Sending British soldiers out on duty with defective equipment may breach human rights, court rules

Have a look. Think of all our guys ‘n gals in their substandard or nonexistent kevlar, lack of properly armored vehicles, all the misleading doubletalk they’ve received regarding the length of their terms of duty.

Hm-m-m. Has anyone ever sued the ‘pantygone’ before? how ’bout the nit in charge, not to mention his vice?

Seems to me, not just every little old thing can be passed on to the next administration.

Thoughts?

So many I wasn’t able to count them all. Really made my day.

You’ll need to flush the area with fresh water once the thistles die.

Is that an outgrowth of or prototype for s/w that analyzes behavior in other web-based participation platforms. Like, oh, blogs. Your friendly Pentagon coming to an FDL near you.

Meanwhile, Singel’s colleague, Kevin Poulsen, has a story about what our intrepid Justice Department is doing with resources so limited it can’t respond to Congressional inquiries about administrative lawbreaking or investigate rape, murder or fraud among US Government contractors in Iraq. It is hauling a movie maker into federal court for selling adult movies to adults in Washington, DC. The home of Abramoff and Vitter and Craig, and the sophisticated play ground for diplomats, visiting governors and big bidnessman knobbing with their lobbyists.

The legal standard the DOJ must meet to make selling these films illegal? They must be “obscene”, to wit, depict,

“patently offensive sexual conduct” appealing “to a prurient interest” and lacking “serious artistic, literary, political, or scientific value.”

I don’t know about you, or these films and those like them (readily available throughout Metro DC), but that definition of “obscenity” fits the Bush administration to a “T”. Could it be that the movie maker, John Stagliano, supports Democrats, or is this just a case of throwing one more victim to the lions in order to appease the mob and distract it from the fact that the emperor, not Visigoths or Vandals, is sacking Rome?

Because every day – another domino falls in his wake..

-GE just reported rare losses …”stunning investors”

-The Canadian Government, in “an unprecedented move” blocked an American company from buying one of it’s largest space equipment and satellite makers.

-The British Courts, in “an extraordinary judicial rebuke to the British and Saudi authorities” denounced the British Government for possible corruption in arms deals between the two governments.

And this, from America’s, and the Bush family’s, “bestest friends ever”.

“..Saudi oil minister rules out output hike, says crude to reign for 50 years
‘The price is not at that level because of any shortage in supply’

Just remember the inaction of our Congress when the oil company CEOS were brought to Washington “for a chat”.
Senator Jeff Binghaman, our ‘Chair’, asked only one question last time he got hold of them, “..How can we make Americans conserve more.”

George Bush and the Republicans did not do all of the damage alone…
Get out and vote for new Democrats -and throw out each and every one who enabled this killer!

At the top of my list..Steney Hoyer, Rahm Emanuel, Chris Van Hollen, Nancy Pelosi, and especially Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer – the double enablers of Bush’s policies and Joe Lieberman.

Public approval of President Bush has dipped to a new low in the Associated Press-Ipsos poll, driven by dissatisfaction with his handling of the economy.

Unfortunately, the little Preznit remains under the illusion that history will ultimately vindicate him and his pResidency. He’s not going to change now.
