Great Quality but Can Improve Written By DonS, Cedarburg, WI on Tuesday, January 29, 2013 These headphones do exemplify a qualioty product. they are constructed well, package and travel extremely efficiently, are true to their charge specifications, and are a good buy. They are generally comfortable, but for a long flight (i,e, more than 2+ hours) still require you to shift them to avoid discomfort on the ears. The sound quality, both with and without the noise canceling turned on, is crystal clear and superior quality; although can be slightly light on bass in passive mode. The one item most concerning is that while they are exceptional at filtering out the airplane engine sounds, they are fairly ineffective at filtering out other ambient noises, such as passenger voices, the clinks and clanks that occur on airplanes, the annoying announcements, or the coughs and sneezes. Still, they do muffle enough to provide a good, restful environment allowing sleep or peaceful reading. Overall, a worthy investment. Pros: Compactness, sound quality, tangle-free cords, built in rechargeable battery (no fumbling with AA's). Cons: Noise canceling above average but not great, and not much else. Was this review helpful? Yes No AKG K 495 NC Written By DonC, BURBANK, IL on Monday, January 28, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Well worth the money - excellent quality Was this review helpful? Yes No Stylish but not much else Written By Searchy, Lawrence, KS on Monday, January 21, 2013 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) To date, these headphones are the best looking pair on the market. The slivery metallic hinges combined with authentic leather earphone covers makes a killer fashion statement. The swivel switch and green/red lighting are beautiful. Forget about Bose and Beats, these are what a Fortune 500 executive would wear. The case and accessories are top notch as well. The case is genuine leather that's so soft you'll think about getting a case to protect the case. I can spend all day enjoying the texture of the case, forget about the headphones! As much as I would like to stop my review here and just dwell on the case, I bought headphones and intend on using them. There are so many negatives that I will present them in list form for the purpose of organization. ***Design*** I have no doubt to the quality and longevity of the headphone joints. For record, the build quality is excellent. Attention to detail in the design was pretty thorough. You will appreciate the numbered notches on the adjustable band. However, the AKG K495s fail in functionality. Keeping the cans from bumping into each other, scratching off the paint, is impossible. Whether wearing them DJ style or storing them in the case, the cans will bump into each other and leave scratches. Folding them into the included case is an enigma. They cannot be folded such that they are symmetrical. Instead, the proper way to store them is little better than randomly tossing them in and hoping they fit. The metal joints also scratch Pros: the delicate insides, made of slippery nylon, of the case. ***Comfort*** These are one of the least comfortable on-ear headphones I've had the opportunity to try on. The leather on both cans, as previously mentioned, are exceptionally soft. They feel practically weightless upon your head. Unfortunately, the inner edge of the leather, where the leather connects to the mesh that allows sound to pass through, is hard and chaffs against your ear. Wearing them for more than 4 hours is unbearable. Cons: I thought they might need breaking in so I bore the pain and wore them for 50 hours. In the end, they were still tough and uncomfortable. ***Sound Quality*** Poor is the kindest word to describe the SQ. These headphones lack depth although clarity was exceptional. The soundstage was very limited, I was constantly reminded that the sound was coming through headphones. The bass in Passive mode was practically nonexistent. Mids were great while highs failed on me. ***NC*** Defective. Loud pop Was this review helpful? Yes No AKG K 495 NC (Factory Refurbished) Written By Anonymous, Westport Ct on Monday, June 25, 2012 Crutchfield Customer Review (What's this?) Better than Bose. Easy to ware although after 4 hours had to move phones so ears were not pinched. On off switch on left side is excellent. Noise cancelation is excellent and battery life is long. Love the cloth covered wires which do not knot up very much at all. 8 out of 8 people found this helpful Was this review helpful?

"A delicious sauce made with fresh tomatoes and fresh basil. A late summer delight!"

8 pounds
tomatoes, seeded and diced
1/4 cup
chopped fresh basil
1 large
onion, minced
3 cloves
garlic, minced
1/2 cup
olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
I've made this at least three times this summer with all the garden tomatoes and it gets better every time! Used fresh basil and lots of it and also kept seeds in and skins on. Very chunky and flavorful...especially with a little extra garlic! Also added a little dried italian seasoning. Will continue to make over and over!
Easy! I didn't have 8 lbs of tomatoes, so I made up the difference with green peppers, carrots and celery that were in the fridge. Threw it into the crock pot while I went off to do errands. The house smelt divine when I came home.

This sauce is like GOLD in my cooking repertoire...used for pasta and divine pizza margherita. Tip: An easy way to peel tomatoes to remove their acidity before cooking down: Make star slits with a sharp knife at the stem end of tomatoes, place in boiling hot water for 2 minutes then the skins just fall off. I just got a big box of farm fresh tomatoes given to me so we are in heaven this week!
This was a simple and tasty recipe. I made much less sauce, using these proportions: 3.5 big fresh tomatoes, diced and not seeded, cooked w/ 1 hot chili pepper and 1/4cup of basil. 1/2cup red and 1/2 yellow onions w/ 3 tooths of garlic in olive oil. Slowly, while the sauce was simmering, I kept adding another 1/4cup of chopped basil. Took about 2 hours and was fantastic.
A lovely celebration of the flavor of ripe, fresh tomatoes, provided you make a couple of small changes. One word was most likely omitted in the ingredients: Tomatoes should also be PEELED. If not, the peels separate and just become tough little indigestible bits. Before starting, simply blanch the tomatoes in boiling water for 30 seconds, then shock in ice water. They'll slip out of their skins in a heartbeat this way. Then, seed and dice. This step represents a big sensory improvement. Alternatively, you can just quarter the unpeeled, unseeded tomatoes, cook as normal, then pass the whole thing through a food mill. This results in a completely smooth sauce. The food mill removes all the skins and seeds. If you want it chunky, however, you'll have to use the first procedure. Another exception I took to the recipe was that in order to retain as much of that burstingly, achingly fresh flavor that exclaims "summer,", only cook for 20-30 minutes at the barest simmer. Cooking for 2 hours will result in a major loss of the fresh taste and the bright red color. See accompanying picture for a the color and texture of what this looks like when quick-cooked. A feast for the eyes, as well as the palate. As basil loses much of its fresh flavor, color, and texture when cooked, be sure to sprinkle each serving with more right before serving. Those minor changes will result in a superior product.
This was good, and a great use for all those tomatoes that needed used! I didn't seed them, as I don't mind seeds in my sauce, and like the previous reviewer, I did think it needed a bit more garlic, so I added some garlic powder before serving. Otherwise, a great recipe. Thanks!
Delicious recipe! Husband brought home baskets of tomatoes & had to use them quickly before they went bad. First time trying this recipe & was very pleased. The only thing I did different was add a little sugar to tone down the tartness & I added Oregano, fresh Rosemary, Marjoram, Thyme, & sea salt. Very flavorful & chunky texture! This one is a keeper!
It look a long time, but it was worth it. Seeding 8 pounds of tomatoes is no quick task! It tastes like pomodoro sauce that you get in the italian restaurants--very light but full of tomato and garlic flavor. It makes a TON, something like 8-10 servings, but that's good because my husband can take it to work for lunch. I highly recommend you try it!

The Ohio Attorney General's Office has had little to say in the nearly two months it's been since the criminal investigation of the killing of Jacob Limberios was stripped away from local officials and handed over to the AG.
The three witnesses inside the home the night he was killed have not been interviewed by AG investigators.
Mike and Shannon Limberios, Jacob's parents, were interviewed.
"It's been more than 520 days — of waiting, waiting, and waiting — for Mike and Shannon," said Dan McGookey, a Sandusky attorney who represents the Limberios family. "Every day it's difficult and every weekend is like three months spent hoping the phone will ring on Monday and someone, somewhere, will settle this question."
And the most important question — who shot Jacob Limberios — never gets answered, he said.
"I'm not being critical of the attorney general's office. I'm not telling them how to conduct this investigation," McGookey said. "But the physical evidence that does exist is the best evidence there is. Look at the autopsy reports, look at the tissue samples and make a determination about that. Did he shoot himself, or is that impossible as Dr. Wecht has said?"
"Stabbed, beaten, burned & zapped," a four-part special report in the Register, starts Wednesday, details the death investigations that other families endured when their loved-ones were killed.
Click here for the ePaper, for home delivery or buy the Register daily at a newsstand near you.
Wecht, a well-known forensic pathologist and attorney based in Pittsburgh, ruled Jacob's death a homicide after conducting an autopsy in September 2012. There was no stippling, or burn, where the bullet entered Jacob's skull. The absence of stippling, which gets imprinted like a tattoo, indicates the gun was not fired from close range, Wecht said, making it impossible for Jacob to have been holding the weapon when he was killed.
But a report of an autopsy conducted months later by Lucas County deputy coroner Cynthia Beisser tells a different story. Biesser, among other things, determined the bullet entered the right side of Jacob's head, not the left, as every other witness, emergency responder, deputies and others who saw the body have said. She also stated her findings were "not inconsistent" with Sandusky County coroner John Wukie's ruling that Jacob committed suicide but it might have been accidental.
Wukie never went to the home and made the accidental suicide ruling just hours after Jacob was killed after talking by phone with a sheriff's deputy.
Wukie and Beisser never provided the family any information or evidence that Jake committed suicide. No known information about what evidence led Wukie to rule it a suicide has been released by county or state officials, nor has an explanation been provided as to how the intentional act of killing oneself also can, at the same time, be an accidental, unintentional act.
Evidence from the crime scene was destroyed while sheriff's deputies were still inside the home shortly after Jacob was killed, and other physical evidence was not collected. Sheriff Kyle Overmyer, chief deputy Bruce Hirt and sheriff's captain Mike Meggitt, all were at the home in the hours after Jacob was killed.
Other emergency responders also were inside the home, in addition to the three witnesses, and it's not clear who destroyed the evidence.
Like Wecht, Biesser also didn't see any stippling at either the entrance or exit wounds, regardless of which trajectory is correct.
"Her report is inconsistent with the facts," McGookey said. "Her conclusion is inconsistent with her own findings."
The Limberioses are not the first family to question Beisser's conclusions in an autopsy report from the Lucas County coroner's office.
"Stabbed, beaten, burned & zapped," a four-part special report in the Register, starts Wednesday, and details the death investigations that other families endured when their loved-ones were killed.

Do you mean payout or player's pack? Last year's Dogfest had unusually heavy payouts for intermediate among others. I'd be surprised if anybody was payed out with PGA Superstore coupons.

I can speak for all of us Athens folks when I say we had a BLAST and really enjoyed the course...Being a pre signup only, maybe have payout figured out before the tournament so some of the longer traveling players can get on the road at a reasonable time (we finished second round at 5:45 and left right at 9). We know it wasn't anyones fault other than the spreadsheet!! Again, I really enjoyed myself and had 2 good groups. I'll be back next year, Thanks again Chris and everyone else who had a part in putting this on. How was the poker tournament?

6 Ways to "Gang Proof" your Kids
It always saddens me to see the faces of six-year-old children shown with the 17-year-old murderer they became. The grin of the six-year-old did not have the parenting or family support they needed to avoid the gang life, which was on display all around them each day of their life. A murderer is a murderer, and it is too late at that point to change the outcome. If parents become more aware and stand firm in support of their children, we can become a force of hope against the terrorism of gangs. Parent's, this article can help you gang proof your home.

Zelikow on "Legal Policy for a Twilight War" and an Alleged New Bush "Paradigm"
Marty Lederman
As noted below, the Times today reported on a lecture last month delivered by Philip Zelikow, Executive Director of the 9/11 Commission and, until recently, a close advisor to the Secretary of State. The lecture, entitled "Legal Policy in a Twilight War," was delivered at the University of Houston Law Center on April 26th and can now be read here.
Interesting stuff. I'm glad you bolded the portion of Z's speech that you did -- that's the single most overlooked issue in the whole "efficacy of torture" debate, IMHO. Sure, some good info will be obtained from torture; but why assume that we wouldn't have done as well, or better, without it?
Re: Z. on the CIA program, it seems to me that he doesn't *expressly* say that the CIA program was using "physical torment," etc. He's a bit more coy than that:
My own view is that the cool, carefully considered, methodical, prolonged, and repeated subjection of captives to physical torment, and the accompanying psychological terror, is immoral.
Good intelligence can be gained by physically tormenting captives. Some critics argue that physical coercion is always worthless and elicits garbage. This goes too far. Various experiences have shown that these methods can have value in breaking captives, and in doing it more quickly. But the issue of how to obtain intelligence from questioning captives is a first-class intelligence collection problem. In every sense, it deserves the same professional attention that the United States devotes to its most important and powerful collection systems – like those we use for signals and imagery. . . . The Israelis and the British have considerable recent experience with all the pros and cons, much of it a process of painful trial and error. . . . It is not evident that those who developed such methods, mainly at the CIA, drew on the available evidence and applied adequate professional analysis to consider it. From the evidence available in the unclassified literature, in 2002 the CIA had little organizational capability or experience in the interrogation of hostile captives. The FBI and other law enforcement agencies had much more relevant experience. The Department of Defense had some. Everyone knows the scenario of the imminent terrorist operation that can be averted with desperately tough methods. But the 'ticking time bomb' scenario is mainly the invention of scriptwriters.
Intelligence is usually more of a patiently assembled mosaic, where many pieces are usually missing, and leads are pursued to find more pieces. And even broken captives can reveal much, while hiding a little. The administration cites examples of people who have been caught or operations that may have been stopped. It would be useful to have a professional, objective analysis of such successes in order to determine and illustrate the contributions of various forms of intelligence. In such an analysis, the elementary question would not be: Did you get information that proved useful? Instead it would be: Did you get information that could have been usefully gained only from these methods?
The speaker largely answered his question long before he posed it, rendering the trailing question essentially rhetorical.
I would agree we could and probably have already learned a great deal in this area from the Brits and Israelis. I imagine a great deal of this has not been declassified in the CIA manual to which the speaker refers and to which I have perviously linked. The methods being used by the CIA did not come out of thin air.
I would disagree than most actionable intelligence can be gathered through months of patient assembly. When the enemy captures a high value target, our military and al Qaeda will assume that the target is compromised and has revealed what he knew to interrogators. Both our military and al Qaeda will adjust our operations in this anticipation so the enemy exploitation of the intelligence is limited.
For example, when we captured Khalid Sheik Muhammad, the CIA was not after his confession. They wanted actionable intelligence on the identity and location of enemy cells. If the enemy found out that KSM had been captured, these cells would be moved. Thus, time was of the essence if the US was going to exploit what KSM knew to roll up large parts of the al Qaeda network, which they did.
In March 2007, after four years in captivity, including six months of detention at Guantanamo Bay, Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — as it was claimed by a Combatant Status Review Tribunal Hearing in Guantanamo Bay — confessed to masterminding the September 11th attacks, the Richard Reid shoe bombing attempt to blow up an airliner over the Atlantic Ocean, the Bali nightclub bombing in Indonesia, the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and various foiled attacks. - wikipedia
note the four years of interrogation Bart. he was known as a notorious liar as well and was responsible for many a wild goose chase.
oh, yeah, there are allegations we tortured his children.
Ali Khan, the father of Majid Khan, another one of the fourteen "high-value detainees", released an affidavit on Monday April 16, 2006, that reported that interrogators subjected Khalid Sheikh Mohammed's children, aged six and eight years old, to abusive interrogation.[27][28][29] Ali Khan's affidavit quoted another of his sons, Mohammed Khan:
"The Pakistani guards told my son that the boys were kept in a separate area upstairs, and were denied food and water by other guards. They were also mentally tortured by having ants or other creatures put on their legs to scare them and get them to say where their father was hiding."
- wikipedia
at least they weren't sodomized, eh Bart?
In March 2007, Mohammed testified before a closed-door hearing in Guantánamo Bay. According to transcripts of the hearing released by the Pentagon, he said "I was responsible for the 9/11 operation, from A to Z." The transcripts also show him confessing to: organizing the 1993 World Trade Center bombing; the Bali nightclub bombings; and Richard Reid's attempted shoe bombing. He also confessed to planning attacks on Heathrow Airport and Big Ben clock tower in London, Pearl's murder in 2002, and planned assassination attempts on Pope John Paul II, Pervez Musharraf and Bill Clinton.[30]
On March 15, 2007, BBC News reported that "Transcripts of his testimony were translated from Arabic and edited by the US defence department to remove sensitive intelligence material before release. It appeared, from a judge's question, that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed had made allegations of torture in US custody". In the Defense Department transcript, Mohammed said his statement was not made under duress but Mohammed and human rights advocates have alleged that he was tortured. CIA officials have previously told ABC News that "Mohammed lasted the longest under water boarding, two and a half minutes, before beginning to talk.".[31] Legal experts say this could taint all his statements. Forensic psychiatrist Michael Welner, M.D., an expert in false confessions, observed from the testimony transcript that his concerns about his family may have been far more influential in soliciting Mohammed's cooperation than any earlier reported mistreatment

and isn't this just priceless!
On March 19, 2007 Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh's lawyers cited Mohammed's confession in defense of their client.[35][36] Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, also known as Sheikh Omar, was sentenced to death in a Pakistani court for the murder of Daniel Pearl. Omar's lawyers recently announced that they planned to use Mohammed's confession in an appeal. They had always acknowledged that Omar played a role in Pearl's murder, but argue that Mohammed was the actual murderer.
you might want to consider this Bart. pssst... it's from an expert!
Whatever the physical methods used with Mohammed, the experienced interrogators of American intelligence know that over time, building relationships and personal rapport are necessary to yield the level and sheer quantity of information that Mr. Mohammed has revealed. The benefit of torture is debated hotly, with some endorsing its use. But all high-value prisoners are needed for the quantity of their information, and such interrogations require time and rapport and negotiation. Torture changes the dynamic and creates obstacles to long-term quantity for those interrogators seeking immediate-term details.
and not to leave out AG Gonzalez's statements NOT under oath on March 7, 2005, roughly two years ago.
In an interview with three news agencies Monday, US Attorney General Alberto Gonzales denied renewed allegations that pursuant to an executive order issued after the September 11 attacks the CIA had flown as many as 150 terror suspects to foreign jurisdictions where they would be tortured. The New York Times published a story containing the allegations Sunday, picking up on individual reports and claims by former detainees that have been circulating for some time. Gonzales acknowledged, however, that once prisoners were turned over to countries like Egypt, Saudia Arabia, Syria, Jordan and Pakistan, whose various security services have all been cited by the State Department for abusing detainees, there was little the United States could do, although he said the US did require "additional assurances" from those countries that prisoners arriving there would not be maltreated.
The same additional assurances he provides to Congress and the country.
Gonzales must go.
One argument in favor of their use: time. In the early days of al Qaeda captures, it was hoped that speeding confessions would result in the development of important operational knowledge in a timely fashion.
However, ABC News was told that at least three CIA officers declined to be trained in the techniques before a cadre of 14 were selected to use them on a dozen top al Qaeda suspects in order to obtain critical information. In at least one instance, ABC News was told that the techniques led to questionable information aimed at pleasing the interrogators and that this information had a significant impact on U.S. actions in Iraq.
According to CIA sources, Ibn al Shaykh al Libbi, after two weeks of enhanced interrogation, made statements that were designed to tell the interrogators what they wanted to hear. Sources say Al Libbi had been subjected to each of the progressively harsher techniques in turn and finally broke after being water boarded and then left to stand naked in his cold cell overnight where he was doused with cold water at regular intervals.
His statements became part of the basis for the Bush administration claims that Iraq trained al Qaeda members to use biochemical weapons. Sources tell ABC that it was later established that al Libbi had no knowledge of such training or weapons and fabricated the statements because he was terrified of further harsh treatment.
"This is the problem with using the waterboard. They get so desperate that they begin telling you what they think you want to hear," one source said.
The CIA sources described a list of six "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" instituted in mid-March 2002 and used, they said, on a dozen top al Qaeda targets incarcerated in isolation at secret locations on military bases in regions from Asia to Eastern Europe. According to the sources, only a handful of CIA interrogators are trained and authorized to use the techniques:
1. The Attention Grab: The interrogator forcefully grabs the shirt front of the prisoner and shakes him.
2. Attention Slap: An open-handed slap aimed at causing pain and triggering fear.
3. The Belly Slap: A hard open-handed slap to the stomach. The aim is to cause pain, but not internal injury. Doctors consulted advised against using a punch, which could cause lasting internal damage.
4. Long Time Standing: This technique is described as among the most effective. Prisoners are forced to stand, handcuffed and with their feet shackled to an eye bolt in the floor for more than 40 hours. Exhaustion and sleep deprivation are effective in yielding confessions.
5. The Cold Cell: The prisoner is left to stand naked in a cell kept near 50 degrees. Throughout the time in the cell the prisoner is doused with cold water.
6. Water Boarding: The prisoner is bound to an inclined board, feet raised and head slightly below the feet. Cellophane is wrapped over the prisoner's face and water is poured over him. Unavoidably, the gag reflex kicks in and a terrifying fear of drowning leads to almost instant pleas to bring the treatment to a halt.
According to the sources, CIA officers who subjected themselves to the water boarding technique lasted an average of 14 seconds before caving in. They said al Qaeda's toughest prisoner, Khalid Sheik Mohammed, won the admiration of interrogators when he was able to last between two and two-and-a-half minutes before begging to confess.
"The person believes they are being killed, and as such, it really amounts to a mock execution, which is illegal under international law," said John Sifton of Human Rights Watch.

KSM was al Qaeda's operations officer and primary planner for nearly a decade before we caught him. I imagine, after we squeezed him for all the actionable intelligence we could get on active cells, that we questioned KSM for years as to all aspects of al Qeada and cross checked his statements with the statements given by other captures until we arrived at an approximation of the truth. That is how the game is played.
oh, yeah, there are allegations we tortured his children.
It is curious how you credit enemy propaganda as gospel truth and reject anything from your own country.
Ali Khan, the father of Majid Khan, another one of the fourteen "high-value detainees"...
As I posted before on a thread dedicated to this prisoner, Khan was captured just days after KSM and was likely a member of one of the cells which KSM gave up under coercive interrogation. Two previously convicted al Qaeda have also given testimony that Khan was a financial supplier for al Qaeda in the US.
and isn't this just priceless!
On March 19, 2007 Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh's lawyers cited Mohammed's confession in defense of their client.[35][36] Ahmed Omar Saeed Sheikh, also known as Sheikh Omar, was sentenced to death in a Pakistani court for the murder of Daniel Pearl.

It is priceless if the intelligence gained from KSM partially exonerates another falsely accused of doing what KSM did. However, you have to concede that the CIA's methods work to make this argument.
Whatever the physical methods used with Mohammed, the experienced interrogators of American intelligence know that over time, building relationships and personal rapport are necessary to yield the level and sheer quantity of information that Mr. Mohammed has revealed.
This is almost certainly true.
Coercive interrogation techniques are not the end all and be all of intelligence gathering. I have been arguing for months now that we should use the entire spectrum of effective interrogation methods short of torture.
The argument is not whether we should choose between hard coercive and and soft techniques. Rather, the issue is whether we should use all of the techniques available to us or just some of them.
One argument in favor of their use: time. In the early days of al Qaeda captures, it was hoped that speeding confessions would result in the development of important operational knowledge in a timely fashion.
It was more than a hope. Tenet confirmed it, Zelikow admitted it and there are other sources which have corroborated it.
However, ABC News was told that at least three CIA officers declined to be trained in the techniques before a cadre of 14 were selected to use them on a dozen top al Qaeda suspects in order to obtain critical information.
This paragraph is a red herring which has nothing at all to do with the effectiveness of these methods.
In at least one instance, ABC News was told that the techniques led to questionable information aimed at pleasing the interrogators and that this information had a significant impact on U.S. actions in Iraq.
I doubt that prisoners gave false information in only one circumstance. I am sure they frequently gave misinformation until their stories could be cross checked against one another. This is par for the course.
As soldiers, we were trained not to give any information rather than making up stories which can be cross checked and come back to bite us. If we are treated under Geneva Convention rules, this is easy to carry off for a long period of time. However, as is usual for our enemies, we are tortured, then we are supposed to hold out as long as possible before saying anything and then give vague general statements.
According to CIA sources, Ibn al Shaykh al Libbi, after two weeks of enhanced interrogation, made statements that were designed to tell the interrogators what they wanted to hear.
al Libbi's statements are a source of dispute within the CIA. The CIA does not have anyone else or other documents to cross check al Libbi's information against. That is the key to a successful interrogation.
His statements became part of the basis for the Bush administration claims that Iraq trained al Qaeda members to use biochemical weapons..
The key word here is "part." There was other information which has not been leaked and we have confirmed that al Qaeda's base in Iraq operated a chemical weapon lab along with Arabic manuals, NBC suits and atropine nerve gas antidotes.
waaaa, waaaaa, waaaaa...
bootlickling sho dew suit me!
some people jus' don' haf rights!
Bart, assuming my posts are correct, would you be appalled?
Bart said:
There was other information which has not been leaked and we have confirmed that al Qaeda's base in Iraq operated a chemical weapon lab along with Arabic manuals, NBC suits and atropine nerve gas antidotes.
So if this information has not been leaked, why are you revealing it to us now? Is this information on a par with the IEDs that were so proof positive of Iranian involvement with the insurrection against our occupation that it was delivered in Iraq by unnamed sources without the ability to verify the data.
I would disagree than most actionable intelligence can be gathered through months of patient assembly. When the enemy captures a high value target, our military and al Qaeda will assume that the target is compromised and has revealed what he knew to interrogators. Both our military and al Qaeda will adjust our operations in this anticipation so the enemy exploitation of the intelligence is limited.
You watch way too many movies.
Honestly the opinion of one political hack lends nothing to the argument that torture works.
"Bart" DePalma loves moving the goalposts (or "reframing the issue", or "begging the question", or whatever you want to call his specious form of argumentation):
The argument is not whether we should choose between hard coercive and and soft techniques. Rather, the issue is whether we should use all of the techniques available to us or just some of them.
No, the issue is what "techniques" should be available. If we define all "techniques" as available, that would include, for instance, beating people to death, crushing their kids testicles, raping their women relatives, etc.. They are certainly "available", and I'm sure some hack "law perfesser" from Boalt would be sure to vouch for their legality, some DUI shyster from Colorado would insist from here to aeternity that they should be used if they'd "do any good", and a bunch of Republicans in the audience of a preznitdential debate would get up and applaud when the candidates would suggest not only doing that, but giving them a couple gratuitous kicks to the nuts for good measure.
I really don't know any principled limit to what should be allowed once you adopt the Shutzstaf... -- umm, sorry, maladministration -- 'philosophy' on fighting the Great War On A Noun. In fact, it wouldn't matter if there was any, because the advocates have no principles (certainly not "Bart", as evidenced by this colloquy).
As I've repeatedly said, when the question is what the law should be on torture, it should be illegal ... and with a expansive definition of torture, otherwise phrased as:
"(a) Violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture;
(b) Taking of hostages;
(c) Outrages upon personal dignity, in particular, humiliating and degrading treatment;
(d) The passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples."
You think you need to torture, then go for it. Just be prepared to pay the price, knowing you "did a good thing".
I get the feeling that "Bart", lacking principles, would be the first to whine and bitch if he got his nuts kicked because someone thought it "worthwhile" or "expedient". But I can think of far worse crimes.
"Bart" DePalma toots the Mighty Wurlitzer:
[Garth]: His statements became part of the basis for the Bush administration claims that Iraq trained al Qaeda members to use biochemical weapons..
The key word here is "part." There was other information which has not been leaked and we have confirmed that al Qaeda's base in Iraq operated a chemical weapon lab along with Arabic manuals, NBC suits and atropine nerve gas antidotes.
A different person who also chooses the nom de plume "Bart" once said:
"The poster citing to an authority to make an argument, not the reader, has the responsibility to link to that authority if possible."
Methinks that Mr. DePalma should choose another nick so that people don't confoose him with that other guy that made a valid point once.
Prof. Zelikow makes some great points about interrogation, but I question his conclusions about the role of law and lawyers and about why (and whether) the U.S. has had difficulty selling the world on an armed conflict paradigm for its counter-terrorism efforts.
First, he mentions that the lawyers were brought in to do post hoc justification of the administration's interrogation practices, but then he does a 180, blaming bad interrogation behavior on the results of legal analysis - an almost unintended consequence of mistakenly placing lawyers (who do "can" and "cannot") in the role of policymakers (who do "should" and "shouldn't"). The how and why of the Justice Department's "torture memos" make quite clear that Zelikow got it right in the beginning, but then lost the thread of his own argument. The lawyers were not merely asked to give an opinion on the outer limits of interrogation legality. Instead, it all began with interrogators who were getting nervous that the techniques they were authorized to use constituted torture or lesser degrees of abuse amounting to war crimes. They did not want to risk being scapegoated, and so, the Department of Justice was called upon to provide them with legal cover.
The legal justifications for torture put forth by the "brilliant" (according to Zelikow) Justice Department lawyers such as John Yoo, are almost universally recognized by constitutional scholars as sophomoric. But criticism of the legal analysis misses the point. The official (and then secret) justifications of torture did not have to be correct. They served their purpose – to provide legal cover to interrogators who would rely on them – merely by existing. Zelikow's flawed analysis effectively, even if unintentionally, rationalizes a cover-up of war crimes.
Zelikow's analysis of whether the "war on terror" is law enforcement or armed conflict is also flawed. First, let me make clear that unlike some law of armed conflict experts, I do not doubt that a state can be at war against a transnational, non-state sponsored armed group, e.g., that the U.S. can be at war against al Qaeda. But Zelikow's approach is conclusory.
Rather than ask whether or not the indicia of armed conflict - the facts requisite to triggering the application of the law of armed conflict - are present, he begins with a series of statements alleging the inconvenience of a criminal justice approach, but not really analyzing the pros and cons. In a similar vein, he then chides other states for declining to accept the armed conflict paradigm (without citing evidence that they have indeed done so) because they are pacifists, or because they are hard-wired to do the opposite of what the U.S. does, or because they have not suffered like we have suffered. Still no discussion of whether or not the factual criteria for armed conflict are present: who are the parties? what is their level of organization? what territory is implicated? what is the frequency and severity of attacks? And if the law of armed conflict does apply because the requisite criteria are present, then what might be the temporal and geographic limits of its application?
When Zelikow addresses how the U.S. might have contributed to the reticence of other states to accept the idea of armed conflict, he focuses on antipathy to the unilateralist approach taken by the U.S. But he makes no mention of the possibility that other states, especially ones with more recent war experience on their own soil than the U.S., may be reluctant to climb on the "war on terror" bandwagon because they have a somewhat more respectful attitude for the laws of armed conflict than that exhibited by the U.S.
There is a familiar sub-textual suggestion in Zelikow's presentation: the law is unclear, or it is quaint, or the issues are not really legal ones. Yes, there are difficult issues: when does violence become armed conflict? how, if at all, do different legal regimes such as the law of armed conflict and human rights law and domestic law apply to targeting, detention, treatment and trial in transnational situations of armed violence that do not pit state A against state B? And within the U.S., who gets to decide these things? But there are answers to these questions for those willing to give the rule of law its due. And the lawyers who know this stuff can also articulate why the rules are the way they are, what policy imperatives they serve, and what the consequences of choosing to ignore them are. Prof. Zelikow, by seeming to divorce policy from law, or by elevating policy over law, misses an important step of first determining whether true comportment with law can suggest and inform rational policy options.
His invocation of the spirits of Stimson, Marshall (George), Roosevelt and Churchill – tough guys in tough times – to denigrate law is both inaccurate and ill-advised. In the First World War soldiers hors de combat (those injured, sick or who had surrendered) were likely to be killed on the spot or badly abused in captivity. In contrast, during the Second World War they stood a much better chance of being taken captive and treated more humanely - by the Germans as well as by others. The difference between the two wars was the promulgation, after World War I, of the Third Geneva Convention on the treatment of PoWs.
In 20th and 21st century warfare, lawyers in the U.S. and in other countries have played a pivotal role even on the battlefield. They vet target selection for comportment with the principles of distinction (military objectives: OK; civilian objects: not OK) and proportionality (weighing military advantage against civilian harm). This protects their own troops from exposure to war crimes liability and promotes the overall mission by controlling damage in the battle for hearts and minds.
Zelikow warns about the danger of letting hypothetical-wielding lawyers rush in where wise policy gurus should be making the calls. But the Administration has created such a harmful mess by ignoring the advice of its career military lawyers and instead, allowing its "policy" consiglieres to trump long-standing practices and rules that faithfully implement international legal obligations in armed conflict, such as AR 190-8, the regulation that implements the procedure for distinguishing between combatants and civilians in armed conflict.
There's something suspect in the phrase I once heard from Vladimir Putin - something about establishing a dictatorship of the rule of law. But while slavish kowtowing to law may be creepy, I'd still rather take my chances with a bunch of lawyers arguing it out in daylight, than with policy mavens who don't know the law, don't understand the effect of the law, and don't appreciate the larger purposes that it serves. And just because those policy ideologues use lawyers as their secret cloak, it doesn't make law the culprit.
Call me quaint.

Garner worked as a talent booker for television shows including Playboy After Dark and The Dick Cavett Show before joining Columbia Records' staff. She set up Columbia and Epic Records' first Nashville pop division in 1973, and she later joined Columbia and Epic's country division as director of A&R. In the late 1980s, she headed the Nashville office of Mark Rothbaum and Associates, working with Mark Rothbaum to manage Emmylou Harris, Kris Kristofferson, Roger Miller, Willie Nelson, the O'Kanes and Marty Stuart (the company became Rothbaum & Garner in 1989). The 1990s found her forming Bonnie Garner Management and working with artists including Lynn Anderson, Andy Griggs and Stuart.
In 2002, along with Mary Martin and Luke Lewis, Garner won a Grammy Award for co-producing the Timeless tribute to Hank Williams.
Made possible by the Gibson Foundation, The Louise Scruggs Memorial Forum honors industry leaders who follow in the footsteps of Scruggs, who was Nashville's first female booker and manager. Honorees are chosen by the Gibson Foundation and the Museum, and receive final approval from the late Scruggs' family.
The interview will also feature recordings, film clips and photos to illustrate Garner's life and times.

If there's one thing that ties all the staffers at Refinery29 together, it's our shared love of vintage. Sure, finding a cheap thrill at the mall or unwrapping a designer pump fresh from its shoebox can be really special, but we don't think anything can beat the feeling — the thrill — of unearthing a stunning find for $5 in a heap of secondhand castoffs, leaning in to read the label, and seeing Chanel…
For those shoppers cut from the same cloth as we are, the hunt, the products, and the community of vintage are what the rituals of shopping are all about. But, not everyone will be able to find a gem in the middle of a sea of broken toasters — there's an art to mastering vintage that, like all skills, needs to be learned and practiced. We hit up thrift oracle Amy Yee from Maeven Vintage to teach us a few tricks of the trade (plus, keep an eye out for an exclusive R29 Shops collab with her in March). So, strap on your fanny pack and pull out those Tide pens — it's time to get dirty!

Introducing Topman Design SS15, the premium catwalk collection showcased at London Collections: Men. This season's inspiration collides two iconic eras: the psychedelic '70s and the Britpop fuelled '90s.
Retro staples from both periods are updated for modern times, such as the oversized shearling parka and skinny fit suede fringed jacket. Also present are super slim silhouettes in vintage tailoring, as well as the forgotten favourite – flared jeans.
