 CBS/Infinity Radio has refused to air paid commercial announcements for an upcoming non-partisan symposium on terrorism, claiming "people might be too emotionally affected" by it.
"CBS/Infinity Radio joins Sinclair Broadcasting in refusing to air fact-based content about issues important to the country," said David Masak, the media production director for Peoples Truth Forum's symposium. "The facts of the threat we face might be disturbing, but that's the truth of the matter. Why CBS/Infinity wouldn't want to take this opportunity to share the facts with the American people, especially in light of the recent bombings in London, says a lot about CBS."
Or maybe is says more about the People's Truth Forum?
I don't know about you, but this set my BS Detector off, and I suspect CBS told the group to shove it when they found out the president of the People's Truth Forum was also the guy behind the bogus, muck-raking media bile, "Vietnam Vets For Truth" which was a wannabe "Swift Boat Veterans For Truth" PAC which manufactured a plethora of lies during the last presidential campaign, including allegations comparing Kerry to Nazi collaborators and the erroneous claim Kerry is considered a Communist hero to the North Vietnamese and helped them achieve victory. |

After Katrina, maybe we shouldn't be surprised to learn that the Department of Homeland Security--in charge of setting the government's agenda on cyber security--scored an F for its own cyber protection, for the third year in a row. Overall, government computer systems remain at roughly the same level of security that they had in 2004--an average score of a D+.
US rocker and writer Henry Rollins was reported to the National Security hotline during his recent Australian tour because of a book he was reading on flight to Brisbane.
As Michael "Brownie" Brown was botching the federal emergency response to Hurricane Katrina, the ousted FEMA director sent a series of embarrassing e-mails to colleagues discussing his appearance, the care of his dog, and, as the storm was making landfall, his desire to "quit" and "go home." Copies of Brown's e-mails were just provided by Department of Homeland Security officials to a congressional panel examining the government's disaster response.
While the news media dances around implications that nobody really knows who outed a CIA agent, apparently most mainstream journalists can't read.
In what can only be hailed as the pinnacle of short-sightedness, the Bush Administration, in an effort to toss money at the Hurricane Katrina disaster in order to deflect ever-increasing criticism over the Federal government's botched handling, is proposing on the back end, that the money used to rebuild New Orleans be obtained via cutting various government programs, including funding to the Army Corps of Engineers and other projects involved in strengthening the Louisiana levee system. Unbelievable!
A flurry of CIA officials have posted a formal letter regarding recent events and their feelings on the national security implications of exploiting people in service to their country for political gain.
US Investigators, including CIA agents, will be allowed to interrogate Irish citizens on Irish soil in total secrecy, under an agreement signed between Ireland and the US last week.

As more and more evidence appears, linking Karl Rove to the 
Professor of History at the University of Michigan, Juan Cole has a provacative diatribe on the dynamics of terrorism and why it's likely that issues happening today that the media is ignoring, are likely to get us all "blowed up."
