Eight days after Wilson went public with his claims, Plame's identity as a CIA officer appeared in Novak's column. difficult for Libby to claim forgetfulness. "You have the vice president cutting out a section of the newspaper, circling it and saying, 'Let's find out about this.' You don't rise to the level of being the vice president's chief of staff by letting that kind of thing slip your mind." At Libby Trial, Power Players Face Uncomfortable Spotlight By Carol D. Leonnig When Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff goes on trial Tuesday on charges of lying about the disclosure of a CIA officer's identity, members of Washington's government and media elite will be answering some embarrassing questions as well. I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby's case will put on display the secret strategizing of an administration that cherry-picked information to justify war in Iraq and reporters who traded freely in gossip and protected their own interests as they worked on one of the big Washington stories of 2003.

Here in Olievenhoutbosch -- despite its bucolic name, meaning "olive tree grove," it is little more than a trading post amid the grassy sprawl of shantytowns and suburbs between Johannesburg and Pretoria -- the attackers were either luckier or more skilled than most. Criminals are perhaps the most creative type of species you can find," said Johan Burger, a crime researcher at the Pretoria office of the Institute for Security Studies. "It is amazing how they keep finding ways to overcome obstacles." In S. Africa, Cash Machines Prove a Big Hit With Bombers By Craig Timberg OLIEVENHOUTBOSCH, South Africa -- Hours before dawn on the last day of 2006, a gray van pulled up to the ATM housed in a steel shed just outside T.P.T. Supermarket in this run-down township. The store's security guard, posted about 30 feet away, said he saw four hooded men jump out of the van, stuff something into the front of the cash machine, then run away. The blast that followed was so strong it jolted people awake in nearby homes, witnesses said. But before anyone could alert the police, the hooded men rushed back and pulled from the smoldering remains a box the size of a small file cabinet. Together they hoisted it into the van and sped off.

After Coltrane’s death from liver cancer in 1967, Ms. Coltrane took a vow of celibacy. And at first she made music closely related to his, often reflective, minor and modal; on piano or harp she played flowing, harplike phrases over a deep midtempo swing, and she worked with the bassist Jimmy Garrison and the drummer Rashied Ali from John Coltrane’s band.

The lesson of the savings and loan scandal was that when a bank has failed, you shouldn’t let the owner string you along with promises — you should shut the thing down. We should do the same with Mr. Bush’s failed war. Mr. Bush calls his critics “irresponsible,” saying that they don’t have an alternative to his strategy. But they do: setting a timetable for withdrawal, so that we can cut our losses, and trying to save what can be saved. It isn’t a strategy for victory because that’s no longer an option. It’s a strategy for acknowledging reality.

Paul Craig Roberts: "Bush Must Go" (COUNTERPUNCH)
TO: Distinguished Recipients FM: John Whitbeck Transmitted below is today's brutally honest analysis from Paul Craig Roberts, who is unlikely to be returning to his prior job at the Wall Street Journal editorial page. If his continuing warnings about the coming attack on Iran are repetitive, they deserve to be repeated, because the situation is desperately serious. The 60-day time limit for Iran to suspend its uranium enrichment program set forth in the recent (rather feeble) UN Security Council resolution expires next month. Of course, Iran will not have suspended its program by then. Everything will then be in place, including a UN Resolution which, along with the "will of the international community", can be cited as having been "defied" at the same time that America's infinite "patience" can be cited as having been "exhausted". (All the diplomatic efforts of recent years in relation to Iran's "nuclear ambitions", to which the Europeans have incomprehensibly lent themselves and their prestige, have never been intended to succeed in accordance with their ostensible objective but, rather, to reach this point, at which their failure could be used by Israel and the United States as an excuse to justify and market war.)

Two Comments on Roberts piece on impeachment
Think about this re impeachment: if Bush is removed we get Cheney. That would be worse, so we'd have to impeach Cheney. His removal would make Nancy Pelosi president. Hey, there's an idea!

Henry Siegman's Review of Carter's book--The Nation-issue of 1/22/07
This is a long review, but very much worth reading. It's about more than the Carter book. Have you remarked that much of the best writing, the best commentary, on this issue is written by people who are Jews, proud of that, and not apologetic for presenting their views? This doesn't surprise me at all, because they of course have a much better understanding of the whole issue, the whole problem, than outsiders like many of the rest of us. Bob Keeley This article can be found on the web at ------------------------------ Hurricane Carter by HENRY SIEGMAN [from the January 22, 2007 issue] Former President Jimmy Carter's new book, /Palestine Peace Not ( Read more... ) |
