Hey, what's Aaron Brown up to?

So what has Aaron Brown been up to since leaving CNN over six months ago? The Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel's Tim Cuprisin caught up with the ex-anchor and finds out that he has a lot to say, but really can't say anything because he still has another 18 months to go on his CNN contract.
"Because I have an employer, I can't do as much of it as I would like, and I can't always say everything I would like to. That's OK. I get their position."
Brown reveals he has been approached to do game shows, but he'd love to do an interview show. Something between what Larry King does and what Charlie Rose does. I can picture that.

Nancy Grace is retrying the Moussaui trial. She has no right except to support the decisions of the jury. She is making fools of the jury and making Moussaui a martyr. Do we need this? No !!
Nancy Grace has common sense above all other people and especially women. My, my.
Anderson, you're the control freak fall guy for the exploitation of the cable news of CNN while Nancy Grace tries to 'spin' the issue of justice By the People and For the People.

CNN has no respect for the American people or the USA Constitution. Grow up Nancy. I thought you were less the problem. I was wrong.

Nancy Grace is appauled at the cost of housing a world class terrorist. Is she appauled at Gitmo?
The Moussaoui can live in misery and welcome to it if that is what the jury of this case decided. Don't think for one minute the rest of the world isn't impressed. Most of countries of Europe don't have the death penalty. I don't want to hear how that is why the London Bombing happened. The London Bombing happened because George Walker Bush never took the assault against al Qaeda seriously and the mastermind of 911, Osama bin Laden is still on the lamb. Where is Nancy's Graces's critique of this administration and it's illegal war in Iraq. Why is Osama bin Laden STILL on the WANTED? Because Bush didn't listen to the CIA and FBI and the report "Osama bin Laden deteremined to strike the USA." Moussaoui was HANDLED by the FBI in this country. He was stopped. Bush should be able to say the same thing.
1023
"You are going to believe them?" The Federal Prosecutor had a lot more information than Nancy Grace. Too bad Nancy, you aren't 'in the security clearence loop' that the US Justice Department is. The 911 families made their wishes known. Nancy Grace, being the Neocon she is just can't accept the will of the victims families. Oh, yeah, she is an advocate alright.

Kennedy blames accident on medications
By ANDREW MIGAASSOCIATED PRESS WRITER
WASHINGTON -- Rep. Patrick Kennedy crashed his car near the Capitol early Thursday, and a police official said he appeared intoxicated. Kennedy said he had taken sleep medication and a prescription anti-nausea drug that can cause drowsiness.
Kennedy, D-R.I., addressed the issue after a spate of news reports. His initial statement said, "I consumed no alcohol prior to the incident."

'I get my fix in a 2-newspaper town'
Some people crave java shots each morning. I hunger for newsprint. And, thankfully, I get my fix in a two-newspaper town, where I savor a robust mix of stories.
If MediaNews Group were to water down the Pioneer Press, the Twin Cities would not only become more like Sanka than a Starbucks espresso roast, but a community and regional artery would be severed.
As a kid in northern Wisconsin, I spent hours at the library, where I'd often find the Saint Paul newspaper and read news and see pictures from a place that had what my hometown didn't — skyscrapers, whales, a state Capitol, pro sports and more. That newspaper opened a window.
The Twin Cities has cranked out some pretty good wordsmiths. Novelist F. Scott Fitzgerald, CBS' Eric Sevareid, "Prairie Home Companion" Garrison Keillor, NPR's Michele Norris, Thomas Friedman and Ira Berkow of the New York Times, CNN's founding anchor Mary Alice Williams and its departing anchor Aaron Brown, and Steve Rushin, Sports Illustrated's weekly lead-off hitter, have all put pen to paper here.
They, I believe — like me and every other Pioneer Press and Star Tribune reader — have benefited from twice the analyses, viewpoints, voices, angles, and pictures of most towns. But how can we be one of America's most literate communities if half of our words disappear?

Columbian Gold. This is nothing new. Fox was just decriminalizing from the Mexican side. He doesn't have recourse really. He doesn't have jails big enough or control of very violent border towns. Fox also recognizes there is an economy in the drug trade with the USA imports. So, Mexico just wants their courts freed up and their tourist trade intact.

Mexico's Fox won't sign drug law
ReutersWednesday, May 3, 2006; 8:59 PM
MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Mexican President Vicente Fox will not sign widely criticized narcotics legislation until Congress removes parts of the law that decriminalize the possession of small amounts of drugs, his office said on Wednesday.
The president's office said the law would be sent back to Congress for revision.
I love the 'attitude' regarding CNN's glibness regarding the 911 families and the Moussoui verdict. This news team insists that Moussaoi is nobody in the terrorist network and that jailing him will be the same as any other dangrous criminal in our prisons. I would be surprised that would be the case. The more domestic criminals are in, I believe it was Colorado? None of the New York Terrorists from 1003 are there. They are secured in areas that would not necessarily be a target of more terrorist attacks.
Jury Decides Against Execution for Moussaoui
By NEIL A. LEWIS and DAVID STOUT
Published: May 3, 2006
ALEXANDRIA, Va., May 3 — A federal court jury spared the life of Zacarias Moussaoui today, voting to send him to prison for the rest of his days rather than condemn him to death for the carnage of Sept. 11, 2001.
The issue of preparedness and security belongs at the state level under this administration. They have proved over and over again they are unable to protect this country from everything from terrorists, to outsourcing and economic decline measured best by the direct ratio of national debt to economic improvemnt. Bush is buying an economy with debt. That is not an economy, it does't grow. It only exploits and rewards those that reap the profits from the exploitation.
The states need to formulate their own plans realizing Bush has washinged his hands of the Bird Flu Pandemic in time to do something in time. He isn't compeltely stuipd. He knows when people's lives are on the line and when he can't do anything about it. The Governors are the heroes here and it should be an election issue.
US plan aims to slow bird flu
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Americans should prepare for travel restrictions and school closures if an influenza pandemic hits, but such measures can only temporarily slow the inevitable spread of disease, the government's new flu plan says.
The White House influenza plan released on Wednesday builds on an earlier plan to combat a potential pandemic of H5N1 avian influenza, including preparations to build a stockpile of vaccines and drugs, already under way, and work to develop newer and better vaccines.
"In terms of its scope, the impact of a severe pandemic may be more comparable to that of a war or a widespread economic crisis than a hurricane, earthquake or act of terrorism," the report reads.
Mr. Firedman has been an advoccate for a gas tax a long time now. I am surprised he allowed Anderson to steer him into calling a compromised society as a bunch of addits. Addition is not the issue, it's CHOICES THAT ARE THE ISSUE. Anderson has got it "W"rong again. Thomas Freidman is incorrect as well. This issue's resolve has always been thwarted by Republicans. The Democrats, and the classic example is California, has the toughest fuel standards in the country.
My son is graduating from college and entering the business field. He wants a new car. He's right, he should have that reward for achieving a stepping stone in life. But. I have advised him to wait. The 'Flex Fuel' and cars are the best short term answer. Given there is little to know alternatives to high priced fuel, he'll be driving one of th e older carsin the family due to DIRTY FUEL alternatives sponsored by Georgie Gaa. There isn't anything 'secure' or 'predictable' or 'stable' about the future for this 2- something generation. There are Republican criminals running the country that line businesses with the promise of our children and their enjoyment in life. My son should not have to wait to make the BEST CHOICE in car buying, he did all the work. He desreves to have life by the tail. Under this Republican dominated country, he is denied MUCH of the Promise of being American.
High energy prices affect small businesses
JOYCE M. ROSENBERG
Associated Press
NEW YORK - Rebecca Boegnik has had to go ahead and raise prices, while Rebecca Herwick is keeping more inventory on hand. And Blair Whitworth's company is using technology to accomplish the tasks that used to be done on road trips.
For small business owners like these, the problems caused by soaring energy prices go far beyond filling gas tanks. Freight costs are continually rising, materials are getting more expensive by the month and travel is becoming too costly. Companies are finding whatever ways they can to cut costs, but many are faced with the prospect of raising their own prices - a move they fear could hurt their competitiveness.
Two years ago, a barrel of crude was selling for $40, an astronomical sum at the time. Now, it's in the low $70 range, while gasoline, which sold for about $1.80 in early May 2004 now costs over $3 in many places.
"It's an interesting dilemma," Boegnik said of rising prices.
1046
Anderson you are as much a loser as the Republican Party that Candy Crowley seems to advocate tolerance with. No one is interested in tunnel construction. People are interested in border security. What a jerk.
Where is the news secretary? Anderson perfer his 'cheaper' boy toy Frankenstein than flirting with the lady of the evening? This is nothing but propaganda that has nothing to d with reality and internatinal policy. You are not going to tell me Fox didn't know about the tunnels either.

I doubt seriously the FBI that exposed Moussoui thought he was a 'small fish.' Anderson obviously forgets that Moussoui was stopped by the FBI. He was unsuccessful. He was nabbed and compromised so that he could not participate. Given those facts, Moussoui can only be a small fish if all the other 19 terrorists from 911 were.

Manchin is currently in Europe on a trade mission. But, the governor's press secretary, Tom Hunter, says Manchin hopes Mcloy's letter can shed some light on what happened. Hunter adds, "He's very eager to return to the state for the beginning of public hearings on Tuesday. It is his hope a lot of these questions can be addressed at these hearings".

Dead soldier posts farewell note on MySpace
By Aabhi Raghunathan / St. Petersburg Times
Before signing off his webpage on MySpace.com Monday, Army Pvt. Dylan Meyer typed a farewell note to the world.
"Jesus, I don't know if any of you have heard what has happened to me yet, but I just want to remind you not to be sad. Laugh, that's what lifes about," Meyer wrote. "When it is all said and done, and all the b------t is cleared away, it is the ones you love who you will remember."
The next morning, Meyer was found dead in the Army barracks at Fort Gordon in Georgia. He was 20.
Because the Army is still investigating, officials would not release the cause of Meyer's death or say if he committed suicide. But the note on Meyer's MySpace page seemed to tell many in the tight community at Gibbs High School, which Meyer attended, that he had taken his own life.

April 27th, 2006 7:19 pm3 New Orleans Drainage Pumps Catch Fire
By Brett Martel / Associated Press
NEW ORLEANS - Three massive drainage pumps caught fire during heavy rain Wednesday and will be out of commission at least a month, city officials said.
Insulated wiring in dozens of pumps, including the three that caught fire, was damaged by salt water that flooded the city after major levee breaks caused by Hurricane Katrina.
"Salt water and 100-year-old insulation on wires is not compatible," said G. Joseph Sullivan, general superintendent for the city's Sewerage and Water Board.
Because the salt-water flooding was caused by breaks in federal levees, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has pledged to pay nearly $37 million to repair the pump motors at 24 stations around the city.

Quality of gasoline declines as prices billow

Deposit-control additives have been required by the EPA in all gasoline since 1995; however, research shows that as much as 50 percent of the fuel on the market is formulated with less effective additives that employ the minimum additive legally required (known as the lowest additive concentration, or LAC), according to Scott Cushing, sales manager at ChevronTexaco. Although it conforms to EPA regulations, many believe that LAC gasoline provides inadequate valve cleanliness.
"LAC was actually created to help reduce exhaust emissions by keeping fuel injectors and intake valves and ports clean," says Cushing. But the testing requirements were flawed such that even low doses of additives could pass the test, which results in excessive deposits that cause driveability upset. High fuel prices have forced consumers to shop around for the lowest cost, but when they purchase inexpensive gasoline, they may very well be buying LAC gas and unknowingly contributing to engine deposits, explains Cushing.

Disarmament board chooses Iranian as vice chair
By NATHAN GUTTMANWASHINGTON
As the international community looks into ways of stopping Iran from developing nuclear weapons, an Iranian representative was elected to be the vice chair of the UN's disarmament commission.
The commission, which began its annual conference last week, was established by the UN General Assembly in the early 50's in order to promote disarmament and to review international treaties dealing with nuclear energy.
The commission does not have any authority to enforce its decisions and is not connected to the International Atomic Energy Agency, which is the international nuclear watchdog that is now investigating Iran's nuclear program and is expected to report to the UN Security Council by the end of the month.
The new Iranian vice chair, Mehdi Danesh-Yazdi, who is also the country's ambassador to the UN, said last week that Iran will cooperate with the IAEA and will "seek an acceptable venue for holding transparent talks with interested parties." The ambassador, who is one of three vice-chairpersons, said during the meeting of the commission that Israel's nuclear stockpile is among "the major sources of concern with regard to global peace and security."

The President and Page County
by Karen Kwiatkowskiby Karen Kwiatkowski
More precisely, this story could be called "The President’s Youngest Brother, Marvin Bush, and a Trail of Corrupt Government Officials from Page County, Virginia to Richmond."
For most people, Page County, in the Shenandoah Valley, is a lovely and tranquil place. For others, Page County is a criminal profit center, humming with illegal activity. As a result of this illegal activity, George Bush’s favorite brother is owed $34 million by the residents of Page County. And so far he’s getting his money, every damn penny of it.
Marvin Bush is partner and co-founder of the venture capital firm, Winston Partners, out of McLean, Virginia. Marvin’s company purchased Tellurian, the Page County’s waste management and landfill operator.
In Page County, companies like Tellurian were symbolized by the 18-wheelers that arrived around the clock laden with high-value garbage from out-of-state.
The permit for the Battle Creek landfill allows for 250 tons of garbage per day. The expected carry capacity for an 18-wheeler is about 20 tons, so 250 tons a day would bring a dozen big trucks every day into the Battle Creek facility.
Seriously folks, you can’t make money like that! So an under-the-counter deal was made between some Page County supervisors and Tellurian to illegally accept delivery of 1,500 tons/day at the Battle Creek landfill. The DEQ in Richmond, the Governor’s office (at the time this was Governor Mark Warner, now a 2008 Democratic presidential aspirant, and his Republican Attorney General Jerry Kilgore) and others were aware of the deal. 1,500 tons! That’s six-dozen big trucks a day, and the over-dumping began.
An illegal "amendment" to the Page County contract with Tellurian – increasing the garbage deliveries to 1,500 tons a day – was physically signed by the local County supervisors on 14 December 2001. Within hours of this illegal amendment, Tellurian was purchased by Winston Partners. Several months later, Tellurian was renamed National Waste Services of Virginia. Over-dumping continued, with help from the Virginia DEQ and the governor’s office for nearly two years.
After two years, the Battle Creek landfill was closed – not for felonious and fraudulent over-dumping by 600% – but instead for minor reasons that would be easily overturned in court, including failure to cover the garbage daily with only one inch of dirt instead of two, too-steep gradients, and the odd missing storm drain.
Upon the closure of the landfill, Marvin Bush’s NWS sued Page County supervisors. The lawsuit alleged that the closure violated the contract and had pushed NWS into bankruptcy. Even though Page County had the right to end the contract without penalty at any time, Page County supervisors agreed not only to have the County’s taxpayers clean up the environmental mess made at the Battle Creek Landfill, but for them to pay NWS’s landfill related debts.
Marvin Bush owed another company, Capitol Source, $34 million as a result of the alleged bankruptcy of NWS. Even though the court imposed no criminal or civil penalties, the settlement agreement deemed that Marvin Bush would receive $34 million, and that he would receive Battle Creek landfill profits until the debt is totally paid.
The general saga has been reported here and here. It is also well known to federal investigators.
In sum, Page County is handing over the first $34 million of profits from the recently re-opened Battle Creek landfill to Marvin Bush. Presumably, the bribes paid by NWS and Winston Partners to the various government officials – both Democrat and Republican – are covered by the $34 million.
One would think that this is enough criminality for local and state government. But there’s more! It is a Class IV felony – a crime – to falsify County financial records. Yet, according to the Page County Treasurer, the County financial records do not show the huge debt to Winston Partners. This debt, and the destination of years of future profits from the Page County landfill, remains hidden from taxpayers.
It is all so unnecessary. But it is a taste of the big city out here in the country. It is mafia politics in action, from the least of them in the 2001 and 2002 membership of the Page County Board of Supervisors, to the greatest of them in and near the White House.

Kerri Parke opens our new series on Malcolm X by looking at his political development
More than 40 years after his death, Malcolm X is as relevant as he was in the 1960s. He remains a revered figure of defiance against all forms of racist oppression, especially among young people.
Young Muslim men can certainly identify with him. In fact, I’m sure if he were alive today the powers that be would be accusing him of being a terrorist.
So how did he go from his ordinary life in Michigan, US, to become one of the leading icons of the black civil rights movement?
He was born Malcolm Little in 1925, into intense poverty. He soon experienced the deep racism of US society.

More than one kind of racism
By Don Erler
Special to the Star-Telegram
Way back in the bad old days, state-supported racism was easy to detect. Jim Crow laws put the official sanction of government behind a pair of principles: Black folks are inferior and should be kept segregated from superior whites.
But well over half a century ago, our Congress, executive branch and courts began to dismantle such "de jure" racism. In the 1954 Brown vs. Board of Education case, for example, the Supreme Court declared: "Separate educational facilities are inherently unequal."
Yet earlier this month, the Nebraska Legislature voted to divide Omaha's public schools into three districts, one each dominated by African-Americans, Hispanics and whites.
That state's only black senator, Ernie Chambers, said that the plan would give minorities control over their own school boards. He noted that there "is no intent to create segregation."
Although this proposal will -- as it should -- almost certainly fall to court challenges, it is not as loony as it initially sounds. Chambers observed that because students attend neighborhood schools and because most neighborhoods are ethnically cohesive, Omaha's schools are already segregated. He thinks that letting each major group control its own educational resources could improve education for minorities.

Legislature Votes For Ten Commandments
OKLAHOMA CITY (April 25, 2006) - Members of the Oklahoma House of Representatives approved legislation today that would give state support to counties that display the Ten Commandments on public property.
Senate Bill 1878, by state Sen. Harry Coates (R-Seminole) and state Rep. Kevin Calvey, would allow the state Attorney General to defend counties from lawsuits challenging public display of the Ten Commandments.
"The Ten Commandments has been one of the most important foundations of civilized law for centuries, but a few zealots want that information suppressed because of religious bigotry," said Calvey, R-Del City. "Senate Bill 1878 simply ensures that fringe groups filing lawsuits aren't allowed to restrict the free speech rights of all Oklahomans."
Provisions of Senate Bill 1878 developed by state Sen. James Williamson, R-Tulsa, would allow county commissioners to approve the display of the Ten Commandments on county property after having been advised by the Office of the District Attorney or the Office of the Attorney General how to do so in a constitutional manner, and would allow the state Attorney General to defend counties from lawsuits challenging such a display.
The legislation also allows money from the state's General Revenue Fund to go to district attorneys to cover the costs of defending legal challenges to displays of the Ten Commandments on public property when the Attorney General declines to provide the legal defense.

Courts to decide if state can fund Baptist school's pharmacy project
By Jack Brammer and Frank Lockwood
HERALD-LEADER STAFF WRITERS
Fletcher takes veto pen to $370 million in projects
Partial list of budget cuts FRANKFORT — Gov. Ernie Fletcher will not veto $10 million for a pharmacy school at the University of the Cumberlands, but the said no money will be used on the project until courts determine if it’s constitutional for state dollars to go to the Baptist school.
Fletcher, on statewide television tonight, said, “I believe we need to answer once and for all in Kentucky the legality of funding private faith-based institutions for public purposes.”
The issue of state funding for private, religious schools grew more intense after the school expelled student Jason Johnson because he said on a Web site that he was gay. The Kentucky Fairness Alliance, which promotes gay rights, had urged Fletcher to veto.
“I think (Gov. Fletcher) chose to fund bigotry and discrimination rather than to promote equality throughout Kentucky,” Johnson said.
He said he was upset with Fletcher’s decision, “not only as a taxpayer, as a citizen of Kentucky.”
Although Fletcher said he would not veto the money, the school apparently won’t get it immediately.
“Before any money is released to the institution, I’m asking the courts to determine the constitutionality of such projects,” Fletcher said.
Senate President David Williams, who had placed in the state budget $10 million for the pharmacy school and $1 million for scholarships there, said he did not think Fletcher’s decision was bad. The legislature approved the budget last month.
A Fletcher veto yesterday would have removed the $11 million from the state budget.
Williams, R-Burkesville, noted that Sen. Julian Carroll, D-Frankfort, and the Fairness Alliance were planning to challenge the funding in court.

BIRMINGHAM, AL, United States (UPI) -- The former leader of Aruba`s investigation of the disappearance of Alabamian Natalee Holloway says his son falsely accused a man who was released Monday.
Gerold Dompig said accusations of his son, Michael, against Geoffrey van Cromvoirt, 19, were part of a dispute among acquaintances that escalated out of control.
'He`s a kid; he got confused and frustrated and he said things he shouldn`t have said,' Dompig told the Birmingham (Ala.) News. 'It went too far.'
Dompig said his son -- angered by media accusations -- responded with talk he had heard about van Cromvoirt.
'One started talking about the other and the other talked back and it becomes something worse than a soap (opera),' Dompig said.
Dompig said he apologized to van Cromvoirt`s family and requested reassignment earlier this month since talk about Holloway`s nearly year-old disappearance adversely affected his family.
Holloway`s mother said she believes the three original suspects are at fault in Holloway`s disappearance.

More than 100 people were injured and at least 30 were dead, early estimates said Egypt's president Hosni Mubarak called it "a wicked terrorist act" and pledged to track down the perpetrators.
Witnesses described three separate explosions in rapid succession at a supermarket, a tourist restaurant and a hotel, all near the town centre. Dahab, one of the more relaxed Red Sea resorts is popular with Israeli and European holidaymakers.
In a sign that security services were treating the explosions as terrorism, police tried to stop people leaving the town.

Nor do they have any evidence that bin Laden's tape was linked to the attack.Bruce Hoffman, a RAND terrorism expert, agreed in a telephone interview from Washington."It could be coincidence. It's an extraordinarily short turnaround - it's impossible to say at this point," he said.Hoffman said Egypt was one of the most proficient Middle Eastern countries in dealing with terrorist groups, so this attack showed "how adept and innovative these groups are."It may be that the Sinai Peninsula is (Egypt's) Achilles heel. They've gone up and down the coast and hit the main tourist resorts," Hoffman said.

The Propaganda 'Fuzzy Teddy Bear' commercial of Kerr McGee.
This show is trash. There is no moral prioities when it counts. They 'did their time' on Global Warming and then drop the ball and proceed to make it worse by endoursing propaganda from Big Oil. Ludicrous in the word. They say the oil crisis is such a concern to the country and then 'sell' the bandits with Teddy Bear images. They are the best friend of news media schizophrenics.

Tourists blown away by ‘tornado’ off Alex Headland25.04.2006
By GORDON CLARK A GROUP of Austrian tourists thought they had woken up in Florida yesterday morning when they saw what looked like a tornado due east of Alexandra Headland.
Talla Andreas was behind the lens, filming the early-morning surfing action, when he captured the unusual formation.
“We were sitting at the point at Alex ... we all thought it was a tornado,” he said.
A call to the Bureau of Meteorology, however, confirmed it was actually a water spout, a relatively common sight in Moreton Bay during summer, but less common off the Sunshine Coast in late April.

Tornadoes touch down in central Oklahoma
Posted 4/24/2006 9:20 PM ET
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — At least two tornadoes moved through Canadian County near El Reno Monday night, causing some damage.
There were no immediate reports of injuries with the twisters, which developed ahead of a strong storm system making its way through the region.
Television footage showed one of the twisters moving over El Reno's municipal airport around 7:30 p.m.
Debris could been seen being lifted and flung about as the tornado moved over hangars at the facility. Footage also showed roof damage to the airport scattered metal. The storms were located near U.S. Highway 81 and Interstate 40 about 40 miles west of Oklahoma City.

Some FOX guy is getting the PR job at the White House.Figures. Bush isn't interested in communicating with the public through their news media so much as manipulation of the public perception of 'the truth' There is no better propaganda expert than FOX News.
You expect there to be a dialogue? That isn't what is going to happen here. The new Press Secretary is already a well paid propagandist. This is NOT an improvement.
Get out of here Suzanne. You're missing the entire purpose for this new Press Secretary. Bush wants loyalty from everyone. He wants charisma with the public. He wants a 'Fan Club.' There won't be 'serious' business at the White House Press Room anymore. The news media will have to
'work it' differently to get the news PR guy for Bush to stop his habits as a sensationalizer and GET THE FACTS.

Tourists die in Red Sea terror bombingsBy William Wallis in Cairo Published: April 25 2006 03:00 Last updated: April 25 2006 03:00
A series of explosions shook the Egyptian Red Sea resort of Dahab yesterday, in what appeared to be a terrorist attack.
http://news.ft.com/cms/s/34e54562-d3f7-11da-b2f3-0000779e2340.html
More than 100 people were injured and at least 30 were dead, early estimates said Egypt's president Hosni Mubarak called it "a wicked terrorist act" and pledged to track down the perpetrators.
Witnesses described three separate explosions in rapid succession at a supermarket, a tourist restaurant and a hotel, all near the town centre. Dahab, one of the more relaxed Red Sea resorts is popular with Israeli and European holidaymakers.
In a sign that security services were treating the explosions as terrorism, police tried to stop people leaving the town.

Red Valley residents say oil company is polluting land, people, animals
http://www.gallupindependent.com/2005/apr/042605rvoil.html
On April 15, two dams holding back oil up in Chuska broke loose from the snow pack. The oily water ran high for three days. The oil spill took out a school bus route when it washed away the road. (Courtesy Photo)
By Brian HasslerStaff Writer
RED VALLEY, Ariz. — The last decade hasn't been an easy one for Tommy Nakai and the residents of Red Valley Chapter.
Annual oil spills have led to contamination in the water and the ground and have caused crops to be destroyed, animals to die and family members to suffer with various illnesses associated with the oil spills.
"A lot of my relatives are having health problems," said Nakai. "I think it's from the oil getting into the water, from the particles of the oil floating in the water. I have an aunt that has breast cancer now because every summer the water is contaminated and they get sick.
" The problems with oil spills began more than 10 years ago when Kerr-McGee Oil Industries, Inc., turned over production from the 18 available wells in the area to Mountain States Petroleum Company.
"Before, when Kerr-McGee was in charge, things were fine," said Anna Frasier. "But since Mountain States took over, we've had spills every year and they don't do anything to stop it."
Those spills have worsened as time has gone by and have increased in size as the number of pumps still in use, nine, caused Mountain States to pump saline into the wells no longer in use.
In 2004, the amount of oil that spilled into the water runoff was equal to 25 barrels of oil, with each barrel containing 50 gallons. While in 2003 there was a spill that contaminated the soil for more than 20 farmers from the foot of Lukachukai Mountain down to the Red Valley Chapter area.
But the spills have come within the past weeks as on Thursday, April 14, when a break in a pipe caused 80 barrels worth of oil to mix with the water runoff that runs through 12 farms and doesn't stop in Red Valley Chapter.
"The water that runs down through the spring in the runoff goes through Red Valley, then through Oak Springs and eventually ends up in the San Juan River," said Frasier. "In all there's been 12 head of cattle that have been killed because of this and it has ruined the fields for growing crops."
Problems with Mountain States have moved the Red Valley Chapter to introduce a resolution that will be presented at its May 15 chapter meeting.
Calling for the Navajo Nation and Mountain States Petroleum Company to cancel the oil and gas lease agreements within the Red Valley Chapter boundaries, the chapter is also requesting for Mountain States to clean up the area that has been contaminated by the oil leaks.
"The Red Valley Chapter community requests that the Navajo Nation and their departments and Bureau of Indian Affairs join forces to immediately address the environmental devastation their community members have been exposed to for years and that the efforts to meet the aforementioned goals be a priority by all involved until such time that the issue is resolved," states the resolution.
Members of the Red Valley Chapter did contact members of the Tribal Environmental Protection Agency, but the muddy conditions caused by the oil spills didn't allow the EPA to thoroughly investigate the spills.
"When the spills happened, we called the EPA," said Lori Goodman.
"Getting a response was like pulling teeth and by the time they came out, on Monday, it had seeped into the ground. This isn't the first time this has happened and there are many families that can no longer farm."
Goodman added that the pipes for the oil, which are to be at least four feet under the ground, are exposed and are driven over constantly by passing vehicles.
In addition to demands for cleanup efforts by Mountain States Petroleum, the Red Valley resolution points to the fact that the chapter is authorized and sanctioned by the Navajo Nation to make decisions concerning such drilling choices due to the Local Governance Act.
The proposed resolution also adds that residents are forced to haul water in from different sources due to contaminated water and that the odors from the wells have caused residents to deal with illnesses that have hurt both themselves and their animals.
"Mountain States is ignoring what the people want for almost 10 years now," said Nakai. "We've contacted the EPA, Mountain States and everyone else and it seems like they are just ignoring it and want the problem to go away."
Red Valley Chapter members will discuss the resolution on May 15. Calls to Mountain States Petroleum Company were not returned.
ENOUGH hypocrisy, Anderson!!

Just don't believe the 'hype.' It is all nonsense.
The failure of the Bush Administration is obvious. All the 'spin' can't put a good face on this administration. The change in the White House Press Secretary is obvious. This will be Bush's third. I believe Fleisher is still at the Department of Agriculture and author of a hideous book. McClellan will probably follow in his steps.
"My days with The War President."
Rove was a good choice to terminate. As far as I am concerned he has been termintaed. But, you have to remember, Republicans are never terminated, they only disappear out of the public eye. The termination of Rove is obvious. He has been running a campaign since the run for office as Governor. It's never stopped. He belongs at the top of the Republican Party Campaign. As a matter of fact it will be the perfect place for him when he is indicted for outing a CIA agent along with Cheney and Bush.
The House of Bush has always been a House of Cards and it's collapsing.
Keep the perspective. The Turth always prevails and stands when all else fails.
I'll stay in front of the television awhile but I think I' am calling it a week. I have family that needs me.

Heavy snow on Wednesday crippled the northern Plains, while severe rain storms plagued the Southeast.
As much as 20 inches of snow blanketed the area near Harding, S.D., and wind gusts of 68 mph cut visibility to near zero.
A few more inches of snow were expected in the region. Heavy rain raised the risk of flooding in Alabama and Georgia, and a tornado was reported near Hogansville, Ga.
Generally clear skies spread across much of the rest of the nation. The Northeast saw temperatures into the upper 70s, and parts of Texas reached nearly 100 degrees.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Wednesday ranged from a morning low of 5 degrees at Yellowstone Park, Wyo., to a midday high of 96 in Laredo, Texas.

Rove's White House duties cut
WASHINGTON, April 19 (UPI) -- Karl Rove, a long-time adviser to U.S. President George Bush, is leaving his White House post to focus on the politics of the upcoming elections.
Rove was a key force in both of Bush's campaigns for president and, after the 2004 election, was made a deputy chief of staff for policy.
The Washington Post said Rove will be working on the elections next November. Democrats believe the current unpopularity of Bush makes it possible for the minority party to take control of Congress.
Bush and Rove have worked together since the president's run for governor in Texas.
The change was seen as part of the White House realignment set up by the change to Josh Bolten as chief of staff. Bolten took over the position last Friday.
The Post said Rove's White House position is likely to be taken by Joel Kaplan, currently deputy White house budget director.Copyright Political Gateway 2006© Copyright

This young woman provided a service to a group of young men that were supposed to be above reporach. Obviously they are not. The media blitz was the worst idea the defendants ever had. Trying to corrupt the 'imiage' surrounding the victim and setting up a Pre-Defense by releasing information regarding DNA testing was an attempt to bring pressure on the Prosecutor to drop the case. It was the worst strategy. It further hurt the victim . That strategy was less than humble or forgiving. It served to exacerbate the demand for justice. The Duke Shadow of 'priviledge seems to be a bit weighty on this issue. That shadow will be dealt with, if nothing else comes of this case the void between the community and Duke will be clearer. If the entities can fill that void is yet another issue. The community has to be willing and Duke available for change.

Washington's efforts to depose Vladimir Putin and gain control of Russian Oil reserves
The fax-back service for pre-written newspaper articles must have been working overtime these last few weeks at Langley, Virginia. A flood of articles has appeared in the press attacking the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, especially in the wake of the Beslan massacre. They all have the same structure. Whenever you read the words, "Nothing can excuse the murder of children," you know that a big "But" is looming. Such articles invariably go on to explain why the murder of children is indeed understandable, and the reason usually given is Russian authoritarianism, against which the Chechen rebellion is natural and legitimate.[i]

Robbery, not reconstruction, in Iraq
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2006/04/18/robbery_not_reconstruction_in_iraq/
By Derrick Z. Jackson, Globe Columnist April 18, 2006
The great liberator of Iraq was actually the hyena that cleaned out the nation.
Piece by piece, Halliburton over here, a corrupt company over there, we have heard various individual cases of overcharging and fraud by American firms in the reconstruction of Iraq. Last weekend, a Globe story connected some of the dots of corruption. Of $20.7 billion in Iraqi bank accounts and oil revenues seized by the Coalition Provisional Authority in the US-led invasion of Iraq, $14 billion was given out for reconstruction but tens of millions of dollars were unaccounted for. A year ago, an audit by the inspector general found no evidence of work done or goods delivered on 154 of 198 contracts. Sixty cases of potential swindles are under investigation.
Halliburton and its hundreds of millions of dollars of overcharges or baseless costs are well known. But millions more were taken by companies that promised to build or restore libraries or police facilities, or deliver trucks and construction equipment. Money was given to the puppet government with no follow-up. US government investigators can account for only a third of the $1.5 billion given by the CPA to the interim government and it appears that a substantial portion of the $8 billion given to Iraqi ministries went to ''ghost employees.''

"Shoot Them in the Cornfields!", a new play by Sophia Murashkovsky, is directed by Yuri Joffe, a noted, Stanislavski prize-winning director from Moscow's Mayakovsky Academic Theater. The play is a fictionalized family history that time-trips between World War II, the Khruschev reign, and the heady days of the coup d'état of 1991. It is a first-person account of an aging Jewish woman, Yelena Levin, and her husband, Mikhail Levin, who were both banished to Butirka; one of the most notorious criminal prisons of the Soviet Union, for entrepreneurship during Nikita Khrushchev's oppressive anti-intellectual reign in 1958.

Doolittle Taps Ken Starr To Fight Abramoff Fallout
http://cbs13.com/topstories/local_story_108120853.html
(AP) ROSEVILLE Congressman John Doolittle of Roseville is hiring a former aide to Whitewater special prosecutor Kenneth Starr to advise him as he fights fallout from his friendship with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Doolittle says that former federal prosecutor David Barger will advise him on how he should answer media questions about the scandal during his re-election campaign. Doolittle denies wrongdoing and says he has not been contacted by investigators.
What About a Stretch Limo?
New e-mails detail how disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff wooed a former government official with trips, tickets and even a job. All he wanted in return: access to public officials, some government property and maybe a slightly used car.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/12357359/site/newsweek/
By Michael Isikoff
Updated: 2:58 p.m. ET April 17, 2006
April 17, 2006 - The disclosure by federal prosecutors of more than 200 e-mails from lobbyist Jack Abramoff sheds new light on how the disgraced Washington power broker worked tirelessly to provide perks and favors to a former Bush administration official in a quest for favorable treatment from the government.
Abramoff, the e-mails show, bombarded then General Services Administration chief of staff David Safavian—who later worked in a senior position at the White House—with offers of sports tickets, golf outings, a lavish overseas trip and a lucrative job with his prestigious lobbying firm. At the same time, the e-mails show, Safavian offered to set up meetings and briefings for Abramoff and his associates and provide insider information that could have potentially benefitted his lobbying clients. Although there is no evidence that any of the deals actually came off, prosecutors say they illustrate how Safavian, who is due to stand trial next month on charges of lying to the FBI, “spent his energies looking out [for] Mr. Abramoff’s interests.”
In an Aug. 12, 2002, e-mail, Safavian responded to one of Abramoff’s associates who asked about arranging a GSA briefing for the chief executive of a software company being represented by Abramoff’s firm. “I’d be happy to put that together,” Safavian wrote. “What I would suggest is that we do two meetings … one with me where I can put on a dog and pony show, and a follow up with our commissioner at the [GSA’s] Federal Technology Service.” The commissioner, Safavian added, “has some critical information she can import to you and your client. I can orchestrate an impressive meeting with your client with relative ease.”
The timing of that and other e-mail exchanges is potentially important because they came just days after Safavian returned from a $130,000 golfing outing to the famed St. Andrews Course in Scotland that was organized by Abramoff. The itinerary for the trip, disclosed for the first time, show that the Abramoff party—which also included Ohio Rep. Robert Ney and well-connected Republican Party strategist Ralph Reed—involved a non-stop whirl of golfing and expensive dinners that the Abramoff party was driven to by “luxury coach.” At the last minute, a London leg of the trip was added by Abramoff—apparently so he could have a meeting with one of his clients, Alexander Koulakovsky, a Russian energy executive whose role in financing congressional trips for Rep. Tom Delay and a non-profit group, the U.S. Family Network, run by Delay’s former chief of staff, Ed Buckham, has come under scrutiny as part of the Abramoff investigation.

Whenever you read the words, "Nothing can excuse the murder of children," you know that a big "But" is looming. Such articles invariably go on to explain why the murder of children is indeed understandable, and the reason usually given is Russian authoritarianism, against which the Chechen rebellion is natural and legitimate.[i]

Robbery, not reconstruction, in Iraq
http://www.boston.com/news/globe/editorial_opinion/oped/articles/2006/04/18/robbery_not_reconstruction_in_iraq/
By Derrick Z. Jackson, Globe Columnist April 18, 2006
The great liberator of Iraq was actually the hyena that cleaned out the nation.
Piece by piece, Halliburton over here, a corrupt company over there, we have heard various individual cases of overcharging and fraud by American firms in the reconstruction of Iraq. Last weekend, a Globe story connected some of the dots of corruption. Of $20.7 billion in Iraqi bank accounts and oil revenues seized by the Coalition Provisional Authority in the US-led invasion of Iraq, $14 billion was given out for reconstruction but tens of millions of dollars were unaccounted for. A year ago, an audit by the inspector general found no evidence of work done or goods delivered on 154 of 198 contracts. Sixty cases of potential swindles are under investigation.
Halliburton and its hundreds of millions of dollars of overcharges or baseless costs are well known. But millions more were taken by companies that promised to build or restore libraries or police facilities, or deliver trucks and construction equipment. Money was given to the puppet government with no follow-up. US government investigators can account for only a third of the $1.5 billion given by the CPA to the interim government and it appears that a substantial portion of the $8 billion given to Iraqi ministries went to ''ghost employees.''

Shoot Them in the Cornfields
http://www.nyblueprint.com/event.asp?eid=13861
"Shoot Them in the Cornfields!", a new play by Sophia Murashkovsky, is directed by Yuri Joffe, a noted, Stanislavski prize-winning director from Moscow's Mayakovsky Academic Theater. The play is a fictionalized family history that time-trips between World War II, the Khruschev reign, and the heady days of the coup d'état of 1991. It is a first-person account of an aging Jewish woman, Yelena Levin, and her husband, Mikhail Levin, who were both banished to Butirka; one of the most notorious criminal prisons of the Soviet Union, for entrepreneurship during Nikita Khrushchev's oppressive anti-intellectual reign in 1958.

Doolittle Taps Ken Starr To Fight Abramoff Fallout
http://cbs13.com/topstories/local_story_108120853.html
(AP) ROSEVILLE Congressman John Doolittle of Roseville is hiring a former aide to Whitewater special prosecutor Kenneth Starr to advise him as he fights fallout from his friendship with disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff. Doolittle says that former federal prosecutor David Barger will advise him on how he should answer media questions about the scandal during his re-election campaign. Doolittle denies wrongdoing and says he has not been contacted by investigators.
What About a Stretch Limo?
New e-mails detail how disgraced lobbyist Jack Abramoff wooed a former government official with trips, tickets and even a job. All he wanted in return: access to public officials, some government property and maybe a slightly used car.

April 17, 2006 - The disclosure by federal prosecutors of more than 200 e-mails from lobbyist Jack Abramoff sheds new light on how the disgraced Washington power broker worked tirelessly to provide perks and favors to a former Bush administration official in a quest for favorable treatment from the government.
Abramoff, the e-mails show, bombarded then General Services Administration chief of staff David Safavian—who later worked in a senior position at the White House—with offers of sports tickets, golf outings, a lavish overseas trip and a lucrative job with his prestigious lobbying firm. At the same time, the e-mails show, Safavian offered to set up meetings and briefings for Abramoff and his associates and provide insider information that could have potentially benefitted his lobbying clients. Although there is no evidence that any of the deals actually came off, prosecutors say they illustrate how Safavian, who is due to stand trial next month on charges of lying to the FBI, “spent his energies looking out [for] Mr. Abramoff’s interests.”
In an Aug. 12, 2002, e-mail, Safavian responded to one of Abramoff’s associates who asked about arranging a GSA briefing for the chief executive of a software company being represented by Abramoff’s firm. “I’d be happy to put that together,” Safavian wrote. “What I would suggest is that we do two meetings … one with me where I can put on a dog and pony show, and a follow up with our commissioner at the [GSA’s] Federal Technology Service.” The commissioner, Safavian added, “has some critical information she can import to you and your client. I can orchestrate an impressive meeting with your client with relative ease.”
The timing of that and other e-mail exchanges is potentially important because they came just days after Safavian returned from a $130,000 golfing outing to the famed St. Andrews Course in Scotland that was organized by Abramoff. The itinerary for the trip, disclosed for the first time, show that the Abramoff party—which also included Ohio Rep. Robert Ney and well-connected Republican Party strategist Ralph Reed—involved a non-stop whirl of golfing and expensive dinners that the Abramoff party was driven to by “luxury coach.” At the last minute, a London leg of the trip was added by Abramoff—apparently so he could have a meeting with one of his clients, Alexander Koulakovsky, a Russian energy executive whose role in financing congressional trips for Rep. Tom Delay and a non-profit group, the U.S. Family Network, run by Delay’s former chief of staff, Ed Buckham, has come under scrutiny as part of the Abramoff investigation.

The Robot has more to say than Anderson does. Can't be good news.
If Bush abdicates his authority to Cheney to protect our intelligence agents while abdicating his brain to Rove what makes anyone think Bush actually works for a living. Having Bolten 'play politics' with the White House and it's influence by allowing a Chief of Staff reveal high level nominations and their qualifications only fits the profile of a president that is completely inept.

The CONTENT of the meetings by Rumsfeld should be revealed if indeed it is a valid defense. Bush has a way of censoring the issues he doesn't want revealed while revealing the issues that defeat Democrats. I don't care how many meetings Rumsfeld holds if it doesn't get the job done while victimizing the people of Iraq in prisons; what good do the meetings do? Rumsfeld personally influenced the sexual conduct of a female interrogator with detainees in Gitmo. I find that demeaning as a female and appauling to realize such issues are supervised by a Secretary of Defense. He persoanlly supervised the sexual intimidation of Gitmo but not the antics and deaths at Abu Ghraib. There is something "W"rong with that analogy.
If 'the word' got around that Rumsfeld was personally overseeing sexual interrogations of detainees at Gitmo then I know where the Abu Ghraib prison guards got their ideas. There aren't that many female officers that would be in contact with prisoners. The 'tactics' in Gitmo received clout due to Rumsfeld involvement. Ms. England attempted to achieve in Baghdad what they were trying to achieve in Gitmo.

The FEMA trailers cannot be moved fast enough unless there is a tractor for every trailer at the time of evaucation and the traffic snarles would be prohibitive. It's another stupid idea by the cowboy administration of Bush.

I doubt moving trailers by FEMA is actually a viable plan just one to get people talking. Another "Culture of Fear' backlash stimulant.

Global warming sparks a scramble for black gold under retreating ice

BUSH is challenging the sovereignty of Canada.
A dispute between the US and Canada over rights to shipping lanes through the North-West Passage flared up again this year, with Canada promising to step up its military presence to protect what it regards as its territory and the US sees as international waters. Norway and Russia are squabbling over the Barents Sea, while Denmark is eyeing the north pole itself.
Ecosystem Responses to Climate Warming
http://www.whrc.org/borealNAmerica/eco_res.htm
Rather we have found that while tundra vegetation experienced an increase in both peak photosynthesis and growing season length between 1982 and 2003, many forested areas actually experienced a decline in photosynthetic activity and showed no systematic change in growing season length. Climatic warming occurred across the entire region, but the change in the forest response indicates that long-term changes may not be predictable from initial, short-term observations. Fire disturbance has also increased with the warming (see related section on this topic) but does not explain the decline in forest photosynthetic activity.
The segment about the Polar Bear was very well done. Want a truce? The War Party in the Oval Office hasn't surrended to Global Warming initiatives yet. Truces when it comes to saving a planet are dangerous alliances.
I appreciate the focus. Sincerely. You want to save lives? Then do it. Don't sponsor war or the people that advocate it. You cannot save a planet with chronic wars.
Enough for now. I am not 'fascinated' by murder.
