“Rep. Don Young (R-A”), who is under FBI investigation and faces a tough reelection fight, opened a legal defense fund earlier this month, according to House filings. The House ethics committee approved the defense fund Jan. 9, but it has not reported taking any donations yet, and Young spokesman Mike Anderson would not say if anyone had written checks.”
The FBI is investigating 14 companies related to the subprime mortgage crisis for “accounting fraud, securitization of loans and insider trading, among other areas.” The agency “is looking into allegations of fraud in various stages of the mortgage process, from companies that bundled the loans into securities to the banks that ended up holding them.”
In a letter to Sen. Pat Leahy (D-VT), Attorney General Mike Mukasey again dodged the issue of waterboarding. “I understand the strong interest in this question, but I do not think it would be responsible for me, as attorney general, to provide an answer,” he said.
Some Methodists “are mounting a last-ditch effort to block” the placement of the George W. Bush Presidential Library, museum and policy institute at Southern Methodist University by forcing a vote at “a regional church conference in July.”
“Economic and employment opportunities are much on the minds of black voters during this presidential campaign season.” Ronald Walters, a professor of government and politics at the University of Maryland, notes “there is something of a permanent recession in the black community.”
Nearly five years after the invasion of Iraq, allied countries have paid just 16 percent of “what they pledged to help rebuild the war-torn country,” according to a new report by the Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction. The biggest shortfalls in pledges are from Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.
“Weapons the U.S. provides to Iraqi security forces may still be ending up in the hands of terrorists, insurgents and criminals,” Defense Department Inspector General Claude Kicklighter told Congress yesterday. A GAO report in July said the Pentagon could not account for 110,000 rifles and 80,000 pistols meant for Iraqi troops.
The U.S. military “is funding the construction of Islamic schools, or madrassas, in the east of Afghanistan in an attempt to stem the tide of young people going to radical religious schools in Pakistan.”
According to a report from ret. Gen. James Jones and Thomas Pickering, “Afghanistan risks sliding into a failed state and becoming the ‘forgotten war’ because of deteriorating international support and a growing violent insurgency.”
And finally: Rep. Chris Shays (R-CT) explains his kiss to the President. “Joe Lieberman got a kiss from the president, so I thought I’d give him one back,” said Shays. He later added, “I said some words of encouragement to the president as he walked by and he pulled me close and whispered something very thoughtful and kind in return.”

Or maybe he has just come to realize that our system of electing a President is hopelessly broken and because of that, he doesn’t stand a chance. Maybe he decided to stop beating his head against a stone wall.
It’s really too bad because he is the one candidate that would have pretty much been guaranteed to win. He doesn’t have Hillary’s baggage and he doesn’t have the “newbie” problem of Obama.

No no – not all madrassas grow “Islamofascists.” Most of them are religious based schools that grow up normal kids into normal adults who get jobs and start businesses and lead perfectly normal lives. It’s mainly in the countries where the U.S. props up a widely disliked, undemocratic, and often despotic regime that you get the kind of madrassas that spawn the more radical elements. You know, places like Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Indonesia, Pakistan, Afg-

January 30th, 2008 at 9:32 amU.S. Trying to “Bribe†Iraqi MPs Over Oil Law
A fascinating story tucked away in the Gulf press.
An anonymous Iraqi MP claims that some U.S. companies have offered a $5 million bribe to each Iraqi MP for passing Iraq’s controversial oil and gas law which has been stalled in the parliament for more than a year.
The law, intended to share oil and gas resources among Shias, Sunnis, and Kurds, has been stuck due to dispute between the Kurds and the central government over who has the final say in managing oil and gas fields.
The U.S. is seeking to have the oil and gas law passed through bribing or intimidating the lawmakers, an Iraqi MP is now claiming

I know that, I was snarking. But I do agree with another poster. If the US has anything to do with these schools other than just building the building, I doubt that many parents are going to send their kids there.
January 30th, 2008 at 9:33 amBTW, anyone know what is going on here at TP? This place was relatively troll-free yesterday and TP finally got around to solving the plunger problem.

That doesn’t surprise me a bit. When being a bully doesn’t work, bribery is always a good fall-back position. We are bribing the sheiks not to kill our soldiers, so bribing the Iraqi big wigs to get the oil law passed isn’t much of a stretch.
The thing this poster failed to mention was that the oil law doesn’t just divide the oil profits amongst the various factions in Iraq, it also divvies it up with US and British oil companies. That is why we are there.

Well that is simply outrageous, unbelievable, and an insult to anyone with any sense of ethical responsibility.
I mean $5 million? That’s absurd. I can’t picture any Iraqi lawmaker being bought out by the oil companies for less than $8.5 million.

Another thing. I would be willing to bet the farm that if the Iraqi’s were bribed into passing the law giving US oil companies 70% of Iraq’s oil profits for 30 years, that Bush would start bringing our troops home quicker than the blink of an eye. He would leave enough troops there to guard “American interests” in Iraq, but the remainder would come home. He isn’t in the least bit concerned with helping guard the Iraqi people or helping political reconciliation. Give him the oil he came there to steal and he will pack our bags and bring us home forth with.
Every time I hear anyone talk about “American ineterests in Iraq”, especially Democrats, I get really angry. WE HAVE NO INTERESTS IN IRAQ. The only way we can have interests in Iraq is to steal them from them.
January 30th, 2008 at 9:44 amThe New IAEA regulations should keep newcomers away from producing their own enriched uranium. The US, UK, France, Germany, Russia, China and Japan will become the world’s nuclear filling stations. Under the auspices of the IAEA these suppliers will dictate the rules, the prices and the currencies they want to get paid in. Iran has become the pretext and test case for their plans. The problems of tomorrow’s world economy are being shaped today.
we now have an anti-Iranian alliance of the US and E3. They smell the opportunity for a coup to seize world’s nuclear fuel market. To succeed, they would just need some legal sauce on the prohibition of uranium enrichment by non-nuclear-weapon states, with Iran as example. And a UN Security Council resolution would be enough, if it legalizes IAEA’s stand that it can forbid countries to enrich uranium.
Of course, they would make it impossible for Iran to stay within the Non-Proliferation Treaty then. To succeed their coup, they will have to take care, that Iran does not leave the organization before a resolution is successfully voted. For if so, there would not be any ground for a resolution anymore.

I think I know where the trolls were yesterday. A suuccessful grassroots initiative has made it possible for citizens of Brattleboro, VT to vote on whether Bush/Cheney should be charged with war crimes. This vote is all but completely symbolic, but Drudge and the RNC have sent all their attack dogs out to flood the local gov’t with e-mails, nasty phone calls and hate letters. “We’re getting e-mails and phone calls, nasty, nasty e-mails, I’ve only a gotten a few,” said the Town Clerk Annette Cappy. “You couldn’t repeat most of those calls, they are nasty and nasty.”
Many of the e-mails used epithets such as “jackasses, moonbeams, looney tunes, stupid and “moonbats.”
Sounds like some people we know all too well.

Quotable quotes from another time another place:
On closer inspection the favored Conservative scenario for torture reveals a curious conclusion. It begins: suppose we knew for certain that a certain man knows exactly where a nuclear weapon is and we also know for certain that torturing the man would reveal the information in time for us to disarm the bomb. For certain.
Interesting scenario. Very instructive. Let us tweak the scenario a bit. Suppose you hit the terror cell that planted the bomb and everyone was dead except for one small, female child. The child is a true believer who is quite certain that you are an infidel. As I understand Conservative logic, most Conservatives would torture the child.
Finally, let us note in passing that if you want torture you must vote for conservatives in both the congress and for the presidency. Only conservatives are soothed to sleep by the screams of the damned. It probably reminds them of where they will spend eternity. No liberal or progressive will torture people. Only conservatives enjoy inflicting pain and suffering on their fellow human beings—and lying about it.

It went on to say terrorists could kidnap the three Select Board members who voted in favor, “cut their heads off, video tape it and put it on the internet.”
Caflisch, who confirmed sending the e-mail, said Tuesday he did it out of disgust after reading about the measure on The Drudge Report.

Comment by Fred — January 30, 2008 @ 10:24 am
What’s so nice about this scenario is the qualifiers: we know for certain that this man knows the information, and that torture will get the man to reveal this information.
Fact is, we don’t. Terror cells like the ones used by al-Qa’ida are organized so that no one individual knows all the information about an operation. Most just get one small piece of information needed to do their specific job, and that’s it.
And torture will not get someoe to reveal the truth. It will only get him to reveal what they think the torturers want to hear so they’ll stop torturing him. If the person being tortured thinks the torturers want to hear that there’s a bomb at Grand Central Station that will go off at 9:11 am tomorrow morning, that’s what he’ll say.

The George W. Bush Foundation wants to prevent the vote because it fears the outcome. It appears that the Bush Foundation has no respect for the laws and procedures of the president’s own denomination.”
