Unfortunately, we are going to have to get accustomed to episodes such as the murder in London. At this juncture it is part of a trend". 1036: Breaking News The Metropolitan Police execute a search warrant at an address in Lincolnshire. A Lincolnshire Police spokesman says: "This is in connection with the ongoing investigation into the murder of a man in Woolwich. The Metropolitan Police are not prepared to discuss the matter further at this stage." 1035: Professor Paul Rogers, from Bradford University, is an expert in terrorism and says the attack seemed to be designed to cause widespread fear. He tells BBC News: "The alleged perpetrators really wanted to publicise what they did. In a way, it's almost exactly what academics say when they talk about the term terrorism, it's actions which may have a victim or some victims but are designed to cause fear among a much wider community." Breaking News Nick Robinson Political editor tweets: Advice not to wear uniforms in public set to be reversed. PM believes was "understandable reaction" but people should go about daily lives 1032: A Conservative MP says he intends to discuss the speed of the police response in Woolwich with ministers. Robert Buckland tells the BBC: "I will raise it with Home Office ministers as soon as we know the full picture." He was quoted in the Telegraph as saying it would be very worrying if there had been an "unwarranted delay" in the police response. 1031: A Cub Scout leader has spoken of how she confronted one of the alleged attackers who killed a member of the armed forces in Woolwich. In an interview, Ingrid Loyau-Kennett tells the Daily Telegraph the attacker said he had killed the soldier because "he had killed Muslim people" and that he was "fed up that people kill Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. Here is some audio of her describing what happened. 1030: The BBC's Jonathan Beale says armed forces personnel have been advised to conceal their uniforms if they are wearing them in public places, particularly on public transport. This advice has gone to regular members of the armed forces and the Territorial Army as well. 1028: Police conduct a fingertip search near to the scene of the crime. 1028: In his statement, Mr Murphy says: "The government and security services have our full support in establishing the facts and preventing any future such crimes. As a country we should respond with a reassertion of the values of tolerance and justice; the values that these extremists hate so much about our country. We should all help to ensure our Armed Forces never feel fearful in public. They protect us, and today each of us can send a loud message of support, solidarity and gratitude to all service personnel serving in our towns and cities at home and overseas." 1027: Shadow defence secretary, Jim Murphy, says: "This is firstly a personal tragedy for the family and friends of the victim. This horrendous and horrific act against our Armed Forces has shocked us all. In our moments of anger we should be strengthened in our national resolve to tackle hatred and terrorism wherever they exist." Lucy Manning ITV Home Affairs Editor tweets: Anjem Choudray tells ITV News (&amp; The Independent it seems) he knows 1 of attackers. Attended Al Muhajiroun events. Is Muslim convert. 1024: Statement after Cobra meeting: "There was an operational update from the police and agencies into the ongoing investigation and an update from the MOD on protective security. There was a discussion about community cohesion. The strength and unity of response from Muslim community leaders was recognised and commended by Ministers and others around the table." 1018: ITV News is reporting details of an email it says was sent to air cadets, saying: "No uniforms are to be worn by any military personnel whilst walking out of unit/MoD locations in London and Greater London with effect now until further notice. This includes the carriage of military day sacks." 1015: Russian state-owned TV Channel One, as seen by BBC Monitoring, says: "This is the first time that Londoners, who have been through more than one terror attack, have seen such a thing... Now the UK authorities will find it easier to achieve the deportation of radical Islamic preachers." Norman Smith, BBC News Channel chief political correspondent tweets : COBRA ends. PM and others encouraged by calm response of local community #woolwich Lucy Manning ITV Home Affairs Editor tweets: Police &amp; forensics are searching a London flat that ITV News believes is connected to one of the suspected Woolwich attackers. 1008: A statement from Prime Minister David Cameron is expected in Downing Street within 10 minutes. Stacey Rickman tweets: Never seen woolwich and plumstead so empty in the past two years I've travelled through wowza Kelly Lu tweets: Going to sleep hearing helicoptors and waking up to hearing helicoptors... 1007: A Kent MP describes the broadcast of footage of one of the alleged attackers in Woolwich as one of the worst examples of irresponsible journalism he has ever seen. Julian Brazier, a member of the Defence Select Committee, tells Julia George on BBC Radio Kent that the clip should never have been shown. 1006: Here is an audio interview with eyewitness Graham Wilders, who lives in Woolwich. He describes seeing the attack and how he initially thought there had been an accident with two men trying to resuscitate the victim. 1005: People have laid flowers and an Army T-shirt in tribute to the soldier who was killed. Reports say he had been wearing a T-shirt bearing the logo of the British military charity Help for Heroes. 1003: The statement concludes: "Let the response of our nation be mature and thoughtful. This is a moment of prayer, unity and not of hasty reaction." 1002: The Greenwich Islamic Centre adds: "The local Muslim community has always enjoyed an excellent relationship with the people from all walks of life regardless of their religion, colour or ethnic background. At this moment of confusion, uncertainty and naturally highly charged emotions, we earnestly appeal to the media not to rush to judgement and wait for the final findings by the law enforcement agencies." 1000: The Greenwich Islamic Centre condemns Wednesday's "barbaric murder": "The Muslims of the Greenwich Islamic Centre in the Royal Borough of Greenwich... share the grief and sorrow of the nation. Our hearts go out to the family, colleagues and friends of the victim of this despicable and horrific tragedy." 0954: Tributes have been pouring in on social media for the soldier killed in Woolwich. Here a woman places flowers outside the Royal Military Barracks, near the scene where he was killed. 0953: Graham Wilders - who witnessed the killing - says officers arriving at the scene had to take into account the fact that at least one of the attackers had a gun. He says: "The police officers didn't even get a chance to get out their car. They just, like, started running towards them, especially the bloke with the machetes. They just had to shoot him because he was just hurtling towards them, and then the other one with the handgun, lifted it up and obviously they shot him." 0952: Leaving the meeting of Cobra, London mayor Boris Johnson, appears to indicate Wednesday's attack was being seen as a one-off incident. "Everything I am hearing leads me to think that Londoners can go about their business in the normal way and we are going to bring the killers to justice," he says. 0950: Julie Siddiqi, of the Islamic Society of Britain, tells BBC Radio 4: "The people who did this act yesterday do not speak in my name, do not speak for my community or the rest of the country. We have to come out with the strongest condemnation, which is what I'm seeing this morning." 0947: The politicians will now want to leave the police and intelligence services to pursue the lines they need to, our correspondent Norman Smith adds. 0947: Our correspondent says this means security services are still thought to be piecing together information about the attack. So when the PM speaks in the next hour or so, it will a more general appeal for calm and a message of reassurance. 0946: We are hearing that the Cobra meeting in Whitehall has finished. It lasted about an hour and was not a "nuts and bolts meeting", according to BBC chief political correspondent Norman Smith. 0943: Farouk Murad, spokesman for the Muslim Council of Britain, says the attack is "an insult and attack against our faith and our community", adding: "We must stand united against this kind of criminal activity... Islam does not under any pretext give the licence to kill innocents on our streets." 0942: Residents in Woolwich tell the BBC the killing should not diminish the community spirit that exists in the area. One resident, Keira, says: "I don't think it's anything to do with religion, or race or anything else. I think it's all to do with the person and who did it. And that's it really... We've just got to all pull together really and just accept what's happened and move on from it." 0942: There are still large numbers of police officers at the scene of the killing, while soldiers are standing guard outside the Royal Military Barracks in Woolwich, south-east London. 0941: A Ministry of Defence source says the uniform advice is a "common sense"" measure while the investigation into yesterday's attack is ongoing. He says it does not amount to a change in policy. Security at a number of military bases has already been stepped up and members of the services have been told to remain vigilant. 0939: Breaking News The BBC understands guidance has been issued to members of the armed forces to "conceal" their uniforms if in public, especially when travelling alone, in light of Wednesday's attack. 0932: The Press Association news agency, quoting sources, says the Woolwich suspects are of Nigerian background and are not thought to have links to terror groups based there. There has been no confirmation of this. Garath Dobbs, from Cardiff, emails: It strikes me that the attackers have gained exactly what they wanted from this - exposure. The media outlet could not wait to get this 'exclusive' on the air. There has to be a way to deny these attackers the oxygen of publicity. I think there should be a law against televising diatribes relating to such acts and a law against filming and sharing any such things on the internet. I understand the second part will be difficult but national television would be easy. It just seems very naive of ITV to show these people on primetime. Secunder Kermani tweets : Been at the #woolwich school near ydays killing. Parents say they've struggled to shield their kids from what happened. Some still scared 0928: Boris Johnson continues: "I think it's very important that... the people of London should take their cue from the behaviour of the people of Woolwich yesterday, who showed such astonishing natural courage in dealing with an appalling event, and who stood up to those killers. And I think that that's the spirit of London, and that's what I would call on people to do today - go about their lives in the normal way." 0927: Mayor of London Boris Johnson is attending the Cobra meeting in Whitehall. On his way in he says: "It is completely wrong to blame this killing on the religion of Islam. But it is also equally wrong to try to draw any link between this murder and British foreign policy, or the actions of British forces who are risking their lives abroad for the sake of freedom. The fault lies wholly and exclusively in the warped and deluded mindset of the people who did it. And what we need now is, for the sake of the victim, and for the sake of his family, is for those killers to be brought to justice." 0927: Keith Vaz, chairman of the Home Affairs Select Committee, tells BBC News the government must find out "who committed this barbaric crime and follow it up swiftly". He adds: "People need to stay calm - I think some of the stories that we've heard this morning of demonstrations in certain areas... this is not helpful to the police, the police should not be distracted from the very important work that they have to do." 0925: Former chairwoman of the British Joint Intelligence Committee, Baroness Neville-Jones, tells the BBC that the inspiration for the Woolwich attack "comes from internet hate speech and jihadist rhetoric". She says: "Muslim leadership must help with tackling the spread of this kind of rhetoric." 0915: Breaking News In a message on Twitter, Prime Minister David Cameron says: "I have been updated by the commissioner and will chair Cobra shortly. I will make a statement on this sickening killing this morning." 0914: Prime Minister David Cameron was briefed by Metropolitan Police Commissioner Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe on the murder investigation before chairing the meeting of Cobra at 10 Downing Street. 0912: Breaking News PM David Cameron is now chairing the Cobra emergency government crisis committee. 0911: The Metropolitan Police are expected to release the name and regiment of the soldier killed later this morning. His family has already been informed. 0908: Here is a picture taken at the scene of yesterday's London street attack - an air ambulance can be seen landing. Have a look at our BBC picture gallery for more images of the scene in Woolwich. Warning: some of the following images are graphic in nature. 0903: Lord Reid tells BBC Radio Scotland's Good Morning Scotland that the killing in Woolwich was a "horrific and terrible attack", and adds: "The bad news is that becomes harder to prevent." He says it was "a testament to the effectiveness of our security forces in this country that they have prevented it for many, many years". 0902: Col Kemp also tells BBC News he believes this morning's Cobra meeting will try to ascertain whether the attack was part of a wider extremist conspiracy. He says: "I don't think it looks like that myself but I think they will want to know that. And the second thing, I think, in that area is there will be a great deal of concern that this form of attack now, which I think has been long feared by the security services, could lead to copycats." 0901: A former commander of British soldiers in Afghanistan, Col Richard Kemp, tells BBC Radio 4's Today programme "it would be wrong to suggest we live in a state of fear of this type of attack". 0901: Former Home Secretary Lord Reid condemns the "brutal, inhumane and terrible murder of an innocent person". While he said the threat from terrorists was continual, he insisted they would not succeed in their bid to "impose their will on others" in the UK. 0852: A Facebook page set up in honour of the victim of yesterday's attack has received one million "likes", according to the Metro newspaper . It features a statement saying: "A British soldier has been murdered as he walked a street in London in a 'suspected' terror attack. RIP to a hero!" 0851: Raffaelle Pantucci, a senior research fellow at the Royal United Services Institute, tells the BBC: "The brazenness of this incident is what marks it out from previous ones. The willingness of these guys to conduct this attack in the middle of the street and then sort of talk about it, shout about it in front of people in the street afterwards, is I think a new level of brutality." 0825: Lincoln Jopp, a former commander of British troops in Afghanistan, tells the BBC this was a tragic act, but adds the British army will rally round at times like this - as they always do. He says he realises people will be looking at procedures, but says he would like military personnel to continue wearing their uniforms outside barracks. He says the British public's support gives the military great strength. 0816: Our correspondent adds the Cobra meeting will decide how to respond to the killing - looking at whether it was a lone attack or a wider orchestrated campaign. So far, he says, the UK's terror alert level has not been raised and the security response has been limited to military barracks, which would lead one to speculate it is believed to have been an isolated act. 0815: Political correspondent Norman Smith says the Cobra emergency meeting - for which the PM has returned from France - will get under way in about 20 minutes. Before that the home secretary will brief David Cameron on the latest thinking of the intelligence service, because overnight they have gone through a mass of material - witness statements, footage, and of course their own records, he says - to see if the attackers were in any way known to the security services. 0807: You can read our main news story here for an overview of what is happening today. Here is a map of the scene. David Dixon, a local head teacher, told the BBC News Channel he walked out of the school gates and saw a body lying in the road a short distance away. He then heard gunshots and instructed staff to lock all the gates of his school. An air ambulance landed in the playground and the children were sent home. 0802: If you want more background on yesterday's attack, you can look back at Wednesday's live page here. 0800: Here is a picture of the scene yesterday, following the attack - which took place at 14:20 BST in John Wilson Street, the A205. We will bring you more photos as they come in today. 0758: Usama Hasan is a senior researcher at the Quilliam Foundation, a think tank specialising in counter extremism. He tells the BBC that the hatred preached by some Islamic clerics has to stop: "The real problem here is the decisive hatred preached by a very small minority of clerics in this country in a small number of our mosques and universities. They know who they are and there are Muslim groups and other groups - left wing groups may I say - who defend that kind of grievance and victimhood mentality. That's what must change and has to stop. A very small number of people but unfortunately their influence is too high." Mark Coyle tweets : Police helicopter overhead #Woolwich. A sense of bewilderment in the air. I swear I saw a dad holding his kids' hands tighter than normal. 0754: ITV News has broadcast footage of a man with bloodied hands talking to a camera, following the attack. He makes a series of political statements before walking towards a man, who is believed to be a soldier, lying on the street. Warning: This footage contains disturbing images. CJ, from Surrey A dark day for us all. Whatever their reasons, this was wrong. This can only lead to opposing hate groups (re)surfacing and promoting further further hate amongst understandably frightened people. 0745: Wednesday's events in Woolwich have shocked the UK - but this was precisely the kind of attack that security chiefs have long feared could come, writes the BBC's home affairs correspondent Dominic Casciani in his blog this morning. 0743: A passer-by, Ingrid Loyau-Kennett, confronted one of the attackers in the street. She says he told her that he had killed because he was "fed up" about the deaths of Muslims in Iraq and Afghanistan. Speaking on ITV Daybreak she describes the scene, saying: "More and more people were starting to come. I mean there was absolutely nobody when I arrived apart form the bus and people stayed on the bus and there was just this lady cradling the soldier and gradually people started to come. I imagine the soldier was losing more and more blood and attracting people and there was so many people around." 0741: The Muslim Council of Britain says the killers' use of "Islamic slogans" indicates they were motivated by their faith. A statement from the council says: "This is a truly barbaric act that has no basis in Islam and we condemn this unreservedly. Our thoughts are with the victim and his family." 0740: The BBC's Jonathan Beale says security at London military barracks has been stepped up, but the overall threat of terrorism warning has not been raised to severe - it is at substantial at the moment. Severe would mean a terror attack is likely. One of the issues the Cobra meeting will look at is whether soldiers should wear their uniform outside their barracks, he says. They will also discuss if this is a one-off attack or part of a wider move. 0736: There are reports that it was 20 minutes before armed police arrived at the scene of the attack yesterday. But local MP for Greenwich and Woolwich Nick Raynsford tells the BBC he thinks police arrived pretty quickly and very quickly dealt with the two suspects. "We know very well that quick response is important, but it's difficult to think in an urban area that it would be possible to get to a scene of a crime much quicker than that given all the communication there has to be - given that there had to be an armed unit to respond, and given the evidence there were two very dangerous suspects who themselves were armed." 0733: There are many questions today about who the victim of this brutal attack was. He is said to have been a member of the British armed forces, but people will want to know who he was, which unit was he with, and if he was linked to the Woolwich barracks. For the Cobra emergency committee, perhaps the overriding question will be whether the two attackers were acting unilaterally or were part of a more orchestrated plot. The committee will also be discussing the motive for the attack, says the BBC's Ben Ando. 0732: Already security has been stepped up at military barracks across London. Police now are waiting to question the two attackers, who are in separate hospitals after being shot by armed police. The BBC's Ben Ando says we do not know which hospitals are looking after the men or what condition the men are in - although one is thought to be in a critical condition. 0730: Since the attack there were confrontations in Woolwich between police and a group of around 60 people - some from the English Defence League - but there were no arrests. Here members of the EDL wear balaclavas as they gather outside a pub in Woolwich in London last night. There have also been attacks on mosques in Kent and Essex. 0726: Initially, witnesses thought the two men were trying to help the man, but then they realised they were killing him. Lots of amateur footage was recorded at the scene yesterday and police have urged people to send them any video or images they have of the scene. 0726: Meanwhile, a tow-truck has removed a vehicle - covered with a red canvas cover - which is thought to have been involved. It is thought the victim was struck by a car before being attacked by the two men, says our correspondent Ben Ando. 0725: The BBC's Ben Ando, who has been in Woolwich overnight, says it has been a scene of considerable and measured activity. The scene of the killing was on the south circular road - one of London's busiest routes, and forensic teams have worked through the night to complete their work so the road can re-open. 0723: The two men - who were shot by police - are being held in hospital under armed guard while counter terrorism police wait to question them. 0722: Witnesses yesterday described seeing two men armed with knives and a gun repeatedly assault the victim. One of the men called for Britain to end its involvement in foreign conflicts. The image shown here is from footage taken at the scene. 0721: The emergency meeting this morning will be attended by politicians, the UK's most senior police officer and the new head of MI5. 0721: Home Secretary Theresa May has said that while we have seen terrorism on the streets of London before, "we have always stood firm against it - despicable acts like these will not go unpunished", she has promised. 0720: The home secretary says security has been tightened at all London barracks, and the government's emergency response committee Cobra will meet this morning to discuss the attack. David Cameron has cut short his trip to Paris to chair the meeting. 0719: Two suspects were shot by armed police after spending several minutes speaking to bystanders and making political statements to camera. 0718: A man said by Whitehall sources to be a member of the British armed forces has been killed on a busy south London street in what has been described as a terror attack. His exact identity has not been revealed.

UK reaction to the beheading of a Soldier in a UK street. Wed, 22 May 2013 23:27:47 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ad1_1369279490 USMC_SRT It is a retirement ceremony like many. The anthem plays over the loudspeaker. Soldiers render honors. A barking of orders, medals pinned and an old Soldier -- unleashed from military service -- begins a new chapter in life.However, the retirement ceremony held, Feb. 1, here on Conn Barracks was different than most. Soldiers and community members from Schweinfurt, Bamberg and Mannheim gathered to honor Lando F620, a military working dog who rose to the rank of sergeant first class and retired from the 94th Military Police Detachment. "The average lifespan of Lando's breed is 15 years," said Capt. Dane M. Hiltner, commander of the 630th Military Police Company, during remarks delivered at the ceremony. Lando, a 12-year-old Belgian Malinois, has been in military service for the past eight years. "Can you imagine? As humans our average lifespan is maybe 80. So, can you imagine serving the Army for 40 years?" Lando deployed four times in those eight years. At the ceremony he was awarded the Army Achievement Medal for his service to the Army. "He is the dog father. All the other dogs love him. They won't bark at him," said Staff Sgt. Richard McNulty of the 94th MPD, who has worked with dogs like Lando for four years. Lando entered the military working dog program in December of 2003 at Lackland Air Force Base, where all military working dogs receive their initial training. He trained as a patrol explosive detection dog in 2005 and was then assigned to the 272nd Military Police Company in Schweinfurt, Germany. He continued his career with the 630th Military Company and finished under the 94th Military Police Detachment. Lando deployed four times -- once in support of Operation Enduring Freedom, twice for Operation Iraqi Freedom and most recently in support of the Kosovo Force. He had 15 confirmed finds while deployed downrange. "The biggest achievement that he has done is finding explosives downrange," said McNulty. "There is no way to calculate how he saved lives -- finding the explosives, finding the IEDs, getting them off the route the Soldiers were going." Lando also provided force protection to the president and vice president of the United States and the secretary of state, said McNulty. But when he wasn't sniffing out bombs and protecting heads of state, Lando was protecting the Bamberg and Schweinfurt military communities working perimeter checks and gate guard. Military working dogs spend countless hours with their handlers to hone the skills necessary to sniff out drugs or explosives. But now, Lando's golden years are in front of him as he transitions into retirement. "He gets all excited," said Staff Sgt. Michael S. Bacon, about Lando's work ethic even today. Bacon is the kennel master for the 94th MPD. "He wants to do it even though his body can't really do it for him anymore. Mentally he is like 'let's go, let's do this.'" One Bamberg family has now decided to adopt him. At the Feb. 1 ceremony, Capt. Rory Thibault, his wife Johanna and their family received Lando's leash and a certificate of adoption formally certifying Lando's transition out of military service and into doggy retirement. "When we saw a note on the Bamberg community page about a (military working dog) looking to retire we were intrigued," said Johanna Thibault. "An older and well-trained dog would be a great fit for us. After we met Lando we fell in love and realized he'd be a great fit for our family." Pet owners can adopt military working dogs once the dogs are removed from service for reasons ranging from medical issues to their own disinterest in sniffing out explosives. "They want to work," said McNulty about all military working dogs. "They have a drive to work. It takes them a little longer to go to a home and be a pet. Their job is to just be loyal to that family, not search for explosives, not to do bite work anymore. It takes them time to adjust to their new life." Lando does not have any medical issues. But his new family should be warned. "He sleeps on his back with his legs up in the air," said Staff Sgt. James A. Hall, the kennel noncommissioned officer in charge, who is familiar with Lando's antics. "It looks like he is playing dead." Although the Bamberg and Schweinfurt communities will no longer be graced with the 'Dog Father,' his new family already has plans on how Lando will spend the rest of his dog days. "It's very clear to us that Lando was well loved in the Schweinfurt and Bamberg kennels. He is a people-oriented dog, and we're making sure to include him in everything we do. Be it sitting and watching TV or walking to kindergarten, we're making sure Lando is there with us," said the Thibault family. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=ad1_1369279490 USMC_SRT 'Dog Father' Retires From Military Service Army, Germany, Working, Dog, Retire Wed, 22 May 2013 21:51:28 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=cc8_1369273499 ZANGADO The now-retired general counsel and chief of staff of the House Judiciary Committee, who supervised Hillary when she worked on the Watergate investigation, says Hillary's history of lies and unethical behavior goes back farther - and goes much deeper - than anyone realizes. Jerry Zeifman, a lifelong Democrat, supervised the work of 27-year-old Hillary Rodham on the committee. Hillary got a job working on the investigation at the behest of her former law professor, Burke Marshall, who was also Sen. Ted Kennedy's chief counsel in the Chappaquiddick affair. When the investigation was over, Zeifman fired Hillary from the committee staff and refused to give her a letter of recommendation - one of only three people who earned that dubious distinction in Zeifman's 17-year career. Why? "Because she was a liar," Zeifman said in an interview last week. "She was an unethical, dishonest lawyer. She conspired to violate the Constitution, the rules of the House, the rules of the committee and the rules of confidentiality." How could a 27-year-old House staff member do all that? She couldn't do it by herself, but Zeifman said she was one of several individuals - including Marshall, special counsel John Doar and senior associate special counsel (and future Clinton White House Counsel) Bernard Nussbaum - who engaged in a seemingly implausible scheme to deny Richard Nixon the right to counsel during the investigation. Why would they want to do that? Because, according to Zeifman, they feared putting Watergate break-in mastermind E. Howard Hunt on the stand to be cross-examined by counsel to the president. Hunt, Zeifman said, had the goods on nefarious activities in the Kennedy Administration that would have made Watergate look like a day at the beach - including Kennedy's purported complicity in the attempted assassination of Fidel Castro. The actions of Hillary and her cohorts went directly against the judgment of top Democrats, up to and including then-House Majority Leader Tip O'Neill, that Nixon clearly had the right to counsel. Zeifman says that Hillary, along with Marshall, Nussbaum and Doar, was determined to gain enough votes on the Judiciary Committee to change House rules and deny counsel to Nixon. And in order to pull this off, Zeifman says Hillary wrote a fraudulent legal brief, and confiscated public documents to hide her deception. The brief involved precedent for representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding. When Hillary endeavored to write a legal brief arguing there is no right to representation by counsel during an impeachment proceeding, Zeifman says, he told Hillary about the case of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas, who faced an impeachment attempt in 1970. "As soon as the impeachment resolutions were introduced by (then-House Minority Leader Gerald) Ford, and they were referred to the House Judiciary Committee, the first thing Douglas did was hire himself a lawyer," Zeifman said. The Judiciary Committee allowed Douglas to keep counsel, thus establishing the precedent. Zeifman says he told Hillary that all the documents establishing this fact were in the Judiciary Committee's public files. So what did Hillary do? "Hillary then removed all the Douglas files to the offices where she was located, which at that time was secured and inaccessible to the public," Zeifman said.

From Wikipedia: "The Enemies of Reason is a two-part television documentary, written and presented by evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, in which he seeks to expose "those areas of belief that exist without scientific proof, yet manage to hold the nation under their spell", including mediumship, acupuncture and psychokinesis." "The documentary was first broadcast on Channel 4 in the UK, styled as a loose successor to Dawkins' documentary of the previous year, The Root of All Evil?, as seen through the incorporation of brief clips from said documentary during the introduction of the first part by Dawkins. The first part aired 13 August 2007 and the second on 20 August 2007." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Enemies_of_Reason http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=3e4_1368805313 Salamander Enemies of Reason - <span class="highlight">Richard</span> Dawkins (full video: hour and a half) reason, religion, science Thu, 16 May 2013 19:36:11 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=401_1368747063 dcmfox D Magazine on Tuesday published a shockingly not safe for work voicemail from Dallas City Council candidate Richard P. Sheridan who said that the publication had not done enough to inform voters that his opponent was gay. In the voicemail left over the weekend, Sheridan tells reporter Dan Koller that he's "extremely happy" that "Sodomite" Leland Burk lost to Jennifer Staubach Gates. "You know, you didn't post the fact, communicate to voters that he's gay, and I think I did a pretty good job of communicating to voters," Sheridan, who only received 28 votes, opines. "You, sir, are cunt, bitch, coward, Mr. Koller. Dan Koller is a cunt, bitch, coward. And I don't think you have one testicle, sir. You're a sorry-ass, you're a disgrace to our city, you're a propagandist to the Sodomites. "And when I see you, I'm not sure what I'm going to do, but minimally your eardrums will hurt, you motherfucker. Because the word fuck means abuse and if you're in the gay lifestyle, the mothers that bring their children up in the world, wanting to do good, want to live a good life, and you go with the Sodomites? You motherfucker, cunt, coward Dan Koller." Sheridan adds that Koller would "regret it" the next time he saw him, but the "fucking coward" should not to call the police because it was not intended as a threat of bodily harm. Koller responded on Tuesday with lyrics from Michael Jackson's " Bad ." "Well, Richard (or should I call you Dick? Yeah, I should), all I can say in response, Dick, is your talk is cheap; you're not a man," Koller wrote . "The word is out, you're doing wrong; gonna lock you up before too long. I'm telling you, just watch your mouth; I know your game, what you're about." "I sincerely hope that the man is never a Twitter user," D Magazine 's Jason Heid added in a follow-up piece.

Dozens of weapons - including a number of knives - and pools of blood could be seen on the ground in John Wilson Street, where a man wearing a Help for Heroes T-shirt is said to have been attacked. The Metropolitan Police confirmed one person had died following the incident and said the Independent Police Complaints Commission had now taken over the investigation. Woolwich MP Nick Raynsford told Sky News he believed the deceased was a serving soldier. He said he had spoken to both borough commander Richard Wood and Lieutenant Colonel Bob Christopher at Royal Artillery Barracks - which is around a mile from the scene of the attack. Mr Raynsford said: "One individual is dead, two others are seriously injured and in hospital. "The circumstances causing the incident are not yet clear. It's been suggested it was the product of a road traffic accident, but that's pure speculation. "I'll be talking to everyone who is involved, we will be trying to do everything possible to try and ensure calm in the area. People will be very, very shocked. "We think a serving soldier was the victim. We don't know the circumstances surrounding the incident." Schools in the area have been placed on lockdown. Police were sent to the scene at around 2.20pm. The immediate area has been shut down, with eyewitnesses describing the incident on Twitter as "horrific". On its Twitter account, the Metropolitan Police helicopter team called the incident "serious". A Scotland Yard spokesman said: "We believe at this stage officers were called to reports of an assault." London Air Ambulance confirmed one patient was airlifted from the scene, while another was taken away by road ambulance. The service would not confirm the nature of their injuries or where they were being taken. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=6ad_1369239298 R3WiG Woolwich: 'Soldier Dead After Machete Attack' Woolwich: 'Soldier Dead After Machete Attack' uk Tue, 21 May 2013 21:12:57 -0400 http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a7c_1369184263 BekasKhan By Michael Hirsh National JournalKABUL, Afghanistan - None of President Hamid Karzai's top advisers knew that he had been receiving tens of millions of dollars in secret cash from the CIA, Afghanistan's senior anticorruption official said, and he added that he did not believe the Afghan leader's claim that he had been giving the agency regular receipts for the money. Mohammad Yasin Osmani, the head of the Independent Joint Anti-Corruption Monitoring and Evaluation Committee, said in an interview last week that he and 39 other advisers who audit expenditures throughout the government "were not aware" of the decade-old payouts, which Karzai acknowledged at a news conference in Kabul on May 4. But Osmani, like other Afghan government officials, was reluctant to criticize Karzai or accuse him of personal corruption, highlighting a growing friction between Afghanistan and the International Security Assistance Force led by the United States over an issue that threatens to upend the rebuilding effort here, and possibly U.S. plans for a post-2014 "strategic partnership" with Afghanistan. Many Afghan officials and politicians contend that their nation's reputation for rampant corruption is exaggerated-according to Transparency International, a monitoring group, Afghanistan is the most corrupt nation on earth, along with Myanmar, North Korea, and Somalia. They say that more to blame are poor procedures by ISAF and Washington that hand aid money directly over to graft-plagued contractors and subcontractors. Ashraf Ghani, a former finance minister who is currently the chairman of the Afghan Transition Coordination Commission, said the Karzai cash controversy is viewed in Washington as simply more evidence of Afghanistan's corrupt ways. But he asked: "What does it say about the way the American government conducts itself?" It is, perhaps, a fair point, especially coming after a decade in which the $60 billion American rebuilding effort in Iraq was deemed hopelessly corrupt-in part because, Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Stuart Bowen concluded in his final report in March, in many cases U.S. officials did not consult with Iraqis closely or deeply enough to determine what reconstruction projects were really needed. Now the Afghans are saying the same thing. Even as the security transition to the Afghan National Security Forces is said to be going more smoothly, civilian transition from U.S. to Afghan oversight is a disaster, Finance Minister Omar Zakhilwal said in an interview. "The transition has not happened," he said, although as the ISAF-formed "provincial reconstruction teams" are being dismantled. U.S. aid rules have themselves become a source of corruption, Osmani says. Too many private contractors skim off the top as they subcontract a job out, a practice that the Afghan government itself would not permit, he says. Beyond that, "nobody has the right to monitor international community projects," and yet international auditors are often too leery of going to insecure areas. So little monitoring occurs. And in some cases U.S.-built projects appear to be following the pattern in Iraq. Osmani cited a case in which the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction, John Sopko, criticized a $73 million contract given by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to DynCorp International for a shoddily built Afghan National Army base in Kunduz Province. "They didn't allow the government to go out and supervise the project!" Osmani said. The finger-pointing on both sides suggests a long-married couple-10 years of geopolitical marriage in this case-who are fed up with each other but can't bear the idea of divorce. And the mood is getting testier. In a recent report, Sopko accused the Afghan government of "targeting American contractors with unjust taxes and intimidation." Zakhilwal says the allegations are false. Even in the case of Afghanistan's biggest economic weakness, the heroin trade, Afghan officials say the corruption is far greater outside Afghanistan than inside. "From 2002 to 2009, $420 billion to $460 billion was made by international dealers , while $18 billion made by the Afghan mafia," says Ghani, citing a report by the U.N. Office on Drugs and Crime. "The illegal economy is totally integrated into globalization: with credit and transport." The question of whether Afghanistan is just too corrupt to save has shaped the entire U.S. approach to post-9/11 Afghanistan, tilting the Obama administration gradually away from "nation-building" and toward a more pared-down counterterrorism strategy. In February 2008, three U.S. senators who are today the Obama administration's key foreign-policy heavyweights-Joe Biden, Chuck Hagel, and John Kerry-had a crucial dinner with Karzai at the Afghan president's palace. After Hagel raised the subject of corruption in Karzai's government, including runaway graft and narcotics connections, Karzai replied, "My dear senator, there is no corruption in my government." Things then got testier. The American visitors insisted they had a list of corrupt officials and that Karzai's brother was at the top of it, but the Afghan leader disingenuously denied it all-until Biden, by the dessert course, threw down his napkin. "This dinner is over," he said, walking out. Hagel and Kerry followed. Biden never really regained his trust in Karzai, and by 2009, after he became Barack Obama's vice president, he turned into the new administration's No. 1 skeptic about nation-building. The doubts about Karzai, culminating in charges of election fraud, also poisoned the Afghan president's relations with the late Richard Holbrooke, Obama's special representative for Afghanistan. Karzai continues to deny charges of personal corruption, including about the CIA money. "This money was not given to warlords," he said at the May 4 news conference in Kabul. "The major part of this money was spent on government employees such as our guards.... It has been paid to individuals, not movements.... We give receipts for all these expenditures to the U.S. government." Even Osmani is skeptical about that last point. Asked whether he believed there were "receipts," he responded, "No." But there are clearly two sides to every corruption story, and the U.S. and Afghan governments need to get their stories straight if the "partnership" is to survive after 2014. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=a7c_1369184263 BekasKhan Which Is More Corrupt: Afghanistan or America?

Bill Hopkins, 79, suffered a broken jaw and was treated in hospital for two days following the unprovoked attack outside his home in Digbeth, Birmingham, last November. His granddaughter Alana Kurila, 24, found the mugger's glove in his front garden and police were able to extract the attacker's DNA from it. Bill joked: 'She likes to be called Miss Marple now.' Mugger Richard Christie, 48, was today jailed for nine years following the horrific attack He pounced on the pensioner from behind, repeatedly punching and kicking him in the head before fleeing with his wallet containing just lb40 and a memorial card from Mr Hopkins' late wife's funeral. Christie, from Sugden Grove, Highgate, admitted robbery at Birmingham Crown Court yesterday. Ex-serviceman Mr Hopkins, who served in Borneo in the 1950s, woke up bleeding on the pavement following the attack just yards from his home on Gooch Street. The great-grandfather was left particularly distraught because his injuries forced him to miss a Remembrance Day parade for the first time since serving overseas. Detective Constable Lee Dawson, from West Midlands Police, described the mugging as a 'vicious, unprovoked attack.' He added: 'The whole community were understandably outraged at the severity of the attack. 'We hope the sentence offers reassurance that we will do everything within our power to bring criminals to justice.' Speaking after the court hearing, Bill said: 'I'm glad justice has been served and Christie is behind bars. 'Thankfully I've recovered from what he did to me. It hasn't put me off going outside or anything. 'I'm just glad he is in prison and cannot hurt anybody else. Both my family and I are pleased with the sentence. 'We also can't thank the police enough. They did a fantastic job catching Christie.' Speaking shortly after the attack, Mr Hopkins' daughter Pat Kurila had broken down during a police press conference saying she feared her father might die such was the severity of his beating. The 52-year-old teaching assistant, from Highgate, Birmingham, said: 'We could have been burying him. Whoever did this is the lowest of the low.' Initially police believed the mugger had followed Mr Hopkins' home from a Ladbrokes in the Arcadian Centre, where he had won the lb40. He was pinned down and attacked outside his house at around 8pm and later spent two days in hospital. Mr Hopkins, who did his National Service in Germany and Malaya with the 11th Hussars, had said after the attack: 'The thing that most annoyed me was that I couldn't go to the remembrance parade on the Sunday as I do every year.' http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=c9a_1369148437 english-patriot33 mugger who beat ex-soldier, 78, so badly he almost died mugger ex-soldier attack beaten
