Bush Seeks to Restore Tattered U.S. Image With Heavy '08 Travel

Edwin Chen Mon Dec 24, 12:03 AM ET

Dec. 24 (Bloomberg) -- President George W. Bush's diplomatic passport will acquire a slew of new country stamps during his final year in office as he tries to rebuild the U.S.'s international standing and create a foreign-policy legacy beyond Iraq.

The president plans trips to the Middle East, Africa, Asia and South America, which would make 2008 his busiest year abroad. While his major domestic initiatives may get stalled by a Democratic majority in Congress and the gridlock caused by election-year politics, he still has an opportunity to exert his influence overseas.

``When it comes to foreign policy, he's not a lame duck; he can do a lot,'' said Richard Haass, president of the Council on Foreign Relations, who served as director of policy planning at the State Department until June 2003.

Bush, 61, came into the White House promising a humble foreign policy and eschewing nation-building and foreign entanglements. That changed after the Sept. 11 attacks, when he adopted a style supporters hail as visionary and critics call cowboy diplomacy.

While the president will strive to strengthen alliances, it won't come at the expense of continuing to prosecute the war on terror, said Jim Jeffrey, the deputy White House national security adviser.

``We want to be well-perceived in the world,'' Jeffrey said in an interview. ``But more importantly, we want to formulate policies that will protect the American people.''

Travel Itinerary

In early January, Bush flies to Israel for his first visit as president. While in the region, he also will visit the West Bank, Kuwait, Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Egypt. The trip is a follow-up to the Israeli-Palestinian talks that the U.S. hosted in Annapolis, Maryland , last month.

In February, Bush will tour Africa, where U.S. public health initiatives are popular. That will be followed by an April North Atlantic Treaty Organization summit in Romania, a June U.S.-European summit in Slovenia, a July meeting of Group of Eight leaders in Japan, the summer Olympics in China and a November Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum in Peru. Bush is likely to visit other, nearby countries during those trips.

Many presidents focus on international affairs in their final year as a way to compensate for their waning influence at home. For Bush, it's unlikely to provide an escape.

``Bush also has problems at home, but he has even bigger problems with the rest of the world,'' said Andy Kohut, president the Pew Research Center in Washington.

Attitudes Overseas

A Pew study of public opinion in 47 nations found ``extensive'' anti-Americanism and ``increasing disapproval'' of the cornerstones of U.S. foreign policy.

A perception that Washington acts unilaterally was shared by 89 percent of the French, 83 percent of Canadians and 74 percent of Britons. America's image in most Muslim nations is ``abysmal,'' Pew said.

The exception, Pew found, is Africa, where the U.S. image remains positive, especially in Ethiopia and Kenya.

Given such results, ``going around the world won't make things necessarily worse'' because ``it's difficult to see how they could be any worse,'' said Ivo Daalder, a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and former national security council aide in the Clinton administration.

Bush will have considerable U.S. public support for trying to improve the nation's image abroad, according to Joseph Nye, a political scientist at Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, who co-chaired a study of U.S. foreign policy in November.

`Unbalanced'

``There's a thirst in the country to restore America's standing in the world, a feeling that we've been unbalanced in our approach,'' Nye said.

The report of the commission headed by Nye and Richard Armitage, a former deputy secretary of state under Bush, said the U.S. must reinvigorate multilateral alliances and abandon its post-Sept. 11 ``angry face.''

Democrats long have criticized Bush's doctrine of pre- emptive war to prevent terrorist attacks and the rhetoric he used to confront adversaries such as Iran. Some of the president's fellow Republicans have started to call for a reversal as well.

Former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee, 52, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, wrote in the January/February edition of the journal Foreign Affairs that the administration's ``arrogant bunker mentality has been counterproductive at home and abroad.''

Jeffrey rejected the idea that Bush acts unilaterally, citing the multilateral talks with Iran and North Korea.

Coalitions

``The model is multilateral: Form a coalition of countries,'' Jeffrey said. ``This is what people accuse us of not doing. We're doing it all over the world.''

As Bush engages in global diplomacy between now and Jan. 20, 2009, he and his counterparts will be doing ``a very fine calculation,'' said Jim Steinberg, dean of the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas in Austin, who served as former President Bill Clinton's deputy national security adviser.

He said some world leaders will prefer to deal with Bush rather than his successor, who will be an unknown quantity. Others, he said, will wait to deal with the next president, setting up ``an interesting dynamic at the end of an administration.''

Republitards and their culture of life?????????????????????

Shit I'm SICK of...and need to CROAK!

1) Right wing sack of shit no life dildos who have no life and/or are paid by right wing "think" tanks (talk about a CONTRADICTION!) to spend their shitty lives A) harassing left wing /progressive bloggers and/or yahoogroups, B) call left wing /progressive radio show in a miserable pathetic attempt to mislead and/or argue and/or harass the host(s), C) "freeping" polls! And y'all keep clinging to your worn-out piss-poor claim that the LEFT "has no new ideas"?!?!?! HAHAHAHA! Oh just sit on THAT one, and rotate on it, ok?!

2) This SUPPOSED right wing "culture of life"! Oh fuck you! Culture of fucking LIFE?! So, you flip out and go gorilla-dick when a woman aborts 512 cells, which you claim is a LIFE FORM that can SOMEHOW survive outside the womb, yet you could not give a tinkers damn about FULLY DEVELOPED CHILDREN WHO ARE POST-WOMB, AND NEED A HOME. So shit-can that shit and GIVE IT UP! Game, set, match, YOU FUCKING LOSE!
And cut the shit out in Congo, Sudan, etc. ok?! Oh yeah, and you cocksuckers in Saudi Arabia as well. CUT THE SHIT EVERYWHERE. Try the Rodney King SIMPLE approach:
CAN'T WE ALL JUST GET ALONG?!
If it sounds to hard of a concept, just stop, take a DEEEEEEP breath, and keep re-reading my previous sentence UNTIL IT FUCKING SINKS IN! Deal?! Good!

3) The fact that it is 2007, nearly 2008, and we, as advanced as we are, are still using GASOLINE and COAL, and NUK-U-LUR (as BU$Hitler would say) as our PRIMARY sources of energy. I shit you not, I said to someone recently "Why can't we just have solar powered cars?!" and they replied "How would it work at NIGHT?!" No. I am NOT making this shit up! *LONG HARD SIGH.* Ok, let's take a trip back in time, shall we?! It's been PROVEN, that ancient Egyptians, as long ago as OH A FEW THOUSAND YEARS ago, had this thing called BATTERIES. And now-a-days, they are RE-CHARGEABLE! Again, stop, take a deeeeep breath, think about it. I remember re-chargeable batteries from WHEN I WAS A KID. And, yes, this technology is simply applied to the energy that is generated from...SOLAR POWER!!! Oh yeah, and what about WIND TURBINES?!?!?!? Stop. Take your time! And too bad if I say back to ya NO DUH FUCKER!

4) People who sell out. Phil Hendrie. Dennis Miller.
Just sell out. Take the money. Run. Fuck it! Right?! Cute?! No...pathetic. Shows that YOU have NO spine. No principles. NOTHING.
This also applies to far too many people who I have had the misfortune of crossing paths with.
And the stupidity, cowardly gall, and lack of real self-esteem, is YOUR fucking problem to deal with, NOT mine. Why people have to go out like that, I have no idea. It consistently FAILS; it NEVER works! So see ya ho!

No DUH! Fucker!

I'm jacking this from my reggin TTB! Check him out: http://TrashTalkingBastard.blogspot.com

Retired Lt. Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, coalition commander in 2003 and 2004, called the Iraq war "a nightmare with no end in sight," for which he said the Bush administration, the State Department and Congress all share blame.

Sanchez told a group of military reporters in Arlington, Virginia, on Friday that such dereliction of duty by a military officer would mean immediate dismissal or court martial, but the politicians have not been held accountable.

He said the Iraq war plan from the start was "catastrophically flawed, unrealistically optimistic," and the administration has not provided the resources necessary for victory, which he said the military could never achieve on its own.
Still, he said, the U.S. cannot pull out of Iraq without causing chaos that would have global implications.

"After more than four years of fighting, America continues its desperate struggle in Iraq without any concerted effort to devise a strategy that will achieve victory in that war torn country or in the greater conflict against extremism," Sanchez said.
Sanchez pointed to what he said was "neglect and incompetence at the National Security Council level" which has put the U.S. military into "an intractable situation" in Iraq.
------------------------------------------

You have to be kidding me. You mean the war is sponsored by political greed and incompetence?! REALLY?!!!


You you know what Sanchez. I am sick and fucking tired of retired generals who said "NOTHING" but support this president's efforts for war in Iraq. Now talk shit once they are off the payroll. Stop blaming others fucker! BLAME YOURSELF! You not only answer to the commander and chief. You also are accountable to the people you are paid to protect.........the American People!


You could have expressed your opinion while you were running the war. But you just sat there and let our soldier's die so that you could keep your job! And now your conscience was killing you at night. And now you want to come clean?. You are the worse kind of scum! You should apologize for all the lives you have placed in harm during your tenure!


So NO! I do not respect the fact that your lying ass has come clean. And NO! Like Patreas, Rummy, and Bush. You ALL should be placed under arrest and brought up on war crime charges! You dishonored this country and your ranking as a so called general should be stripped!


You sack of shit! You disgust me!


I'm outta here!

Answer: This Jeopardy host had one today.

Question: What is a heart attack, Alex?! Alex?! ALEX?! YO, DUDE, YOU NEED ME TO CALL 911 OR SOMETHING?! ALEX?!?!? Aw shit...

Sorry, but some times, it's just too easy, and I can't resist!

Today's headlines/articles from Randi's site

- CACI v Randi Rhodes – Randi’s victorious decision

- Watch and enjoy Randi's "We Believe" speech given at The 50th Anniversary Celebration of Peace Action of Michigan, November 11th, 2007.






HOUR THREE GUEST: Founder of BERG Associates, an international business-consulting firm based in Washington, D.C. that specializes in counter terrorism and money laundering investigations and former CIA agent, Larry Johnson.

CIA INTERROGATION TAPES:
Charles Rosenberg, the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia, says that 2 CIA Interrogation tapes still exist.

Former CIA Agent Larry Johnson wrote: What Destroyed Torture Tapes? How can videotape be viewed in 2007 if it was supposed to be destroyed back in 2005?

Apparently the torture tapes that the CIA viewed in 2007 were foreign intelligence interrogation tapes.

Lawyers within the CIA gave written permission to destroy the tapes back in 2005.

If the tapes were not destroyed, what would they have shown?

CIA Director Michael Hayden will testify before Congress today about the destroyed CIA torture tapes.

Why is it that some news organizations won’t call it “torture”?

Leaders of the House and Senate intelligence committees knew of what went on during the CIA interrogations, but didn’t object at the time.

From Jonathan Turley: CIA Interrogation Tapes: “Bad” is Hardly the Word — Call it Criminal

WHAT IS TORTURE UNDER US LAW AND TREATIES?
As of 2004, they were our legal standards. Word search this document for Hilao v. Estate of Marcos and you'll clearly see waterboarding described as torture.

At a speaking engagement Condi Rice refused to answer questions about whether she knew or did not know about the CIA interrogation videotapes.

Senator Russ Feingold (D-WI) wrote a letter to AG Michael Mukasey requesting that he answer the questions he dodged during his confirmation hearings about whether waterboarding is torture.

“The Bush Administration's Torture of U.S. Citizen Jose Padilla” by Glenn Greenwald.

TORTURE:
Former CIA agent John Kiriakou talks about waterboarding high-ranking al-Qaeda member abu Zubaida. Kiriakou said abu Zubaida broke in less than a minute and started giving information that led to the disruption of several planned attacks.

John Kiriakou called waterboarding necessary, but torture! Kiriakou also said that they carried out torture because the White House told them to.

Morris Davis, the former chief prosecutor for the Office of Military Commissions at Gitmo, talks about why he resigned saying he felt that the system had become deeply politicized and that he could no longer do his job effectively or responsibly.

MORE COVER-UPS!
A former Halliburton/KBR employee says she was gang-raped by Halliburton/KBR coworkers in Baghdad. She reported the incident and the company put her under guard in a shipping container, warning her that if she left Iraq for medical treatment, she'd be out of a job. She has filed a lawsuit saying the gang-rape is being covered up by Halliburton/KBR and the government.

RANDI’S CONGRESSMAN:
After a recent email poll of about 3000 constituents in the Palm Beach-Broward district, Rep. Robert Wexler is urging hearings on the impeachment of VP Dick Cheney. The email poll results said that 61% of the people want to impeach Dick and remove him from office.

MIKE HUCKABEE:
Mike Huckabee is refusing to retract comments made back in ’92 saying that people with AIDS should be isolated because they are carriers of a plague.

Jeanne White-Ginder, the mother of an Indiana teenager who lost his battle with AIDS back in the late 1980’s, wants to have a word with Huckabee on his comments.

There are new documents that show Mike Huckabee’s support in freeing a rapist…who was released and went on to rape and murder 2 other women.

OPRAH – OBAMAPALOOZA:
Oprah is totally behind her good friend Barack Obama saying, “I think that what he stands for, what he has proven that he can stand for, what he has shown was worth me going out on a limb for – and I haven’t done it in the past because I haven’t felt that anybody, I didn’t know anybody well enough to be able to say, I believe in this person.”

Why is Oprah giving Barack Obama political leeway?

THE OCCUPATION:
House Appropriations Committee Chairman David Obey (D-Wis.) said that the GOP is negotiating in bad faith, as a Democratic deal for additional war funding seems to be collapsing. Obey said "If anybody thinks we can get out of here this week, they're smoking something illegal”.

Bill Clinton told the CBS Early Show that the US did not give United Nations weapons inspectors enough time to complete their work in Iraq.

Too much, too late? The military is saying that due to improving security in Iraq, it may not need all 10,000 MRAP vehicles it originally ordered.

The military pays for vacation and recreation programs for returning soldiers with revenue from the military’s own slot machines and bingo games.

The Biden-Brownback nonbonding Iraq measure that supports the split of Iraq into federal regions is headed for Congressional approval. The amendment was tacked onto the Senate’s Department of Defense authorization bill.

IRAN:
An overseas Iranian opposition group is claiming that Iran restarted its nuclear program a year after shutting it down.

AL GORE:
Former VP Al Gore repeated yesterday that he has no plan on getting involved in this ’08 Presidential election and would not be interested in serving in any upcoming administration. He did say though that the only way he would return was to take a run at the White House.

SCOOTER:
Scooter Libby dropped his appeal in the Valerie Plame Wilson / CIA leak case.

Husband of Valerie Plame Wilson, Ambassador Joseph Wilson, released a statement regarding Scooter’s dropping of his appeal.

THE ’08 CANDIDATES:
Republican voters across the country appear to be uninspired by the field of GOP candidates.

The surging Mike Huckabee finds himself only 2% points behind front-runner Rudy Giuliani in a national poll released yesterday.

Hillary Clinton’s camp is digging for dirt on Barack Obama.

SIDEBARS:
The high court rules that Federal Judges can ignore sentencing guidelines and impose what they think are reasonable sentences.

QB Michael Vick is sentenced to 23 months for financing a dog-fighting ring.

The cause of death for Quiet Riot lead singer Kevin DuBrow has been determined to be an accidental overdose of cocaine.

Five members of the town of Potrero, CA’s planning group are expected to lose their posts in a recall election over their approval of a Blackwater training camp near the town.

These stories, your calls and much more on today’s Randi Rhodes Show!

"Father of Reaganomics" Predicts Police State in 08?

From the NO SHIT SHERLOCK file:

http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=d4d_1195005274&p=1

Paul Craig Roberts, a Republican who worked in the Reagan administration, is predicting a 9-11 type of attack before the 2008 elections. If that occurs, Bush can declare martial law and begin arresting those who disagree with his foreign policy (based on Executive Orders recently issued by the Bush Administration that grant the president these powers and more.) Wild stuff. Paul Craig Roberts is an economist and a nationally syndicated columnist for Creators Syndicate. He served as an Assistant Secretary of the Treasury in the Reagan Administration earning fame as the "Father of Reaganomics". He is a former editor and columnist for the Wall Street Journal, Business Week, and Scripps Howard News Service. He is a graduate of the Georgia Institute of Technology and he holds a Ph.D. from the University of Virginia. He was a post-graduate at the University of California, Berkeley, and Oxford University where he was a member of Merton College. In 1992 he received the Warren Brookes Award for Excellence in Journalism. In 1993 the Forbes Media Guide ranked him as one of the top seven journalists in the United States.

To establish the National Commission on the Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism, and for other purposes.

IN THE SENATE OF THE UNITED STATES

August 2, 2007

Ms. COLLINS (for herself and Mr. COLEMAN) introduced the following bill; which was read twice and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs

---

A BILL

To establish the National Commission on the Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism, and for other purposes.

Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

This Act may be cited as the `Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007'.

SEC. 2. PREVENTION OF VIOLENT RADICALIZATION AND HOMEGROWN TERRORISM.

(a) In General- Title VIII of the Homeland Security Act of 2002 (6 U.S.C. 361 et seq.) is amended by adding at the end the following:

`Subtitle J--Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism

`SEC. 899A. DEFINITIONS.

`In this subtitle:
`(1) COMMISSION- The term `Commission' means the National Commission on the Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism established under section 899C.
`(2) VIOLENT RADICALIZATION- The term `violent radicalization' means the process of adopting or promoting an extremist belief system for the purpose of facilitating ideologically based violence to advance political, religious, or social change.
`(3) HOMEGROWN TERRORISM- The term `homegrown terrorism' means the use, planned use, or threatened use, of force or violence by a group or individual born, raised, or based and operating primarily within the United States or any possession of the United States to intimidate or coerce the United States government, the civilian population of the United States, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives.
`(4) IDEOLOGICALLY BASED VIOLENCE- The term `ideologically based violence' means the use, planned use, or threatened use of force or violence by a group or individual to promote the group or individual's political, religious, or social beliefs.

`SEC. 899B. FINDINGS.

`The Congress finds the following:
`(1) The development and implementation of methods and processes that can be used to prevent violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence in the United States is critical to combating domestic terrorism.
`(2) The promotion of violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence exists in the United States and poses a threat to homeland security.
`(3) The Internet has aided in facilitating violent radicalization, ideologically based violence, and the homegrown terrorism process in the United States by providing access to broad and constant streams of terrorist-related propaganda to United States citizens.
`(4) While the United States must continue its vigilant efforts to combat international terrorism, it must also strengthen efforts to combat the threat posed by homegrown terrorists based and operating within the United States.
`(5) Understanding the motivational factors that lead to violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence is a vital step toward eradicating these threats in the United States.
`(6) The potential rise of self radicalized, unaffiliated terrorists domestically cannot be easily prevented through traditional Federal intelligence or law enforcement efforts, and requires the incorporation of State and local solutions.
`(7) Individuals prone to violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence span all races, ethnicities, and religious beliefs, and individuals should not be targeted based solely on race, ethnicity, or religion.
`(8) Any measure taken to prevent violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence and homegrown terrorism in the United States should not violate the constitutional rights, civil rights, or civil liberties of United States citizens and lawful permanent residents.
`(9) Certain governments, including the Government of the United Kingdom, the Government of Canada, and the Government of Australia have significant experience with homegrown terrorism and the United States can benefit from lessons learned by those nations.

`SEC. 899C. NATIONAL COMMISSION ON THE PREVENTION OF VIOLENT RADICALIZATION AND IDEOLOGICALLY BASED VIOLENCE.

`(a) Establishment- There is established within the legislative branch of the Government the National Commission on the Prevention of Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism.
`(b) Purpose- The purposes of the Commission are the following:
`(1) Examine and report upon the facts and causes of violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence in the United States, including United States connections to non-United States persons and networks, violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence in prison, individual or `lone wolf' violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence, and other faces of the phenomena of violent radicalization, homegrown terrorism, and ideologically based violence that the Commission considers important.
`(2) The Commission shall, in cooperation with the Department, the Department of State, and other Federal departments and agencies, as appropriate, conduct a survey of methodologies implemented by foreign nations to prevent violent radicalization and homegrown terrorism in their respective nations.

'Eco-terrorism': House and Senate pass bill aimed at further criminalizing animal-rights actions

Hope you weren't planning a protest

Posted by Todd Hymas Samkara at 3:43 PM on 15 Nov 2006

Tools: print | email | + digg | + del.icio.us | + reddit | + stumbleupon

If there's one creature that animal-rights activists should not try to save (and should instead attempt to quietly euthanize), it's a lame duck.

The House of Representatives on Monday passed the Animal Enterprise Terrorism Act, extending current federal law to specifically criminalize not only interfering with "animal enterprises" -- a commercial or academic enterprise that uses or sells animals or animal products for profit, food or fiber production, agriculture, research, or testing -- but also interfering with organizations that do business with "animal enterprises," such as their lawyers or insurance companies.

As AP says:

Violators could be sentenced up to a year in jail for economic damages of less than $10,000, and up to five years in prison if a threat produced a "reasonable fear" of bodily harm. Prison sentences of up to 10 years could result if someone is actually injured.

And while AP goes on to say that "the bill specifically condones peaceful animal rights protests," a look at the bill itself (see: HR 4239) reveals much muddier language. Instead it would allow "lawful economic disruption that results from lawful public, governmental, or business reaction to the disclosure of information about an animal enterprise," which could reasonably be interpreted to mean things like distributing information.

Sounds OK; organizations can post information about animal-rights abuses on their websites. Awesome. But even passing out leaflets while on an animal enterprise's property could be deemed "unlawful" if they don't want you there, leaving open the possibility of being prosecuted under this law for peaceful activity.

Similar scenarios would also likely be included in this broad bill: sit-ins on company property, as these too would likely be deemed illegal due to the whole trespassing issue.

So peaceful, it seems, has nothing to do with it.

Since a version of this crazy-ass bill has already been given the go-ahead by the Senate, the bill has been passed on to President Bush. Any veto predictions?

I reject your reality and substitute my own!

THE CANDIDATES: PLAYING DIRTY?
Does Hillary have something major on Obama… or is Robert Novak trying to stir the pot? Here is Novak’s piece, “Hillary vs Obama”.

Did CNN rig the Dem debate last Thursday? Some evidence is emerging that all the questions were asked by PLANTS.

Presidential long-shot Mike Huckabee’s new ad featuring Chuck Norris.

Our good friend Brent Budowsky wrote in The Hill, “The Clinton News Network Holds a Vladimir Putin Debate”.

Karl Rove's debut article in Newsweek, "How To Beat Hillary (Next) Novemver".

THE OCCUPATION:
The US military released data yesterday showing that the weekly number of attacks in Iraq had fallen to its lowest level since Jan. ’06. It’s the 3^rd week in a row where attacks were at a reduced level.

2 Iraqi civilians were killed yesterday when US military opened fire on a car. A Shi'ite official said it was "barbaric, brutal and illegal". US officials said that an incident happened but would hot comment further.

The $50 billion dollar war funding package was shot down by Senate Republicans on Friday. If passed, it would have required President Bush to start a phased redeployment of U.S. forces within 30 days of enactment. It fell 7 votes short of the 60 needed.

In his weekly radio address Bush attacked Congress for holding up funding for the war, saying Congress was “failing to meet its responsibilities to our troops.”

Presidential hopeful Joe Biden has a 5-point plan for bringing our troops home and not leaving chaos behind.

Democrats say they will not stop trying to end the war despite repeated failures in the Senate, where 60 votes are needed to overcome Republican procedural hurdles.

The tale of Buzzy and Cookie continues. Cookie’s lawyer asks that the brothers not be asked to testify about discrepancies in their versions of what Cookie knew about Buzzy, and when.

Buzzy resigns from Blackwater advisory board.

THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION:
The Bush administration hopes they have stopped their downward spiral, but Bush’s approval ratings remain at record lows.

And another one’s gone! Bush’s top aide for domestic security and counter-terror activities, Fran Townsend, resigns!

Puff pieces and softballs: Bush and the NY Times make for strange bedfellows.

SIDEBARS:
From Bill Moyers Journal, despite public opposition the Chairman of the FCC, Kevin Martin, is going to allow BIG media to swallow up MORE MEDIA. You have until December 11th to let the FCC, Congress, and the White House know what you think. Contact the FCC here.

Frank Rich’s column in the NY Times entitled, “What That Regan Woman Knows”.

Another award for Gore: He will be given the Founders Award at the International Emmys tonight.

Intelligence official: U.S. must redefine privacy --Residents [!] need to adjust to loss of anonymity, government leader says 11 Nov 2007 As Congress debates new rules for government eavesdropping, a top intelligence official says it is time that people in the United States changed their definition of privacy. Privacy no longer can mean anonymity, says Donald Kerr, the principal deputy director of national intelligence. Kerr’s comments come as Congress is taking a second look at the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. [I think not. We'll adjust the Bush dictatorship, instead. And, speaking of residents, the *resident* occupying the White House needs to be arrested and tried for treason. --LRP from LegitGov.org GREAT SITE!]
