How Long Can the Country Stay Scared?. An argument against the current practices of the Department of Homeland Security. Schneier says that the DHS is “inadvertantly… achieving the same thing” as terrorists. I’m not so sure it’s entirely inadvertant. No one who has read Orwell can think so.
The votemaster,
as he’s known, is looking for donations to support electoral-vote.com. Seems like a worthy cause to me.
They must really hate him:
Ted Kennedy was put on the “no fly” watchlist and was actually prevented from boarding a plane. Even for a US Senator it took several weeks to have his name stricken from the list. If an activist got on the list in error I bet it would take a LOT more than that.
Howard Dean:
The Forgotten Crisis, Aug 17 2004.
Europeans cannot criticize the United States for waging war in Iraq if they are unwilling to exhibit the moral fiber to stop genocide by acting collectively and with decisiveness. President Bush was wrong to go into Iraq unilaterally when Iraq posed no danger to the United States, but we were right to demand accountability from Saddam. We are also right to demand accountability in Sudan. Every day that goes by without meaningful sanctions and even military intervention in Sudan by African, European and if necessary U.N. forces is a day where hundreds of innocent civilians die and thousands are displaced from their land. […] My challenge to the U.N. and Europe is simple: if you don’t like American diplomacy under George Bush, then do something to show those of us in opposition here in the U.S. that you can behave in such a way that unilateralism is not necessary.
Molly Ivins:
Oh, Canada: Trying to explain U.S. politics. Not that Americans have to explain what’s happening, just why and how it’s possible. “…Canadians are taking unusual care, even by their standards, to try to phrase their questions delicately. ‘You couldn’t possibly…’ they begin, only to break off. ‘Are you not aware of what…’ ‘Surely you realize how…’ But they can think of no polite way of asking if we are such freaking idiots we haven’t noticed the damage that has been done by the Bush administration to the American reputation all over the world.”
