greenharper commented on the blog post While Neocons Still Press for War With Iran, Diplomacy Begins to Work
Hi, NCG –
The U.N. inspectors were in fact in Iran.
I remember very clearly hearing George W. Bush’s warning to the U.N. inspectors just before the U.S. invaded. He addressed them directly, telling them to get out of Iraq because the U.S. was coming in to bomb.
NPR carried the Bush talk.
Why tell the inspectors to get out of Iraq unless they’re in it?

Swill? Tripe? I don’t see it. The points make sense to me.
Remember when Stiglitz, I think it was, first said that the U.S. invasion and occupation of Iraq was costing/would cost $3 trillion, and the veal pen had the vapors?

So sad that we still are fighting this one. And, pay equity is absolutely critical. No one gives me discounts on purchases for being a woman.

greenharper commented on the blog post Criminal Deterrence: To Lanny Breuer, It Means Pretending to Investigate
The mortgage fraud settlement is like a bank robber, leaving a bank with the swag, tipping the cop not to arrest him. Or, I guess, her. But it seems to be mostly hims.

Both of my parents got their educations in Pennsylvania schools: Penn State, long before JoePa, and Indiana State. Five of my family have been teachers in the Pennsylvania public schools. Penna. is shooting itself in the foot by defunding medical aid for the poor, and education for the bright kids who cannot afford the Univ. [...]

greenharper commented on the diary post ICE Director Confronted on Intimidation of Nonviolent Activists by David Swanson.
Thanks, David. This is chilling.
The after-action questionnaire is also designed, it seems to me, to get U.S. citizens (presumably) exercising their 1st Amendment rights on record as being satisfied to have the Federal Protective Service poking its noses into that exercise.

greenharper commented on the diary post To The State Attorneys General: Reject The Obama Administration’s Settlement Proposal by Masoninblue.
Thanks, Mason. Good points.
I just wrote to Martha Coakley (MA) to nix the settlement.
To my mind, it’s regrettable that she has a civil case out there when criminal cases are so easy to make, and so much better as deterrents.
But there is plenty of crime to go around.

greenharper commented on the diary post FINALLY! Forgery and False Statements Indictment Handed Down by Cynthia Kouril.
Terrific news!
Yes, these should be slam-dunk cases. Not, at least relatively, resource intensive. So, ideal for hard-pressed state prosecutors.
May many go and do likewise.

Well done. It’s high time to push back against these guys in mitres who can’t get pregnant, and who probably never had sole care of a week-old infant (thank God for the infants), but who want to control the bodies of those of us who can and have.

Let’s remember, as well, the millions in grants for stem cell research that the Komen Foundation yanked last fall.
There’s too little pink lipstick in all of L’Oreal for that particular piggy.

Good for Pérez Esquivel.
He shows compassion for what Obama has got himself into, and holds up the mirror more charitably than I ever could.

greenharper commented on the blog post Schneiderman Sues Three Big Banks, MERS for Deceptive Practices, Illegal Foreclosures
My guess: both.
In my paralegal days, I worked on a 125-page cross-motion for summary judgment in a complex private antitrust case. Our oldest son was then about 12. My attorney boss was also a neighbor and friend. He suggested running the first section of the brief past our son. “If [he] can understand it, a federal district court judge can understand it.”
