0810 'Get This' news author: sui generis Summary of the KBOO am news for Thursday, August 10th, 2006.
1. Look Out, Martha Stewart: The Brits announced today that they have nabbed 21 people who they claim were plotting to bring the "fixins" on board commercial planes and concoct bombs. So no more liquids of any kind on planes - in fact, no more carry-ons period. Michael Chertoff wishes you, 'Bon Voyage!' 2. Today in Seattle Veterans for Peace holds its annual convention. Cindy Sheehan will be there. It's on the U of W campus. 3. Hey, Sailor!: A Naval non-commissioned officer went to Iraq, came home, refused to go back, deserted and now the Navy is being held on espionage charges. The Navy says thee guy had given sensitive material to the Russians (Whoever writes these scenarios is no John LeCarre.). Beats having another mi8litary person hit the headlines with his/her disgust with the war. 4. Oregon has finally got its food stamp act together. 5. Oregon students are doing well as long as they stay in Elementary School. After that, it's a crap shoot. Because the tests are harder in Middle School (Well duh-uh). Is it the parents? Is it the teachers? Is it the school? Or maybe it's students who share society's contempt for learning, students who feel entitled to good grades even if they never bother to learn to enjoy learning... 6. Researchers went out yet again to check on Oregon's ocean Dead Zone and sure enough, it's still there and even worse than it was thought to be. Happily, people can't see it because all the animals that couldn't flee the deadly water are lying dead on the bottom. 7. This year's heat wave is the worst yet. 8. Bush wants to change the War Crimes Act in order to protect US political appointees, CIA officers and former military personnel from prosecution. (So it's back to the beheadings, I guess... ) 9. FEMA has awarded future contracts for disaster relief projects to four of the same companies that did such a spectacular job last year. Coincidentally, the CEO's of the four are friends and associates of the Bush Family. 10. Q.E.D. Department: Katrina victims are still waiting for the housing they were promised. 11. Joseph Lieberman stamped his pretty little foot and pouted yesterday after losing to Ned 'No War' Lamont. Lieberman then announced he will run as an Independent in the November election. He has sacked his entire campaign staff (Just so they know how he feels?) 12. A former CIA contractor on trial for beating an Afghan detainee had enthusiastically volunteered to interrogate the man he tortured. David Passaro asked his commanding officer if he could take over the questioning when his victim had nothing to tell the first interrogator. 13. Three Egyptian students have been arrested for... uh... well let's see..they're students... they just got to America... someone on the plane told them about Bozeman, Montana... .. They arrived in the US with 14 others for an English and American history in Bozeman, Montana. (Bad timing guys! On the other hand, perhaps it's good that you weren't at the school when the news from Heathrow bludgeoned the airwaves this morning)) 14. US authorities have charged three former bosses at Comverse with fraud over the alleged manipulation of stock options. What these high-rollers have been up to for lo these past few years, is backdate stock options to boost their value. 15. Twenty-one penguins were rescued on an East Texas highway after a truck rolled over. They're okay (Except for three who were hit by motorists... that's quite a trophy for someone's road kill scrapbook... ), so don't worry. The octopus was alright as well. 16. The 9/11 panel downplayed the role that America's unquestioning support of Israel played in the "attacks". (The whole concept reverberates with irony... ) 17. The Baghdad morgue reports that the death toll is getting worse by the day - mostly violent deaths. 18. In Israel, the commander of the offensive against Lebanon was sacked in favor of another General who was more aggressive. 19. And just in time, too! Israel is expanding the offensive. 20. Wal-Mart is in a bit of a bind in China. The store wants to met with China's state-sanctioned labor group - no media allowed - because employees spontaneously formed their own unions at five stores in a campaign to unionize all of its 60 Chinese outlets (It's good to know that Wal-Mart has stores in China: It means that in America's post-economy economy, people will be able to get jobs making cheap goods to export to Chinese Wal-Mart stores... .) 21. Until that Glorious Day, China is auctioning off licenses for hunting endangered species (Such as Tibetans? Just asking... ) 22. And speaking of Tibetan, in Kathmandu, community radio has roared to life. 23. Mexico has started the thoroughly unacceptable, partial recount of the disputed votes. 24. In South Africa, thousands of women marked the 50th anniversary of an historic anti-apartheid march by re-enacting it. The original march was staged to protest against 'pass laws', which separated families and restricted the movement of black people. 25. Federal investigators decided that the FBI was justified in gunning down Puerto Rican militant, Filiberto Ojeda Rios. Their report contradicted claims by Ojeda's widow that the FBI opened fire first during a raid.
