This is a bit off of the subject but shouldn’t be ignored. The New York Times has put on their front pages another “expose” of torture by the US military. This should be nipped in the bud before they can stir up trouble for our men and women in uniform. Front page, huge. They really have become the enemy, the liberal press are full of Walter Duranty’s. It might be time to start writing to their advertisers and tell them what is thought of newspapers the have become the mouthpiece of our enemies, these people haven’t a clue to what is happening with the Islamic Fascist. For what it is worth, I wrote and told them what a bunch of traitorous rats I thought them to be.

To put this in perspective, the United Nations and its band of merry cut throats and enablers of genocide’s, rapes and the greatest theft of all time have never gotten this type of coverage. It should be noted just who they are apparently working for and it isn’t their country in time of war. Lets see some beheadings on the front page and lets see those planes hit the buildings again, let see those poor people who had to jump. The rats at the Time’s make me furious.

HA and I have been discussing the question you raised about Islam, way back on the May 15th thread “Damage Control at Newsweek”, if you’re interested.

I went back and read your discussion, and very much appreciated it. I think your differing views encapsulate fairly well my own thinking’s vicissitudes on this question.

Thanks.

I think people like Volcker get into these situations and then start cutting deals for information and trust people they should not and make exceptions to rules etc.

But I wonder if the state of NY can do anything?

You know it might be better if they could just lock up the Galloways along the way because if faced with the combination of thievery on a grand scale and diplomatic immunity it might end up being one more nail in the UN’s coffin.

More and more I hear people say the feds should just send them packing.

Honestly Roger, you are messing with something you don’t understand. You do not have a J-school diploma. You are using whole documents and named sources and not snippets of documents, or even forgeries, and”trustworthy unnamed sources.” You are dealing with the facts that you have and not working on things that are in the realm of possibilities and focusing on what might be true. This style of blog reporting is totally at odds with the New Journalism. You are paying attention to this silly UN kerfluffle and not concentrating on the most important story of yesterday.The President,thru his press secretary, actually asked Newsweek that they might consider presenting the truth about Army policy regarding handling of the Koran to help repair the damage they they partially contributed to with their story that they admit was bogus.One of the real Journalists at MSNBC came to the logical conclusion that what Bush has done is exactly like Nixon’s attacking the press for the Pentagon Papers. The fact that the Pentagon Papers were factual and the Newsweek story was bogus is beside the point.Granted the sourcing was weak but the primary issue is that you can’t rule out that it could have happened. Fact- There are prisoners at Gitmo. Fact-There are Korans at Gitmo.Fact- There are toilets at Gitmo. Fact= The point that we have Al Queda training manuals that instruct prisoners to make up lies and that specificly tell the prisoners to claim that the Koran and other outrages against Allah are accuring has nothing to do with the obvious truth that all the factors for the flushing story are there to make the story possibly true. Thats real journalism. Go back to school and forget those trivialities like verified facts. You have a wonderfull imagination, use it.

Ah, you’ve gone and noticed that this is just “a tale told by idiots”. There is no judicial remedy available within the United States for the acts committed by UN employees covered by diplomatic immunity. They are beyond our reach. In fact, the “diplomats” are beyond the judicial reach of any country that is a member of the UN. Kind of a cool idea, huh? If you’re a thief at heart, the UN is the place to work – and so – we have the largest thievery scam ever consummated conducted with impunity by scumbags in suits whose main attributes appear to be an ability to lie in French while picking pockets.

If our dear representatives were in the least bit concerned about the UN they would be clamoring for enforcement (or reenactment if it has lapsed) of the Helm-Biden Act. Or at the minimum, a refusal to proceed with the loan for the UN building refurbishment (John Hinderaker covers this boondoggle/theft). Instead we are treated to document dumps by the Senate Committee without an adequate and understandable framework having been constructed prior to the dump being conducted. Nice, if you’re looking for continuing publicity concerning the investigation but basically futile with regard to achieving any measurable result.

Measurable results will only be achieved by applying a tourniquet to the UN’s wallet. It should be done today and Japan should be invited to join us in canceling dues. That is the only course of action which will have any results whatsoever but our posturing Senate investigators have not (to my knowledge) even raised the issue. Forget the Senate investigation – they’re just teasing. Henry Hyde’s investigation in the People’s House is being conducted on a more professional level and may produce results. Watch Jeff Sessions in the Senate – he’s the only one making noise about the UN loan at the moment and he does possess a backbone.
