ThinkFast: April 16, 2007
“About 70% of primary school students in a Baghdad neighborhood suffer symptoms of trauma-related stress such as bed-wetting or stuttering, according to a survey by the Iraqi Ministry of Health.”
“The Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section is investigating connections between disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff and the White House, a probe that may be affected by missing White House emails.” Beginning more than a year ago, federal prosecutors and FBI agents interviewed Abramoff and others “at length about numerous contacts between Mr. Abramoff and White House officials, including presidential adviser Karl Rove.”
“Radical cleric Moqtada al-Sadr pulled his six ministers out of Iraq’s beleaguered coalition government on Monday as he pushed his demand for a rapid withdrawal of US troops from the country.” Prime Minister Maliki’s government is expected to survive.
“Middle-class Americans, listen up: the I.R.S. is much more likely to audit you this year. Those caught cheating can expect to pay about $4,100 more on average in income taxes. … Audits of these middle-class taxpayers rose to nearly 436,000 last year, up from about 147,000 returns in 2000.”
“Americans by a narrow margin agree that Don Imus should have lost his nationally-syndicated radio show last week, but while whites are evenly divided on the issue a sizeable majority of African Americans support the firing, according to a poll released today.”
“Six years after declaring the U.S. killing of Korean War refugees at No Gun Ri was ‘not deliberate,’ the Army has acknowledged it found but did not divulge that a high-level document said the U.S. military had a policy of shooting approaching civilians in South Korea.”
“A defiant Paul D. Wolfowitz said Sunday that he would not resign as president of the World Bank in the face of controversy over his role in securing a State Department job and large raise for his girlfriend, a former communications official at the bank.”
67: Percentage of Americans, “including a narrow majority of Republicans,” who “see political motivations behind last year’s firings of eight chief federal prosecutors.” Americans also believe Alberto Gonzales should resign by a margin of 45 percent to 39 percent.
“Rudy Giuliani will speak tomorrow at the university founded by televangelist Pat Robertson, a major appearance for the former mayor before a conservative crowd.”
And finally: Presidential sympathy for Britney Spears. During a speech yesterday at the Claremont Colleges, President Bill Clinton shifted from globalization to “express sympathy” for Spears, “whose unusual behavior since her separation from husband Kevin Federline culminated in February when she shaved her head bald. ‘A lot of people have trouble when they’re in their 20s and they’re instantly famous, and they have all these pressures going on,’ he said. ‘She should be allowed to go through it by herself.’”

The criminal Chimpy administration is destroying an entire generation of lives in both Iraq and the U.S.A..
April 16th, 2007 at 9:02 amthe Justice Department’s Public Integrity Section..wow… those pesky liberals were apparently able to infiltrate this institution as well, and are now apparently helping congress engage in a partisan witch hunt,,,because we ALL know that presidents can legally get rid of prosecutors who are following the trail of slime that leads straight back to thier own office…
ps. thanks for those pics #1, im about to lose my lunch…
April 16th, 2007 at 9:12 amI personally think Imus should be able to say what he wants to say ( I disagree wholeheartedly) — and I think Rosie should be able to sat what she wants about 9/11 (which I agree with wholeheartedly)
…this is a very dangerous road to go down.
There should be a new investigation into 9/11.
April 16th, 2007 at 9:14 amre: bedwetting….
So they and Jake, Patrick, firehead now have that in common..
Winning the minds of the young Iraqi’s
Mission Accomplished, war for another generation!
April 16th, 2007 at 9:16 amKay, what we have seen with the Imus situation was a perfect example of free-market censorship. Imus can still say whatever he wants, it’s just that people are no longer paying to listen to him.
April 16th, 2007 at 9:19 am#4 Imus IS free to say whatever he wants…. in whatever venue is willing to house him. CBS is no longer willing. I really fail to see the murky area on this issue really. Someone got fired for being an idiot.
April 16th, 2007 at 9:22 am#6 exactly
April 16th, 2007 at 9:22 amkay sez:
There should be a real investigation into 9/11.
There…fixed that for you.
April 16th, 2007 at 9:27 amFor the record, boycotts and other market manipulations are NOT part of the free market. If Imus had been fired because his ratings went down, now THAT would be free market forces — I guess none of you took economics in school?
April 16th, 2007 at 9:40 amSorry but there are some major questions to be asked about the use of the photograph of the 2 girls above folks. For starters, who are they? Where were they photographed? Under what circumstances or situation were they photographed? Who photographed them? the image used above is extremely provocative and i think we as viewers need some context for their presentation or they could and should be viewed as pure agit propaganda.
April 16th, 2007 at 9:41 amComment by Jake — April 16, 2007 @ 9:40 am
I’d reply, but there’s no point, as a) you’ll just childishly ignore me again, and b) everyone else concerned (”lurkers” included) are quite aware that you need not be taken seriously.

April 16th, 2007 at 9:46 amthose sissy Iraqi kids - always whining and wetting themselves when the mighty mighty god fearin’ amerikans are only bringing them democracy and freedom !!!

April 16th, 2007 at 9:46 am#10. Haha! I guess you’ve never lived in the real world?? There is no such thing as a free market. I guess that 101 level economics class starts to fall apart when things get complicated.

April 16th, 2007 at 9:52 amRaven you are absolutely out of your mind. You are a commenter on this thread and I don’t believe you have any responsibility to TP. The picture used above is clearly at the top of this thread, not from some link from a commenter. Go ahead and support this kind of blatant disrespect for the viewer and TP loses all of it’s well deserved credibility. Those kids could be from Cleveland. There is no association to the USA Today article what so ever. This is pure propaganda of the worse kind, emotionally distressed children being exploited for sensationalism, without context being verified.
April 16th, 2007 at 9:53 amSo, basically there is no ‘good news’ to report at this stage.
April 16th, 2007 at 9:55 amI think hate mongering and name calling should have a quick and clean ending. Firing. No one will learn from racist name calling, as is the case with Imus. He has done it before. Let us raise the bar in our dialogue with each other and get off the floor like the primatives we once were. I believe in the Hate Crime laws of Canada where Imus would have been charged for inciting hate.
April 16th, 2007 at 9:57 amAnyone without an Ignore List who would like to discuss with me how the corporations not wanting to buy the Imus product is part of the free market, should let me know.

April 16th, 2007 at 10:01 amPlaying Politics With Soldiers Lives
Monday 16th of April 2007
by Jay Randal
While Republicans and Democrats in DC play politics over the Iraq Fiasco War, more US soldiers are killed or maimed on daily basis, so this pisses-off the public.
As presidential contenders jockey for polling positions the situation in Iraq gets worse, as Iraqi civilians are slain in horrific acts of sectarian carnage, so Iraq dies.
The lusting to control Iraq’s OIL has driven the Bush Regime into insanity, and some members of Congress have lost their minds too, so US can’t survive madness.
Folly for black-gold OIL rivals the mad rush for gold in old California, where most lost everything pursuing dreams of wealth, but only a few became rich from it.
The OIL baron CEOs are getting richer daily, but the US government is getting poorer every day, and public gets screwed out of healthcare and retirement benefits.
A nation that cares more about expanding its empire, while neglecting everything else, is seriously dooming itself to the dustbin of history and becomes Roman ruin.
(Jay Randal, political activist and writer in Georgia, USA.)
PS: Contact your Reps and Senators in DC to end Iraq Fiasco War now!

You’re right they are from East LA, nothing like that is going on in Iraq. As a matter of fact all Iraqi children are so happy they are passing out chocolate and flowers to the US Soldiers.

April 16th, 2007 at 10:05 amI agree, fly man, that in this instance the two children are being used as an example of traumatized children.
Perhaps without their express consent.
Without a descriptive of the who, what, why and where.
Your point is accepted and understood.
I have been around this site long enough to trust TP not to engage in any direct falsehoods or misrepresentations.
Propaganda is everywhere.
Open any periodical and view the tall, handsome clean cut young man in a military uniform standing with his noble father and proud mother on the front lawn in Upper Crust Outer Suburbia as he goes off to Iraq and tell me the reality of the who, what why and where the real perpetrators and victims of our atrocities are.

April 16th, 2007 at 10:10 amJake,
It’s windy enough down here in Florida without you adding your hot air to the matter. The fact is, children are being forever scarred by Chimpy’s war on people, Imus said something stupid (again) and was punished for it, and everyone in Washington is in denial that anything has ever gone wrong.
Now, shut up and let the real posters assert their First Amendment rights.
Thank you, and back to our regular scheduled discussion.
April 16th, 2007 at 10:12 amMaybe those on the Ignore List can first decide amonst themselves whether they think this was a) “free market†decision OR b) “free market†does not exist. Then they can elect someone NOT on the “Ignore List†to proceed forward with the debate.
You are one controlling Mother Fuc*er. We are NOT here for you!
April 16th, 2007 at 10:15 amIronic, to me that on the same thread there is a discussion about Don Imus and his one day of his mouth moving faster than his brain. People are willing to JUST accept TP’s word that the association established between the picture used and a peripheral story is legitimate. This is a tactic used by the right in an authoritarian guise, just trust us, no need to pay attention, it’s ok we like your mind on auto pilot. Think for yourselves people while you still can.
April 16th, 2007 at 10:16 amJake, Imus was fired because sponsors pulled out, in simpler terms he was fired because he was costing MSNBC revenue. Had no sponsors pulled out he couldhave continued on his path.

You are correct sir. If the MSM actually showed us the war, there wouldn’t be one now. Not too many people can look at something like that and then have their leaders saying inane things like “Stay the course”, “the surge is working”, etc and not have people spit on them/tear them to shreds. Our President is so outside of reality, he has to have the rest of the nation follow suit.

Conservatives to Bush: Fire Gonzales
Monday, Apr. 16, 2007 By ADAM ZAGORIN/WASHINGTON
In what could prove an embarrassing new setback for embattled Attorney General Alberto Gonzales on the eve of his testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee, a group of influential conservatives and longtime Bush supporters has written a letter to the White House to call for his resignation.
April 16th, 2007 at 10:28 amThe two-page letter, written on stationery of the American Freedom Agenda, a recently formed body designed to promote conservative legal principles, is blunt. Addressed to both Bush and Gonzales, it goes well beyond the U.S. attorneys controversy and details other alleged failings by Gonzales.

April 16th, 2007 at 10:30 amEvil Spaniard, thanks. All i was asking for was that exact contextual information. I still think it was irresponsible for TP not to provide that info. Your comment about not being any city in the US named Kirkuk implies that it was obvious to any one that it was in Kirkuk. I dragged the image and opened it in photoshop and no file information was provided so how could I have possibly known that it was from Iraq until you posted the link?
April 16th, 2007 at 10:31 amspaniard - i tried to do a quick search also…

April 16th, 2007 at 10:37 amkaty, flyman, it’s not too hard to find it. By searching at yahoo, images category, by two girls iraq, I did find the image that has been posted now. Using the text associated to the image, and putting it in the searching bar in yahoo (generic category this time), I did find two articles, one from msnbc, showing the pic and associated history. It happened in Kirkuk in the same day of the rosy visit of McCain.

Well and plainly stated, my dear. :-)
April 16th, 2007 at 10:50 amES, that is not the point. What if you weren’t so conveniently available to submit the information that should be provided next to the picture? The impression is already set in people’s minds that instant. If it was so easy for you to find why didn’t TP just post that with it?Do you work at the CAP? If you do, could you make a suggestion that maybe it would be a good idea to caption specific images that don’t exactly have the identity that an image of a recognized public figure, like say of Sen. McCain has? Here is where the damage could be done, for example I take a screen shot of the whole outline of the thread sans the comments and present it as evidence to support my argument that it was irresponsibly inflammatory on TP’s part? How could they defend themselves? The impression was already made with the viewers.
April 16th, 2007 at 10:50 amAnyone who can look at the picture of those two bloody and terrified girls, and not get teared up, is a sick f*ck.

Why do you think boycott not to be a part of free market?
How else would the buyer tell the producer to give them what they want if the producer refused to listen?

The wives should be interviewed for that study. :D
April 16th, 2007 at 11:28 amiamlgnd:
Read up on Ludwig von Mise. Basically, my answer would be for the same reason monopolies and other market manipulations are not part of a FREE market — in a true FREE market, supply and demand alone sets the market and therefore allocates resources — which would naturally include “customer feedback” but not manipulation by a tiny minority with organized boycotts. As I said above, if Imus had been fired because his RATINGS went down, that would be one thing. As you may guess, his ratings actually SKYROCKETED after the comment ; )
April 16th, 2007 at 11:37 amSo, instead of addressing the article, you attack the photo. Typical DARVO. You sound like a Republican scum operative. You make me sick.
April 16th, 2007 at 11:37 amThere should be a real investigation into 9/11.
Trip Master:
I absolutely agree with you. The first “investigation” was a fraud.
April 16th, 2007 at 11:38 amTime for a real investigation into 9/11.

April 16th, 2007 at 11:49 amComment by the fly-man — April 16, 2007 @ 10:50 am
Problem is, it is not irresponsibly inflammatory if it is accurate. Thanks to the link provided in #40 by Evil Spaniard we know that it is a picture of Iraqi school children injured in a bombing in Iraq where they and others were injured while at school. In other words, the photo is highly relevant to the thread. And you have yet to address the topic of the thread: school children living in a war zone are being traumatized daily.
April 16th, 2007 at 11:53 amBriseadh, i didn’t attack the photo. I attacked the way the photo and the context or lack there of it was presented in. Why should I take TP’s word for it that those girls were really from Iraq? Go back and look at the Armstrong Williams situation. His premise was innocent wasn’t it? Why are we having all these issues with the current administration, lack of transparency. A photograph of 2 unidentified children with what seems to be blood on them is supercharged image and should be handled very carefully. As far as me being a darvo, call me what you want but I don’t just take peoples’ words if they have influence over my life, especially an instrument of a influential policy making organization like the CAP. Sorry you’re so willing to accept their presentation at face value.
April 16th, 2007 at 11:55 amP.S. to be fair, those like Whitman argue (explicitly against Hayek) that “a free market situation is probably also doomed to failure if there exist control persons who are not subject to external disciplines imposed by various forces over and above competition.” The lack of these disciplines, says Whitman, leads to “1. Very exorbitant levels of executive compensation… 2. Poorly financed businesses with strong prospects for money defaults on credit instruments… 3. Speculative bubbles… 4. Tendency for industry competition to evolve into monopolies and oligopolies… 5. Corruption.” For all of these he provides recent examples from the U.S. economy, which he considers to be in some respects under-regulated, although in other respects over-regulated (he is generally opposed to Sarbanes-Oxley, for instance).
Whitman also believes that an apparently “free” relationship — that between a corporation and its investors and creditors — is actually a blend of “voluntary exchanges” and “coercion”. For example, there are “voluntary activities, where each individual makes his or her own decision whether to buy, sell, or hold” but there are also what he defines as “[c]oercive activities, where each individual security holder is forced to go along … provided that a requisite majority of other security holders so vote …” His examples of the latter include proxy voting, most merger and acquisition transactions, certain cash tender offers, and reorganization or liquidation in bankruptcy. Whitman believes that “Corporate America would not work at all unless many activities continued to be coercive.”
I, obviously, disagree.

Sorry. It came of to me like you were pulling a typical deflect, attack and reverse the victim and offender.
TP frequently, if not consistently, has uncaptioned photos to lead off the Thinkfast thread. And instead of addressing the trauma that school kids in Iraq face on a daily basis, you questioned the authenticity of the photo. That struck me as the deflect, then you raised the issue of irresponsible journalism, which looked to me like attacking the messenger.
Have you availed yourself of the “contact us” link to advise TP that they should caption their photos from now on? I do agree that that would be a good suggestion, as it would preemptively prevent anyone from directing the discussion away from the topic and towards attacking TP’s journalistic integrity.

I wont go on further cuz I will end up insulting you like you deserve for that stupid comment.

yes I agree. i don’t know what the flyster was trying to get at. the picture is one of little girls crying and covered in blood. now does any really beleive there aren’t currently ALOT of little girls in iraq crying and covered in blood?
April 17th, 2007 at 12:14 amfrankly, even if the picture itself wasnt taken in iraq, its a very accurate representation of whats going in there now. so its not propoganda… propadanda is pictures which are NOT accurate portrayals..
Logically speaking, Imus’ comment about “nappy headed hos” has a 50% percent chance of being correct. Attention: Village Idiot position available. Why do we make a mountain out of a molehill? An idiot’s days are always numbered. An idiot does not speak from truth to linked truth but spouts off from the wisdom of a base bossom. I’m an idiot, you’re an idiot, Imus is an idiot. Everyone plays the fool sometime. Imus now is a jester who has lost his court over a basketball team that lost their court. Don’t you see the irony in it all?
