War on Guns points to Sipsey Street. Including
This is a new entry in the "Legal issues regarding the accuracy and completeness of the NFRTR" section of the NFAOA "Resources" page at http://www.nfaoa.org/resources.html. . . This is all Public Domain material . . . One would think at some point the legal system will gag when confronted with the deliberate withholding of potentially exculpatory evidence, and evidence that doesn't meet the Federal Rules of Evidence standard. I think it started to gag in the Friesen case, and it won't take much more of a nudge to get that going again.

Due to the divorce, I never was able to spend as much time
with the kids as I should have/wanted to; it's just about impossible to. And one of the things you worry like hell about over the years is "Did I teach them the right things? To do AND not to do?", things like that.
And then I read something like this and decide that warts and all I and the ex managed to do a better job than that.
I remember the first time I took the kids hunting and both were carrying, daughter a shotgun and son a .22 rifle. Just before we started out from the truck I said "Just remember: if either of you gets careless and shoots me, you're gonna have a hard time carrying me back to the truck." They both grinned, daughter said "Poppa...!" in that girl way, and a good afternoon & evening was had by all.
AND I've got a memory(among others) that'd make the Brady weenies wet their pants and scream "Child Abuse!" or something if they ever heard it.

On the subject of honor killings,
Six Feet pointed to a piece by Mark Steyn taking down- apart, rather- a piece by a dumbass who has a problem with what Steyn wrote on the subject. Part of his response:
In other words, Phyllis Chesler and I are writing about how "honor killings" have migrated from the distant horizon to The New York Times' backyard. All the examples she and I cite and link to are from North America. That's what we're writing about: Dead Muslim women in New York, Illinois, Texas, Quebec. Our neighbors.
Conor Friedersdorf demolishes our argument by pulling up yellowing Times thumbsuckers from ten years ago about "honor killings" in the Arab world, Turkey, Pakistan - and, eventually, Berlin.
I think Friedersdorf, in his usual pedantic way, has not refuted my point but reinforced it: The Times was more enthusiastic about covering "honor killings" when they were way out on the fringes of the map and could be used for a distant anthropological study of remote tribal cultures. Now they're happening down the block in Buffalo, Peoria and Kingston, Ontario, and raise complicating questions for the prevailing pieties on diversity, multiculturalism, immigration, assimilation et al, questions for which most of the liberal press has no stomach.
And, just for delight, I'll throw in one of the two updates:
[UPDATE: Friedersdorf's colleague, The Atlantic's Chief Obstetrician, thinks my post is evidence of "epistemic closure" on the right. Ah, yes. Because nothing says "closed-minded conservative bubble" like a right-wing racist sexist loon worrying about the murders of brown women.]
That's something I've noticed: the soft bigotry of these people. Take someone from a small town whose daughter has been raped; if the sheriff or police can't or won't do anything there's a serious chance of the rapist winding up in a hole, or left out as coyote food, which is decried by Times types as 'vigilante action by right-wing government-haters' and such. A girl from a muslim family is raped or she was dating a non-muslim or acting too western and her father/uncle/brother/combination thereof murder her to 'save the family honor' and these same Times types make excuses. Or try to overlook it entirely. And if they can't overlook it they'll do almost anything to keep from mentioning the 'muslim' part of the equation. It's like they don't expect 'those people' to be able to act in civilized fashion so it's just terribly unfeeling and non-PC to actually take notice of it.

Since it's Saturday, I'm going to start this with
All we did was welcome Al to the neighborhood, why are you so upset?
The Advice Goddess has a piece on victims of real domestic violence, worth reading. It includes a connection to the mess in Britain where Afshan Azad was almost killed by her father and brother, and it seems their lawyer has been lying about her to try to get them off:
According to my reader, “This is the oldest (and dirtiest) trick in the legal world–a lawyer trying to save his client by destroying the veracity of the accuser. The lawyer for the father and brother is desperate; his clients are facing huge jail sentences for attempted murder. The lawyer’s only hope is to make the accuser retract her statement–’oops! It was all a misunderstanding.’ Please don’t feel bad that you’ve been duped. I would have had the exact same reaction as you—had it not been for the fact that I’ve been a legal secretary for decades.
While Obama is running around claiming "Things are improving!", Insty is getting stuff like this:
Yet more video of the racists and the New Black Panther Party, and more on the bullshit at the Justice Department by bigots who want to overlook the racism.
I haven't been following the Journolist mess very closely("Hmmm, bunch of major media weenies in collusion to control the news; this is a surprise?"), but ran across this piece from which I'll borrow a few paragraphs:
Friends on the JournoList assure me that it was a largely stultifying circle of policy wonks, so it’s theoretically possible that Weigel’s boisterous attitudinizing was the exception, not the rule. But what Klein doesn’t seem to understand is that his list has become the story, and that what real journalists do is get the story. Real journalists are not moonlighting policy mavens, angling for a job in the current or next Democrat administration by appearing on panels and going on television to advocate administration initiatives while news happens around them; their duty is to their publications and their readers, not their political party.
This about covers it:
Tucker Carlson: All of these guys (business leaders) voted for Obama. What was the moment they changed their mind?
Charles Gasparino: It wasn’t one moment but occurred over the course of the year… They thought he was a moderate. You know what I said to these guys when they told me that? I said, “You ever heard of Jeremiah Wright?” I mean Jeremiah Wright, his racist rhetoric is there. But, he’s also a Marxist. He teaches liberation theology. How can you vote for a man who considers a Marxist to be his spiritual mentor?
Because they're idiots?
Speaking of the Marxist in the Oval Office, his drawing power seems to be a bit down:
Far Left Democrat Robin Carnahan was forced to cut ticket prices in half after she couldn’t sell out a fundraiser in Kansas City to see socialist Barack Obama.
Hotline On Call reported:
Pres. Obama is the best fundraiser the Dem Party has, but his drawing power is way down from its peak during the ’08 campaign.
Obama is heading to MO and NV today to raise money for Sec/State Robin Carnahan (D), running for an open Senate seat, and Senate Maj. Leader Harry Reid.
But Carnahan’s campaign wasn’t able to completely sell out the Folly Theater, where Obama will appear for a grassroots event on Carnahan’s behalf, at the prices they wanted. Tickets once priced at $250 are now going for $99, while $35 tickets are half off.
Hehehehehe......
Well, they may have more brain power than most of the Taliban, so...
If President Barack Obama withdraws from the war in Afghanistan, he would be the first commander-in-chief in American history to surrender to an army of monkeys; and we’re not talking about fighting the ‘Planet of the Apes.’ The Taliban in Afghanistan has just gotten into the ‘monkey business’ of training primates to attack U.S. soldiers, according to a British-based media agency.
The People’s Daily of China reports that, “reporters from the media agency spotted and took photos of a few ‘monkey soldiers’ holding AK-47 rifles and Bren light machine guns in the Waziristan tribal region near the border between Pakistan and Afghanistan. The report and photos have been widely spread by media agencies and Web sites across the world.”
The monkey's have Bren guns? Damn. Considering what collectors would pay for them, hope they're teaching proper maintenance.
Some of the price of crapping on Jews and submitting to muslims in Britain. With a link to this piece on the idiocy in the Methodist church.
But I did speak to the Methodist Church’s head of media relations, Anna Drew, whose well prepared brief offered a lesson in where things have gone so badly wrong.
“Do you have any boycotts of other countries in the world, Saudi Arabia for example, where Christianity is banned?” I asked.
“Almost certainly not,” she said.
“So why have you singled out the Jewish state?” I asked.
“We have not singled out the Jewish state,” she replied, saying that the boycott was not against Israel, merely against the occupied territories.
Etc., etc. ad Bullshit.
Theo brings us this:
For which peace be upon him.
Liquid body armor; definitely a high 'Cool' factor.
Jeez, when these people are saying things like
“The curse of longterm unemployment is that if you pay people to do nothing, they’ll find themselves doing nothing for very long periods of time,” Ferguson said. “Long-term unemployment is at an all-time high in the United States, and it is a direct consequence of a misconceived public policy.”
and
Ferguson added: “The critical point is if your policy says you’re going run a trillion-dollar deficit for the rest of time, you’re riding for a fall…Then it really is goodbye.” A dashing Brit, Ferguson added: “Can I say that, having grown up in a declining empire, I do not recommend it. It’s just not a lot of fun actually—decline.”
Ferguson called for what he called “radical” measures. “I can’t emphasize strongly enough the need for radical fiscal reform to restore the incentives for work and remove the incentives for idleness.” He praised “really radical reform of the sort that, for example, Paul Ryan [the ranking Republican on the House Budget Committee] has outlined in his wonderful ‘Roadmap’ for radical, root-and-branch reform not only of the tax system but of the entitlement system” and “unleash entrepreneurial innovation.” Otherwise, Ferguson warned: “Do you want to be a kind of implicit part of the European Union? I’d advise you against it.”
then The Lightworker has real problems, don't he?
In the post at Rodger's that Sondra links to, it mentions Carville having fits over the mess in the Gulf. Well, guy, you helped push Obama into that office; you lied about and slandered anyone who had reservations about him, you played all your usual crap-on-people games, and got what you wanted; now deal with the consequences of having helped get him there, you bastard.
From the thought-crime weenies in Canada: "It's a tough crime to prosecute because the constitution guarantees freedom of expression, but this case goes over the line," he said, adding: "We have an idea of where he is." Hmmm... they had no problem prosecuting Mark Steyn & Ira Levant for bullshit, but this clown says things like "A genocide should be perpetrated against the Jewish populations of North America and Europe," and "Our prime targets will be any major cities with Jews residing in them." and THAT'S a 'tough crime to prosecute'. Further proof that this 'hate crime' and 'hate speech' bullshit is, well, a big steaming pile of it.
And with that, I'm off.
The Advice Goddess has a piece on victims of real domestic violence, worth reading. It includes a connection to the mess in Britain where Afshan Azad was almost killed by her father and brother, and it seems their lawyer has been lying about her to try to get them off:
He tells the Daily Express, “This is a desperately sad situation and she has never wanted her father and brother to be locked up. She has tried on three occasions to retract her statement and has pleaded with the Crown Prosecution Service not to proceed.
“I sincerely hope for the family’s sake that this can be quickly and happily resolved. My client and his father have already denied the charges and will maintain that plea.“
According to my reader, “This is the oldest (and dirtiest) trick in the legal world–a lawyer trying to save his client by destroying the veracity of the accuser. The lawyer for the father and brother is desperate; his clients are facing huge jail sentences for attempted murder. The lawyer’s only hope is to make the accuser retract her statement–’oops!

While Obama is running around claiming "Things are improving!", Insty is getting stuff like this:
And every time another surprise from the Obamacare bill comes out, and another "You have to pass it to know what's in it" bill comes from people like Friend of Angelo Dodd and Sleeps With The Regulated Frank, businesses hunker down that much more; they have to if they want to survive. Which means fewer jobs, and more screwing of the economy.I am an instructor in a technical school. It puts me in good position to stay close with my industry (auto service). Each year I am on a job hunt for up to fifty students, and you can bet I keep close tabs on what local employers are thinking.
The past two years, but this year especially, the single most common thought passed on by employers has been “I’m not sure I want to hire anyone right now, until we know what’s going to happen with taxes and medical coverage”. This is understandable, as these two items make up huge parts of a business’s outgoing spending. Not knowing what they will be nailed with, a LOT of small employers are taking the only safe road. They are putting expansion and hiring plans on hold, till the business environment regains some sanity.
I think they may have a long wait, and signs indicate that’s exactly what local employers are expecting.

Given the embarrassing revelation — once again involving the Post — that one of its bloggers was also a White House functionary, a fact not disclosed to its readership, you would think the Post and the few grownups left there would want to clean up their act before they have not even a fig leaf of professional dignity intact. Which is why they ought to insist that Klein release the JournoList archives.
Then let real journalists sort through it and try to correlate the list’s talking points with the ostensibly unbiased coverage of its membership. See whether certain story clusters, with many of the same talking points, suddenly start appearing around the same time in various publications. In the old days reporters might share minor bits of information but two things they would never share were scoops and original insights, and the notion that the staffs of a great city’s multiple newspapers could possibly collude on shaping coverage would have been both antithetical to the idea of journalism itself and abhorrent to the fiercely competitive editors.
With the JournoList outed, the public now has a clear right to know whether the Washington Post, via one of its employees, facilitated an unprofessional collaboration among ostensibly independent reporters and columnists, about which their readers knew nothing – the lame jokes and cheap shots and locker-room swagger, while embarrassing, are just collateral damage. If this were about any other profession than journalism, reporters would be all over it, screaming about transparency.
This about covers it:

The Moat chase is over
He killed himself when, I guess, he finally got tired of it.
Something commenter Keith got that's not in the article:
He'd broken into a house yesterday, in a village hosting about 10% or more of Britain's armed cops, while the lady was getting the kids from school.
she'd returned, found her kitchen turned upside down and called the cops.
FIFTEEN minutes later, two UNARMED cops arrived. refused to enter, called for armed officers and went away.
The bouncer then came back and took some clean clothes from the house and left again in the FIFTEEN minutes more that it took for armed cops to get there.
This is going to take some whitewashing over.
Here's another article, at the Sun. Which includes After Moat shot himself, witnesses said cops swarmed around and jumped on him. And seems Keith isn't the only one thinking the police have some explaining to do:
COPS were last night accused of a string of blunders after Raoul Moat remained free under their noses for almost a week.
...
Moat was finally cornered a few hundred yards from where his getaway car was found four days earlier. During the hunt Northumbria Police apologised after an inspector called Moat a "nutter".
His ex Samantha Stobbart, who he attacked, was apparently given NO police protection. Another former girlfriend who warned he would hide in Rothbury said her statement was not taken seriously.
Cops also held back details of his getaway car.
Personally, I don't think calling him a nutter was exactly a large problem, but I guess they decided he was being insensitive.
The Brit cops showed the same problem we've got over here: they had the guy pinned and yet kept around enough people to fight a company-size infantry action, which makes as much sense as O.J. Simpson driving along with a third of LAPD following him. EVERYBODY wants in on it. Something like that, do the brass just want everyone around they can get, or don't they bother to cut the numbers down?
Down near the bottom of the Sun article there's a picture of five cops: two have subguns aimed at the guy and a third is behind a ballistic shield pointing a Taser.
I think he was being a bit optimistic about that...
So this mess is over. And the circus of explanations and defenses and excuses begins.

A change of draw
Tam wrote something once about Jarret having changed something about the way he shot, and it improved his technique. I’ve read of other athletes going back and changing some part of their style, working to make it the new ‘natural’ way and improving their game. Which brings me to the current post.
Couple of years ago I tried a IWB holster, and liked it. It did have one problem: the grip sits low and tight enough to the body that I had trouble getting a ‘correct’ grip. Which caused accuracy and control problems. I tried working it out, but I just could not get that correct grip. So one evening I loaded up snap caps for some practice and started over, working some different angles to see what might work, and finally hit a combination that did.
Technically, it would be considered very bad form as the general rule is ‘Get a firm grasp on the grip before you begin to draw the pistol from the holster’; and I don’t do that.I get the thumb and two fingers relatively loosely on the grip and that pulls the pistol up, then the fingers and thumb tighten which draws the grip tight into my hand, giving me a high, strong grip. And it works, for me at least.
(added)
I just had time to practice this a bit and remind myself of the proper description: the thumb slides down the inside of the grip just at the bottom of the beavertail but isn't doing anything but positioning at this point; it has the web of the hand at the tip of the tail curve. The second, third and fourth fingers just hook around the front of the grip at the middle joint and start the actual draw. As the piece lifts from the holster those fingers tighten and that pulls the grip solidly into the palm in proper position with the fingers well wrapped around. While that's happening and the piece is tilting forward the thumb angles up, not on the safety but getting there. About the time the piece is coming level the thumb has risen high enough to engage the safety, ready to push it off.
When I wrote the original description it was late, and I was tired enough my eyes were fuzzing; apologies for a lousy description.
(end of update)
Once I had that motion figured out, I did a LOT of dry-fire draws getting it locked in. Then at the range with ammo, with both .45 and .22(with the conversion kit on) to make sure it worked. And it did. So I tried it more, drawing from all kinds of angles- square to the target, angled left, angled right, back to the target & drawing and turning, dry-fire first and then at the range. And it does the job for me.
Big factor, passed on a long time ago from Capt. Combs: start slow, get all the motions worked out and locked in, then speed up a bit. And so on.
That's not the best description of how I came to this; but it's late, my eyes are fuzzing and I'll pretty it up later.
Added: When I first learned handguns, it was all from an exposed holster, not concealed; the grip was right out there where you could place your hand before you actually moved the piece. Later, the first CC holsters I used were tighter to the body, but still made it easy to get the grip just right before you actually drew. However, that meant they were a bit- compared to the IWB holster, sometimes a lot- more difficult to conceal. I really like the IWB: it keeps the piece tight to the body and doesn't shift, which aids concealment and means the grip will be right there every time; one of the holsters I previously used tended to slip back & forth a bit, which caused problems. But using the IWB well meant a change in method. Thus this post.

Once I had that motion figured out, I did a LOT of dry-fire draws getting it locked in. Then at the range with ammo, with both .45 and .22(with the conversion kit on) to make sure it worked. And it did. So I tried it more, drawing from all kinds of angles- square to the target, angled left, angled right, back to the target & drawing and turning, dry-fire first and then at the range. And it does the job for me.
Big factor, passed on a long time ago from Capt. Combs: start slow, get all the motions worked out and locked in, then speed up a bit. And so on.
That's not the best description of how I came to this; but it's late, my eyes are fuzzing and I'll pretty it up later.
Added: When I first learned handguns, it was all from an exposed holster, not concealed; the grip was right out there where you could place your hand before you actually moved the piece. Later, the first CC holsters I used were tighter to the body, but still made it easy to get the grip just right before you actually drew. However, that meant they were a bit- compared to the IWB holster, sometimes a lot- more difficult to conceal. I really like the IWB: it keeps the piece tight to the body and doesn't shift, which aids concealment and means the grip will be right there every time; one of the holsters I previously used tended to slip back & forth a bit, which caused problems. But using the IWB well meant a change in method. Thus this post.
Remember "You can't miss with a shotgun!" ?

The big hole is from the shot cup.
That's nine pellets in a group 3.25" across at across-a-good-size-room distance from an 18.5" barrel. I don't know about you, but that doesn't look like a "It'll spread out five feet wide!"-type pattern to me.

I think I'll do a bit of a Friday afternoon roundup
The good:
Two years ago, DARPA set a goal of creating a self-contained, synthetic platform that can cultivate red blood cells that can stand up to the violent demands of the battlefield. Through the process of "pharming," or genetically engineering an organism to generate large quantities of a useful substance, the DoD's R&D arm was hoping to end blood shortages on the battlefield for good.
A company awarded nearly $2 million to develop this genetically engineered blood product has shipped off the first shipment to the FDA, hoping the regulators will approve it for use in trauma wards everywhere. The biotech company, Arteriocyte, can turn an umbilical cord into 20 units of blood in about three days at a cost of about $5,000 per unit. That's a bit steep, but if the FDA approves the blood product and the company is able to scale the production method, fake blood could be the real deal.
The bad:
Notice, too, how Obama habitually refers to Cabinet members and other high government officials as "my" -- "my secretary of homeland security," "my national security team," "my ambassador." The more normal -- and respectful -- usage is to say "the," as in "the secretary of state." These are, after all, public officials sworn to serve the nation and the Constitution -- not just the man who appointed them.
It's a stylistic detail, but quite revealing of Obama's exalted view of himself. Not surprising, perhaps, in a man whose major achievement before acceding to the presidency was writing two biographies -- both about himself.
Obama is not the first president with a large streak of narcissism. But the others had equally expansive feelings about their country. Obama's modesty about America would be more understandable if he treated himself with the same reserve. What is odd is to have a president so convinced of his own magnificence -- yet not of his own country's.
And the really ugly:
In 2006, we at Hot Air covered Shabazz’s jihad-pandering protest and call to arms at the Danish embassy in Washington, D.C. over the Mohammed Cartoons.
In 2007, Shabazz called me a “whore” on Fox News because I called out his racial hucksterism in the Duke lacrosse fake rape case.
In 2008, I reported on Shabazz’s election day threats to voters and have covered the corruptocrat Obama DOJ’s role in dropping default judgments against the Philly NBPP thugs ever since. In 2009, I reported on the “Colored Only: No Whites Allowed” sign at NBPP defendant Jerry Jackson’s house and the murderous rap propaganda posted by the NBPP Trenton chapter.
followed by some of Malkin's hate mail:
I saw you on Fox News tonight. Take my advice: GO SIT YOUR BLACK ASS DOWN!!!!!!!!!! As Black as you are, you would be one of the first person’s racially profiled if you went to Arizona.

Yep, the nutball who called me a “c**t” from his work e-mail is moaning about the lost opportunity to “have an honest political debate in this country.”
Ouch. Ow. Stomach hurting from laughing so hard. Ow.
Ah, liberals; not only are they tending to violence, they're racist shits, aren't they?
Ok, cops and legal types:
Back to the subject of dirtbag lawers and politicians
wrapped into one,
The federal prosecutor tasked with quarterbacking the Obama administration's high-profile case against Arizona's immigration law is no stranger to controversy or the limelight.
Justice Department attorney Tony West is a member of the so-called "Gitmo 9" -- a group of lawyers who have represented terror suspects.
West, the assistant attorney general for the department's Civil Division, once represented "American Taliban" John Walker Lindh, a controversial move that West feared would derail his political ambitions and helped delay his nomination to the department for three months in 2009.
One of Holder's bright little lights. Wonderful, isn't it?

A sheriff in a 'may issue' state gets his pee-pee whacked
for his actions in denying a permit.
Paul [Dorr] was denied a permit precisely because Sheriff Weber believed that his free speech rights offended the majority of voters in Osceola County....
And this is truly priceless:
[Footnote:] Following trial, the court alerted the parties to the possibility that it might order Sheriff Weber to take a class to educate him on the First Amendment. It provided the parties with 10 days to file briefs relating to the court’s authority to order such remedial relief. Sheriff Weber did not file a brief.
This has always been the problem with 'may issue'; the sheriff or whoever may NOT issue for any kind of bullshit, just dress it up in the right words and "Permit denied."
On the subject of self-defense, just found this at Volokh:
From Leonard Baker, Brandeis and Frankfurter: A Dual Biography (1984), p. 341. On June 18, 1930, Justice Brandeis (who was the best-known Zionist in the United States) met with the U.K.‘s Ambassador to the United States, Sir Ronald Lindsay:

Brandeis told Sir Ronald “that it was wholly contrary to any conception of civil rights with which I was familiar, through study of the Anglo-Saxon institutions and the American experience, that when a government found itself unble to afford protection, citizens should not be permitted to protect themselves.” The English did not protect the Jews, nor allow the Jews to arm themselves against the Arab threat.
Or as Brandeis also said, “We shall have lost something vital and beyond price on the day when the state denies us the right to resort to force...” Alfred Lief, The Brandeis Guide to the Modern World (1941), p. 212.
Words to remember.
So the officilal New Black Panther bigshot didn't condemn (updated)
this clown saying 'you're going to have to kill some crackers! You're gonna have to kill some of their babies!'
The 'you're gonna have to kill crackers' stuff starts at about 0:38
Got Glenn Beck on, and he had audio of an interview the NBP bastard did earlier where he was specifically asked about the 'kill the crackers and cracker babies' statement. He did not condemn it; he said 'We don't believe in haranguing black men on the street', and 'we don't believe in giving away what we may or may not do', various shit like that but he did not condemn the talk of killing white people and killing white babies.
No, I'm not giving him any wiggle room on this; he refused to condemn one of his people(and I specifically mean NBP people) speaking of the need to kill whites, and kill white children. He spoke of 'being more careful in wording' and such, but not one damned word saying even that 'talk of killing children is wrong'. Would not say it.
I'll check Beck's site later, maybe he'll have a transcript up so I can give the exact wording.
Update: Just found this over at Gateway Pundit:

I admit that my first thought on reading of this 'lame-duck session' crap
is that a whole lot of people should sort of hint to the people involved something along the lines of "If you do this, you will be made to regret it. Maybe just until they manage to scrape the tar off(or remove the remains from the rope), but you WILL regret it."
The rush to recess gives Democrats little time to pass any major laws. That's why there have been signs in recent weeks that party leaders are planning an ambitious, lame-duck session to muscle through bills in December they don't want to defend before November. Retiring or defeated members of Congress would then be able to vote for sweeping legislation without any fear of voter retaliation.
Translation: "We're too chickenshit to put staying in this office at greater risk by trying this before the election, so we'll screw the people in the name of the Progressive and National Socialist Democrat Cause after the election."
Can I point out to these clowns that 'voter retaliation' doesn't have to take place in a voting booth, in extreme circumstances?

Anymore I'm tempted to say 'Congressman AND

Here's a piece of WWII history I hadn't heard before
...He stated that some time between 03 Feb thru 03 Mar 1945 — during the bitter urban fighting between American troops and a combination of Japanese naval base troops and three Imperial Japanese Army infantry battalions of the Shimbu Group — Japanese troops attacked troopers of the American 1st Cavalry Division with hand held and 75mm gun fired chemical munitions.
The Japanese crossed the chemical warfare threshold in World War 2.
...
1. Enemy Chemical Warfare Activities
The Jap Leyte garrison was prepared both Offensively and defensively for gas warfare when American forces landed. Munitions filled With tear gas (CN). vomiting gas (DC) and nerve poison (AC) were found in captured ammunition dumps. PWs stated that all unit from companies up were supplied with toxic munitions, including 75mm blistering gas (H or H-L) filled shells. Captured documents reveal that orders were issued in July 1944, to all troops in the LEYTE area to the effect that special smokes and other gas munitions would not be used without a special order and that in View or the Allies’ preparedness to resort to chemical warfare no excuse would be given them for retaliation. It may be inferred that a decision by the Japanese on whether or not to use gas will be based entirely upon strategical considerations.
To quote somebody, Damn!

I wonder if he actually believes this crap?
During the interview Wednesday, when confronted with the anxiety that some Israelis feel toward him, Obama said that "some of it may just be the fact that my middle name is Hussein, and that creates suspicion."
Of COURSE that's it, it couldn't POSSIBLY be things like this:
U.S. President Barack Obama shakes hands with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas (L) at the White House in Washington, June 9, 2010. Obama hosted Abbas at the White House on Wednesday seeking to ensure that fallout from Israel’s Gaza flotilla raid does not derail fragile U.S.-led peace efforts.
...
Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas told Arab leaders that the PA is ready to wage war on Israel if the rest of the Arab world does, according to the PA daily Al-Hayat al-Jadida as translated by Palestinian Media Watch.

I can only think of one real reason why the EffingBI
would refuse to record interviews(officially and admitted to, at least): because written notes can be edited and, ah, 'interpreted' as they choose.
Charlton, who was fired by the Justice Department in 2006 for trying (without success) to force the FBI to record confessions in Arizona, had been sorely frustrated by its policy. "We lost cases, we had to plead down cases, we had to drop cases just because of this policy," he recalls in a phone interview.
The Justice Department, finally waking up to the arrival of the 21st century, now has a task force reexamining the virtual ban on recording, which by any reasonable standard is as obsolete as J. Edgar Hoover. But the FBI shows no openness to change.
Spokesman Bill Carter provides the traditional explanations for rejecting recording as a normal practice. He says they can "inhibit frank discussions and end interviews early" if the arrestee is averse to taping.
Maybe so. But the occasional objection from someone being questioned doesn't justify a general policy against taping.
It doesn't. And it's hard to believe the FBI would refuse to record because "We've never done that." Has to be an actual reason. I'm just afraid of exactly what that reason is.

A fine demonstration of what a crap pile the NAACP has become
Gladney didn't get support because, well,
Here is the unbelievable video of the racist NAACP event. The two men accused of attacking Gladney go on trial this month. Elston McCowan, the man standing next to the speaker, can be seen laughing when the speaker says Gladney is not a brother.
...
Back in the day, we used to call someone like that, and I want to remind you, uh, when this incident occurred, I was really struck by a front page picture of this guy, which we called, a Negro, i mean that we call him a Negro in the fact that he works for not for our people but against our people. In the old days, we call him an Uncle Tom. I just gotta say that. Here it is, the day after a young brother, a young man, I didn’t mean to call him a brother, but on the front page of the Post Dispatch, ironically, he’s sitting in a wheelchair, being kissed on the forehead, by a European. Now just imagine that as a poster child picture, not working for our people.
You don't follow the party line, they'll call you Uncle Tom, a house nigger. Wonderful people, aren't they? Them and their SEIU friends.
Oh, and if anybody wants to bitch about me using that phrase, I suggest you screw yourself until you give at least equal bitching to the people who called Clarence Thomas and Condoleeza Rice and other blacks of conservative bent exactly that. And a whole lot more.

I've got two big compost heaps
and they're both damn near full. The grass got barely dry enough- more like just damp enough- that I could finish mowing the back.
The front, and the part of the back I got the other day, almost look like they weren't cut; not promising.
