30 Percent of US weapons missing

Washington Post

The Pentagon has lost track of about 190,000 AK-47 assault rifles and
pistols given to Iraqi security forces in 2004 and 2005, according to
a new government report, raising fears that some of those weapons have
fallen into the hands of insurgents fighting U.S. forces in Iraq.

The report from the Government Accountability Office indicates that
U.S. military officials do not know what happened to 30 percent of the
weapons the United States distributed to Iraqi forces from 2004
through early...

Selective Prosecution
The New York Times | Editorial

Monday 06 August 2007

One part of the Justice Department mess that requires more
scrutiny is the growing evidence that the department may have singled
out people for criminal prosecution to help Republicans win elections.
The House Judiciary Committee has begun investigating several cases
that raise serious questions. The panel should determine what role
politics played in all of them.

Putting political opponents in jail is the sort of thing that
happens in third-world dictatorships. In the United States,
prosecutions are supposed to be scrupulously nonpartisan. This
principle appears to have broken down in Alberto Gonzales's Justice
Department - where lawyers were improperly hired for nonpolitical jobs
based on party membership, and United States attorneys were apparently
fired for political reasons.

The Fear of Fear Itself

It was appalling to watch over the last few days as Congress — now led
by Democrats — caved in to yet another unnecessary and dangerous
expansion of President Bush’s powers, this time to spy on Americans in
violation of basic constitutional rights. Many of the 16 Democrats in
the Senate and 41 in the House who voted for the bill said that they
had acted in the name of national security, but the only security at
play was their job security.

There was plenty of bad behavior. Republicans marched in mindless
lockstep with the president. There was double-dealing by the White
House. The director of national intelligence, Mike McConnell, crossed
the line from being a steward of this nation’s security to acting as a
White House political operative.

This Canuck bozo in the fright wig and really big, floppy shoes not only
can't even spell fascism, he doesn't understand the concept, nor ID'ed the
source of this so-called "editorial." Likely some lunatic loony left blog.
No intellectual rigor here, eh!

Now you should be able to actually read the article. So try to take
out the Fox News enema tube stuck in your ass and answer it's points.

P.S. I'm a U.S. citizen, but unlike you, who never got beyond the
radius of his outhouse, I have seen how much better off people are
when they aren't ruled by a gang of thieves.

Our Lowlife fascist is plagued by smells. I guess that's why his
comments about anything serious refer to little else.

The coming police state         


Author: Mani Deli
Date: Aug 9, 2007 22:57

During the webcast of a concert the lyric against President George
Bush. The lines -- "George Bush, leave this world alone" and "George
Bush find yourself another home" were somehow lost in the mix.

Lost?

AT&T's history of breaking trust includes handing over private phone
records to the government, pledging never to interfere with the free
flow of information online while hatching plans along with Cisco,
Viacom, RIAA and MPA to build and deploy technology that will spy on
user traffic.

Never trust AT&T. The company wants to control its users; where they
go, what they watch and whom they listen to online etc.
The censorship software that was developed for China by Google, Yahoo,
At&T, and Microsoft is not going to be used in the U.S…..…SURE!

Strange, the nations of Europe managed to survive decades of terrorism
without turning their countries into police states. Why can't
Americans?

Data-Mining Our Liberties

Quote from Data-Mining Our Liberties By Aziz Huq The Nation

" The key term in the Protect America Act is its licensing of
"surveillance directed at a person reasonably believed to be located
outside of the United States." This language has a superficial
reasonableness, since domestic surveillance has long been understood
to raise the most troubling abuse concerns.

But the trouble with this language is that it permits freewheeling
surveillance of Americans' international calls and e-mails. The
problem lies in the words "directed at." Under this language, the NSA
could decide to "direct" its surveillance at Peshawar, Pakistan - and
seize all US calls going to and from there. It could focus on Amman,
or Cairo, or London, or Paris, or Toronto... Simply put, the law is an
open-ended invitation to collect Americans' international calls and
e-mails.

Further, the law does not limit the collection of international
calls to security purposes: Rather, it seems the government can seize
any international call or e-mail for any reason -"

Any reason being, listening into calls for financial advantage for
government cronies and those that oppose the government.
