Only one interviewee, the former Pentagon lawyer Doug Feith, expresses some distrust of him ("the problem with moral authority is people who should know better, like yourself, siding with the assholes") but even he cannot quite bear to show Sands the door. Instead, Feith sets him straight - by describing at great length just how central a role he played in sidelining the Geneva Conventions af

Life in Israel talks about how this was mentioned on Israel Radio. This apparently had what to do with that Olmert's going to Annapolis, and they were under pressure not to "embarrass" him while he was there. Can we be clear here? Olmert is not a legitimate politician due to his corrupt activities and the police should not hesitate to make an announcement about whether they recommend indicting
In reading the multitude of blogs, news websites, and TV telecasts, I have gotten almost every view, angle, opinion, thought and word about the Bonds incident.This is now my definitive opinion in a nutshell.This is a referendum on his personality, his arrogance and the way he's treated people. The feds are going after him likes he's Tony Montana from "Scarface", not some athlete who decided to juice himself up. That's the issue I have -- and I don't think it's about race, though it can come into play somewhat in the reaction of some people.Bonds is not a criminal mastermind, he's a selfish athlete who pumped himself up with drugs to gain a competitive advantage in sports. It's not like he supplied enough drugs to feed a small city, or pump out enough product to create an army of wanna-be juiced up guys.The U.S. Government spent millions of dollars and resources to nail Bonds. In the end, he may have the chance to spend more time in jail than Victor Conte or any of his cohorts co

(This is an article I have written for another publication - I'll probably clean it up and break it down, but read it below and let me know what you think...)***Thursday was a sad day for some; however, a good day for others.As most sport fans have heard by now, all-time home run leader, Barry Bonds was indicted by a federal grand jury with four counts of perjury and one of obstructing justice. I didn’t think this would come; alas, personally I thought he would have gotten away with it by now.However, it is now anything but the case. With the whole steroid debate being item one in baseball with the forthcoming results of the Mitchell Investigation, the indictment of Bonds marks the watershed of an era; however, the flood gates may be just opening and the worst is yet to come.With the prospect of jail time, a trial, and facing the court of the public with all eyes of the world on him, it is conceivable that Bonds might have played his last game ever in his career in 2007.It was a sad
Bernie Kerik, former New York City Police Commissioner (and Giuliani's recommendation for Homeland Security) is expected to be indicted on Friday for - among other things - bribery and tax evasion.

In the post directly above this one, I used the example of a runner called Sipho Ngomane to show how SA is losing out on potentially talented runners because of a desire to push runners into marathons and ultras well before their time. So in Sipho Ngomane, we have a 23 year old who was running 2 marathons, 2 Ultras and a half marathon in the space of 6 months. He ended up injured and is likely to never realise his full potential - he should be running 28 min 10km, 61 min half marathons and could have been our next world class marathon runner.On the other end of the extreme is Alistair Cragg, pictured right. Who, you might ask? Well, if you are South African, you may be interested to know that Alistair Cragg is the fastest South African runner ever at 5000m! Yes, faster than the SA record holder, but unfortunately, he was running for Ireland at the time when he ran 13:11 (the SA record is 13:14!). He has since run 13:07, making him the fastest SA runner by 7 seconds, but he was we

People of the United States, on this, the day we celebrate our independence and our freedom, bring down this lawless administration! We shall bring down this tyrant by affirming the very principles of our founding, the Declaration of Independence:We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. -- That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, -- That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.--Thomas Jefferson, Declaration of Independence, July, 1176We had the guts to take on and defea
Tom DeLay's Statement on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals Decision to Uphold the Dismissal of Indictments: "The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals today ruled that I was wrongfully indicted by Ronnie Earle, the Mike Nifong of Texas, on laws that didn't even exist. The court affirmed the decision to throw out the conspiracy indictments because they were based on laws that weren't even on the books. What Ronnie Earle accomplished is no rookie error - it's a political attack using our legal system as the primary weapon." "Ronnie Earle's politically motivated indictments cost Republicans the leader of their choice, and my family hundreds of thousands of dollars in legal fees. The damage he has done to my family and my career cannot be rectified, but the courts have recognized a significant portion of the injustice and ruled accordingly. For nearly two years I have been willing and eager to go to trial and with this ruling, we are thankfully closer to that day." "Ronnie Earle may think

E-GoldAs all of you should already know, e-gold was indicted on the 27th and 3 days later came up with this response. I thought the response felt like a statement filled with damaging insinuations that's going to bite e-gold in the arse in a court fight.There's still alot of uncertainty going on with regards to the future of e-gold, with the situation going nowhere clearer in the next few of months. In the meantime, it's business as usual for e-gold.I'm personally leaning towards taking the cautious approach and not hoarding much in my e-gold accounts, just enough to make the occasional gamble when the right situation arises.Club-FXTraderApparently 'hackers' got into the account and stole all the money. I don't have much vested here. On hindsight I should have pulled all my money out of this one last month when changes were announced. I've never taken this one as a real program and have always been treating it like a ponzi.I've never believed any program which promises a fixed

Heh, heh, heh. Our dear Mr. Bloom rants again, this time, in the March 12 issue of Newsweek. From "A Life in Books":I won't say [Shakespeare] "invented" us, because journalists perpetually misunderstand me on that. I'll put it more simply: he contains us. Our ways of thinking and feeling—about ourselves, those we love, those we hate, those we realize are hopelessly "other" to us—are more shaped by Shakespeare than they are by the experience of our own lives.M-mv on Bloom:Book wars (11.30.2003)Harold Bloom (10.28.2005)From The American Religion (Harold Bloom):This book, The American Religion, has lived mostly underground since its original publication fourteen years ago. Out of print, it still circulated steadily among readers increasingly aware of the intensifying strategic alliance between the Republican Party and millions of those I term explicit American Religionists. I bring the book back into print now unrevised, except for this coda to a coda. But then, how much has changed
In the following February 20, 2007 press release Colorado Attorney General John Suthers announced the indictment of Robert O. Bryant (pictured below) (DOB 10/7/1958) on 49 counts of securities fraud and one count of theft. Each of the counts is a class 3 felony, punishable by up to 12 years in prison and $750,000 in fines. “Individuals who commit securities fraud prey upon the trust and good faith of Coloradans,” said Attorney General Suthers. “Cases like this demonstrate that fraudulent activity will not go unnoticed, and responsible parties will be held accountable.”Bryant was allegedly involved in a scam that promised investors high rates of return on loans backed by deeded real estate. Bryant and his partner, Orange County California’s Salvatore Favata, approached consumers across the Front Range through California-based National Consumer Mortgage Company. Bryant allegedly claimed to represent individuals needing a loan with real property as collateral

Included are the Central Iowa Employment and Training Consortium's former Chief Executive Officer Ramona Cunningham; Jane Barto, the former deputy director of Iowa Workforce Development; Karen Tesdell, the job agency's former accountant; and Archie Brooks, the former chairman of CIETC's board.
The indictments were filed Thursday and unsealed Tuesday, shortly after John Bargman, CIETC's former chief operating officer, reached a plea agreement with the U.S. attorney's office. He appeared before Senior U.S. District Court Judge Ronald E. Longstaff earlier Tuesday and pleaded guilty to conspiracy and fraud/misapplication of federal funds.

As soon as I mentioned ethic cleansing within the GOP
, Tom DeLay joined the NBA Hall Of Shame (Nasty Bush Administration) : his fingerprints being all over corruption scenes (in favor of the then Governor Dubya), no new cast should be needed for his indiction into the Crawford based HOS.All members of the President's closest circles enjoy a criminal record now : in an unprecedented series of controversies, they all had to testify before a commission - and for the weaker links, to quit. All smoking guns point to a man who owes his pristine criminal record to his Daddy. But 41 cannot erase anything anymore and at one moment 43bis* will have to pay. The sooner the better.
*For those who missed the news : Bush Jr hijacked Al Gore's presidency and crashed the country against his own two wins towers. Amerika's leaders are corrupt, America is financially, socially and morally bankrupt.
