LOS ANGELES - Robin Williams will guest star on "Law & Order: Special Victims Unit," but dont expect him to bring laughs to the NBC crime drama.


Williams is playing an "engineer whose life has gone terribly wrong" and who faces serious repercussions, series spokeswoman Pam Golum said Tuesday. The episode, which films later this month, is scheduled to air April 29.


After his breakthrough role on the 1980s sitcom "Mork & Mindy," Williams career has mostly centered on a mix of movies, including "Good Morning, Vietnam," "Dead Poets Society" and "Patch Adams." He won an Academy Award for 1997s "Good Will Hunting."


The "Special Victims Unit" episode with Williams, titled "Authority," is the shows 200th, Golum said.

Pennsylvanias Murtha endorses Clinton for president


(CNN) -- Rep. John Murtha, a former Marine and Vietnam War veteran who has become one of Congress most outspoken critics of the Iraq war, on Tuesday endorsed Sen. Hillary Clinton for president, saying she is "the candidate that will forge a consensus on health care, education, the economy and the war in Iraq."


"In 10 months, President Bush will leave office," said Murtha, D-Pennsylvania, in a written statement. "Our country is worse off today than when he took office over seven years ago."


He said he has known Clinton, D-New York, for 15 years and that "she continually reaches out for opinions and ideas, not just from our nations leaders, but from all Americans."

The American Assault on Democracy.


US declaration of independence

The United States was born out of a struggle for freedom, freedom from the British Empire, and it is this struggle against bloody colonial rule that has shaped American political discourse in relation to its foreign policy.


It is in the blood of all American Presidents to espouse support for this fight for democracy. George W Bush himself, a man who has spent most of his time in office at war, is indoctrinated with this belief that America is the chosen defender of freedom worldwide. ?It is clear that the future of freedom and peace depend on the actions of America. This nation is freedom?s home, and freedom?s defender.?


The reality is somewhat different, over the last 100 years the US has been responsible for, or had involvement with, the brutal and often bloody removal of 14 governments ? in Hawaii, Cuba, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, Vietnam, Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, Panama, Chile, Iran, Grenada, Afghanistan, and ? Iraq.

My Lai marks massacres 40th anniversary

Vietnam My Lai

Lawrence Colburn returned to My Lai on Saturday and found hope at the site of one of the most notorious chapters of the Vietnam War.

On the 40th anniversary of the massacre of up to 500 unarmed Vietnamese villagers, the former helicopter gunner was reunited with a young man he rescued from rampaging U.S. soldiers.

On March 16, 1968, Colburn found 8-year-old Do Ba clinging to his mothers corpse in a ditch full of blood and the bodies of more than 100 people who had been mowed down. Nearly all the victims were unarmed women, children and elderly.

Seymour Hersh, the journalist who exposed the massacre, said he sees parallels between My Lai and a more recent story that he has he reported on, the 2005 images of torture from the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq. But he says the public furor unleashed by My Lai was far greater.

The companys soldiers began shooting in My Lai that day even though they hadnt come under attack. It quickly escalated into an orgy of killing.

St.Patricks Day FOUR, lest you forget.

clippers remarks: ?As a mother who knows the preciousness of children, not just mine - but all children - I want the court to understand that before we walked into the recruiting station a million people had already died in Iraq from U.S. imposed sanctions, half of them children,? her sister Clare said earlier that day at her sentencing in Binghamton federal court.

I wanted to show my support for the actions of the St. Patrick?s Four (SP4). But nearing the end of a short but concentrated tour of presentations in New York?s capital area, I?d nearly decided not to venture to Binghamton for the sentencing of the group. After arriving there I quickly realized it would have been a big mistake not to have come.

Saint Patrick?s Four

By Dahr Jamail

30 January, 2006


The date is March 17, 2003. St. Patrick?s Day and just two days before U.S. bombs began raining down on Baghdad, 40 year-old Teresa Grady, her older sister Clare, Daniel Burns and Vietnam veteran Peter De Mott decided to take action against the impending illegal Anglo-American invasion of Iraq

The group of Catholic Workers from Ithaca, New York, known as the ?St. Patrick?s Four,? entered an Army-Marine Recruiting Center and poured their blood on the walls, recruiting posters and an American flag in an act of non-violent civil resistance to what they knew already was to be the first of countless violations of international law the Bush Administration would commit during their invasion and occupation of sovereign Iraq

?We are about caring for the poor, needy and disenfranchised,? Teresa told me

to sum up what the Catholic Worker movement was about, ?We do this while confronting the political and economic structures that cause poverty.?

Soft Shoe In Hard Times

Clip Source: www.nytimes.com

Everyone here is flummoxed about why the president is in such a fine mood.


?You know, I guess the best way to describe government policy is like a person trying to drive a car in a rough patch,? he said. ?If you ever get stuck in a situation like that, you know full well it?s important not to overcorrect, because when you overcorrect you end up in the ditch.?


Dude, you?re already in the ditch.


Boy George crashed the family station wagon into the globe and now the global economy. Yet the more terrified Americans get, the more bizarrely carefree he seems. The former oilman reacted with cocky ignorance a couple of weeks ago when a reporter informed him that gas was barreling toward $4 a gallon.


If only they could see things as the president does. Bush, who used his family connections to avoid Vietnam, told troops serving in Afghanistan on Thursday that he is ?a little envious? of their adventure there, saying it was ?in some ways romantic.?

Ex-Governor Cuomo - Hillary supported illegal war

Former New York Governor Mario Cuomo said the presidential race between Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama could be ``ruinous for the Democratic Party if the contest isnt resolved before the August nominating convention.

Candidates should be grilled on their Iraq war positions and how they would improve the economy, said Cuomo, 75.

The Iraq War, for example, is ``illegal, and candidates should be questioned on it in depth as a measure of whether theyre ready to be commander-in-chief, Cuomo said.

``The law is that the Congress has to declare war. It didnt in Vietnam and it didnt here, he said.

``Its relevant because the next president might feel like starting a war against Iran, Cuomo said.

Cuomo said he disagreed with former New York Representative Geraldine Ferraros comment that if Obama were white he wouldnt be a serious candidate.

Listening To The Enemy

clipped by: merrie
clippers remarks: Privacy concerns are not trivial. The Constitution protects against "unreasonable" searches. But even with law enforcement, where the main function is ex post prosecution, there are numerous exceptions to the Fourth Amendments warrant requirement. Yet Congress insists still on micromanaging the president ? and he, by failing to assert his authority early on, is now reduced to bargaining with Congress over minutia that will soon be as obsolete and dangerous as the underlying act is today.

John Locke, put it well when he observed that the foreign affairs power "is much less capable to be directed by antecedent, standing, positive Laws, than [by] the Executive." The Federalists authors, James Madison, Alexander Hamilton and John Jay, all agreed. The remedy for executive incompetence or recklessness in foreign affairs is political ? not legislative, much less legal. Congress, to say nothing of the courts, can no more manage such affairs than it can the economy.
Clip Source: www.cato.org
Intelligence is essential on the domestic side as well, where law enforcement is the presidents main function. Yet not until 1967 did the Supreme Court require warrants for electronic surveillance. Congress codified that a year later. But both the court and Congress expressly exempted foreign-intelligence gathering from the warrant requirement.

Unfortunately, the exception was not to last. Following the Vietnam War, Congress increasingly inserted itself into foreign affairs, as with the 1973 War Powers Act. With the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, passed in 1978, Congress began micromanaging foreign intelligence gathering. That produced the "wall" between foreign and domestic intelligence gathering ? with foreign-intelligence agents focused on security, and domestic agents on prosecution and hence on obtaining "admissible" evidence. Neither side talked to the other. Many believe the resulting communications failures played a role in 9/11

McCain still thinks Vietnam war good idea [!!]

clipped by: masbury
clippers remarks: "one of the few people in public life" who thinks so, says George McGovern. "anybody who cant see that ... I have some questions about where they may lead us in the future."

GEORGE McGOVERN: Well, I worry about John McCain. He?s one of the few people in public life that still thinks the war in Vietnam was a good idea. It was an utter, unmitigated disaster. And anyone who can?t see that after all these years, I have some questions about, in terms of where they may lead us in the future. He voted for the war in Iraq and not only thinks that was a good idea, he wants more troops over there. I think it was a disastrous idea and that we ought to be bringing our troops home, not talking about surges and sending more troops over there to be shot at.


So, rather than have Senator McCain still basking in the glories of Vietnam and still supporting this unfortunate war in Iraq, I think we need somebody like Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, who say, if they?re elected, they?re going to get the troops out of there.

AMY GOODMAN: And do you think they are?

GEORGE McGOVERN: Yes, I do.

Horrors of Viet Nam/Horrors of Iraq

clipped by: kkcapricorn
clippers remarks:
Hermann Goering, said,

"Why ? of course the people dont want war. Why should some poor slob on a farm want to risk his life in a war when the best he can get out of it is to come back to his farm in one piece? Naturally the common people dont want war neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood.

But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country."

More Money Flowing into Iraq

Clip Source: www.cnn.com
The flow of blood may be ebbing, but the flood of money into the Iraq war is steadily rising, new analyses show.

In 2008, its sixth year, the war will cost approximately $12 billion a month, triple the "burn" rate of its earliest years

Beyond 2008, working with "best-case" and "realistic-moderate" scenarios, they project the Iraq and Afghan wars, including long-term U.S. military occupations of those countries, will cost the U.S. budget between $1.7 trillion and $2.7 trillion -- or more -- by 2017.

Interest on money borrowed to pay those costs could alone add $816 billion to that bottom line, they say.

art.war.costs.afp.gi.jpg

A boy rests at an Iraqi refugee camp in June. Economists say its hard to calculate the social costs of war.

That total far surpasses the $670 billion in 2007 dollars the Congressional Research Service says was the U.S. price tag for the 12-year Vietnam War.

Lies, Lies, Lies are we gullible?

clipped by: skwirlinator
THE LIE OF THE CENTURY

There is nothing new in a government lying to their people to start a war. Indeed because most people prefer living in peace to bloody and horrific death in war, any government that desires to initiate a war usually lies to their people to create the illusion that support for the war is the only possible choice they can make.


President McKinley told the American people that the USS Maine had been sunk in Havana Harbor by a Spanish mine.

Hitler used this principle of lying to his own people to initiate an invasion.

FDR claimed Pearl Harbor was a surprise attack.

President Johnson lied about the Gulf of Tonkin to send Americans off to fight in Vietnam.

SO HERE IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO

US cluster bombs still blasting Laotian children

Clip Source: www.banminesusa.org
On April 30, 1975 Saigon fell to North Vietnamese forces, finally ending U.S. involvement in the Vietnam War.

From 1964 to 1973 the United States dropped 90 million cluster bomblets on neighboring Laos in 580,000 bombing missions?equivalent to one planeload every 8 minutes, 24 hours-a-day, for 9 years.


Up to 30% of the cluster bomblets failed to detonate, leaving as many as 25-30 million unexploded bomblets covering more than one-third of Laos at war?s end. It is estimated that there are at least 10 million cluster submunitions still littering the land.


In the years since, as many as 12,000 civilians?an estimated 40% of them children?have been killed or maimed, with hundreds of new casualties each year. In addition, cluster bomblets hamper basic food production and economic development in Laos, one of the poorest countries in the world.

According to the UN Development Program, at current funding levels the cluster bomb removal program may take up to 100 years to complete.

PEPE ESCOBAR, TRNN ANALYST: Theres a myth being spun all over the US and around the wealthy parts of the European Union?France, Britain, and Germany?that the independence of Kosovo is a great accomplishment, is a victory for democracy, and a successful accomplishment of US foreign policy

the whole soap opera involving the unilateral and illegal independence of Kosovo, immediately applauded by the US and by the three European Union giants, is directly related to two key things: oil and the expansion or the worldwide empire of US military bases. This means in detail the AMBO oil pipeline and Camp Bondsteel. They are totally interrelated.

The AMBO pipeline (Albania, Macedonia, Bulgarian Oil), which is an entity registered in the US, a pipeline that is worth $1.1 billion

Camp Bondsteel is also directly related to AMBO pipeline, because Camp Bondsteel was built by KBR, which is an Halliburton company as well. Its the biggest US military base built since the Vietnam War.
