In yet another reminder of the ominous reality of the growing brutality of the War in Iraq , and Bush administration's `Peace and Freedom on the March' approach to "solving" it, the Associated Press is now reporting that the US military is secretly bringing back the extremely deadly, heavily armed slow flying "Spooky" and "Spectre" C130U gunships to Iraq. The last time the US press had reported that Spooky gunships were being used in Iraq was in the November 2004 Siege of Fallujah, during which the majority of that city was destroyed. Read More

Sorry for this hasty diary, but I wanted to get it out.

This rumor has just been reported by the British paper the Guardian:

One French journalist from the daily newspaper Libération was given precise information that 1,200 people had drowned at Marion Abramson school on 5552 Read Boulevard. Nobody at the Federal Emergency Management Agency or the New Orleans police force has been able to verify that.
But then Fema could not confirm there were thousands of people at the convention centre until they were told by the press for the simple reason that they did not know.
"Katrina's winds have left behind an information vacuum. And that vacuum has been filled by rumour.
"There is nothing to correct wild reports that armed gangs have taken over the convention centre," wrote Associated Press writer, Allen Breed.

At the risk of unleashing another attack by the DKos fraudster thought police, I thought it would be worthwhile to share a recent essay from the Project Censored website:

No Paper Trail Left Behind:
The Theft of the 2004 Presidential Election

It is a fine distillation of the evidence for election fraud, and it also poses the the question why so many Dems seem to be so graciously accepting of it. Read More

This comes just a week or so following the deaths of some 15-20 Ohio marines in action in Iraq.

Nearly every detail UK Gvmt gave initially about killing of innocent Brazilian were untruthful.

Contrary to earlier media statements, it dribbled out today that Jean Charles de Menezes was not wearing a bulky padded coat, and did not jump the turnstile, and was legal in his visa status, according to a story in today's Guardian: Read More

Some of you may be aware that veteran, regular Dkos contributor DHinMI has been making rather harsh statements on DKos lately about Justin Raimondo and his generally well-regarded site, Antiwar.com. In comments and diaries, DHinMI has been claiming Antiwar.com to be a hard right, anti-Semitic website, and an illegitimate news and commentary source. Furthermore DHinMI has repeatedly accused the site's owner, Raimondo, and by extension, most of the commentators who post on Antiwar.com, as being anti-Semites, "buchananites" and mass-murderer/Milosevic-lovers, in so many words.

If you have flipped through Fox News or most of the other US cable news channels, NPR or even CSPAN in the last few days to hear the latest news and analysis on the London terrorist bombings, you will have heard a pretty much uniform message coming from a procession of Islamic and middle east terrorism experts, consultants and pundits, like William Krystol, Stephen Schwartz , Steve Emerson, Daniel Gour'e, as well as several other authoritative terrorism book writers and think tankers. The message is that the London bombings are the latest strike by the world-wide Al-Qaeda Conspiracy and are in character with past Al Qaeda/spin-off attacks. They are, with little doubt, fanatical suicide bombing carried out by young, religion steeped Islamic extremists, say our cable TV experts and consultants.

What is it about Friday afternoons? It seems all the bad news for Bush comes out just before the weekend.

Italy Judge Orders Arrest of 13 CIA Agents

An Italian judge on Friday ordered the arrests of 13 CIA officers for secretly transporting a Muslim preacher from Italy to Egypt as part of U.S. anti-terrorism efforts -- a rare public objection to the practice by a close American ally.

The Egyptian was spirited away in 2003, purportedly as part of the CIA's "extraordinary rendition" program in which terror suspects are transferred to third countries without court approval, subjecting them to possible torture.
...

The 13 are accused of seizing Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr, known as Abu Omar, on a Milan street on Feb. 17, 2003, and sending him to Egypt, where he reportedly was tortured, Milan prosecutor Manlio Claudio Minale said in a statement.

The U.S. Embassy in Rome and the CIA in Washington declined to comment.

Bottom Line: About one-half of the total US paid and directed combat zone personnel in Iraq are private contractors and mercenaries, according to a recent Frontline report. This privatized half of US forces are "off the books" in terms of casualty reports and publicly transparent financial accounting. Iraq War privitization allows Bush to conceal from Americans the true war costs, and the full scope of US casualties. Bush's privatization of the Iraq War has a number of additional harmful consequences on the US Military.

A very interesting review, Facing down privatization of war of a recent PBS Frontline TV report * ''Private Warriors"*,
appeared today in the Boston Globe.

I have not seen the Frontline report itself yet. Neither the report nor the TV review have seemed to have been diaried yet when I just searched under the above titles. Read More

What would you say if someone told you that 100 miles off the East and Gulf coasts of the continental United States lying quietly on the bottom in ~800 ft deep water was 64 times more clean natural gas as the entire proven planetary natural gas reserves?

How can this be? We are constantly being told that we are running out of easily accessible energy in this country, and that is why we must get it from unstable countries and dictatorships half way around the planet, or tear up the fragile arctic areas.

That is the Bushco-BigOil PEAK OIL Story being told to the public.

What they are not talking about is something called methane (natural gas) hydrates.

Bushco and Big Oil never have never explained to you about methane (natural gas) hydrates?

Never heard of the stuff? See this to find out about Methane Hydrate
