-highest alert level.
The suspects placed calls to several cities in the United States before their arrests, according to two other U.S. counterterrorism officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. Investigators ultimately concluded the calls did not point to threats within the United States, the officials said.
At least some of the calls were placed to people in New York, Washington, Chicago and Detroit, one official said.
The FBI is expecting the arrests and searches of homes and computers in England to generate another round of leads on possible U.S. ties.
Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff also sought to assure Americans that there is no evidence of plotters in the United States. But he cited the possibility of other terrorists or sympathizers, saying, "so I'm not prepared to let my guard down

UC Chancellor Commits Suicide

Som Patidar - All Headline News Staff Writer

Santa Cruz, CA (AHN) - Denice Dee Denton, 46, chancellor of the University of California-Santa Cruz died on Saturday after jumping from a 43-story building in San Francisco.

The Medical Examiner's office and a university spokesman confirmed her death, though the cause was still under investigation, AP reported.

UC President Robert Dynes said in a statement that she was an accomplished and passionate scholar whose life and work demonstrated a deep commitment to public service.

According to the news reports, Denton was considered one of the youngest and first openly lesbian chancellors in the UC system history. She was appointed chancellor in 2004 after serving as the dean of the College of Engineering at the University of Washington.

Pacific "Dead Zone" Worse Than Thought

Portland, Ore. - The oxygen-starved "dead zone" along the Pacific Coast that is causing massive crab and fish die-offs is worse than initially thought, scientists said.

Weather, not pollution, appears to be the culprit, scientists said, and no relief is in sight. However, some said there is no immediate sign of long-term damage to the crab fishery in the dead zone, a 70-mile stretch of water along the Continental Shelf between Florence and Lincoln City.

Oregon State University scientists looking for weather changes that could reverse the situation aren't finding them. They say levels of dissolved oxygen critical to marine life are the lowest since the first dead zone was identified in 2002. It has returned every year.

Strong upwelling winds pushed a low-oxygen pool of deep water toward shore, suffocating marine life, said Jane Lubchenco, a professor of marine biology at OSU.

The Price of American
Preeminence
As admitted above, calculating the exact
price of armed forces capable of maintaining
American military preeminence today and
extending it into the future requires more
detailed analysis than this broad study can
provide. We have advocated a force posture
and service structure that diverges
significantly both from current plans and
alternatives advanced in other studies. We
believe it is necessary to increase slightly
the personnel strength of U.S. forces – many
of the missions associated with patrolling
the expanding American security perimeter
are manpower-intensive, and planning for
major theater wars must include the ability
for politically decisive campaigns including
extended post-combat stability operations.
Also, this expanding perimeter argues
strongly for new overseas bases and forward
operating locations to facilitate American
political and military operations around the
world.
an expanding security perimeter, we believe
it essential to retain sufficient forces based
in the continental United States capable of
rapid reinforcement and, if needed, applying
massive combat power to stabilize a region
in crisis or to bring a war to a successful
conclusion. There should be a strong
strategic synergy between U.S. forces
overseas and in a reinforcing posture: units
operating abroad are an indication of
American geopolitical interests and
leadership, provide significant military
power to shape events and, in wartime,
create the conditions for victory when
reinforced. Conversely, maintaining the
ability to deliver an unquestioned “knockout
punch” through the rapid introduction of
stateside units will increase the shaping
power of forces operating overseas and the
vitality of our alliances. In sum, we see an
enduring need for large-scale American
forces.

Yes.

Actually my comment addressed two different things: writing on-line and doing the work off-line. Work is serious business and thats where the art and experience kicks in, hopefully. But every day is different. Sometimes one has to wait for the muse ... but if she doesn't show up you just have to start the job.

I usually don't spend too much time with my posts on the blog. I just try to make a point or ask a question etc. But I try to be careful because I don't want to be misunderstood.

Every now and then I post a rant and in no time flat the post is so long its cut off - that always comes as a huge surprise to me lol - fortunately, it doesn't happen that often.

A Report by Geoffrey Millard and Scott Galindez

On the same day that Iraqi prime minister Jawad al-Maliki came to Washington, so did Iraq war veteran Tomas Young. Tomas, in a wheelchair that was being held together with duct tape, came with Phil Donahue. Donahue is filming a documentary about Tomas and the questions he has for Congress and the president. Truthout was there as members of Congress, including Senator Robert Byrd, came out to meet Tomas.

not even that.

I've run google news checks on her once in a while since the fast started.

only FOXnews was reporting on it...in their `fair and balanced way'...you know the kinda spin they'd put on it.

If she starves herself to death, I wonder what the trolls will say?

she did it in order to be famous?

those damned neocons...they don't even believe in W's war enough to enlist...no wonder they want to discredit her commitment

>>will they be channeling the spirit of cassady?

I think that `chanelling' would be pretty much the oposite of what an acid test is supposed to do.

but, if you are really interestded, I could channel him myself for ...5 grand ought to do it.

how does that sound?

No matter how much I struggle with this fact, George Bush is a human being, too. No matter how far he has strayed from his humanity and no matter how he seems to revel in the callous killing of innocent human beings and the destruction of a country that was no threat to ours, the same Universal Creator who created us, created him. The same Creator who created the babies in Palestine, Lebanon, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Israel, created George. The same Creator that made my darling, faithful, and sweet boy, Casey, created George! It is an abhorrent fact, but fundamentally true.

US expects Cuba's power transfer to fail

Saturday, August 12, 2006

WASHINGTON, USA (Reuters): Cuba's Communist government may redouble its efforts to assert control and assure the successful transition from Fidel to Raul Castro, but the plan won't work in the end, a senior U.S. official said on Friday.

"While we might be at a moment of great change, we might also be at a moment of actually the regime hardening as it attempts to assert its control," Assistant Secretary of State Thomas Shannon told reporters.

"Ultimately, this transfer won't work," Shannon said. "Ultimately, there is no political figure inside of Cuba who matches Fidel Castro.

"When a rotor comes off a helicopter, it crashes. When a supreme leader disappears from an authoritarian regime, the authoritarian regime flounders."

---

"oh," added shannon, " plus we been messing with every possible aspect of the power transfer we could get our hands on. yep. exploding cigars and all. trust us, Cuba'll have a national league team by years end."

Meanwhile, as the conflict in Lebanon dominates the headlines, the United Nations Security Council has finally passed Resolution 1696, threatening Iran with sanctions unless that country halts _ by month's end _ uranium enrichment and other efforts to develop the nuclear bomb. Iran denounced the United Nations for even this relatively mild warning. The Iranian ambassador to the U.N., Javad Zarif, said that the resolution was "destructive and totally unwarranted," and could "only exacerbate the situation." Another Iranian official said that if the sanctions were imposed, oil prices would hit $200 a barrel.

Whether actions of a more serious nature will follow is anyone's guess.

It is fair to wonder whether the bribery and other corruption that hindered U.N. action to contain Iraq are now going on in the case of Iran. Many non-Iranian companies have investments in that country, with enough clout (money) to shape their countries' U.N. policies.

Ahmadinejad's remarks also underscore the folly of imposing a "cease-fire" before Israel significantly weakens Hezbollah's capacity to attack Israeli citizens. An immediate cease-fire would not be about peace. As Ahmadinejad has so transparently revealed, it would be a step on the way to the destruction of Israel.

Source: U.S., U.K. at odds over timing of arrests
British wanted to continue surveillance on terror suspects, official says

By Aram Roston, Lisa Myers, and the NBC News Investigative Unit
NBC News
Updated: 19 minutes ago
LONDON - NBC News has learned that U.S. and British authorities had a significant disagreement over when to move in on the suspects in the alleged plot to bring down trans-Atlantic airliners bound for the United States.

A senior British official knowledgeable about the case said British police were planning to continue to run surveillance for at least another week to try to obtain more evidence, while American officials pressured them to arrest the suspects sooner. The official spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the case.

In contrast to previous reports, the official suggested an attack was not imminent, saying the suspects had not yet purchased any airline tickets. In fact, some did not even have passports.

The source did say, however, that police believe one U.K.-based suspect was ready to conduct a "dry run." British authorities had wanted to let him go forward with part of the plan, but the Americans balked.

At the White House, a top aide to President Bush denied the account.

"There was unprecedented cooperation and coordination between the U.S., the U.K. and Pakistani officials throughout the case," said Frances Townsend, Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism, "and we worked together to protect our citizens from harm while ensuring that we gathered as much info as possible to bring the plotters to justice. There was no disagreement between U.S. and U.K. officials."

Another U.S. official, however, acknowledges there was disagreement over timing. Analysts say that in recent years, American security officials have become edgier than the British in such cases because of missed opportunities leading up to 9/11.

KUALA LUMPUR (Reuters) - Malaysian thieves used a net and rope to haul an ATM cash dispenser through a glass wall and down a flight of stairs, only to discover they had grabbed a check deposit machine by mistake.

The three robbers fled after realizing the failure of their plan, in which they used a pick-up truck and a lorry to yank the machine from its moorings, the Star newspaper said on Thursday.

Automated teller machines (ATMs) have recently been the focus of a spate of robberies or robbery attempts in Malaysia.

In one case, thieves loaded an ATM onto a truck but abandoned it about 5 km (3 miles) away when they discovered it had no cash.

we have that problem with atm machines stealing our money.

oh wait.

its our votes.

its just that the company that makes one makes the other.

if you think about it, if atm machines stole 20$ from 3 million americans, heads would roll.

guess nobody thinks our votes are worth more than 20 dollars.

'Clearer timeline emerges' for New York Times' wiretapping scoop; Publication was discussed on eve of 2004 election

RAW STORY

"A clearer timeline emerges for the paper's scoop on wiretapping," New York Times public editor Byron Calame will be revealing in a column slated for Sunday's edition, RAW STORY has found.

Executive editor Bill Keller tells the paper's ombudmsman that "internal discussions" about publishing a story on domestic wiretapping by the National Security Agency ended up "dragging on for weeks" before the November 2nd, 2004 election.

In January, Calame complained that he had encountered "unusual difficulty" in trying to determine when exactly the paper learned of the surveillance that hadn't been properly approved by Congress.

"The New York Times's explanation of its decision to report, after what it said was a one-year delay, that the National Security Agency is eavesdropping domestically without court-approved warrants was woefully inadequate," wrote Calame. "And I have had unusual difficulty getting a better explanation for readers, despite the paper's repeated pledges of greater transparency."

"For the first time since I became public editor, the executive editor and the publisher have declined to respond to my requests for information about news-related decision-making," Calame continued in January.

"If Times editors hoped the brief mention of the one-year delay and the omitted sensitive information would assure readers that great caution had been exercised in publishing the article, I think they miscalculated," Calame wrote.

"A clearer timeline emerges for the paper's scoop on wiretapping," New York Times public editor Byron Calame will be revealing in a column slated for Sunday's edition, RAW STORY has found.

Executive editor Bill Keller tells the paper's ombudmsman that "internal discussions" about publishing a story on domestic wiretapping by the National Security Agency ended up "dragging on for weeks" before the November 2nd, 2004 election.

"If Times editors hoped the brief mention of the one-year delay and the omitted sensitive information would assure readers that great caution had been exercised in publishing the article, I think they miscalculated," Calame wrote.

"The climactic discussion about whether to publish was right on the eve of the election," Keller tells Calame.

According to Keller, after holding multiple "pre-election discussions" with managing editor Jill Abramson, Washington bureau chief Philip Taubman, editor Rebecca Corbett, and often reporter James Risen, he alone made the final decision to "hold" the article.

SEOUL, South Korea - Dog meat is increasingly popular among women in North Korea because the traditional Korean delicacy is believed to be good for the skin, a pro-Pyongyang newspaper in Japan reported.

Dog meat has long been regarded as a stamina food in both Koreas, widely consumed on hot summer days in particular.

North Korea is believed to have a greater variety of dishes with dog meat, known in the North as "sweet meat." South Korean gourmets who have tried the delicacy in the North, say Northern dishes taste better.

"Sweet meat has various vitamins, including Vitamin A and B and is good for digestion problems and fatigue," the Choson Sinbo newspaper said on its Web site seen in Seoul.

The paper quoted a cook at a dog meat restaurant in the North's capital, Pyongyang, as saying an increasing number of women are visiting the restaurant.

"Customers get convinced about the efficacy of sweet meat when they see the skin of our employees and cooks," the paper quoted the chef, Ryu Jong Mok, 47, as saying.

The paper said Ryu also has "resilient and fine" skin.

Dog meat is also widely consumed in South Korea, especially among middle-aged men on belief that it's good for stamina and virility. But women in the South are usually less willing to try the food.

Earlier this week, a poll showed that more than 35 percent of South Korean dog owners also eat dog soup.

Dog meat is also eaten in some other Asian countries, including China, Vietnam, the Philippines and Laos.

Activists regularly criticize the practice and call for bans on eating dog meat.

Eavesdropping and the Election: An Answer on the Question of Timing

Police hunt 'two dozen' terror cells in Britain

· Direct link to 7 July atrocity, says Pakistan
· BA chief attacks airport chaos

Jamie Doward, Ned Temko, Mark Townsend, Urmee Khan and Antony Barnett
Sunday August 13, 2006
The Observer

The full extent of the terror threat facing Britain became apparent last night as security sources revealed that 'up to two dozen' terror investigations were operating across the country and that a number of suspects associated with last week's plot to bring down 10 airliners remained at large.

Pakistani intelligence sources alleged that one of the men arrested in connection with the bomb plot had been held following the London terror attack on 7 July last year. British security sources also linked the present investigation to that atrocity, saying the operation that led to Thursday's arrests began days after the 7 July attack. There are also claims that voicemails discovered after the first attack link the two events.

Pakistani authorities are still searching for at least one suspect thought to be involved in the plot to blow up the planes over the Atlantic using liquid-based bombs. US officials estimate as many as 50 may have been involved.

Two British airlines yesterday criticised airport authorities for failing to manage new security measures smoothly. As passengers faced a third day of delays, the chief executives of British Airways and Ryanair, Willie Walsh and Michael O'Leary, said that airport-owner BAA must tackle the ever-lengthier queues.

On the negative side, there is the wedding night, during which the bride must pay the piper, so to speak, by facing for the first time the terrible experience of sex. At this point, dear reader, let me concede one shocking truth. Some young women actually anticipate the wedding night ordeal with curiosity and pleasure! Beware such an attitude! A selfish and sensual husband can easily take advantage of such a bride. One cardinal rule of marriage should never be forgotten: GIVE LITTLE, GIVE SELDOM, AND ABOVE ALL, GIVE GRUDGINGLY. Otherwise what could have been a proper marriage could become an orgy of sexual lust.

Investigators ultimately concluded the calls did not point to threats within the United States, the officials said. At least some of the calls were placed to people in New York, Washington, Chicago and Detroit, one official said. The FBI is expecting the arrests and searches of homes and computers in England to generate another round of leads on possible U.S. ties. Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff also sought to assure Americans that there is no evidence of plotters in the United States. But he cited the possibility of other terrorists or sympathizers, saying, "so I'm not prepared to let my guard down

Letter from London

London
I THOUGHT LEAVING ISRAEL for London would make me safer. I came via Zurich, and the mood in the airport before takeoff was both calm and creepy. I noticed on the monitors that the entire day's flights to Heathrow were suddenly posted as either canceled or delayed. In the Swiss Air lounge, passengers gathered around television sets as reports came in that British authorities had thwarted a plot by terrorists to blow up multiple aircraft in midair.

I felt I had been here before. On the morning of 9/11, I was on a United Airlines flight out of Washington's Dulles airport. We had been in the air maybe 30 minutes, bound for the west coast, when the pilot announced that the president had de clared a state of national emergency. Our flight was first diverted to Pittsburgh and then suddenly, without explanation, to Indianapolis. I would only learn later about United Airlines Flight 93, apparently just ahead of us, which had crashed in an open field near Shanksville, Pa.

Four hours later, Herbert Reed will swallow another 15 mg of morphine to cut the pain clenching every part of his body. He will do it twice more before the day is done.
Since he left a bombed-out train depot in Iraq, his gums bleed. There is more blood in his urine, and still more in his stool. Bright light hurts his eyes. A tumor has been removed from his thyroid. Rashes erupt everywhere, itching so badly they seem to live inside his skin. Migraines cleave his skull. His joints ache, grating like door hinges in need of oil.
There is something massively wrong with Herbert Reed, though no one is sure what it is. He believes he knows the cause, but he cannot convince anyone caring for him that the military's new favorite weapon has made him terrifyingly sick.
In the sprawling bureaucracy of the Department of Veterans Affairs, he has many caretakers. An internist, a neurologist, a pain-management specialist, a psychologist, an orthopedic surgeon and a dermatologist. He cannot function without his stupefying arsenal of medications, but they exact a high price.
"I'm just a zombie walking around," he says.
Reed believes depleted uranium has contaminated him and his life. He now walks point in a vitriolic war over the Pentagon's arsenal of it -- thousands of shells and hundreds of tanks coated with the metal that is radioactive, chemically toxic, and nearly twice as dense as lead.

i have been working in lebanon since all this started, and seeing the behavior of many of the lebanese wire service photographers has been a bit unsettling. while hajj has garnered a lot of attention for his doctoring of images digitally, whether guilty or not, i have been witness to the daily practice of directed shots, one case where a group of wire photogs were choreographing the unearthing of bodies, directing emergency workers here and there, asking them to position bodies just so, even remove bodies that have already been put in graves so that they can photograph them in peoples arms. these photographers have come away with powerful shots, that required no manipulation digitally, but instead, manipulation on a human level, and this itself is a bigger ethical problem.

whatever the case is—lack of training, a personal drive as a photographer to show what is happening to your country in as powerful a way as possible, or all out competitiveness, i think that the onus is on the wire services themselves, because they act as the employer/filter of their photogs work. standards should be in place or else the rest of us end up paying the price. and i’m not against the idea of local wire photographers, but after seeing it over and over for the past month, i think it is something that is worth addressing. while i walk away from a situation like that, one wire shooter sets up a situation, and the rest of them follow.......

The Department of Defense says depleted uranium is powerful and safe, and not that worrisome.

Is an armament sickening U.S. soldiers?
By Deborah Hastings, AP National Writer | August 12, 2006

NEW YORK --It takes at least 10 minutes and a large glass of orange juice to wash down all the pills -- morphine, methadone, a muscle relaxant, an antidepressant, a stool softener. Viagra for sexual dysfunction. Valium for his nerves.

Four hours later, Herbert Reed will swallow another 15 mg of morphine to cut the pain clenching every part of his body. He will do it twice more before the day is done.

Since he left a bombed-out train depot in Iraq, his gums bleed. There is more blood in his urine, and still more in his stool. Bright light hurts his eyes. A tumor has been removed from his thyroid. Rashes erupt everywhere, itching so badly they seem to live inside his skin. Migraines cleave his skull. His joints ache, grating like door hinges in need of oil.

There is something massively wrong with Herbert Reed, though no one is sure what it is. He believes he knows the cause, but he cannot convince anyone caring for him that the military's new favorite weapon has made him terrifyingly sick.

In the sprawling bureaucracy of the Department of Veterans Affairs, he has many caretakers. An internist, a neurologist, a pain-management specialist, a psychologist, an orthopedic surgeon and a dermatologist. He cannot function without his stupefying arsenal of medications, but they exact a high price.

"I'm just a zombie walking around," he says.

Reed believes depleted uranium has contaminated him and his life. He now walks point in a vitriolic war over the Pentagon's arsenal of it -- thousands of shells and hundreds of tanks coated with the metal that is radioactive, chemically toxic, and nearly twice as dense as lead.

A shell coated with depleted uranium pierces a tank like a hot knife through butter, exploding on impact into a charring inferno. As tank armor, it repels artillery assaults. It also leaves behind a fine radioactive dust with a half-life of 4.5 billion years.

Quake Money Used of UK Plot

KARACHI: A UK-based Islamic charity organisation remitted a huge amount of money to three individuals in three different bank accounts in Mirpur, Azad Kashmir, in December last year with the sole purpose of helping its recipients and their organisations carry out the aircraft bombing plan in the UK, insider sources told Daily Times yesterday.

An investigation carried out by Daily Times showed that Muslim Charity of UK remitted not so long ago a huge amount of money under the head of “earthquake relief” to the accounts of three individuals in three different banks — Saudi Pak Bank, Standard Chartered and Habib Bank Ltd. One of these banks is UK based and has its presence in Azad Kashmir because of a huge number of British citizens of Kashmir origin in UK. The money was transferred from UK to banks in Azad Kashmir through Barclays Plc..

Two of the recipients of the transaction are British citizens of Kashmir origin while the third is an Islamabad-based builder, also of Kashmir origin. They were arrested in the last two weeks at three different places in the country. One of them was arrested in Karachi, the “builder” was arrested in Islamabad while the place of the arrest of the third suspect is still not known. There are no available details about these three suspects with regard to their links with organisations such as Al Qaeda or Lashkar-e-Taiba or both.

Hosed again
by George Ochenski
More than coincidence to BP’s Alaska closure?

Some might think it’s just serendipitous that British Petroleum (BP), owners of the Alaska Pipeline, happened to “discover severe corrosion” and shut the pipeline down precisely as the nation writhes under record high prices for gasoline and diesel. Then again, given the blind eyes the Bush administration and the Republican-dominated Congress have turned toward any regulation of energy corporations—and the record profits those companies are greedily reaping as energy prices soar—one might wonder if there’s more than just blind coincidence at work here.

For those who weren’t yet born then—or for whom time has dimmed the details—a brief review of the history of the Trans-Alaska Pipeline may prove useful. Massive oil deposits were discovered on Alaska’s North Slope in 1968 and by 1970 a consortium of energy corporations had settled on building a huge pipeline to move the black gold to market. Getting the oil from the wells in ice-locked Prudhoe Bay to the southern Alaska port of Valdez, however, presented one of the greatest engineering and construction challenges in the nation’s history.

Since the 800-mile pipeline would transect the Alaskan wilderness, cross 34 major rivers, 800 streams and three mountain ranges, environmental damage was a hot issue. But then, as now, the populace was bluffed by politicians and their corporate cronies into believing an energy crisis had been caused by the Arab oil embargo, and that increasing domestic oil supplies by building the controversial pipeline was “in the national interest.”

In November 1973, Vice President Spiro Agnew broke a deadlocked Senate with his vote to pass the Trans-Alaska Pipeline Authorization Act, which sought to ensure the pipeline would be “constructed promptly without further administrative or judicial delay or impediment.” The federal grant of right-of-way, however, required the energy consortium to “employ all practicable means and measures to preserve and protect the environment” during construc

and values with economic practicalities and technical capabilities.” Construction began in April 1974 and continued at a frenzied pace to the 1977 completion of the pipeline.

As a young mountaineer in the mid-’70s, I had the opportunity to spend two summers in Alaska on major climbing expeditions and got a firsthand look at the pipeline being built—and oh what a look it was! One day I watched a string of D-9 Cats march blade-to-blade into a large river and literally move it across the flood plain to a new channel. Maybe they were balancing the impacts to environmental amenities and values—or maybe they weren’t. It really didn’t matter because nothing was standing in the way of the pipeline construction. Helicopters buzzed overhead continuously while trucks moved 3 million tons of materials into the state to build 29 construction camps and 14 temporary airfields. Money flowed like water and when all was said and done, some $8 billion dollars had been spent to employ 70,000 construction workers to build the line across the frozen north. As one friend commented, he hadn’t seen anything like it since being in a war zone in Vietnam.

Finally, in 1977, the consortium sent its first oil to Valdez. Not coincidentally, engineers also developed a device called a “pipeline pig” to travel down the pipeline using ultrasonic transducers to measure and record the thickness of the pipeline’s walls to identify any areas of corrosion before they became significant problems.

Now, nearly 30 years later, BP has just discovered corrosion so severe that it requires shutting the pipeline down. According to the latest news reports, the company hopes it can have the line back up and running by January of next year. In the meantime, 400,000 barrels of oil a day—8 percent of U.S. daily consumption—will stay in the ground as oil prices skyrocket higher and consumers get hosed at the pump.

All this raises the question: What happened to the ultrasonic pipeline pigs? Did they suddenly fail to do their job after having performed well for nearly 30 years? Or are there other factors at work—like declining volumes of oil that make expensive pipeline maintenance or replacement considerably less attractive?
