Marc Danziger, a.k.a. the ``Armed Liberal'' Web logger, supported the war in Iraq. Britt Blaser, a Howard Dean campaign adviser, did not. Yet they agree on at least one thing about that Middle Eastern nation's struggle: However right or wrong America's official policy may be, Americans should do what we can to help Iraqis. More...

No aid for America's bad image

No aid for America's bad image 12/30/2004 04:51 PM
By lying low in the wake of the Asian tsunami, and then surfacing to pledge the relatively small amount of $35 million in relief aid, has President Bush squandered an opportunity to mend America's image abroad? It's a provocative question posed by David Sanger in the New York Times Thursday, in which he quotes Morton Abramowitz, who served as American ambassador to Thailand a quarter century ago and went on to become one of the founders of the International Crisis Group, which helps prepare governments to respond to unexpected shocks. "It's a tragedy but it is also an opportunity to demonstrate that terrorism doesn't drive out everything else," Abramowitz said. "It's a chance for him to show what kind of country we are."

America's First POWs. The Department of Defense says there were 4,435 battle deaths during the Revolutionary War. More than twice as many Americans died in British prison ships in New York Harbor. You can get an idea of their suffering from the news stories I've linked, or read a more detailed account written in the 1860s from Henry R. Stiles's A History of the City of Brooklyn (scroll down a bit and keep hitting Next). There are more links at this site, which focuses on the long-neglected Monument for the Prison Ship Martyrs in Brooklyn's Fort Greene Park. A remembrance for Memorial Day.

This study, compiled in summer 2003, pieces together a literacy profile of America's 64 largest cities, drawing from U.S. Census data, newspaper circulation rates, library resources, publishers and other public documents. The study, authored by University of Wisconsin-Whitewater Chancellor and education Professor Jack Miller, draws on statistics from five categories and 13 different measures of literacy to provide a ranking for all cities with a population of 250,000 or more. The Top 10:

1) Minneapolis, MN
2) Seattle, WA
3) Denver, CO
4) Atlanta, GA
5) San Francisco, CA

America's Online Pursuits: The Changing Picture of Who's Online and What They Do
http://ww w.pewinternet.org/reports/toc.asp?Report=106

A report by the Pew Internet & American Life Project analyzing the responses of more than 64,000 Americans to phone surveys in the past three years shows that 63 percent of U.S. adults now are online and many of them - especially those with several years of online experience - have built Internet use into their lives in practical ways. Among our findings about change in the Internet world over time:

- Online activity has consistently grown over the course of our research. Internet users discover more things to do online as they gain experience and as new applications become available. This momentum often fuels increasing reliance on the Internet in everyday life and higher expectations about the things people can do online.

- Despite this growth in activity, the growth of the online population itself has slowed. There was almost no growth over the course of 2002 and there has been only a small uptick in recent months to leave the size of the online U.S. adult population at 63 percent of all those 18 and over.

- Different people use the Internet in different ways. The report is full of examples of how people in different demographic groups use the Internet for different purposes.

- Experience and the quality of online connections matter. Those with more experience online and those who have high-speed connections at home generally do more online more often than those with lower levels of experience and those with dial-up connections. The growth of the cohort of veteran users, those with at least three years of online experience, has been striking. Nearly three-quarters of Internet users have at least three years of experience.

- Online Americans' experience with the commercial side of the Internet has expanded dramatically in spite of the economic slump. Financial and transaction activities such as online banking and online auctions have grown more than any other genre of activity.

- Email continues to be the "killer app" of the Internet. More people use email than do any other activity online. Many report their email use increases their communication with key family and friends and enhances their connection to them.

- Big news stories drive lasting changes in the news-seeking audience online.

America's Problem - How Torture Came
Down From The Top

America's Problem - How Torture Came
Down From The Top 08/27/2004 01:51 PM
How Torture Came Down From the Top  The latest official reports on the prisoner abuse scandal contain a classic Washington contradiction. Their headlines proclaim that no official policy mandated or allowed the torture of detainees in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that no officials above the rank of colonel deserve prosecution or formal punishment. But buried in their hundreds of pages of detail, for anyone who cares to read them, is a clear and meticulous account of how decisions made by President Bush, his top political aides and senior military commanders led directly to those searing images of naked prisoners being menaced with guard dogs.  (More Inside)

Diminishing America's Meaning

Diminishing America's Meaning 06/10/2004 11:35 AM

Richard Cohen (Washington Post): A Plunge from the Moral Heights. The Bush administration constantly reminds us that there's a war on. That's wrong. There are two. One is being fought by soldiers in combat, and the other is being fought for the hearts and minds of people who are not yet our enemies. However badly the administration has botched the first war -- where, oh where, is Osama bin Laden? -- it has done even worse with the second. It has jutted its chin to the world, appeared pugnacious and unilateralist, permitted the abuse of POWs and others at Abu Ghraib, and now toyed in some fashion with torture. The Bush administration has shamed us all, reducing us to the level of those governments that also have wonderful laws forbidding torture, but condone it anyway.

Even if there wasn't a moral issue, you'd imagine that even this crowd would grasp the practical necessity of treating prisoners with decency. If we declare license to do this to other nations' combatants, other nations will do it to ours. But the issue is deeper. As Michael Froomkin, professor of law at the University of Miami, notes on his blog, the adminstration's rationale is truly frightening. Of a redacted copy of the Justice Department memo Ashcroft won't give Congress but which has been leaked widely to the media, Froomkin writes:

(It) sets out a view of an unlimited Presidential power to do anything he wants with “enemy combatants”. The bill of rights is nowhere mentioned. There is no principle suggested which limits this purported authority to non-citizens, or to the battlefield. Under this reasoning, it would be perfectly proper to grab any one of us and torture us if the President determined that the war effort required it. I cannot exaggerate how pernicious this argument is, and how incompatible it is with a free society. The Constitution does not make the President a King. This memo does.

Will this be the catalyst that helps Congress find its spine?

America's laziest fascist

America's laziest fascist Inside Michael Savage's hatefest. I can't tell if this is offensive or just sadly pathetic. Salon: But if the first half of the event showcased Savage's ability to stir the faithful, the second half was an object lesson in how a performer can take his audience -- and his talent -- for granted. Basically, he bombed. He spent nearly 20 minutes sitting in a stuffed chair in front of a television set, free-associating as he channel surfed. Seeing footage of Jordan's King Abdullah, he screamed, "Kiss my ass! Shut the hell up!" To a soccer match in Spanish, he quipped, "Reminds me of my gardener." It was about as entertaining as watching a middle-aged man yelling at his living room TV. Savage eventually realized things weren't going well. "You don't like this shit," he said. "It's a bad act."

Airline Meltdowns

Airline Meltdowns 12/27/2004 09:38 PM
It's easy to understand the frustration felt by the workers at hard-pressed US Airways (and other legacy airlines), who've seen the bottom drop out of their companies' finances and their own paychecks in the past couple of years. But if it turns out that last weekend's "operational meltdown" at US Airways (the airline management's own description) was due, as has been charged, to an employee sickout, then the workers will have helped kill what's left of their own jobs. The unions are blaming management's lousy planning, which is definitely a possibility. Bad weather contributed, too, no doubt. Maybe it's all of the above. Meanwhile, the t echnology meltdown at Comair, a regional carrier that came completely to a halt, is just incredible. I can't wait to hear what caused this. When passengers start deciding they can't remotely count on a carrier, they'll stop buying tickets, period. There are too many choices.

An Indiana company called Anthem will acquire WellPoint Health Networks, the Southern California outfit that owns Blue Cross of California, for about $16.4 billion. The deal has drawn harsh criticism for many reasons. Not least is the display of raw greed by the insider executives who stand to collect somewhere between $200 million and $600 million in payouts after the buyout is concluded. More...
