Congress Votes to Waive All Laws for Homeland Security

[Yikes! -Thomas]
An article from OMB Watch points to provisions in the REAL ID Act, HR 418,
which would put the Secretary of Homeland Security above the law in what
appears to be a dangerous precedent. See also an earlier article (Feb. 7)
at http://www.ombwatch.org/article/articleview/2655/1/316 , which includes
text of the provision in question.

Good Ayatollah/Bad Ayatollah

Good Ayatollah (Sistani, Iraq… but a citizen of Iran?!?)

Bad Ayatollah (Khomeini, Iran)
Clearly, there’s a difference! Or not. (note: articles are by same person)

Another successful election!

“United States officials were surprised and heartened today at the size of
turnout in South Vietnam’s presidential election despite a Vietcong
terrorist campaign to disrupt the voting. According to reports from
Saigon, 83 percent of the 5.85 million registered voters cast their
ballots yesterday. Many of them risked reprisals threatened by the
Vietcong. A successful election has long been seen […]

Why “our side” lost?

[O.K. I’m still ambivalent about the whole Kerry campaign, therefore the quotes around “our side”, but this is at least an interesting analysis… encouraging in a way, as I’m pessimistic about the ultimate outcome in Iraq, and if we’re still there four years from now, and Al Qaeda is still blowing up things on a […]

More you can do: Donate to Kucinich and/or Cobb

I’m still a Green (not to mention broke), and matched my contribution to Dennis with one to the Green Party’s nominee for President, David Cobb, but I felt compelled to do something to impact the course of events at the DNC and within the Democratic Party and Kerry campaign in light of the events below.

New Meme: We Apologize for Abu Ghraib

Neal Pollack convined people across the web to declare April 15th, “Fair and Balanced Day” to protest Fox News’ decision to sue Al Franken for using the words “fair and balanced” in the title of his book, and add the phrase “Fair and Balanced” to their web site, either in the title, or in a […]

Something to do in response to Hersh’s revelation.

Go to FaithfulAmerica.org, and donate to support their campaign to put this ad, on Arab television. More than ever, the world needs to hear the message that at least some Americans are horrified by the torture in Iraq.

“The worst is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking…”

Excerpted from a “MisLeader.Org” update:

Leading investigative journalist Seymour Hersh has told the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) that videotapes were made of young boys being sodomized at Abu Ghraib prison. The Bush administration is holding videotapes of these acts, said Hersh, a regular contributor to the New Yorker and other publications and who spoke this […]

Really good questions re: 2nd Amendment

[From a mailing list of friends that I’m on. Point three has occured to me numerous times… really, given the unsurpassed lethality of modern professional infantry, what chance would your average citizen gun-owner have of organizing and participating in an effective armed resistance? If you look at Iraq and other areas, actual gunbattles appear to […]

I write badly, therefore I am a would-be terrorist
By CHARLES C. GREEN
I don’t think of myself as a dangerous character. Neither, I think, do
the lively old ladies who routinely trample me on the escalators at
Neiman Marcus. Nor the other software salesmen who race past me into
early retirement. […]

Update on the status of women in Iraq: not good.

Iraqi journalist Bushra Juhi has a depressing account of the position of women in post-Saddam Iraq…
“For a woman reporter in Iraq, a hair out of place can cause an uproar.”
“Perhaps worse than the asphyxiating dress code is to not be acknowledged as a professional, a reporter, a human being.”
No kidding. Apparently, this is worst […]

Being a geek hazardous to your health?

Apparently, I missed this angle on plans by the Selective Service agency to extend the age at which registration is mandatory to age 34 (along with adding women to the mix) — they want to require folks to tell them whether than have skills that are particularly in demand, said skills being linguistic facility in […]
