Remember when the Iraq War started, a few years ago, and Turkey didn’t want to allow us to stage the invasion from our bases in Adana and Inçirlik? And when they suddenly changed their mind, I said — very explicitly — that I believed we’d made a deal with the Turkish government. Specifically, I figured […]

Hey Washington — Can You Stop Embarrassing Us, Please?
US says it has right to kidnap British citizens – Times Online The American government has for the first time made it clear in a British court that the law applies to anyone, British or otherwise, suspected of a crime by Washington.

Christ.
There are dudes out front of my hotel here in Frankfurt that appear to be neo-Nazi skinheads — shaved heads, leather jackets with ‘DEMONIC PROBE’ written on them. I’m fighting the urge to put on my leather jacket and my stomping boots and roll down there, singing “Right In Der Fuhrer’s Face” by Spike Jones […]

Student Tasered At Kerry Speech
This guy was maybe being a goofball, but they didn’t need to light his ass up. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again…God help anybody who ever turns a taser on me. I do believe that’s the kind of provocative act that would end with me torturing you to death.
ATS Premium: Barksdale Missile Number Six: The Stolen Nuclear Weapon, page 1
ATS Premium: Barksdale Missile Number Six: The Stolen Nuclear Weapon, page 1 I don’t know how rigorous this guy is (I’m not saying he’s not, I merely don’t know his reputation), but there are some interesting points in here… particularly that the military’s admission of error in loading real nukes onto those planes last week […]
