There SHE is, Lady Liberty! (dn2008-0410)

JUAN GONZALEZ: This is Jennifer Teguia, a pro-Tibet demonstrator in San Francisco, speaking before the torch relay Wednesday.
JENNIFER TEGUIA: There are some severe human rights violations going on, and they are being perpetrated by China. So I am here to make sure that my voice is heard that I am not OK with human rights violations.

And now live from San Fran, it's Lady Liberty! I love it! Mythic figures taking to the streets. See! Royalty aren't the only ones who can play god! We are all worthy of public acknowledgment of our innate Divinity.

Who says you don't see actual divinities, with the waking mind, has trained their mind's eye to go blind at the sight of Beauty Herself, dancing with her partner, Tender Manliness.

I mean it: as infants, we have to learn to use our sensory apparatus: we train our mind's eye, too, not to see unbearable things. O but we do! we do see them.

Our ability, to ignore the suffering of our kin, who is really our very self only spatially removed, allows all suffering to go on. We need some emotional callous, to be sure. Obviously, though, we Americans need to be far more open to the suffering from which we draw our lives.

BTW, Scott Horton is ending his daily blog, will you be doing a review or feature? If so, please ask ask him about his support and admiration for McCain. I truly admire Brother Scott. I can't fathom this one thing about him.

Zelikow Authored the US National Security Strategy, What Could He Gain from Myth-Jacking the Report?

Rumsfeld leaned heavily on the FBI and CIA to find any shred of evidence linking the Iraq government to 9/11, but they weren't able to. So he set up his own fact-finding group in the Pentagon, the Office of Special Plans that would provide him with whatever shaky connections it could find or surmise.

Feeling confident that all plans were on track for moving aggressively in the world, the Bush Administration in September of 2002 published the "National Security Strategy of the United States of America." The official policy of the U.S. government, as proudly proclaimed in this major document, is virtually identical to the policy proposals in the various white papers of the Project for the New American Century and others like it over the past decade.[It wasn't known at the time that Zelikow was the author.]

Detainee Interrogation Reports
Chapters 5 and 7 rely heavily on information obtained from captured al Qaeda members. A number of these "detainees" have firsthand knowledge of the 9/11 plot.

Assessing the truth of statements by these witnesses--sworn enemies of the United States--is challenging. Our access to them has been limited to the review of intelligence reports based on communications received from the locations where the actual interrogations take place. We submitted questions for use in the interrogations, but had no control over whether, when, or how questions of particular interest would be asked. Nor were we allowed to talk to the interrogators so that we could better judge the credibility of the detainees and clarify ambiguities in the reporting. We were told that our requests might disrupt the sensitive interrogation process.

We have nonetheless decided to include information from captured 9/11 conspirators and al Qaeda members in our report. We have evaluated their statements carefully and have attempted to corroborate them with documents statements of others. In this report, we indicate where such statements provide the foundation for our narrative. We have been authorized to identify by name only ten detainees whose custody has been confirmed officially by the U.S. governement.*

____________
*Those detainees are Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, Abu Zubaydah, Riduan Isamuddin (also known as Hambali), Abd Rahim al Nashiri, Tawfiq bin Attash (also known as Khallad), Ramzi Binalshibh, Mohamed al Kahtani, Ahmad Khalil Ibrahim Samir al Ani, Ali Abd al Rahman al Faqasi (also known as Abu Bakr al Azdi), and Hassan Ghul.
