Sometimes, it's just a matter of refocusing to see the documents, the statements, the acts for what they are. Such is the case with the torture memos that continue to emerge. Never has an administration – and hardly has a torturing regime anywhere – had so many of its secret documents aired while it was still in the act. Seldom has a ruling group made such an open case for its own crimes.

We're talking, of course, about the most secretive administration in American history – so secretive, in fact, that Congressional representatives considering classified portions of an intelligence bill, have to go to "a secret, secure room in the Capitol, turn in their Blackberrys and cellphones, and read the document without help from any staff members." Such briefings are given to Congressional representatives, but under ground rules in which "participants are prohibited from future discussions of the information – even if it is subsequently revealed in the media…" So representatives who are briefed are also effectively prohibited from discussing what they have learned in Congress.

A clean computer hard drive can be placed on the shelf as a back up. The infected hard drive can be wiped clean with a reformat. The computer can be started with the hard drive on the shelf and the old hard drive (infected but reformated) can be used to make a new copy for the shelf (a third hard drive can also be used just in case the reformat does not completely clean the back up).

The computer can then be hooked back up to the network.

If there is no 'back-up' on the shelf, then, a blank hard drive must have the operating system loaded from scratch.

The cost of down time for all the computers suffering from a 'virus' includes all the data lost (not backed up) and this 'cost' can be financial data.

Example:

Did you pay your bill on time?

How much money is in your savings account?

The term 'wipe clean' can be meaningless or meaningful. Exactly

http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Rumsfeld_hit_with_torture_complaint_while_1026.html

The filed documents allege that during his tenure, the former defense secretary "ordered and authorized" torture of detainees at both the American-run Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and the US military's detainment facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

The head of one of the groups responsible for bringing the charges, the US-based Center for Constitutional Rights, told RAW STORY today by phone that the suit was a long time coming.

"We've been working on cornering Rumsfeld and getting him indicted somewhere going on three years now," said the Center's president, Michael Ratner. "Four days ago, we got confidential information he was going to be in France."

Joined by activists, attorneys for the human rights groups caught up with Rumsfeld on his way to a breakfast meeting. "He was walking down the street with just one person," said Ratner.

"Around 20 campaigners gave Rumsfeld a rowdy welcome...yelling 'murderer,' waving a banner and trying to push into the building," reports AFP.

Ratner, who wasn't personally at the scene, says his sources told him that the former defense secretary made some pre-scheduled remarks at the meeting before ducking through a door leading to the US Embassy.

According to Ratner, France has a legal responsibility under international law to prosecute Rumsfeld for torture abuses.

"If a torturer comes into your territory," he said, "there's an obligation to either prosecute the person or return him to a place where he will be prosecuted."

The rights groups notably cite three memorandums signed by the defense secretary between October 2002 and April 2003 "legimitizing the use of torture" including the "hooding" of detainees, sleep deprivation and the use of dogs.

U.S. GOVERNMENT FAVORS DEBT RELIEF


 

A. The U.S. Government cannot 'favor'. The U.S. Government is a 'legal' entity having no capacity for any emotion, thought, judgment, and morality.

B. The statement assumes DEBT to be 'a matter of fact'.

B is worth further inspection. Who is held accountable for a bad loan?

Who is responsible?

 http://kineticreaction.blogspot.com/2007/10/confessions-of-economic-hitman.html

The assumption of corruptibility is a manifestation of half of (half true) game theory. The other half of game theory is 'cooperation'.

 

Here is a graphic illustration:

This is the fifth time Rumsfeld has been charged with direct involvement in torture since 9/11.

Urgent Appeal Filed Before United Nations Special Rapporteurs Because of French Prosecutor's Failure to Act on Rumsfeld Torture

 

Human beings don't apologize for torture; as a rule. It is uncivilized. It is evil. It is torturous. If the 'authorities' are torturing, then, they are evil. This is simple.

"This is about future wars, not Iraq," Jones told Cybercast News Service. "But the failed policy in Iraq has helped me understand that in behalf of the American people, in behalf of those children today that might one day be sent to war, that Congress must meet its constitutional responsibility, and this bill will help the Congress meet its responsibility."

Under the War Powers Resolution of 1973, the president must consult Congress within 60 days of engaging the U.S. in armed hostilities. If members do not authorize his action, he is required, by law, to remove U.S. forces from action.

The new Jones-Delahunt resolution would specifically prohibit the president from entering into future hostilities without congressional action except to specifically "repel and retaliate for an attack on the United States, repel an attack on U.S. troops, or protect and evacuate U.S. citizens."

Lovelock does have some suggestions on how to improve the situation. He suggests cutting greenhouse gas emissions anyway, as they may slow the pace of global warming. He also advocates saving natural forests. He still believes, however, that humans will have to adapt to the inevitable changes global warming will bring.

The average facility discharged pollution in excess of its permit limit by more than 275 percent, or almost four times the legal limit.

Vice President Cheney's repeated warnings that a second large scale terrorist attack on America is under preparation, with the support of Iran.
 

That is here:

How about a google on that?

Here is something:

How about Iran america attack?

http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Iran+America+Attack

Nothing new on Cheney conditioning the flock?

 In the U.S., under the Vigilant Shield 2008 war games (initiated in September, 2007) and the TOPOFF anti-terrorism exercises, some form of nuclear terrorist attack on American soil had been envisaged. The roles of Russia and China had also been contemplated. The latter would be “a likely scenario” had the U.S. attacked Iran and as a result Russia and China had decided to intervene. [34] Under Vigilant Shield 2007, held in 2006, the possibility of a nuclear war with Iran’s allies, Russia and China, had been contemplated in the war games scenario. 
Google for Vigilant Shield:

Other events will test USNORTHCOM’s ability to conduct continuity of operations and assess the readiness of the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, or Highyield Explosive Consequence Management Response Force.

From the Vigilant Shield 07 exercise scenario, taken from U.S. Northern Command (NORTHCOM) briefing documents dated August 2006.  The material in brackets is added by the author to explain acronyms.

Nemazee = North Korea

http://blog.washingtonpost.com/earlywarning/2005/10/nuclear_war_in_alabama.html

It's all part of a classified military exercise slated to begin November 1, an exercise that, with the inclusion of North Korea and a terrorist attack in the United States, suggests up-to-the-minute relevance. In truth, though, the exercise replays the same tired Cold War global nuclear war game that has been the bread and butter of the U.S. military for decades.

 

The dastardly country of Purple, or maybe it's a terrorist organization aligned with Purple -- the script doesn't say for sure -- detonates a radiological dispersal device (or "dirty" nuclear bomb) onboard a merchant ship located on the Mobile waterfront. The President is in Mobile, leading a summit of world leaders addressing a tense escalation of global tensions.

Mr. Bush, as God knows best, is no Augustine; but Freeman points to the latter as the epitome of a more general process that was underway in the fourth century: namely, ‘the gradual subjection of reason to faith and authority.’ This is what we are seeing today, and it is a process that no society can undergo and still remain free. Yet it is a process of which administration officials, along with much of the American population, are aggressively proud.” In fact, close observers of this odd presidency note that Bush, like his evangelical base, believes he is on a mission from God and that faith trumps empirical evidence. Berman quotes a senior White House adviser who disdains what he calls the “reality-based” community, to which Berman sensibly responds: “If a nation is unable to perceive reality correctly, and persists in operating on the basis of faith-based delusions, its ability to hold its own in the world is pretty much foreclosed.”

Third Attack Strategy

The third and most dangerous strategy used by the Bush administration is to sanction a covert mission that would create the necessary political environment for a war against Iran. This is arguably best evidenced in the infamous B-52 ‘Bent Spear’ incident on August 30, 2007 where five (later changed to six) nuclear armed cruise missiles were found en route to the Middle East for a covert mission. http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_michael__071020_the_b_52_incident__96_.htm  The nuclear warheads had adjustable yields of between 5 to 150 kilotons, and would have been ideal for use against Iran’s underground nuclear facilities or in a false flag operation that would be blamed on Iran. According to confidential sources, the covert mission involving the B-52 was to coincide with Israel’s September 6 military strike against a Syrian military facility http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_wayne_ma_070928_news_of_b_52_nukes_l.htm . However, Air Force personnel stood down ‘illegal’ orders that most likely came from the White House, and averted what could have been the detonation of one or more nuclear devices in the Persian Gulf region. There is much evidence to believe that ultimate responsibility for the B-52 incident can be traced to the office of the Vice President. http://www.opednews.com/articles/opedne_michael__070907_was_a_covert_attempt.htm Due to the Bush administration’s authority directly order military units to participate in covert missions regardless of their legality, the possibility that a covert mission will be used to provoke a war with Iran remains high.

Detention Centers

    Plus, there was that curious development in January when the Army Corps of Engineers awarded Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg Brown & Root a $385 million contract to construct detention centers somewhere in the United States, to deal with "an emergency influx of immigrants into the US, or to support the rapid development of new programs," KBR said.
