California Fires

While talking to a friend last night about the Faux Noise story on the fires in California he mentioned that a group called the Environmental Liberation Federation had been high on the list of suspects. Is this group on a terrorist watch list??? Their website is shut down. Scary stuff.

This is on the ELF.

Why those who love America are feeling brokenhearted

I am ashamed for America. Note carefully that I do not say I am ashamed of America. Despite all its inherent flaws and all its tragic mistakes, the United States stands, however incompletely and with whatever imperfections, for the highest standards of freedom and democracy that the world has yet known.

1. The president urges Congress in effect to accept the Turkish protest against the attribution of Armenian genocide because it might interfere with Turkish logistic cooperation in the ill-starred and foolish Iraq war.

If Turks expect to become part of Europe and the West, they must acknowledge what their ancestors did.

Washington society has been chattering about the risk of war with Tehran. It's an open secret that Vice President Dick Cheney has made bombing plans, but even high-ranking military experts think an attack would lead to world economic chaos, or even what George W. Bush calls 'World War III.'

US Vice President Dick Cheney -- the power behind the throne, the eminence grise, the man with the (very) occasional grandfatherly smile -- is notorious for his propensity for secretiveness and behind-the-scenes manipulation. He's capable of anything, say friends as well as enemies. Given this reputation, it's no big surprise that Cheney has already asked for a backroom analysis of how a war with Iran might begin.

America was not built on fear. America was built on courage, on imagination and an unbeatable determination to do the job at hand.
