lgf: Radical Front Groups Seething Over NYPD Terror Report:
"WASHINGTON, Aug. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — The Council on American- Islamic Relations (CAIR) said today that a new NYPD report on “radicalization” may result in all U.S. Muslims being viewed with suspicion. CAIR says the 90-page report purports to outline a four-step process of radicalization, but in fact describes ordinary activities, associations and behaviors as indicators of a potential terror threat. In a statement, CAIR Board Chairman Parvez Ahmed said: “Whatever one thinks of the analysis contained in the report, its sweeping generalizations and mixing of unrelated elements may serve to cast a pall of suspicion over the entire American Muslim community."
I got two sides to this.
One is that it is hard to determine if a group of people are getting together to plan a football game or a wedding, even a vacation - or an attack. The report goes on to say that there is nothing that they could find common amongst all attackers. What that means for law enforcement is that it should not assume that every meeting is a terrorist meeting.
Two, for those who claim that this is going to make people suspicious of Arabs. I got news for you, right or wrong, what makes people suspicious of Arabs is 9/11, and other attacks that have been carried out by Arabs. Most Americans understand that not all Arabs are bad people, but for those with doubts, the seeds were planted not by Americans or the police but by other Arabs and Muslims.

lgf: Giuliani's Foreign Policy Statement:
lgf: Giuliani's Foreign Policy Statement:
I have posted this before, but I wanted to re-post it because I focused on the last half of it last time. I think he makes some solid points in the first paragraph. Democracy is about more than voting, it is a cultural attitude, and a change that takes time. It makes me wonder if Iraq needs more time before it can be a democracy. I am not suggesting that they can't ever be democratic, but that they need to learn how to understand it. Democracy is not voting for the person who shares your beliefs, it is not voting for the person your spouse votes for, it is not voting for a fellow member of your extended clan or tribe. It is voting for the person with the best ideas. I think that sometimes this is lost, this is lost even in America sometimes, and we have a long history of elections.
"America has a clear interest in helping to establish good governance throughout
the world. Democracy is a noble ideal, and promoting it abroad is the right
long-term goal of U.S. policy. But democracy cannot be achieved rapidly or
sustained unless it is built on sound legal, institutional, and cultural
foundations. It can only work if people have a reasonable degree of safety and
security. Elections are necessary but not sufficient to establish genuine
democracy. Aspiring dictators sometimes win elections, and elected leaders
sometimes govern badly and threaten their neighbors. History demonstrates that
democracy usually follows good governance, not the reverse. U.S. assistance can
do much to set nations on the road to democracy, but we must be realistic about
how much we can accomplish alone and how long it will take to achieve lasting
progress.
The election of Hamas in the Palestinian-controlled
territories is a case in point. The problem there is not the lack of statehood
but corrupt and unaccountable governance. The Palestinian people need decent
governance first, as a prerequisite for statehood. Too much emphasis has been
placed on brokering negotiations between the Israelis and the Palestinians —
negotiations that bring up the same issues again and again. It is not in the
interest of the United States, at a time when it is being threatened by Islamist
terrorists, to assist the creation of another state that will support terrorism.
Palestinian statehood will have to be earned through sustained good governance,
a clear commitment to fighting terrorism, and a willingness to live in peace
with Israel. America’s commitment to Israel’s security is a permanent feature of
our foreign policy."

lgf: Mass Murder in Iraq:
Violence like this might be blamed on Americans, but it should be blamed on Islam. I am beginning to wonder if Iraq is headed for a blood bath of biblical proportions no matter what the outcome with American troops is. When the violence is about the terrorists, then you can root out the terrorists. When the violence is about Sunni versus Shia, maybe you can settle the peace, and they will stop fighting when they form a government. An event like this is a window into a violent nature that doesn't want peace, unless it is the peace of submission. America has a lot to lose in Iraq, and it just may be facing a battle that it can't win.
"The U.S. military blamed al-Qaida in Iraq, and an American commander called the
assault an “act of ethnic cleansing.” The victims of Tuesday night’s coordinated
attack by four suicide bombers were Yazidis, a small Kurdish-speaking sect that
has been targeted by Muslim extremists who consider its members to be
blasphemers. The blasts in two villages near the Syrian border crumbled
buildings, trapping entire families beneath mud bricks and other wreckage.
Entire neighborhoods were flattened."

"GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — Saraa Barhoum picked at the buttons on her pink bellbottom jeans as she twisted on a chair inside the bustling new Hamas television headquarters. The afternoon light bounced off the sparkly outlines of butterflies on her frilly top, and a colorful hijab framed her 11-year-old face. Saraa wants to be a doctor. If she can’t, the young star of Hamas television’s best-known children’s show said, she’d be proud to become a martyr. Saraa says little Jewish girls should be forced from their homes in Israel so that Palestinians can return to their land."

lgf: Taxi Jihad in Vancouver:
I want to be clear, this is upsetting to me, even before I begin to read the details. A blind person with a dog should be able to use the same services as the rest of us. In my opinion blind people are one of the few groups that have the right to service animals. To discriminate against a blind person because they have a dog with them is wrong. It is doubtful to me that it had anything to do with the dog.
Then I read the excuse he gave about religion. I am not a scholar but I have never heard of this in my experience of studying religion. It sounds to me like a lie that was invented to cover the truth, that he did not want to service a disabled person. Even if that is the case, I have little respect for a religion that cannot allow its followers to look with grace and mercy on those who have greater struggles and to help them. Even when that means doing something you otherwise should not.

dog in his cab has reached a $2,500 settlement with North Shore Taxi. Bruce
Gilmour, 49, had called a cab from a West Vancouver coffee shop after a day of

refused to transport Gilmour and his golden retriever Arden, saying his religion
prevents him from associating with dogs."

Captain's Quarters: Are The Wheels Coming Off For Obama?
More boots on the ground means that the enemy will draw them into street battles, taking aim from houses or mosques. Forcing the troops to return fire in a situation where innocent people will be caught in the cross fire. It also means more target for suicide bombers. The reality is that we cannot win this war as long as they are able to hide among the civilians.
"Obama defended his push to prosecute a tougher military effort to root out
al-Qaida on the Afghanistan-Pakistan border, which drew criticism from primary
rivals for sounding too bellicose. “Now you have narco drug lords who are
helping to finance the Taliban, so we’ve got to get the job done there, and that
requires us to have enough troops that we are not just air raiding villages and
killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there,’’ Obama said.
Campaign spokesman Reid Cherlin said Obama was not endorsing the current Bush
policy, which consists solely of air raids and bombing of civilians."

If you ask me it is Al Sharpton this young lady should be suing. Imus made a mistake and said it once on the air. Sharpton took advantage of that mistake and that young girl for his political advantage, making a single comment the most repreat phrase of the year on television news (ok I don't know that). The point is, that Sharpton, in order to push his own political agenda forward took steps that harmed this girls career and her life. If Imus should be sued, so should Sharpton.
"Kia Vaughn, star center for the Rutgers Women’s Basketball team, has filed a
lawsuit against Imus for libel, slander and defamation — the first civil suit to
be filed against the former radio host. Vaughn is asking for monetary damages of
an unspecified amount…Today’s suit refers to terms used by Imus April 4 —
including referring to women on the team as “nappy headed” — as “debasing,
demeaning, humiliating, and denigrating” to Vaughn and her fellow players.
“There’s no way these bigoted remarks should have seen the light of day,”
Ancowitz told ABC News.“Don Imus referred to my client as an unchaste woman.
That was and is a lie.”"

Well that is good news, I didn't really see them together as a couple anyways. I think that Mandy has a little more class then that, though she did date DJ AM.
"John Mayer, one of Hollywood's least-expected heartthrobs, has wooed the likes
of Jennifer Love Hewitt and Jessica Simpson. Today Extra reports that he hasn't,
however, explored the bodily wonderland of Mandy Moore. And that comes straight
from the singer/actress' mouth!"

Janice thinks she so cool — Top Socialite:
At least someone thinks she is cool, I don't know anyone who does. She bugs me, in a Teri Hatcher sort of way, that way that when you see them you want to look away.
"The super annoying Janice Dickinson from “America’s Next Top Model” showed up
at the premiere of “Superbad” with this poor guy. She made him wear a t-shirt
cut in half to show off his abs, and then to boot it says “security” on it. Like
she has the hot security guy to escort her around all day. How charming…"

Gates of Vienna: September Nonsense
Gates of Vienna: September Nonsense:
While this movie isn't about the threat of Islam, that doesn't mean it doesn't address the issue of terror and Islam. The key to this movie, is about the crimes that can and do take place in the name of religion. Like Islam, or Christianity or even Mormonism. When religious power and political power are held to closely, in the same hands, abuse of this power has lead to deadly results. Yes in September, in New York City, but also in Utah in 1857.
"Black Diamond Pictures is about to screen a new movie about the insane but
charismatic founder of a religious cult whose followers are inspired to commit
mass slaughter against innocent civilians. “Wot th’-!?” you say. “So Hollywood
finally gets it about Islamic terrorism, eh?” Well, not quite. These particular
murderous religious fanatics are Mormons, the followers of Joseph Smith, and the
year is 1857. The film in question is called September Dawn, and is coming on
August 24th to a theater near you."

Remember that wall that I keep saying is a bad idea and a waste of money. There are some other people it turns out that don't like the idea either. Who are these people? The people whose communities will be cut in half by the wall.
"It was something that caught Chertoff and the Department of Homeland Security
off guard, the White House, Congress and even the average American citizen who
lives miles away from the border in question — Texans, who actually live along
that portion of the border, don’t want it."

Firedoglake - Firedoglake weblog » Just As Long As They Aren’t White, You Can Put Them In Your Sights:
This is the scene of a murder. The murder took place on the Mexican border, and the killers were Americans. What is described is a scene from a video shot by a vigilante group called Minute Men, they like to play army along the southern border. They call it protecting America from immigrants, but when they are shooting and killing those immigrants, that is called murder. Crossing the border illegally is not a crime for which the death penalty is handed down. Even if that were the case, these men are not police officers, let alone judges or jurors. We have a justice system in this country for a reason, and though it isn't perfect, it is not reason enough to take the law, and someone else's life, into your own hands.
"At this point in the video, the backpack-wearing figure begins to slowly
emerge from behind the rock outcropping. “You know what? I’m going to take a
fucking shot,” the first voice says. There are two flashes of light and the
sound of two semi-automatic rifle shots in quick succession. The figure wearing
the backpack appears to fly backward and drop from view. “Oh fuck, I got him
dude!’ the first voice says. “I fuckin’ got him!” There is a pause, then the
first voice says, “Dude, what are we gonna do?” The voice on the walkie-talkie
replies, “Get the shovel, get some lime, and hey, grab me a 12-pack, too, while
you’re up there.”"

Daily Kos: The mask comes off: Susan Collins goes O'Reilly:
What I think is demeaning is the idea that you think you can run for office and control the terms of your public image. Tracking means that you can't say one thing to one group of people, and turn around and day another thing to another group of people. America wants to know that its leaders are honest people. Tracking does not harm an honest and open politician, it does harm the ones that think they can play the system.
"'Tactics such as tracking demean the political process, contribute to voter
cynicism, and have no place in the type of substantive issues-oriented campaigns
that our voters deserve,' wrote Steve Abbott, Collins' chief of staff. "

Daily Kos: Fred Thompson: The Money Is The Problem
Daily Kos: Fred Thompson: The Money Is The Problem:
Is Fred Thompson and his non-campaign breaking the elections laws? A better question is, now that Thompson has done it, and appears to be doing it successfully, should the laws be re-written before future candidates make a joke out of federal election law?
"There certainly are regulations regarding political activity online.
Only, thank goodness, they're not stupid regulations, and they do place certain
obligations on candidates, parties and PACs in their online activities. The fact
that Fred Thompson has a website isn't the problem, nor, even, that's he's
already hiring and firing staffers like a failed candidate. No, the problem is
that once you start raising and spending money like a candidate, and start
referring to yourself as a candidate, you're a candidate, and as I've shown
before it's pretty clear that Thompson's campaign is in violation of the law."

Daily Kos: ME-Sen: Outrage (!) over a traditional campaign tool
Daily Kos: ME-Sen: Outrage (!) over a traditional campaign tool
Well, a note to the Senator, and to anyone who is thinking about running for public office. This type of activity is going to be common place from now on. Everyone wants to get the next Macca moment, and they want it to be an opponent who falls. The issue is that as long as they are in public, and the photographers are not obstructing them in anyway, they are free to tape what they want. It is only an invasion of privacy if you are in a place where privacy is to be expected. An example, if you are in your house, with a large front window with a view to the street and the shades are open while you are having sex - you should not expect privacy. However if you close the drapes, and someone sneaks into your yard and caught you through on crack in the drapes - you could expect privacy. When you are running for office, that is about the most public thing you can do. Get used to the cameras, if you win you will see more of them.
Senator Collins and her official, U.S. Senate staff speaking on behalf of her
campaign have all said quite a lot this week about the fact that she was filmed
during a public parade last weekend. Because of allegations of hovering,
intrusive behavior and intimidation, we thought it important that you see for
yourself film of the only interaction between Senator Collins and our employee,
and the respectful distance to which he kept himself.
Please view the tape here: http://www.youtube.com/...
Please note that when Senator Collins approached our employee, Rick Redmond, to
introduce herself, he shook her hand, told her his name and even told her how
she would remember him from the past. A bit later in the tape, you will see that
she expected to be tracked because it is a normal campaign tool. Senator Collins
asked, “Are you my tracker?” to which Redmond replied, “Yes, ma’am.”
Expressing no sense of surprise or alarm, she then said, “Then we’ll be
seeing a lot of each other on the campaign trail.”

Crooks and Liars » The NAFTA Superhighway doesn’t exist
Crooks and Liars » The NAFTA Superhighway doesn’t exist:
This silly conspiracy has been floating around for too long. First of all there are enough interstates in this country to send goods back and forth between Mexico and Canada in a efficient manner. Second companies are not going to move to Mexico because of a new highway. Most of the companies that can move, and want to move, have moved to Mexico and in some cases China already. Third, a faster means of transporting goods, and yes goods across national borders, would mean less costly goods for Americans.
If you want to prove to someone what a farce this is, point to the I-35W collapse, if any interstate were going to be depended on to be such a super highway, that is the one. They don't invest enough money in it to keep it from falling down.
"Through towns large and small it will run, plowing under family farms,
subdevelopments, acres of wilderness. Equipped with high-tech electronic customs
monitors, freight from China, offloaded into nonunionized Mexican ports, will
travel north, crossing the border with nary a speed bump, bound for Kansas City,
where the cheap goods manufactured in booming Far East factories will embark on
the final leg of their journey into the nation’s Wal-Marts. […] Grassroots
movement exposes elite conspiracy and forces politicians to respond: It would be
a heartening story but for one small detail. There’s no such thing as a proposed
NAFTA Superhighway."

Crooks and Liars » Matthews calls out the Petraeus/WH propaganda Iraq report
Crooks and Liars » Matthews calls out the Petraeus/WH propaganda Iraq report:
This is the greatest weakness of the Bush presidency, he has scorned the democratic process time and time again -in favor of a political process. There were good reasons to go into Iraq, and if more time had been taken to understand and to communicate those reasons, the eventual actions may have been stronger. If we had gone in with a larger body of international support, with more troops, more intelligence, more planing, the attack could have been a strong success. However the road Bush took, was the road of politics,where if you don't need to bring people over to your side, you do it without them. In September, there are a number of democrats and a number of republicans who are sitting on the fence with the war in Iraq. I think an honest answer, even if it is bad news could maintain their standing in support of the war. On the other hand, even good news that is delivered in a political speech from the White House is bad news. What America needs right now in regards to Iraq, is not more politics, but more truth.
"Chris: Is the White House going to pull a Lucy again? With the football trick,
all over again? For months President Bush has been asking us to wait for a
report from General Petraeus. How many times have we heard that phrase? “Wait
for the report from General Petraeus.” Now we learn that the White House is
going to write that report - the White House - and that the General will testify
publicly before Congress only after the report’s been written by Bush’s people.
Is this a sign of something we’ve seen before, is the Bush Administration going
to politicize that critical September report instead of letting the General
deliver a full and honest raw assessment to the American people? "

Fred The Fearless?
Captain's Quarters: Fred The Fearless?
He says he wants to run a different style of campaign, is that one that never declares that it is running? He makes some strong points here, but it still sounds like political hash to me. I still don't think that Fred is going to run for office, he is missing his window. At the end of the day we might just look back at this and understand that what he was saying was that he wanted to inject ideas into the race. He wanted the threat that he would run, to change the positions of others in the race, and it has. He has every right to do that.
"'There's no reason for me to run just to be president,' he said. 'I don't
desire the emoluments of the office. I don't want to live a lie and clever my
way to the nomination or election. But if you can put your ideas out there --
different, more far-reaching ideas -- that is worth doing.' Thompson, like many
of the others running, has caught a strong whiff of the public disillusionment
with both parties in Washington -- and the partisanship that has infected
Congress, helping to speed his own departure from the Senate. But he says he
thinks the public is looking for a different kind of leadership. 'I think a
president could go to the American people and say, 'Here's what we need to be
doing. And I'm willing to go halfway. Now you have to make them [the opposition]
go halfway.' '"

A Step In The Wrong Direction (Update: Kyllo)
Captain's Quarters: A Step In The Wrong Direction (Update: Kyllo)
While I am not shaken by this on the grounds of privacy, since that is not a large concern to me, I do see what could be problems. One problem could develop between state-local governments and the federal government. If the federal government is in the hands of one party and the state-local government is in the hands of another, could the feds resist co-operation. Second, as Ed points out in his article, the court has found that if the police use enhanced technologies to see into a residence, that they need a search warrant for that, which they should get. If you can get a search warrant, why do you need this technology. Third these are forces that should be aimed at keeping America safe from invasion, safe from threats on the outside, to focus them on the country means they are not watching external threats, is that a good distraction.
The best use I would see for a technology like this is in crowd mapping. At an event like Thanksgiving Day Parada, or the Super Bowl, an political rally or any gathering of people. If there were an attack at such an event, knowing how large the crowd was, and where it was concentrated would be very useful in sending in help to those who needed it, and directing people away from trouble. One of the common problems in protests, is that the police will send crowds the wrong way, and into more trouble. It is assumed that they do this on purpose, but maybe it is an accident caused by being to close to the action and not knowing where the crowd is moving.
"The Bush administration wants to allow law-enforcement agencies to use
military and intelligence satellites as a resource for investigations. Real-time
imagery and technology than can look inside buildings and even bunkers could be
used to pursue criminal investigations, a boon for law enforcement officials --
but a nightmare for civil libertarians:"

Senator Reid blasts Bush attempt to kill Petraeus appearance before Congress - AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth:
If we are going to understand the situation in Iraq as a nation, and if congress is going to make clear and educated decisions about the war, then Petraeus needs to talk to them. It isn't enough for him to give his report to the executive branch, and for the executive branch to pass it along to congress. He must be present to be able to answer questions that congress might have in regards to the war and how it is being run. I don't have any judgements right now that it is going good or bad, and hopefully congress will be able to be open minded when they hear the report.
"'The White House's effort to prevent General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker
from testifying openly and candidly before Congress about the situation in Iraq
is unacceptable. Not only does it contradict the law President Bush himself
signed in May, but it appears to be yet another politically driven attempt to
avoid giving Congress and the American people an honest and open assessment of a
war we can all see is headed in the wrong direction."

Mitt Roughs Up Online Sex Predators , Civil Liberties | Air America Radio
Mitt Roughs Up Online Sex Predators , Civil Liberties Air America Radio:
There is a more practical concern here, there is no reason that I know of to believe that someone who has committed one sex crime, is a sex criminal in a compulsive sense. However there are a number of people out there that are compulsive sex offenders. If you track them all by GPS after their first offense, it will be counter effective. The numbers of people the system would have to attempt to track would be so large, that it would be easy for the dangerous ones to evade observation.
Sex Crimes are terrible, and I think that there should be no room for tolerance of them. We do have to act wisely though, understanding our resources and understanding the crime.
"Mitt Romney believes that online sex predators should be punished no matter
what it cost to our civil liberties. He has proposed amplified punishment for
online sex offenders and a lifetime tracking Global Positioning System for first
time offenders. Late last month Romney said, 'It's time to clean up the
Internet, make sure that those people who are using the Internet to become
predators against children, that those people are gone forever. I want to put
them in jail for a long time and make sure we have GPS on them for the rest of
their lives. One strike and they're ours. I want to know where they are
forever.” Many people have problems with Romney’s proposal because it violates
civil liberties and ultimately would not deterrent sex predators. They believe
the best way to deter is to education children on this issue. "

defendants were found guilty on all charges: 'Guilty on all counts. Jose
