The first above is a quote that James Williamson attributes to Victor Hugo*. The second is abundantly documented in the ‘alternative media’. After 9/11 many families of the victims pushed for a public inquiry. The Bush administration tenaciously fought against it. One of the ‘Jersey Girls’, Kristen Breitweiser, trained and licensed to be a lawyer though she did not practice giving precedence to a career as a mother. She circulated a petition that she be part of the panel. The Bush administration was able to quash that. Now, on the eve of a contentious midterm election ABC plans to air a two part miniseries, “The Path to 9/11” that sources [Air America Radio] claim blames it all on Bill Clinton. The alleged source for this miniseries? – The Report of the 9/11 Commission. Here’s the thing. Some of the Commissioners question that the miniseries accurately reflects the Commission Report.
The miniseries is scheduled to air Sunday and Monday evenings. There are some people trying to prevent that and claims that ABC is doing a round of last minute editing. This morning a congressperson on the Rachel Madow show, said that ABC was spending $40 Million on this project and not selling any ads. [I’ll check the podcast.]
This is a very complex and evolving story. I’ll be updating throughtout the weekend.
*So far, I cannot confirm this.

Out of Iraq Caucus Press Conference, July 13, 2006. It is now day 25.
July 28, 2006
Dear Randy,
We have exciting news to share with you today! After being rebuffed in our numerous attempts to meet with Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki, including setting up “Camp Al-Maliki” across from the Iraqi Embassy and publishing an open letter to him in one of the largest Iraqi newspapers, we received an amazing invitation: Five members of the Iraqi Parliament who are working on a Reconciliation Plan to end the violence in their country contacted us. Moved by the commitment of the long-term fasters and dismayed by their prime ministers refusal to meet with us, these parliamentarians asked us to join them in Amman, Jordan next week to discuss their Reconciliation Plan, on condition that we break our long-term fast with them!

Code Pink cofounder Medea [Μήδεια] Benjamin interrupted the speech of Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki shouting from the House vistor’s gallery, “Iraqis want the troops to leave, bring them home now! Listen to the Iraqis!”. She was referring to an op-ed in the July 20 Washington Post by Iraqi national security adviser Mowaffak al-Rubaie, “The eventual removal of coalition troops from Iraqi streets will help the Iraqis, who now see foreign troops as occupiers rather than the liberators they were meant to be.” In the speech Benjamin interrupted, al-Maliki appealed for more money and troops clearly identifying Iraq as part of the war on terror. He made no mention of Hezbollah, Lebanon, or Israel. Benjamin, 54 of San Francisco, was lifted from her seat by officers and carried out.
You go, girl!

Dear Randy,
The Bush administration has repeatedly stated that when the Iraqis stand up, our soldiers will stand down. But when the Iraqi government and several armed groups tried to stand up by unveiling a serious reconciliation plan, the U.S. government scuttled this plan by forcing them to eliminate two key aspects of the original proposalthe withdrawal of U.S. troops and amnesty for Iraqis not involved in the killing of civilians. Click here to read more.
A courageous number of people, however, have decided to implement their own peace process: U.S. soldiers who are refusing to fight in this war. On Tuesday, CODEPINK participated in actions all over the country to support the first officer who refused to deploy to Iraq, Lt. Ehren Watada. “A war can end when the soldiers choose to stop fighting it,” Lt. Watada said when he announced his decision to resist. He is joined in his resistance by Army Specialist Suzanne Swift, who refused to deploy with her Army unit to Iraq; she is now being held in Ft. Lewis and needs our support. These two brave soldiers are joined by hundreds of U.S. military personnel who have gone to Canada to avoid being sent to Iraq, and over 6,400 U.S. military who have deserted their posts. Read Ann Wright’s article here.
Lt. Watadas mom, Carolyn Ho, wrote to CODEPINK, As a mother, I have evolved from fearing for his safety and for his future to the realization that there is a higher purpose to all that has transpired. My son no longer stands at the crossroads. He has chosen ‘the road less traveled’.
As part of that road less traveled, Lt. Watada and his mother have both decided to participate in the Troops Home Fast on July 4, and invite you to join them. The growing list of fasters includes Cindy Sheehan, Dick Gregory, Sean Penn, Susan Sarandon, Danny Glover, Graham Nash, Dolores Huerta, Julia Butterfly Hill and over 1,500 more. You can join us in DC or at home; you can fast for one day, one week or leave the process open-ended. Go to www.troopshomefast.org to learn, sign up, or donate funds to make this fast as effective as possible.
Lets stand up with those in the U.S. military who are taking peace into their own hands by refusing to fight. If enough of us stand up, the war-makers will be forced to stand down!
Standing tall,
Allison, Dana, Erin, Farida, Gael, Jodie, Katie, Medea, Meredith, Nancy, Rae, Samantha and Tiffany

On September 11, 2001 Vice President Cheney issued an order to shoot down any commercial airliner still in the air after the nationwide grounding. [The 911 Commission report suggests that that order was too late to be of any usefulness.] Recently on PBS, Frontline documented how Cheney pushed through the NeoCon “War on Terror” over the objections of CIA Director George Tenet.
Cursor.org linked reviews that accuse Frontline of overlooking CIA missteps and George Tenet’s own deportment. Frontline definitely mentioned both. Whether they gave them short shrift is a matter of judgement.
The program, which originally aired on Tuesday June 20, is still available online.

Last Night @ Kennedy School of Government
“>
Military Families Speak Out , Iraq Veterans Against the War , and Veterans for Peace
gathered outside Harvard’s John F. Kennedy School of Government last night in response to a guy named Kerry being invited inside. A particular favorite of mine is Greater Boston chapter of Vets for Peace called the Smedley Butler Brigade. Major General Butler was at the time of his death the most decorated U.S. Marine in history and possibly the first to describe the military-industrial complex in his 1935 book War is a Racket…
It always has been. It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most
vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits
are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives.
A racket is best described, I believe, as something that is not what it seems to the majority
of the people. Only a small “inside” group knows what it is about. It is conducted for the
benefit of the very few, at the expense of the very many. Out of war a few people make
huge fortunes.

“This is not the world we want for ourselves or our children. With fire in our bellies and love in our hearts, we women are rising up – across borders – to unite and demand an end to the bloodshed and the destruction.”
All gender invited.
Dear friends–
This week, in celebration of International Women’s Day, a courageous group of Iraqi women will converge in Washington DC to hold George Bush and Congress accountable for the chaos, the killing, the violence that is engulfing their nation. They represent Shias, Sunnis and Kurds, religious and secular women. They are united in their horror at the killings, their outrage at the Bush administration and U.S. elected officials, and their determination to stop the violence.
We can stand with them in solidarity by signing the Code Pink’s Urgent Call for Peace, at www.womensaynotowar.org. On March 8 the signatures are to be delivered to officials in Washington DC and to U.S. embassies worldwide. The full text of the statement can be found at www.womensaynotowar.org. Nationals of any country are welcome to sign. The campaign is not limited to women. You and everyone you know is invited.
As the organizers of this action say, “This is not the world we want for ourselves or our children. With fire in our bellies and love in our hearts, we women are rising up – across borders – to unite and demand an end to the bloodshed and the destruction.”

Nothing new from the Mainstream Media. I had
hoped for something from the blogosphere,
but alas only this one post from the Right Truth
with a belated rehash of mainstream reportage.
I question Minister Jabr’s identification of the
kidnappers. The demand for the release of a
small number of women detainees is much more
focussed and limited in scope than any other
demand from Iraqi insurgent groups. It seems like
a different group. And Mr. Jabr certainly has a
personal stake in the matter. Regardless of who
is holding her, it would not serve their interests
to kill her and keep it a secret. I may not agree
with Mr. Jabr about who is holding her but
I agree with his conclusion. She is alive. |

As Dan Kennedy pointed out some days ago in his blog Media Nation, the mainstream media cannot appear overlyself-absorbed. Presumably that partially explains the silence leading up to the Feb. 26 deadline. Also, the U.S. Government probably convinced the media that attention would jeopordize attempts to rescue her. I think the reverse is true, which is why I flapped about it. I know I am but a butterfly in the winds of the world wide web, but the web is a complex nonlinear system. It probably has directions in which it has sensitive dependence on initial conditions. A butterfly flapping his wings in one place can cause a typhon on the other side of the world.
There was some mainstream coverage around the time of the deadline and the blogosphere essentially followed suit. The silence returned. There is a problem of fatigue. How many ‘no news’ news bits are people willing to read? Even the guy by the door has to worry about that.
Perhaps the techtopian dream of ordinary people all over the world breaking down the barriers of space, time, censorship, and hatred has not been realized in Iraq well enough to help Jill. Or perhaps it’s unreasonable to try to create a typhon in place where there is one already going on.Apparently the previously reported detente between the Sunni’s and the Shia was a mere flash in the pan. TV coverage on one of the Boston channels compared an early video tape of Jill with the last one received. I agree with their male terrorism expert. She did appear frightened to distraction in the early tape and calm and resolute in the latter. He opined that she is her own best instrument of survival. This may be self-serving for those who won’t dothe right thing to save her. It may be self-serving for those of us who have run out of improbable ideas to help her. But it is probably true.

Several sources cite midnight as the deadline set by Jill’s kidnappers. I have lost track of which ones. I’m not totally sure that midnight Feb. 26 doesn’t mean 11 hours and 59 minutes ago. Or does it mean a minute from now?
Of course, if you are into pinpoint timing, you would include how long it takes a busy server to process requests.

I got distracted and lost track of the time. The sun went down in Iraq perhaps four or five hours ago.
Editor and Publisher has posted about the so far fruitless attempts to rescue Jill. To readers of Al Jazeera and ‘the guy by the door’ this is not news. Musafir picked up on the Monitor’s coverage of Allan Enwiya, the Iraqi interpreter [2nd story down] killed when Jill was abducted. Musafir adds background from Riverbend’s Baghdad Burning. Riverbend knew Allan and fondly remembers him in his January 12 post Thank You for the Music... It seems Allan loved his wife, his young children, his community and Pink Floyd.

It is already past noon. The net is quiet of new news about Jill. Someone at the Boston office of AP has not forgotten Jill. TV outlets around the country are running this fairly bald release. Two US soldiers died overnight. Five Iraqi’s died this morning. It is an ordinary day in Iraq.
At least, so it appeared when I first posted. It looks like the Sunni-Shia accord reached last night, either is not very far reaching or has not reached the streets yet. But Jill is mentioned:
“Our forces raided some suspected places, but she was not there,” said Maj. Falah
al-Mohammedawi, an official at the Interior Ministry. “We are watching the situation
closely.”
I suppose I believe that they are making some effort. It would be quite a feather in their cap, if they could recover her. But it seems far less likely than negotiating.
I wonder what today is like for Jim and Katie Carroll .
And for Jill.

Dear Joe,
Since it took me 16 years to learn your name, I guess I shouldn’t be suprised. I took a quick look at Juan Cole’s Blog. I couldn’t find the article I read last summer, about the time I read Scott Ritter’s article about U.S. overflights of Iran. It would have made more sense for you just to explain it to me. I speak only English. I only know that you speak more languages than me. I couldn’t stay. I had to get back to guard the library, but I was a little presumptuous. I’m sorry.

The only face I recognized in the crowd at the Revolution was a young woman organizer from SEIU, none of her friends who call me[everything up to] counter-revolutionary were there [and yet they use him as an example when it is convenient.] She told me her union had told her not to get involved with other unions. I was not fooled. I knew she had.
I later learned that a Latino from the Harvard Initiative for Peace and Justice was there. We met at another Bolivarian meeting. We went to Au Bon Pain and talked things over. We agreed on a lot. “Idealogical groups,” he said, “often don’t really put priority on ideology. It’s really about ‘the group’.”Among the 2/3 of HUCTW members that do not vote, there are quite a few who agree with us two. I know them. I know one that belongs to a collective that puts out a left economics magazine. Their stuff is much more useful than the tabloids. The Solidarity Game is nasty, nasty, nasty. You think the Powers That Be don’t know? They know they are a small minority.That’s their goal! [Sadly, it seems to be the goal of some reform groups too. I polled better than most of them 🙂 ] They know they are still in power. I mean this on all levels, not just HUCTW. They ARE afraid, but seeing you play the game by the same rulesputs them at ease.
