12/13/2003 01:27 AMLila and Alma Levy are two girls of high-school age from
Aubervilliers, France who, in most countries, would probably not
attract much attention to themselves. Like millions of other young
women, they choose to wear a Muslim headscarf as an expression of
their faith[1]. However, the two girls live in France, a secular
country which does not tolerate any sign of religious expression in
public places which might jeopardise their notion of laïcité (state
atheism practised as an evangelical religion) and is moving towards a
ban on the wearing of all visible religious emblems in public schools
and possibly hospitals.[2]. Consequently, the two sisters have been
told not to return to the Lycée Henri Wallon (high school); the
pretext for this decision being that they are causing a disturbance by
coming to school wearing veils.

If you're unfortunate enough
in life to have to have some sort of medical device, like a prothesis,
or a tracheal cannula, let's say, the best thing you can probably do
is try to squeeze all the use of it you can muster. Like, say, modding
your Montgomery-brand trach into a 5 into "tracheal cannon," then
putting up a webpage documenting your adventures in blowing out
candles from six feet away with your throat. Then dress it up like a
reindeer.
Oh wait, am I writing this all as a hypothetical? Excuse me, I
meant to say someone has already done all of this and more, at the
follow internet location. (Safe for work, but that doesn't mean it
isn't sort of disturbing.) (Thanks, El Infernauta!)

MATT GALLANT -- Square-Enix has shipped
Front Mission 4 to North America. The game is not, as its title might
imply, about putting on false airs in rap communities, but rather a
consolidated political landscape of the near future whose conflicts
are resolved by giant robot battles.
The fights you command, however, are squad-sized, turn-based
battles, as you switch between a pair of seemingly unrelated plots
that start out in Germany and Venezuala and end up who knows where.
The game features a wide variety of customization options for your
bots, with lots of weapons, arms, legs, and bodies to mix and match.
The MSRP is $49.99.

04/05/2005 07:03 PMDavid Pescovitz:
This August, the ashes of the late,
great
Hunter S. Thompson will be shot from a cannon at his home.
According to his wife Anita, the cannon will be part of a 53-foot-high
sculpture of the Gonzo "fist" logo. From the Associated Press report:
"It's expensive, but worth every penny," Anita Thompson
said. "I'd like to have several explosions. He loved
explosions."
She said planning for the fist has been guided by a video of Thompson
and longtime illustrator-collaborator Ralph Steadman, recorded in the
late 1970s when they visited a Hollywood funeral home and began
mapping out the cannon scheme.

Bug bomb blows up for real
04/08/2005 12:19 PMDavid Pescovitz:
A restaurant in Perth, Australia was blown to bits on Wednesday by
several dozen anti-cockroach bug bombs. A pilot light in one of the
oven seems to have ignited the DIY fumigation chemicals. Two people
were injured and property damage is estimated at $500,000. From The
Mercury:
John McMillan, manager of the state fire investigations
unit, said the pressure wave from the blast was powerful enough to
lift the roof off the building.
"The restaurant owner has used the principle that if you use twice the
soap, you get your hands twice as clean," Mr McMillan said. "He's just
overdone it....This (cockroach bomb) is a good product, but this
incident shows if you don't read the manufacturer's instructions,
there can be very serious consequences."

CIA blows whistle on Rummy's "bullshit"
CIA blows whistle on Rummy's "bullshit"
05/17/2004 01:39 AMSeymour Hersh's piece in the new New Yorker,
"The Gray
Zone," begins thus:
| |
The roots of the Abu Ghraib prison scandal lie not in the criminal
inclinations of a few Army reservists but in a decision, approved last
year by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, to expand a highly
secret operation, which had been focussed on the hunt for Al Qaeda, to
the interrogation of prisoners in Iraq. Rumsfeld’s decision
embittered the American intelligence community, damaged the
effectiveness of elite combat units, and hurt America’s prospects
in the war on terror.
According to interviews with several past and present American
intelligence officials, the Pentagon’s operation, known inside
the intelligence community by several code words, including Copper
Green, encouraged physical coercion and sexual humiliation of Iraqi
prisoners in an effort to generate more intelligence about the growing
insurgency in Iraq. A senior C.I.A. official, in confirming the
details of this account last week, said that the operation stemmed
from Rumsfeld’s long-standing desire to wrest control of
America’s clandestine and paramilitary operations from the
C.I.A.
Rumsfeld, during appearances last week before Congress to testify
about Abu Ghraib, was precluded by law from explicitly mentioning
highly secret matters in an unclassified session. But he conveyed the
message that he was telling the public all that he knew about the
story. He said, “Any suggestion that there is not a full, deep
awareness of what has happened, and the damage it has done, I think,
would be a misunderstanding.” The senior C.I.A. official, asked
about Rumsfeld’s testimony and that of Stephen Cambone, his
Under-Secretary for Intelligence, said, “Some people think you
can bullshit anyone.”
|
Hersh's report, which seems too detailed and credible for the
administration simply to dismiss (though no doubt they will try),
suggests that the testimony Rumsfeld offered Congress last week was at
best a patchwork of outrageous omissions and at worst a passel of
outright lies.
It's also clear that Hersh's sources are intelligence officials who
decided to step forward with this tale only after Rumsfeld's
testimony. (Otherwise, presumably this material would have appeared in
one of the reporter's previous dispatches.) According to Hersh, the
"black budget" operations his piece describes were top secret, and
Rumsfeld could not have talked about them in public hearings. But
clearly, something about the definitive nature of the Defense
Secretary's insistence on the "handful of loose cannons" line enraged
someone at the CIA who knew a different story -- enraged him enough to
spill the beans to Hersh, using words like "bullshit" to describe
Rumsfeld's testimony.
It's no secret that the CIA and the Bush administration are
fighting their own war with each other, one that dates back at least
to the buildup to the Iraq war, when the intelligence service kept
telling the Bush team that there was no evidence Saddam still
possessed weapons of mass destruction, and the Bush team kept throwing
away the CIA's info and seizing anything that looked like an excuse to
invade. In each of the two biggest screwups of Bush foreign policy --
the failure to anticipate 9/11 and the invasion of Iraq -- Bush's
people have pointed fingers at the CIA and declared the problem to be
a "failure of intelligence." (Given this interpretation of history,
you'd think Bush would have given George Tenet the boot long ago. But
Tenet is loyal, and that's all that seems to matter in this
administration.)
Now the CIA is firing back. And that's perfectly understandable.
But you get the depressing feeling that, as all this bureaucratic
crossfire ricochets, the biggest casualty will be the "war on terror"
itself. Which is why the mistreatment and torture of the people we
were supposed to be liberating is not only a moral calamity but a
strategic disaster.
