Hmm, two for the price of one. Too bad Davis’ victims weren’t female. It would have been a bargain under Pakistani law.

That might explained why recruiting standards have been modified to make those with those with prior criminal records eligible for military service.
In the not too distant future, a prior criminal record may be a prerequisite for military service.

certainly, doj/fbi under bush and now obama, has become the most ruthless, brutally soviet, of all the federal agencies involved in “security” matters for the nation.
Did not the incoming president have the opportunity to clean house and replace all the US attorneys general as is the tradition, but for some reason decided to break precedent and not do so?

BillyP commented on the diary post Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker Gets Punked by Fake Koch [Updated] by twolf1.
Reviewing a transcript of the opening statement of the chief U.S. counsel in the Nuremberg Trials, we found the Nazis: Seized all funds of labor unions and arrested union leaders, sending them to concentration camps. Ordered that no workers organizations, except ones created by Hitler, would exist. Replaced collective bargaining with Hitler-appointed “trustees” to regulate the [...]

Sounds like the Guardian has become the mouthpiece for certain interests on this side of the Atlantic, setting the table for the next course.

Any truth to this? From the European Union Times.
Most ominous in this SVR report, though, is Pakistan’s ISI stating that top-secret CIA documents found in Davis’s possession point to his, and/or TF373, providing to al Qaeda terrorists “nuclear fissile material” and “biological agents” they claim are to be used against the United States itself in order to ignite an all-out war in order to reestablish the West’s hegemony over a Global economy that is warned is just months away from collapse.

Is that why we have new drone attacks a few days after his visit?
My first thought as well. Were there agents on Issa’s plane as well?

BillyP commented on the blog post Haley Barbour Refuses to Denounce Plan to Honor KKK Founder on Mississippi License Plates
OT, but perhaps one of the scribes at FDL will prepare a thread on the events in South Dakota.
A law under consideration in South Dakota would expand the definition of “justifiable homicide” to include killings that are intended to prevent harm to a fetus—a move that could make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions.

Clearly, though, he had no idea how bad things would get. HBGary — a minor but once-well-respected security company — has now suffered what may be a fatal hit to its reputation.
Poor folks. They may have to switch careers and work with the anti-abortionists.

Sounds like there was some bias at play. Did you detect any?
Best job bias story I heard was from a female chemist who interviewed for a position in San Diego. The hiring manager liked her, but the chemists from the ME were not keen about working with a woman. While at dinner with the group, her handbag mysteriously disappeared. Needless to say, she didn’t accept the offer.

Only for the gullible and apathetic
Unfortunately, that accounts for a substantial demographic. There are many who prefer not to be confused by facts. If it’s not explained to them on Fox News, it didn’t happen.
