(2009-08-25) — U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder today announced that in addition to appointing a federal prosecutor to investigate allegations of abuse during CIA interrogations of terrorism suspects, the Justice Department would probe the actions of the New York City Fire Department on September 11, 2001.
“While the vast majority of FDNY firefighters performed admirably that day,” said Mr. Holder, “there have been reports that some of them shouted at people who were fleeing the World Trade Center Towers, and damaged property in violent ways that may have startled onlookers.”
Emergency services advocates claim the firefighters were just doing their jobs, trying to save lives, and that in fact thousands of persons owe their current existence to the successful efforts of the FDNY.
However, Mr. Holder said, “the ends cannot justify the means. Justice must be done.”
In related news, President Barack Obama announced today the creation of a new “elite fire fighting unit” which will report directly to the White House and follow a new, “more civil protocol” when responding to major disasters.

Perhaps the Obamastration wants Firefighters and EMTs to observe a sort of "Mirandizing" protocol in which responders assume full responsibility for the actions of those they attempt to save. That ought to reduce emergency personnel budgets rather quickly.

How odd, sounds like someone is advocating torture as a means to an end.
IF that had worked (we've seen zero evidence that it did…zero) then we should perhaps take a long hard look at the suffering it helped us avoid and…then decide we probably shouldn't have done it because it's not what America stands for…and surely violates any sort of "turn the other cheek" advise that may have been offered long ago…but that's another story…I guess.
That advice was probably meant for "then" and this, of course is "now" so, out it goes (right?)

The USA under President George W. Bush never tortured anyone nor did it advocate doing so; to claim otherwise is to deliberately spew falsehoods. Also, using irrelevant, random snippets of Scripture verses is really not a good idea.

I also understand there was rampant double parking by firemen going un-ticketed (is that a word?), by NYPD, so maybe Miss Holder should look into them also?

16 onlineanalyst // Aug 25, 2009 at 8:41 pm
I guess that the NYPD can expect reprisals for yelling, "Fire!" into the crowd.
Holder has a peculiar sense of "justice." This is the person instrumental in pardoning the FALN terrorists, in pardoning Marc Rich, and in dismissing charges against the New Black Panthers for their threats and voter iniimidation in Philadelphia. He contradicts the judgments of career attorneys, making justice a matter of men, not of laws.
The actions and decisions of the Obama administration fly in face of their first duty when they swore their allegiance to protect and defend our Constitution and our nation.

Somewhere, in the back of all of this, is a boat full of Trial Attornies. Don't Americans always advise one to "follow the dollars"? You have a wonderful country but so many of your people feel guilty about it, why? There are many who are witnessing your 'dissembling, post-modern, politically correct self-destruction'-my boy's words. The jealous are happy; the moral are frightened.
EU, Canada, and most democracies cannot defend themselves and exist because you defend them by your existence. They spend less because you spend more.
The ankle biting EU and UN stay just within your orbit and nice graces so that if they were attacked you would respond; but do they extend gratitude to the US? It will never happen. Best luck in all your efforts to defeat your "enemy from within." My boy is one of your Marines in Iraq and a proud American citizen and he thinks that this is an oath they may have to uphold before long. He's a good boy and honest.
27 MoMadeMeDoIt // Aug 25, 2009 at 9:54 pm
Esteban: The EU, Canada and others cannot defend themselves for a number of reasons ; one being that the self-indulgent fools would rather live it up than have children and thus preserve & continue their societies. They are committing a slow-motion demographic suicide, which will be obvious in a few decades. Wars are fought by young men, like your son. Tell your son that we thank him for his service, and remind him of the importance of having a family of his own.

Obamao and his trusty Axelturfers are blowing smoke and shining lots of mirrors— Look, over there!—to distract the nation from the current administration's failed policies. Axelrod and Emanuel do nothing without focus group testing.
Unfortunately, the nation is not interested in blaming Bush. The quadrupled deficit since Obamao took the reins, a debt that adds nothing to the economy but only threatens a double-dip recession, increased unemployment, a weakened security and monetary system is not the change anyone can believe in. Obamao OWNS this bad economy, and yet he promotes further legislation that will cripple us into being a bankrupt nation.
Obamao has snubbed our allies and made friendly overtures to regimes guilty of the worst human rights abuses. Fie on him!

A hearty Semper Fi to your son.
If the US were to finally implement its exit strategy from Germany and Italy and make a serious gesture to pull out of NATO, withdrawing to our own borders, the EU would immediately have to start cutting back on their socialized spending due to their evident vulnerability. The cost of replacing the Third Armored and 82nd Airborne Divisions alone would devastate Germanys' economy….or leave them neutered.

54 Fred Sinclair // Aug 26, 2009 at 6:07 am
Just got this from a good friend who lives n Manhattan, think it about sums it up:
Let me get this straight…
We're going to pass a health care plan
written by a committee whose head says he
doesn't understand it,
passed by a Congress that hasn't read it but
exempts themselves from it,
signed by a president that also hasn't read it and who smokes,
with funding administered by a treasury chief who didn't pay his taxes,
overseen by a surgeon general who is obese, and
financed by a country that's nearly broke.
What could possibly go wrong?
Fortunately there are enough "blue dog" Democrats in the Senate that I believe the so called health care plan that usurper's pushing (he doesn't have a"plan") written by "the usual suspects" will end up lost in committee or voted down. Rush has said that if he doesn't get this bill or his cap and trade bill the loss of either one "Will be his Waterloo".

The Washington Post [regarding insane deficits in perpetuity] says, "This situation was foreseeable and should have been acknowledged earlier."
I say, not only was it "foreseeable" but it was actually foreseen!!!!! Not just predictable but predicted. So obvious, except to the glazed-over, unseeing eyeballs of idolaters.

Personally, I think "WhizBang" should try "having some respect for ?(his/her/its)? fellow human beings", first!
It's one thing to purloin the idea for your Screen-name from the Scrappleface Blogroll ( see item #42 - "WizBang Politics" ), and it's another thing to steal the personal description from another commenter's Intense Debate Profile! I've heard that imitation is the the sincerest form of flattery, but - thanks but no thanks, whoever/whatever you are. Larceny works best when it goes unnoticed, "WhizBang"!

OT but Dr. Ezekiel Emanuel, brother Rahm and influential adviser in shaping the current health care bill, HR3200, is a Statist extraordaire. He blames physicians' Hippocratic Oath for the rising costs of health care and implicitly calls for panels to determine the value of lives in determining treatment. He also embraces rationing and calls the decisions "ethical," based on one's value to Society.
http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970203...
Tell me that these ideas or decisions are ethical, and I will call you inhumane and power-hungry, valuing not life, privacy, and freedom but promoting servitude to the State. How different is this thinking from that practiced in Nazi Germany?

Unlike CIA, the only reference to my mama was that they’d call her to tell her if I’d lived or died after they made heroic efforts to save my life. (I hear chatter that CIA interrogators threatened to kill the families, including parents, of “persons of interest” in follow-ups of “alleged suspects” in terrorist attacks.)
Although marginalized, I would strongly suggest that folks should look uo the definition of “red herring” in their most recent edition of any given dictionary. Then you’ll understand why I now call The Manchurian Candidate “The Red Herring” at United Possums International.
I know it’s satire, but the smoke-and-mirrors of Those People is perfectly captured here.

Ted Kennedy and the KGB were going to enlist the aid of the American media to undermine President Reagan. Ahhh, the wonders of freedom of information when the Iron Curtain fell. And liberal Democrats were never held accountable for their refusal to see the Soviet Union as an evil empire.
And Ted Kennedy, the "collaborationist" who undermined American security leading up to 9/11.

Hey Darth - did you bother to read the statement in that story you refer to about Kennedy and the KGB, which states "Update: I should clear up a misconception that’s making the rounds, and that’s the authorship of the memo. Ted Kennedy didn’t write the memo. The memo’s author is V. Chebrikov, head of the Committee on State Security of the USSR–the KGB." Your credibility just went down the hopper !

Nope, WhizBang, you can blame brevity but you can't blame me. I'm fully aware of who wrote the memo and about whom it was written. It's called the "Kennedy memo" in the real world because it was a KGB memo written about Kennedy's attempt to undermine President Reagan by going to the SovComs. Of course a doofus like you will refuse to see the actual thrust of the documentation in the first place.
In Whizbang's basement world, anyone who blows the whistle and tells the truth about a Democrat is a "hatemonger" … and if he opposes the political idiocies of Mr. Obamarx he's a "racist". The shoe is actually on the other foot, WhizBang, check your own mirror.

Another excerpt from my newspaper commentary:
Second, though his personal shortcomings can be conveniently overlooked by people of like mind and character and apparently by lockstep Democrat voters of the People’s Republic of Massachussetts numerous times, what can’t be forgiven is Mr. Kennedy’s seditious treachery.
After the fall of the Iron Curtain, a KGB document, authored by Viktor Chebrikov and dated May 14, 1983 (http://www.frontpagemag.com/readArticle.aspx?ARTI... was released by the former Soviet state which explicitly documented Senator Edward Kennedy efforts to undermine the Reagan Administration by proposing a cooperative effort between certain members of the American media including Walter Cronkite, then odious premier Yuri Andropov along with the KGB to forge a global media blitz which would be little more than a mutual communist PR effort to burnish the Soviet’s hammer and sickle.

I was never a supporter of Senator Edward Kennedy but his skill and power were undeniable, unmatched in his decades of public service. That is why I call on all Scrapplers of whatever political stripe to join me in the effort to honor Senator Kennedy's memory as we do other heroes, such as Michael Jordan (#23), Joe DiMaggio (#5), and O.J. Simpson (#32), by "retiring" Kennedy's Senate Seat. While some might object that this would leave Massachusetts underrepresented, speeches given over the past few days prove that in fact Teddy Kennedy's influence on American politics is unlikely to wane despite his physical departure, and could even increase.

How nice it is to hear you acknowledge Senator Kennedy's great contribution to our nation.

Why does Obamacare necessarily need a person's name attached to it, anyway? Why can't they just call it, say, a "Man-Caused Disaster"? Or maybe a "domestic contingency operation" — or, better, "a domestic contingency to prevent you from getting an operation"?

bober, the link is fine. Your tired talking points are dead. If you'd read the link, you would have to actually start making sense instead of lying about what occurred, and you would have to cease inferring from Ott's post that he is PRO-TORTURE. The post, based on the facts of the IG report about CIA interrogations, simply makes the point that we'd need to haul in half the employees of every police force, half the members of all sororities and fraternities, every drill instructor ever, and so on, if we try to prosecute the CIA for stuff like "blowing cigar smoke in the face of a detainee".
