Good Morning.
Today is our 2,155th day in Iraq.
We'll start this morning as we always do, with the latest casualty figures from Iraq and Afghanistan, courtesy of Antiwar.com:
American Deaths
Since war began (3/19/03): 4243
Since "Mission Accomplished" (5/1/03): 4104
Since Capture of Saddam (12/13/03): 3782
Since Handover (6/29/04): 3385
Since Election (1/31/05): 2805
Other Coalition Troops - Iraq: 317
US Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 647
Other Military Deaths - Afghanistan: 422
Contractor Deaths - Iraq: 446
We find this morning's cost of war inching towards 600...
$595, 704, 300, 000.00
Checking in with our friends at IAVA...yesterday was day one of their "Storm the Hill" project. 17 veterans from around the country are working their way through the back hallways and front offices of congress to make sure IAVA's legislative agenda is at the forefront of the new administration's changes. After what they've been through for the past 8 years, I can hardly blame them.
Alas, they've got a lot of work to do. Now that Blackwater's contract is not being renewed by the Defense Department, attention has started to turn to the other Bush-Era profiteer, KBR. Unfortunately, they're keeping the contract for now.
KBR certainly has an interesting history. Under different leadership, they may well have become one of those iconic American Companies, but instead they decided to try for infamy.
Like many big companies, they had humble beginnings in the early part of the last century...Mr. Kellogg forming his company in New Jersey to build power plants, and Mssrs. Brown and Root incorporating in Texas to build roads.
Brown & Root in particular did some good work during WWII, building the Corpus Christie NAS and several warships for Uncle Sam.
It wasn't until 1962....when the company was taken over by Halliburton, that things took a darker turn. Perhaps some older readers among us may remember the derisive Vietnam-era term "Burn and Loot", referring to this company.
These days, KBR has the "logistical support" contract for the US Army in Iraq. They do things the army used to do for itself....like build barracks, maintain the infrastructure, and do things like feed the troops and take care of the water supply. There's plenty out there about how good a job they have done at these things.
But that brings me to where I was going. With thousands of American civilians working in a war zone, most of them without any kind of training at all, you would hope that they could at least count on the US Army for help. Alas, KBR has a dismal track record in that regard, as the Wiki notes:
The family of at least one of those Americans directly blames KBR for negligence, and is pursuing a lawsuit. This is the environment in which KBR got a contract renewal.
So. A rather lengthy blog this morning, but these things can't be ignored. Perhaps our new president will do something about this. I suppose we couldn't cut KBR off at the knees without endangering our troops somewhat, given how intertwined they are. But KBR should be put on notice to get their act together or plan on not having the contract next year.
I'd try to think of it in these terms....if KBR had a national school contract, and it turned out that students were being electrocuted in gym showers, or were piped polluted water as their drinking supply, or were fed tainted and spoiled food, what do you think would happen?

After what they've been through for the past 8 years, I can hardly blame them.
Today was the first official day of IAVA's Storm the Hill 2009. IAVA has brought 17 Veterans from across the country to speak for Iraq and Afghanistan Vets and Present IAVA's Legislative Priorities for this year. You can find all of t IAVA's new issue reports and our 2009 Legislative Agenda here.
Today the 5 teams hit the hill and began what will be 4 epic days in the hall s of congress. We are meeting with the members of both VA committees, Armed Services Committees, and the freshmen Senators and Representatives. As we progress through out the week, we will be updating our progress and events in real time. Go to www.stormthehill.org to see events as they happen.
Last year IAVA was at the forefront of the historic Post 9/11 GI Bill. The final push for the New GI Bill began with Storm the Hill 2008 and ended with a full college education for veterans of Global War on Terror. This year we are pushing for better full implementation of the GI Bill, mandatory and confidential mental health screening for all veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, and cutting the disability claims backlog in half.
However, above all else this year, IAVA is joining with other Veteran's Organizations to push for full and advanced funding for the VA. If we fund the VA one year in advance, we can ensure that as Congress battles over the budget and inevitably passed it late, care at our nations VA hospitals and clinics continue uninterrupted. Advanced funding will increase staffing and reduce wait times for care. With your support, and the leadership of those in Congress, we can make this happen.
Alas, they've got a lot of work to do. Now that Blackwater's contract is not being renewed by the Defense Department, attention has started to turn to the other Bush-Era profiteer, KBR. Unfortunately, they're keeping the contract for now.
WASHINGTON – Defense contractor KBR Inc. has been awarded a $35 million Pentagon contract involving major electrical work, even as it is under criminal investigation in the electrocution deaths of at least two U.S. soldiers in Iraq.
The announcement of the new KBR contract came just months after the Pentagon, in strongly worded correspondence obtained by The Associated Press, rejected the company's explanation of serious mistakes in Iraq and its proposed improvements. A senior Pentagon official, David J. Graff, cited the company's "continuing quality deficiencies" and said KBR executives were "not sufficiently in touch with the urgency or realities of what was actually occurring on the ground."
"Many within DOD (the Department of Defense) have lost or are losing all remaining confidence in KBR's ability to successfully and repeatedly perform the required electrical support services mission in Iraq," wrote Graff, commander of the Defense Contract Management Agency, in a Sept. 30 letter.
Graff rejected the company's claims that it wasn't required to follow U.S. electrical codes for its work on U.S. military facilities in Iraq. KBR has said it would cost an extra $560 million to refurbish buildings in Iraq used by the U.S. military, including Saddam Hussein's palaces, which among other problems are based on a 220-volt standard rather than the American 120-volt standard.
KBR announced last week it won a new $35.4 million contract from the Army Corps of Engineers to design and build a convoy support center at Camp Adder in southern Iraq. It will include a power plant, electrical distribution center, water purification and distribution systems, wastewater and information systems and road paving.
Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D., said the new KBR contract was inappropriate. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., said he has formally asked the Corps of Engineers whether it was confident KBR could accomplish it and whether the Corps had any alternatives.
"This is hardly the time to award KBR a new contract for work they've already failed to perform adequately, and which put U.S. soldiers at even greater risk," Dorgan said in a statement. "Ultimately, contractors must be held accountable, and so should those who continue to award these contracts."
KBR certainly has an interesting history. Under different leadership, they may well have become one of those iconic American Companies, but instead they decided to try for infamy.
Like many big companies, they had humble beginnings in the early part of the last century...Mr. Kellogg forming his company in New Jersey to build power plants, and Mssrs. Brown and Root incorporating in Texas to build roads.

As of June 9, 2008, 81 American and Foreign KBR employees and subcontractors have been killed, and more than 380 have been wounded by hostile action while performing services under the company's government contracts in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait.
The family of at least one of those Americans directly blames KBR for negligence, and is pursuing a lawsuit. This is the environment in which KBR got a contract renewal.
HOUSTON—A lawsuit against two military contractors claims the companies' mistakes led U.S. soldiers to believe an American truck driver working for the contractors might be an insurgent steering a bomb-laden truck onto a U.S. military base.
In a lawsuit filed in Houston this week, Kristen Martin accused Halliburton Co. and KBR Inc. of the wrongful death of her father, truck driver Donald Tolfree, who was killed at a Camp Anaconda checkpoint, about 50 miles north of Baghdad, in February 2007.
The lawsuit does not blame the military, instead casting responsibility on the companies' practices.
Tolfree, of St. Charles, Mich., was told he would be protected by U.S. soldiers at all times. Instead, because of negligence and fraud by Halliburton and KBR, Tolfree was killed by U.S. troops, said Guy Watts, Martin's attorney.
"He was recruited in Houston, oriented in Houston and assured of his safety in Houston," Watts said in explaining why the lawsuit was filed here.
Heather Browne, a KBR spokeswoman, said while the company has sympathy for Tolfree's family, it is neither liable nor responsible for his death.
Halliburton spokeswoman Diana Gabriel said her company has not been served with the lawsuit. But if it is related to KBR work in Iraq, Halliburton should not be named in the case, Gabriel said.
KBR, a major engineering and construction services company, was split off as a separate public company from Halliburton in 2007.
So. A rather lengthy blog this morning, but these things can't be ignored. Perhaps our new president will do something about this. I suppose we couldn't cut KBR off at the knees without endangering our troops somewhat, given how intertwined they are. But KBR should be put on notice to get their act together or plan on not having the contract next year.
I'd try to think of it in these terms....if KBR had a national school contract, and it turned out that students were being electrocuted in gym showers, or were piped polluted water as their drinking supply, or were fed tainted and spoiled food, what do you think would happen?

Morning all! :coffee:
Say did anyone hear this thing on NPR about some of the court cases & appeals regarding torture that are still going forward? It seems some of the government lawyers working these cases are still carrying out Bush-era directives to have these cases dismissed, despite the start of efforts by Obama & AG Holder to review all of these cases on the merits.
There's quite a few folks who are calling Obama on this. I personally think that they're working as fast as they can to change course, especially given the delay in Holder's confirmation hearings, and that to equate Obama's policies on torture to Bush at this point is damned stupid.

Scoop, . I heard that one of the Judges has decided on his own to go forward with this cases, in disregard to the Obama executive order.

It was quite awesome. I do have to say it though.. you could CLEARLY tell how nervous he was up there. As a person who suffers from stagefright I kinda sympathize with him, and cheer him on because he's able to do his best in spite of it.

It's not about "ghetto kids" not working hard and putting their nose to the grindstone. The deck is stacked against them even when they DO work hard and put their nose to the grindstone. Plenty of "ghetto kids" have the work ethic and grades to get into college. But, can they afford it? No. No, they cannot.

But to be fair, who wouldn't spend over a thousand bucks for a pair of shoes you'll never wear?

Claire has annoyed me since S1 - HRG and Nathan are basically reverting back to S1 personalities. From what I understand some of this stuff wasn't suppose to happen and two writers from the show kinda hijacked it - Bryan Fuller is comeing back starting epi 20 I think so it should start getting back to S1 awesome :D

that would be funny - but Claude is so perfectly played by Eccelstone - they keep saing their trying to get him back but he's been busy - but he is notorious for not liking to "re-visit" characters, which sucks

So, who is your favorite Character?
Claude
but if we're going main characters Peter(Future Peter), Sylar, HRG, Parkman, Daphne, Angela, Hiro & Ando - in that order
Claude is rockin. We need him back. Maybe we can get David Tennant to play him. Just for an in-joke. lol.

He rocked Claude. But Tennant is the better Doctor (side note, so sad he's leaving).
Hopefully he'll be back.

Remember folks, this is now the Senate version...it's got to go back to the House to be reconciled.
And with three R's voting yes....my own esteemed Senator's vote was purely symbolic. Yet he still got out of his sickbed and came to DC from Florida just to take part.
Senator Kennedy may not have long for this world, but he's making the most of it by example.

Could that be because as a son of Joe Kennedy he um believes that public service means you do the peoples' business?

Remember folks, this is now the Senate version...it's got to go back to the House to be reconciled.
And with three R's voting yes....my own esteemed Senator's vote was purely symbolic. Yet he still got out of his sickbed and came to DC from Florida just to take part.
Senator Kennedy may not have long for this world, but he's making the most of it by example.

Joe's dead intern was in his local office over in Panama City or wherever. He was in DC doing something half retarded on behalf of the GOP. So when you have an intern hang herself in you local office, its not your fault. Right?

Ugh.. Joe Scarborough hasn't ruled out run to replace Mel Martinez.
Mika needs to slap him around a bit.
RUN SCARBOROUGH!
Scarborough will run, he'll lose the show (kind of the law) and someone will replace him. Scarborough will then lose, and he'll be out of work.
MWAHAHAHAHA!
Oooh.. didn't think of that angle. Your jiujitsu is quite skillful, master Random.
Thank you *bows*
But that doesn't change the fact that Mika should slap him around a bit. Just so we can watch.
Question: Why didn't Scarborough lose his job when he said fuck on the air?
One, Someone should not be implicated in a murder because someone was found dead in their office. (Remember, Teddy drowned a woman)
Two, if i remember my facts correctly, Scarborough was out of the country at the time of the incident.

"Scarborough resigned before completing his fourth term in Congress. Two months after his announcement, an intern working in his Fort Walton Beach, Florida office was found dead from a blow to the head due to an apparent seizure resulting from a long standing heart condition.[11]"
Mondo regrets his error. The office was not in Panama City, nor was there hanging involved. Both Fort Walton Beach and Panama City are on the afore mentioned "Redneck Riviera."

Speaking as we were of Monster, Stahlink here is my response to an unsolicited request for an interview for a sales manager job:
Thank you for the attention, I am flattered, but confused. What part of my resume is screaming sales professional to you? Is it the part about me being trained in Microsoft SQL Server 2005? On a track to receive certification as an IT professional from Microsoft? Or was it the extensive list of software and IT skills I have? Yes I am being a tad sarcastic, but there is giant disconnect between what your search software is looking for and what is actually on my resume. Now, if you have openings in your IT department for a junior DBA or a help desk analyst I would be interested to discuss those opportunities with you, otherwise I thank you for your interest, but I am not inclined to be involved in a stressful high pressure sales organization at this time.

During a brief flip through the radio stations here in Broward County. Local Right Wing Radio Personality, Beverly Kennedy, (Not a "Kennedy") played a clip of Harrietta Hughes at Obama's rally. She then goes on a long ramble dismissing Hughes as someone begging for attention, wanting to repair her car and get a house, kind of missing the point really. Kennedy, who's not a "Kennedy", went on to "joke", "I guess Obama's town halls are the place to be, better than an employment office."

Random wrote an email to the Stephanie Miller Show:
During a brief flip through the radio stations here in Broward County. Local Right Wing Radio Personality, Beverly Kennedy, (Not a "Kennedy") played a clip of Harrietta Hughes at Obama's rally. She then goes on a long ramble dismissing Hughes as someone begging for attention, wanting to repair her car and get a house, kind of missing the point really. Kennedy, who's not a "Kennedy", went on to "joke", "I guess Obama's town halls are the place to be, better than an employment office."

Joe confides to Dick that, yes - he WILL be persecuted for war crimes, while Laura - in her happy pill-induced haze blathers inanely to an increasingly short-tempered Lynn.
