WASHINGTON — Increasing the size of the Army, strained by America's two ongoing wars, will cost an estimated $70 billion, a top Army general said Tuesday. And if yet another conflict were to develop before the force can be bolstered, it would take longer to fight and cost more American casualties than otherwise might be expected, said Lt. Gen. Stephen Speakes, a deputy chief of staff. Reversing previous administration thinking, President Bush said last month that he wants a larger military. And Defense Secretary Robert Gates earlier this month recommended that the Army's troop strength be increased by 65,000 soldiers, to a total of 547,000 worldwide and the Marines be ...

CANBERRA (Reuters) - An airline passenger barred from a flight for wearing a T-shirt labelling U.S. President George W. Bush a terrorist has threatened legal action against Australia's flag carrier Qantas. Allen Jasson, 55, an Australian IT expert who lives in Britain, was stopped from boarding a London-bound Qantas flight at Melbourne Airport last Friday for wearing what the airline said was an offensive T-shirt. Airline staff said the T-shirt of Bush with the tagline "World's number 1 terrorist" could have upset other passengers and demanded it be changed for another. But Jasson, who had earlier travelled on a Qantas domestic flight wearing the Bush T-shirt, said his ...

Sundance Abu Ghraib film shows America's dark side

When documentary film maker Rory Kennedy wanted to make a movie about why ordinary people commit extraordinary acts of evil, the images of U.S. soldiers torturing detainees at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison kept coming back to haunt her. The result was "Ghosts of Abu Ghraib," one of the most talked about documentaries at this year's Sundance Film Festival and one that appeals to a public at odds with U.S. policy on the war in Iraq. As Kennedy -- daughter of the late Robert F. Kennedy and Ethel Kennedy -- interviewed soldiers and witnesses to the abuse in the fall of 2003, she concluded it was the product of a system fighting terror after the 9/11 attacks rather than a few ...

(Jan. 19) - A former militia man convicted of tax evasion prepared for a government siege Friday at his fortress-like home, but U.S. marshals gave no indication they were planning to confront him. Ed Brown says he's ready for federal agents to execute an arrest warrant issued after he failed to appear for the end of his trial. The former militia man convicted of tax evasion says he's prepared for a government siege at his fortress-like home. "If Mexico came up on my land and tried to take my land, would I not fight?"

A(nother) depressing week in wartime Washington Monday Washington is shuttered for the day; there are some cities where only a third or a quarter of office drones ditch work for Martin Luther King’s birthday, and this isn’t one of them. Five days earlier the president grabbed the news cycle with both hands and announced, after weeks of buildup, that he was going to kick over Jim Baker’s sandcastle and send more troops to Iraq. Not 20,000 troops, like the rubes were expecting; nope, a full 21,500. And if it turns out that 21,501 more troops were what we needed to transmogrify Iraq into Switzerland, that’ll be a shame, but at least we tried. The whole, seemingly ...
Opposition To Iraq War Simmers In America's Heartland; Bush is losing...

TOPEKA, Kan. - President Bush is losing the heartland. Conservative Kansas - home to the Army's Fort Riley, the U.S. Cavalry Museum, Republican icons Dwight Eisenhower and Bob Dole, and the place that gave Bush back to back landslide majorities - is turning against the Iraq war. Kansas Democrats are quicker to oppose Bush, but growing numbers of Kansas Republicans also are rejecting his plan to send more troops to Iraq and the war itself. That threatens Bush's hope to maintain a solid base of support for his war policies and undermines White House efforts to portray war opposition as partisan Democratic politics. "The president's war ideas are not very popular ...
How To Deal With Police Officers - Magic Words?

When dealing with the police, keep your hands in view and don't make sudden movements. Avoid passing behind them. Nervous cops are dangerous cops. Also, never touch the police or their equipment (vehicles, flashlights, animals, etc.) - you can get beat up and charged with assault. The police do not decide your charges; they can only make recommendations. The prosecutor is the only person who can actually charge you. Remember this the next time the cops start rattling off all the charges they're supposedly "going to give you." Questioning Interrogation isn't always bright lights and rubber hoses - usually it's just a conversation. Whenever the cops ask you ...

'Radical traditionalist Catholics' comprise major anti-Semitic movement Jan. 17, 2007 -- The growing number of "radical traditionalist Catholics," men and women who angrily reject many of the Vatican's core teachings, may form the single largest group of hard-core anti-Semites in America, according to a report, The New Crusaders, released today in the latest issue of the Southern Poverty Law Center's Intelligence Report. With more than 100,000 U.S. followers, famously including actor Mel Gibson's father Hutton Gibson, the radical traditionalist movement embraces a series of anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, has significant financial and publishing ...

CONCORD, N.H. (AP) - A man who has holed up with armed supporters in his cement-walled house for most of his tax evasion trial was found guilty Thursday, along with his wife, of failing to pay federal income taxes for a decade. Ed Brown has said he will defend himself against capture if necessary. U.S. Marshal Stephen Monier said Thursday that members of his staff continued talking by telephone with Brown and had no plans to confront him. Ed Brown's wife, Elaine, a dentist who earned most of the couple's income, has been staying with a son in Massachusetts and attended the trial. The Browns, of Plainfield, contend the law does not require them to pay federal income tax, while ...

January 16, 2007 -- Bush-Hitler comparisons. A few years ago, this editor appeared on Hannity & Colmes defending my article likening the policies of George W. Bush and Adolf Hitler. Afterwards, I was confronted with the usual comments from neo-Nazis, Freepers, Limbaugh radio monkeys, Likud supporters, and limp-wristed Democrats. And as for "Godwin's Law" (you lose the argument when you bring up Nazis), Mike should've stuck with data privacy lawyering and left political comparisons to the professional pundits. Bush-Hitler comparisons are now the rage. They weren't in 2003.Now that Bush-Hitler comparisons are in vogue, WMR is pleased to link to this video on YouTube.

-NEW HAVEN — The public can watch next week’s explosive demise of the New Haven Veterans Memorial Coliseum from atop the Temple Street Garage. Private parties are also expected to mark the destruction of the three-decade old structure Jan. 20, at 7:30 a.m. But if you lack one of those invitations, you can park for free at the 1,200-space garage from 5 to 9 a.m., listen to The Cobalt Rhythm Kings band and pick up some free coffee or hot chocolate as you watch 6,000 tons of steel come crashing down. For those who feel the need to spend a longer time reminiscing about the Coliseum, a visit to Artspace might satisfy you. The gallery is one of two official places where tenants ...

“A nation that continues year after year to spend more money on military defense than on programs of social uplift is approaching spiritual death.” Greed blows out the spark of the divine in all those who succumb to it, and the inevitable loss of compassion in both the winners and losers worsens the plight of the suffering billions of victims who live in the developing world.Those were the words of Martin Luther King, Jr. in his famous speech on April 4, 1967, one year to the day of his1968 assassination in Memphis, TN. The people who heard that speech recognized it as one of the most powerful speeches ever given, articulating the immorality of the Viet Nam War. Some also saw ...

Is Catholic Church’s just-war theory just? Critics challenge it as outdated By Emily Stimpson 1/3/2007 Our Sunday Visitor HUNTINGTON, Ind. (Our Sunday Visitor) – Is contemporary just-war theory just? That's the question being asked by the Global Ethics and Religion Forum, which recently launched a study group dedicated to "Revising Just War Theory for the 21st Century." That's also the question being debated by bloggers, pundits and scholars from coast to coast as they evaluate the justness of the ongoing U.S. military presence in Iraq. Just-war theory lays out the criteria for when (jus ad bellum) and how (jus in bello) secular rulers may appropriately use ...
Gaza on brink of civil war as cleric is killed ( all according to neocon plan)

An unarmed Muslim cleric was shot dead as he drove home from leading prayers yesterday, the latest victim of the Gaza Strip violence that is threatening to spiral into all-out civil war. Witnesses said Adel Nassar, 50, was murdered because, during his sermon, he dared criticise the killers of a Fatah security chief and seven of his bodyguards. That attack, on Thursday, was widely blamed on Hamas. The killing of a cleric represents a new low in the internecine fighting between Hamas and Fatah which has already claimed dozens of lives and defied attempts by the parties' leaderships to agree peace terms. The latest call for a ceasefire by the leaders of both groups ended in the ...
