Two companies actually advised us that they were discontinuing and we are just deducing a few others might have also since we don’t hear their advertisements any longer. Also, it might be wishful thinking, but it seems Baker even talked a tad nicer this week. He really didn’t bring up the same story again and was careful to only refer to the “anarchists” instead of us other “stinky protesters” when disparaging. So,…who knows, but we might have had a bit of an impact. Of course we haven’t heard anything from FCC. I e-mailed a couple people trying to get a more scholarly debate set up which would be the most constructive way of airing this even better but haven’t heard back.Coleen Rowleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06718576339909006655noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-89506910050542166282008-04-08T19:13:00.000-07:002008-04-08T19:13:00.000-07:00You must have order, you cannot have a civilized s...<i>You must have order, you cannot have a civilized society without order and if that means cracking a few skulls, so be it...a good ole boy network is what you need and hand out some ax handles.</i><br><br>Didn't I read this in <i>Mein Kampf</i>?Stella by Starlighthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16385761338190877425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-46550907061517370432008-04-07T19:15:00.000-07:002008-04-07T19:15:00.000-07:00Thanks, Avidor, for the link!Thanks, Avidor, for the link!Vigilantehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07640246609540057997noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-42754348607506103592008-04-07T17:58:00.000-07:002008-04-07T17:58:00.000-07:00Vig, thanks for the intro to LBill.

Many times I have been surprised by the brazen comments by some of my right wing co-workers concerning basic rights. When the recent demonstrations by Hindu monks in Burma were being attacked by the police I caught one of the guys I work with saying something to the affect that the demonstrators deserved to have their heads bashed in for causing trouble. Baker's comments and my co-workers ignorance seem a fertile ground for fascism.Beach Bumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11000824454124236774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-2094557407040753072008-04-07T16:52:00.000-07:002008-04-07T16:52:00.000-07:00Video and DU Discussion<a href="http://tinyurl.com/4pv52t" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Video and DU Discussion</a>Avidorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16850327519402438923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8356601405469434111.post-47638887639210927942008-04-07T12:36:00.000-07:002008-04-07T12:36:00.000-07:00Vig, If I could only think up a prize worthy of Co...Vig, If I could only think up a prize worthy of Coleen's heroism I would give it to her.

In January of 1981, Coleen was appointed a Special Agent with the FBI. In May of 2002 Rowley brought some of the pre 9-11 lapses to light and testified to the Senate Judiciary Committee about some of the endemic problems facing the FBI and the intelligence community. The Rowley memo to FBI Director Robert Mueller in connection with the Joint Intelligence Committee's Inquiry led to a two year long Department of Justice Inspector General investigation. She was one of three whistleblowers chosen as persons of the year by TIME magazine.<br><br>In April 2003, following an unsuccessful and highly criticized attempt to warn the Director and other administration officials about the dangers of launching the invasion of Iraq, Rowley stepped down from her (GS-14) legal position to go back to being a (GS-13) FBI Special Agent. She retired from the FBI at the end of 2004. <br><br>In February 2005, a majority of Minnesota congresspersons and senators nominated Coleen Rowley to serve on the Privacy and Civil Liberties Oversight Board but she was not selected by the Bush Administration. This Board was mandated by 2004 federal intelligence reform legislation implementing the recommendations of the 9-11 Commission.<br><br>Rowley has authored a chapter in a book published by the Milton Eisenhower Foundation entitled, <a href="http://books.google.com/books?hl=en&id=luzfw0Ea2PAC&dq=Patriotism,+Democracy+and+Common+Sense:+Restoring+America's+Promise+at+Home+and+Abroad.&printsec=frontcover&source=web&ots=MZme0h2Mqy&sig=7eOV19OVb6Ojhu-0l3pwGTno3CI" rel="nofollow" rel="nofollow">Patriotism, Democracy and Common Sense: Restoring America's Promise at Home and Abroad</a>.
