White House Fights Hard To Keep Torturing But Loses in House
Mood:  on fire
Now Playing: McCain sticks to his guns and give
Topic: TORTURE
PAGE TWO of Washington Post article on Patriot Act click --> HERE for full article

McCain and national security adviser Stephen J. Hadley met yesterday morning on Capitol Hill as part of the negotiations on McCain's anti-torture legislation.

Congressional aides and U.S. officials said yesterday that McCain has flatly refused Bush administration requests to modify the language he has proposed or to water down the impact of the torture ban.




Despite McCain's unwavering stance, the White House continues to push for some exceptions for officials working in the U.S. intelligence services -- specifically the CIA. Sources familiar with the negotiations said yesterday that McCain and Hadley's one-on-one meetings over the past month have centered on the White House's request for some level of legal protection from liability for CIA operatives should they be found in violation of the standards.

Such an exception would allow interrogators to use a defense that a "reasonable person" would not have thought their actions were illegal, similar to what is available under military laws on following orders.

Defense Department officials have been debating the impact McCain's language would have on intelligence operations, and officials largely agree that the provisions are consistent with existing policy. They would put into law Army doctrine, eliminating a commander's flexibility to change the rules -- something members of Congress have been seeking after numerous reported instances of abuse.

McCain's language grew out of the Abu Ghraib prison abuse and the confusion that became apparent about the government's policies on the treatment of detainees. McCain -- who was tortured as a Vietnam prisoner of war -- has been seeking to provide congressional clarity to the armed forces and to other officials who interrogate prisoners.
A McCain spokeswoman said yesterday that negotiations are continuing and that he is opposed to any language that would undermine the intent of his provisions.

The impasse on the authorization bill is caused in part by Republican leaders being stuck having to make a difficult choice: Either go against the president and limit the use of some interrogation tactics or risk not having a National Defense Authorization Act for the first time in 45 years and in the middle of a war.

"I'm deeply disappointed that the Republican leadership has dragged their feet for weeks, unwilling to consider Senator McCain's language, which gained wide bipartisan support in the Senate," said Rep. Ellen Tauscher (D-Calif.), a member of the House Armed Services Committee.

"When America's servicemen and women are deployed in war zones, exposed to danger and possible capture, it is irresponsible to not make sure fundamental standards exist for the treatment of detainees," Tauscher said.

Is there Hope that some common sense is still smoldering from this TERRORISM Fire Storm?

Dear Senator Reid and Representative Pelosi:

It is incomprehensible that the Democratic leadership, after 30 months of war and occupation in Iraq, has not challenged the Bush Administration's deliberate low-balling of U.S. casualties in Iraq (not to mention refusing to even estimate the Iraqi civilian losses).

The Department of Defense counts as official casualties the fatality toll, but only those injuries incurred in combat operations. This criteria leaves out thousands of serious injuries, thousands of cases of disease (like Sandfly Disease) and tens of thousands of disabling post-traumatic stress disorders.

As demonstrated by a Sixty Minutes Program (CBS) last December, permanently and seriously disabled soldiers were very upset that they weren't even counted. Messrs. Bush and Rumsfeld should know how this definitional omission, clearly designed to diminish public indignation and polls against this illegal, costly, destructive, false-pretense military invasion and occupation, disrespects those military families.
Three soldiers in a Humvee were traveling toward their mission, tipped over and slid into the Euphrates River. Why wasn't the soldier, now a quadriplegic, counted by Bush-Cheney-Rumsfeld in the official toll?

The actual injury numbers are almost three times the official count. Then there are the soldiers with diseases and serious mental damage.

Again, why for over 30 months, has the Democratic Party not spoken loud, clear and often about this unprecedented Presidential discounting of so many U.S. casualties and in a war of choice, no less? Why did the Congressional Democrats not demand an investigation?

Why?

Sincerely,


Ralph Nader

?I think Americans should be concerned that the military, in fact, has reached too far,? says NBC News military analyst Bill Arkin.

The Department of Defense declined repeated requests by NBC News for an interview. A spokesman said that all domestic intelligence information is ?properly collected? and involves ?protection of Defense Department installations, interests and personnel.? The military has always had a legitimate ?force protection? mission inside the U.S. to protect its personnel and facilities from potential violence. But the Pentagon now collects domestic intelligence that goes beyond legitimate concerns about terrorism or protecting U.S. military installations, say critics. (end quote)

Now Playing: Explosion Fire Smoke ~ As 3 Million Gallons Burn !
Topic: ENVIRONMENTAL
Buncefield Oil Depot Explodes into Smoke and Fire as three million gallons of fuel burns up into the air.
The large images provided below are at MODIS? maximum resolution of 250 meters per pixel, these images were taken at one hour and then one and a half hours later on the initial day of explosion.

Soon after the explosion on Sunday the smoke plume was highly visible on satellite imagery, this is no longer the case. A residual plume from the remaining controlled fire is visible locally, heading in a southerly direction.

Check out Earth Observatory for the complete story

The extent of the smoke is easier to see in the false-color images, right, which were created using light from the shortwave and near-infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

In these images, the dark smoke stands out clearly against the brilliant green of the plant-covered land. At the source of the smoke, the intense heat of the fire glows in the infrared.

According to news reports:
The fire was the largest of its kind ever seen in Europe.
British health officials advised those living under the smoke plume to remain indoors. The smoke contains small particles, soot, that may cause irritation when inhaled, but no long-term health effects were expected. The smoke also contains gases like carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and sulfur dioxide. For more information about the health impacts of the smoke, see the Health Protection Agency Web Site.

~ 4 Days Later ~
14 December 2005
The bulk of the smoke from the fire at the Buncefield oil depot is gradually dispersing and diluting in the atmosphere. ( The Met )

**************WHO-WHAT-HOW **************

Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott has visited the scene of the blasts which injured 43 people, two seriously. In total, 20 petrol tanks were involved, each said to hold three million gallons of fuel.
A police investigation into the incident has begun, including investigations by anti-terrorist police.
But Chief Con Whiteley said there was "nothing to suggest anything other than an accident". The BBC's Gavin Hewitt said about 100 firefighters were waiting to attack the blaze.

PATRIOT ACT BATTLES

Now Playing: ACLU Letter saying No to Patriot Act Reauthorization
Topic: CIVIL RIGHTS
Here is just a small part of the ACLU Letter to Congress.
Link to full letter at bottom of this post after quote. You really need to read this!
A Very excellent letter indeed!

Dear Member of Congress:

On behalf of the American Civil Liberties Union's more than 550,000 members, we write to express our strong opposition to the adoption of the Conference Report on H.R. 3199 (“Report”), the “USA PATRIOT and Terrorism Prevention Reauthorization Act of 2005.” This legislation reauthorizes virtually all of the expiring provisions of the Patriot Act, fails to correct the most flawed provisions of that legislation, creates additional federal death penalties, and includes unrelated legislation that has other civil liberties problems. The agreement to provide a sunset date of four years for three provisions of law does not correct these serious substantive shortcomings.

Unfortunately, the Conference Report fails to fix the most flawed provisions of the Patriot Act, which became law only 45 days after the September 11 attacks. This law represented a significant expansion of law enforcement power at the expense of civil liberties. In the past year and a half more and more evidence has accumulated about the misuse or abuse of the Patriot Act’s extraordinary powers. We hope Congress will reject this bill and embrace the call for meaningful checks on these powers to preserve America’s legacy of liberty.

Nearly 400 communities, including the legislatures of seven states, have called on Congress to bring the Patriot Act into line with the Constitution. In this Conference Report, despite the tireless efforts of many Members and their staffs, Congress has squandered the opportunity to do that. We hope you will have the courage to cast your vote against the Conference Report. Vote for protecting liberty and privacy by rejecting the continued undermining of the Constitution’s system of checks and balances that the Patriot Act embodies.

Thank you for considering our views.

THIS GUY IS AS BAD AS ASHCROFT
"A TEXAN TORTURE PROPONENT"
AND CIVIL RIGHTS RUINER
And One of Bush Co Master Spinners

the following was copied from the washington post
Congressional Republican leaders will press for passage of a new Patriot Act to combat terrorism, but a Senate filibuster looms on a measure that liberal and conservative critics alike say is a threat to individual liberties.
President Bush is urging Congress to reach agreement on reauthorizing the Patriot Act _ a law that he says is essential to fighting terrorism, but liberal and conservative critics say is a threat to individual liberties.


But lawmakers in both parties attacked the measure. "This battle is not over," said Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., who complained that the bill lacked "adequate safeguards to protect our constitutional freedoms." He vowed to do everything he could, including a filibuster, to stop the bill from passing.

Feingold was the only senator to vote against the original Patriot Act, which passed in the days following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Now, four years later, lawmakers in both parties appear more willing to express their opposition, on grounds that the bill fails to protect privacy rights. Three Republican and three Democratic senators issued a statement calling for revisions to give law enforcement "the tools they need while providing safeguards to protect the constitutional rights of all Americans."
Under the measure announced during the day, law enforcement officials could continue to obtain secret access to a variety of personal records from businesses, hospitals and other organizations, including libraries. Access is obtained by order of a secret court established under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act. The recipient of the request for information is subject to a gag order that cannot be challenged in court, according to officials.
On December 12, a bipartisan coalition of senators introduced a bill to extend the expiring PATRIOT Act provisions for three more months, to allow more time to develop a true compromise that addresses civil liberties concerns.
