12/30/2004 11:29 AMSidney Blumenthal in Salon marshalls the recent hirings and firings as
evidence that Bush is thoroughly purging the administration of those
who counseled caution in Iraq. Here are the opening lines: The
transition to President Bush's second term, filled with backstage
betrayals, plots and pathologies, would make for an excellent chapter
of "I, Claudius." To begin with, I have learned from numerous sources,
including several people close to Brent Scowcroft, that Bush has
unceremoniously and without public acknowledgment dumped Scowcroft,
his father's closest associate and friend, as chairman of the Foreign
Intelligence Advisory Board. The elder Bush's national security
advisor...

Buying the White House
Buying the White House
05/15/2004 01:12 PMWashington Post: The Bush Money Machine: Building War Chest With Few
Restraints. As Bush "Pioneers" who had raised at least $100,000
each for the president's reelection campaign, or "Rangers" who had
raised $200,000 each, the men and women who shot skeet with Cheney,
played golf with pros Ben Crenshaw and Fuzzy Zoeller and laughed at
the jokes of comedian Dennis Miller are the heart of the most
successful political money operation in the nation's history. Since
1998, Bush has raised a record $296.3 million in campaign funds,
giving him an overwhelming advantage in running against Vice President
Al Gore and now Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.). At least a third of the
total -- many sources believe more than half -- was raised by 631
people.
It's actually a tiny amount of money when
you consider the return on investment -- notably the hundreds of
billions in tax breaks for the wealthiest Americas while moving the
tax burden to those who actually work for a living, not to mention the
undermining of environmental and worker-safety programs.

04/10/2004 12:41 PMNY Times: Bush
Was Warned of Possible Attack in U.S., Official Says. The
disclosure appears to contradict the White House's repeated assertions
that the briefing the president received about the Qaeda threat was
"historical" in nature and that the White House had little reason to
suspect a Qaeda attack within American borders.
The
attacks were probably unpreventable, but it would be helpful if the
Bush administration would tell the truth about what it knew, and
when.

Astroturf journalism at the White House
Astroturf journalism at the White House
02/05/2005 10:19 PMPresident Bush has
relied on a
ringer in recent press conferences: This guy named
Jeff Gannon from a right-wing
news site called
"Talon News"
spouts the GOP party line and lobs softball questions at the prez that
repeat his own press releases.
Metafilter and
Salon's War Room have
more.
This is the dark side of the "now everyone's a journalist"
blogosphere meme, a concept that for the most part I think is
positive. But once anyone can set up as a journalist, public figures
can summon astroturf reporters to do their bidding, and officials can
"paper the house" with sympathizers the way theater producers have
always done on opening night. (This reminds me of what happened in
movie criticism in the '80s and '90s, as a variety of bozos went into
the business of providing movie "reviews" to borderline media outlets
with the sole purpose of giving the movie marketers a bottomless well
of positive quotes.)
The only answer, I suppose, is to say to the White House press
office, hey, if your bloggers and guys-with-Web-sites get to ask
questions at press conferences, the other side's should, too. Get Kos
and Atrios and Tom Tomorrow in there! Mix it up! (No way, I know.)

"Pull out, pull out", she cried, "Before
it's too late!" - Sex sells. Amidst the ongoing PR conflagration -
as
newly released imagery of the psychosexual humiliation, by US
guards at Abu Ghraib, of imprisoned Iraqis (
a naked Iraqi man on a leash held by a female American soldier,
notably) provokes widespread outrage (and the
Red Cross says things
are much worse than those pictures show), the BBC reports on
informed speculation that the perfect storm of a growing insurgency,
political reversals, and a PR debacle will lead to a hasty coalition
pullout from Iraq. A frustrated and tense
"Machine Gun
Cheney" achieves release, via his wheelbarrel load of 30
guns (including a Thompson), blasting away at a Secret Service gun
range. His aim, they say, is very good. But will Cheney bite the
bullet and level with the American public about what it will now take
for the US to
prevail in Iraq ? White House yields to 9/11 panel

Telrad and the Hacking of the White
House
Telrad and the Hacking of the White
House
09/02/2004 12:20 PMIs
raeli spies tapped Clinton e-mail: This is a very old story (and a
reprint of a dead link at a British newspaper), but one that the spy
junkie in me just finds fascinating.
Apparently, in the late nineties, Israel had — get this
— a direct connection into the email of the President of the
United States. They could essentially read Clinton's emails (oh, wait
— he didn't send any...)
Sources in Israel say intelligence agents infiltrated Telrad, a
company that had been subcontracted by Nortel, America's largest
telecommunications conglomerate, to help develop a communications
system for the White House.
Company managers were said to have been unaware that virtually
undetectable chips installed during manufacture made it possible for
outside agents to tap into the flow of data from the White House.
Information being sent from the president to his senior staff in
the National Security Council and outside government departments could
be copied into a secret Israeli computer in Washington, the sources
said. It was transferred to Tel Aviv two or three times a week.
Does anyone know how this all ended up? The sheer brazeness of
something like this just kills me. I mean, that takes guts —
installing a hardware backdoor into the White House communications
system.
And talk about removing the sysadmins from the equation. If your
hardware vendor has installed a backdoor at the physical, hardware
level, what are you supposed to do? How can you defend against that?
Related to that, I'm curious as to how the data got out of the
network — it had to be transmitted somehow, and could it have
been detected leaving the network?
