It's nicely organized for you by country.

British lawyer for detainees charges that the U.S. is 'holding 27,000 in secret overseas prisons.'

This is what happens when proper elections are thwarted and the will of a countries people are ignored.

'27,000 in secret overseas prisons.'

Main Core - More information on the Total Information Awareness Program comes to light.

Remember that Halliburton subsidiary Kellogg, Brown and Root had been awarded a $385 million dollar contract by Homeland Security to construct detention and processing facilities in the event of a national emergency? Well, guess how Chimpy is going to fill the Gulag?

"There exists a database of Americans, who, often for the slightest and most trivial reason, are considered unfriendly, and who, in a time of panic, might be incarcerated. The database can identify and locate perceived 'enemies of the state' almost instantaneously."

Ketcham goes on to explain that the Bush Administration was cross-referencing Main Core with its warrantless wiretap program. I'm not entirely clear whether Ketcham is saying BushCo used Main Core to come up with potential targets of warrantless wiretapping, or whether they used the warrantless wiretapping intercepts to add to Main Core--I think, but am not positive--it's the latter.

This is wholesale slaughter and elimination of FISA, and the constitution. As Digby notes, I could be wrong, but I would guess offhand that liberal bloggers and their readers might be among the future inhabitants of such gulags.

Everything you say and do goes into Main Core

The e-mail addresses you send to and receive from, and the subject lines of those messages; the phone numbers you dial, the numbers that dial in to your line, and the durations of the calls; the Internet sites you visit and the keywords in your Web searches; the destinations of the airline tickets you buy; the amounts and locations of your ATM withdrawals; and the goods and services you purchase on credit cards. All of this information is archived on government supercomputers and, according to sources, also fed into the Main Core database.

Main Core also allegedly draws on four smaller databases that, in turn, cull from federal, state, and local "intelligence" reports; print and broadcast media; financial records; "commercial databases"; and unidentified "private sector entities." Additional information comes from a database known as the Terrorist Identities Datamart Environment, which generates watch lists from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence for use by airlines, law enforcement, and border posts.

Read the Radar story yourself. The scope of ChimpCo's crimes will take your breath away. To Quote DIgby again:
It's not a stretch to think that under pressure, any government could, (*ahem*) overreach just a tad and decide that certain political undesirables need to be dealt with. If they've built the capability, there is every chance they will use it. It's how these things work.

What's this got to do with Total Information Awareness? The TIA Program was part of the US Information Awareness Office from February to May 2003, when it was renamed Terrorism Information Awareness Program Following public criticism that the development and deployment of these technologies could potentially lead to a mass surveillance system, the IAO was defunded by Congress in 2003, although several of the projects run under IAO have continued under different funding.

Well, apparently, it went ahead with out Justice department approval and was funded anyway. Read what the unamerican commies at the ACLU said about this in 2003.

To sum up, the most unpopular US president ever, makes the biggest strategic failure in US history, and maybe is also the biggest federal criminal ever.

Phyllis Schlafly is a sick twisted fuck.

The bitch led a feminist life, and embraced her oppressors. Isn't that called the Stockholm Syndrome? Why has this silly bitch been allowed to exceed her 15 minutes?
By the time she married Fred Schlafly, a prominent St. Louis lawyer, in 1949, she had put herself through Washington University working full time as an ammunition tester, firing rifles and machine guns for the war effort. She had also completed a master's in political science at Harvard. Her mother, a librarian, had supported the family during the Depression, when her father was unable to find work. "I grew up believing that I should support myself," Mrs. Schlafly said.

Chimpy makes the ultimate sacrifice. The ultimate. No one has ever sacrificed more, than Chimpy. No one. Ever. God bless the wise, beautiful leader.

E-mail from VA worker says to avoid PTSD diagnosis

The US Gov't may give you a medal for it, just don't ask for treatment, you whiny sniveling losers.

An internal e-mail written by a Veterans Affairs Department employee suggested avoiding a diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder for veterans and instead considering a diagnosis that might result in a lower disability payment.

A copy of the e-mail was distributed Thursday by the groups Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington, a congressional watchdog group, and VoteVets.org. The e-mail dated March 20 had been forwarded to VoteVets.org, an Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans lobbying group opposed to the Bush administration’s handling of the war and veterans issues.

“Given that we are having more and more compensation seeking veterans, I’d like to suggest that we refrain from giving a diagnosis of PTSD straight out. Consider a diagnosis of Adjustment Disorder, R/O PTSD,” the e-mail said.

It also said, “Additionally, we really don’t or have time to do the extensive testing that should be done to determine PTSD.”

Douglas Feith does not do his race justice. He is a dumb mother fucker.

Why is it that all right wing neocons seem to be such Frank Burns (Think M*A*S*H) pussies? The glasses, the stut-stut-stuttering, the general feeling like the pansies should have gotten their asses kicked more in high school? Why is it that I get the feeling that neocon assholes never picked up an icky gun before and got deferments instead?

Just Askin'.

Shut the fuck you, you ignorant, evil, murderous piece of shit.

You have to admit, saying "I gave up golf" must have a real special meaning to the person keeping the flag that once covered the coffin of their child.

War Crimes defendant George W Bush authorized hundreds of foreigners it has deported with dangerous psychotropic drugs

The U.S. government has injected hundreds of foreigners it has deported with dangerous psychotropic drugs against their will to keep them sedated during the trip back to their home country, according to medical records, internal documents and interviews with people who have been drugged.

"It's a good story, but it's wrong. No amount of America firepower could have crushed the North Vietnamese people's will."

"We lost the war -- not because we were outfought, but because we were out Psyoped,"

This belief in the need to "avoid Vietnam" by manipulating domestic political support for the Iraq war was pervasive at the Pentagon.

He urged a radically new approach to psychological operations in future wars -- taking aim at not just foreign adversaries but domestic audiences, too. He called his approach "MindWar" -- using network TV and radio to "strengthen our national will to victory."

This is Perception Management conducted by the US government. And it's illegal. The US is being played. As Robin Williams says, it's not just a sin, it's a felony. The worst part is, "It's a good story, but it's wrong. No amount of America firepower could crush the Iraqi people's will." The US is doomed to fail in Iraq just as it was in vietnam.

The silly bitch finally attacks the enemy of Americans

Although U.S. Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton hasn't given up her fight in the Democratic presidential contest, she aimed her sharpest rhetoric Friday at Republicans — specifically President Bush

Senate minority republican: We voted against the Mothers day bill, in order to go on record as supporting mothers day.

Typical republican asshole bullshit. Fuck you Senator Boner.

When asked why the GOP switched their votes, House Minority Leader John Boehner (R-OH) said, “Oh, we just wanted to make sure that everyone was on record in support of Mother’s Day.” (Even though he also was actually on record against Mother’s Day.) The Washington Post’s Dana Milbank reports that this move was a procedural tactic to “bring the House to a standstill.”

Rumsfeld blames the generals for poor pre-war planning.

Never mind that Shinseki famously predicted that “several hundred thousand” troops would be needed for post-war hostilities in Iraq and was fired and humiliated for suggesting it.

RUMSFELD: Now, it turns out he [Shinkseki] was right. The commanders–you guys ended up wanting roughly the same as you had for the major combat operation, and that’s what we have. There is no damned guidebook that says what the number ought to be. We were queued up to go up to what, 400-plus thousand.

Q: Yes, they were already in queue.

RUMSFELD: They were in the queue. We would have gone right on if they’d wanted them, but they didn’t, so life goes on.

Rumsfeld. Seems the piece of shit coward can't take responsibility for the worst strategic failure in US history. Remember this?

Mr Rumsfeld publicly repudiated him, saying he was "far off the mark".In semi-private, the Pentagon's civilian leadership was far more scathing. A "senior administration official" told the Village Voice newspaper that Gen Shinseki's remark was "bullshit from a Clintonite enamoured of using the army for peacekeeping and not winning wars".
