A Warning, but Clear?04/11/2004 05:14 PM The White House is trying to make the point to Americans that the new
details about the Aug. 6, 2001, briefing add up to old news.
Another missed warning?
Another missed warning?12/30/2004 04:51 PM The tsunami-warning blame game -- could the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration
have done a better job
alerting Indian Ocean countries after learning of the earthquake?
-- takes a new turn Thursday. The Washington Post reports that the
Comprehensive Test Ban Treaty Organization, based in Vienna, surely
would have picked up the earthquake "but it had no chance to alert
governments in the region because its offices were closed for the
holidays." In fact, the network doesn't even possess a communication
system capable of channeling early warning signals to the region.
Should it? Writes the Post: "Bernard Massinon, a French seismologist
who serves as scientific adviser to the test ban organization, said
the agency's seismic stations -- including eight in Indonesia,
Thailand and Sri Lanka -- could technically be linked to an early
warning system for earthquakes and tsunamis if member states decided
to do it. 'Could we help by providing real-time data from this
network?" he said. "The answer should be yes.'"

The Storm Warning That Wasn't01/08/2004 08:40 PM The folks over at the National Weather Service were a bit surprised
yesterday when they saw that they had put out an "impending blizzard
warning" when they were all sitting around marveling out how nice the
weather actually was. Turns out that someone in another office had
sent out a test message that accidentally went live. Then, thanks to our automated
world, the winter storm warning started appearing all over the
internet on weather pages that simply take information from the
National Weather Service and repost it. The only thing I can think of
is that this is the first time I've actually seen the weather people
admit that they were wrong.
NY Times: A
Disgraceful Campaign Speech. There is a danger that we'll be
hit again no matter who is elected president this November, as
President Bush himself has said on many occasions. The danger might be
a bit less if the current administration had chosen to spend less on
tax cuts for the wealthy and more on protecting our ports, securing
nuclear materials in Russia and establishing an enforceable
immigration policy that would keep better track of people who enter
the country from abroad.
On another thread here, some
Bush-Cheney defenders are gamely pretending that the full context of
Cheney's remarks shows he didn't mean exactly what he said. The full
text of those remarks -- whether you use the one from the White House
or the news organizations -- doesn't support this defense.
He said (White House version):
Because if we make the
wrong choice, then the danger is that we'll get hit again, that we'll
be hit in a way that will be devastating from the standpoint of the
United States, and that we'll fall back into the pre-9/11 mind set if
you will, that in fact these terrorist attacks are just criminal acts,
and that we're not really at war. I think that would be a terrible
mistake for us.
The key word in that sentence is
"and" right after "United States" -- and it shows that Cheney was
unartfully making separate but related charges, first that electing
Kerry would lead to another attack and second that that we'd return to
the pre-attack mindset.
Certainly, adding the second part of the sentence adds a bit more
nuance to Cheney's positions than the original AP story suggested. A
bit. (Good heavens, maybe nuance does matter after all -- even though
Bush has constantly mocked Kerry for his insistence that there are
some gray areas here and there in public policy.)
But Cheney was quite clear in what he said in the first part, and it
was outrageous. Period.
