PATH: BS | Terroir-ism Cheney Pimps Out To The Tune of $5B More Posted by Pile (7839 views) [E-Mail link] [Terroir-ism] The U.S. military has signed on Halliburton to do nearly $5 billion in new work in Iraq under a giant logistics contract that has so far earned the Texas-based firm $9.1 billion, the Army said on Wednesday. No conflict of interests here obviously. Better to give Halliburton $5 Billion than treat the veterans with better healthcare or give the soldiers armor and stuff they need. No word if any of that money will go to China for more "Support Our Troops" bumper stickers. READ MORE US Bombs Area Where Special Ops Team Disappeared Posted by Pile (7997 views) [E-Mail link] [Terroir-ism] American warplanes bombed a suspected Taliban compound in an area where an elite U.S. military team has been missing for five days in the mountains of eastern Afghanistan, a U.S. military spokesman said Saturday. Francis Ford Coppola unavailable for comment. READ MORE Supreme Court: You Don't Own Your Own Land Anymore Posted by Pile (8269 views) [E-Mail link] [Terroir-ism] The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that local governments may seize people's homes and businesses — even against their will — for private economic development. It was a decision fraught with huge implications for a country with many areas, particularly the rapidly growing urban and suburban areas, facing countervailing pressures of development and property ownership rights. The judges that voted that if some developer can claim taking your property will "create jobs" or help the community, they can: John Paul Stevens, Justice Anthony Kennedy, David H. Souter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Stephen G. Breyer. Your supreme court at work, protecting your rights.

Yesterday's disclosure led to calls by MPs for a full statement to the Commons and opened ministers to allegations that they held back the facts until after the general election. Despite persistent rumours of injuries among Iraqis consistent with the use of incendiary weapons such as napalm, Adam Ingram, the Defence minister, assured Labour MPs in January that US forces had not used a new generation of incendiary weapons, codenamed MK77, in Iraq. Unfortunately, the English weren't told the truth and unknowingly violated several international weapons treaties. The MK77 bombs, an evolution of the napalm used in Vietnam and Korea, carry kerosene-based jet fuel and polystyrene so that, like napalm, the gel sticks to structures and to its victims. The bombs lack stabilising fins, making them far from precise.

READ MORE British: Let's Get This Straight On Terrorism and Lies Posted by Pile (8133 views) [E-Mail link] [Terroir-ism] George Galloway is a member of Parliament for Bethnal Green and Bow and stands (falsely) accused by conservative US senators of taking bribes from Iraq in an oil-for-food scandal. His statement before the US Senate is a truly righteous, withering, and devastating critique of the US position in Iraq: I told the world that Iraq, contrary to your claims did not have weapons of mass destruction. I told the world, contrary to your claims, that Iraq had no connection to al-Qaeda. I told the world, contrary to your claims, that Iraq had no connection to the atrocity on 9/11 2001. I told the world, contrary to your claims, that the Iraqi people would resist a British and American invasion of their country and that the fall of Baghdad would not be the beginning of the end, but merely the end of the beginning. Senator, in everything I said about Iraq, I turned out to be right and you turned out to be wrong and 100,000 people paid with their lives; 1600 of them American soldiers sent to their deaths on a pack of lies; 15,000 of them wounded, many of them disabled forever on a pack of lies.

There's clearly an array of double standards among the US and Uzbekistan over their alignment with the US in the "war on terror" while at the same time terrorizing their own people and obtaining more than $79 Million in funding from the US. This is also the country that boils people alive, and is a suspected source where US deports prisoners for torture that they cannot legally perform themselves.

I was stunned and said to him: "You shot an unarmed man behind barbed wire for throwing a stone." He said, "Well, I knelt down. I said a prayer, stood up and gunned them all down." READ MORE Microsoft Funds Research Claiming It's More Secure Than Linux Posted by Pile (10139 views) [E-Mail link] [Dubious Research] Two researchers surprised the audience at a computer-security convention last month with their finding that a version of Microsoft Windows was more secure than a competing Linux operating system. This week, the researchers released their finished report, and it included another surprise: Microsoft was funding the project all along.
