The Terror America WroughtDuring a week of mayhem in Iraq, in which terrorists have rightly been condemned for targeting schoolchildren, it is sobering to recall that this week is also the 62nd anniversary of a U.S. attack that deliberately took the lives of thousands of children on their way to school in the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. The roar of a B-29 breaks the morning calm. A parachute opens in the blue sky. Then suddenly, a flash, an enormous blastsilencehell on Earth. The eyes of young girls watching the parachute were melted. Their faces became giant charred blisters. The skin of people seeking help dangled from their fingernails. ... Others died when their eyeballs and internal organs burst from their bodiesHiroshima was a hell where those who somehow survived envied the dead. Baghdad Raid Kills 32, Sparks ProtestsAn overnight attack carried out by American and Iraqi forces against an alleged militant cell killed 32 people in Sadr City, U.S. military sources reported on Wednesday. The raid targeted members of the Mahdi Army militia believed to be smuggling weapons and working in tandem with Iranian militants against U.S. forces, but other sources claimed that women and children numbered among the dead. President Bush promises 'justice' for Iranians interfering in Iraq in Fox interviewThe logic that defends past nuclear atrocities is now used to support a strike against IranThe same absurd and dangerous logic that defends the nuclear atrocities of 1945 can now be used to support the pre-emptive use of nuclear weapons against Iran - the threat of which in turn makes the idea of a conventional attack appear more palatable. The Other War: Iraq Vets Bear WitnessHe recalled his supervisor telling his platoon point-blank, "The Geneva Conventions don't exist at all in Iraq, and that's in writing if you want to see it." Ron Paul Internet TrendsLooking good Ron!. Its called, circular accountabilityIn the Bush administration, this is what passes for accountability. Gonzales and McConnell will have the responsibility for designing the surveillance system (determining who gets spied on) and the responsibility for determining whether theyre meeting their own criteria. Its a bit like writing the test, and then getting to grade it yourself. Glenn Greenwald on CSPAN: FISAGG: You admit that this new law does not require them to say that the person they are listening in on has anything to do with terrorism. That requirement has been eliminated with this new law. You admit that, right? Theres no requirement at all& Rivkin: That is correct& ACLU Asks Secret Intelligence Court to Release Orders That Led to "Emergency" Wiretapping LegislationIn the first effort of its kind, the American Civil Liberties Union will today file legal papers with the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) requesting that it disclose recent legal opinions discussing the scope of the government's authority to engage in secret wiretapping of Americans. Pakistan May Crack Down on FreedomsAny guesses as to who may be next? The Pakistani government may declare a state of emergency, which would grant it extraordinary powers, limit civil liberties and extend the political lifespan of embattled President Gen. Pervez Musharraf. Bridge Hero Gets Offer: Paid TuitionWhen President Bushs staff contacted him to request a photo opportunity, He was just, like, Nope, she said. Bush says he'll veto children's health fundingWelcome to AmericaWhen writer Elena Lappin flew to LA, she dreamed of a sunkissed, laid-back city. But that was before airport officials decided to detain her as a threat to security ... The Chasers Look At FOX NewsAfter Propagating False Iraq Intel, NYTs Michael Gordon Now Echoing Bush Claims On IranIn todays New York Times, reporter Michael Gordon uncritically reports that the increase in attacks on American forces is the result of a lethal type of roadside bomb said to be supplied by Iran. Gordons piece relies primarily on a single military source, fails to challenge the sources information, and casually dismisses contrary opinions as the complaints of some critics of Bush. Bush Teaches His Dog a New TrickWebsites could be required to retain visitor infoWSJ Online: Snoop Nation is All GoodThe NSA, of course, has snooped on Americans since it was established by pen flourish in 1952. In fact, government cryptologists set the precedent well before the creation of the NSA with the Shamrock program, an idea spawned by military censorship during WWII. Copies of foreign telegraph traffic had been turned over to military intelligence during the war, and, when the war ended, the Army Security Agency sought to have this continue.

Maybe those pesky spammers ain't so bad after all :) PC buyers: 'Vista Capable' machines weren't Vista capableNo, i will not be down... um, "upgrading" to Vista. Next OS is Linux or ReactOS. For now i'll stick with XP Pro and nLite. On Tuesday, a federal judge ruled that two PC buyers, Dianne Kelley and Kenneth Hansen, can proceed with a lawsuit that accuses Microsoft of deliberately deceiving the public with the "Window Vista Capable" stickers it slapped on Windows XP machines in the run-up to Vista's January debut, InformationWeek reports. The Disclosure Project May 9th 2001 National Press Club ConferenceDid you watch it yet? CORRECTION: Yesterday i ran a quote from a story and my comment together. The highlighted portion below is my comment, not a quote from the article: Stephen Colbert Warning To America: Beware The North American Union!!On Mondays Colbert Report Stephen puts out an all points bulletin to America, warning of the impending superhighway being planned by the North American Union that will run from Mexico, through the heart of America and end in Canada.
