Sakineh Mohammadi Ashtiani's family turned away from prison visit | World news | The Guardian
..."her son Sajad, 22 and daughter Saeedeh, 17, were told she was unwilling to see them. Later, when she was allowed to phone her son, it emerged she had been told by guards that no one had come to visit and that her children had abandoned her, Sajad told the Guardian. "[The officials have become obstinate – they are seeking just different ways to mistreat my mother and us as her children," he said Mohammadi Ashtiani's government-appointed lawyer, Houtan Kian, has been unable to visit her since she appeared on TV this month and confessed to involvement in her husband's murder. Human rights campaigners say the confession was made under duress. This week Kian's house in Tabriz was ransacked by government officials who confiscated documents and laptops after breaking down the fron door. He said: "The government appointed me to represent Sakineh but now they are angry because they see that even I admit that she's completely innocent." Another defence lawyer, Mohammad Mostafaei,
was
forced to flee Iran after a warrant for his arrest was issued. Kian said: "Now it's my turn but I am not going anywhere. I'm here to defend her 'til the end even if they put me in jail. He described the stoning sentence as "unbelievably ridiculous", adding that while she had been accused of adultery, her putative lover had no been named"She's been sentenced to death by stoning for adultery but no one else s named in the sentence for her adultery charges, so who has she had sex with? No one is named in the sentence. She's been convicted of adultery because the judge thought she had extramarital sex, but with whom?" .....

The Associated Press: 3 1/2-year sentence ordered in Iran missile part case
..."Speaking through a Mandarin Chinese interpreter, Chen told the judge that "because of my gnorance, I violated U.S. law. I am very, very sorry." But e-mails intercepted by U.S. investigators show Chen fully understood the U.S. embargo against Iran and went to great lengths to evade it. In one 2009 e-mail, Chen told a customer n Tehran, Iran, that "we cannot tell USA this connector is for you. So we have to tell a white lie to USA that this is for our factory in Hong Kong. Assistant U.S. Attorney Jacqueline Arango said Chen's actions were "detrimental to U.S foreign policy and national security. Chen, who has already spent seven months in jail, will likely be deported to Taiwan after his release from prison Investigators based in South Florida learned about Chen after he tried to arrange for the export of 2,000 detonators through an unnamed California company. Eventually, an undercover federal agent posing as a Cincinnati-based supplier began communicating via e-mail with Chen. The e-mails show Chen shipped two P200 Turbine engines and spare parts to Iran via Hong Kong in 2007, labeling them on an invoice as "a starter
for a

The NSSF on the EPA's effort to outlaw most ammo #tcot #tlot #2ndamendment
From the NSSF blog: http://www.nssfblog.com/epa-considering-ban-on-traditional-ammunition-take-ac...
NSSF urges you to stress the following in your opposition
* There is no scientific evidence that the use of traditional ammunition is having an adverse impact on wildlife populations
* Wildlife management is the proper jurisdiction of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the 50 state wildlife agencies
* A 2008 study by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention on blood lead levels of North Dakota hunters confirmed that consuming game harvested with traditional ammunition does not pose a human health risk
* A ban on traditional ammunition would have a negative impact on wildlife conservation. The federal excise tax that manufacturers pay on the sale of the ammunition (11 percent) is a primary source of wildlife conservation funding The bald eagle’s recovery, considered to be a great conservation success story, was made possible and funded by hunters using traditional ammunition – the very ammunition organizations like the CBD are now demonizing*
* Recent statistics from the United States Fish and Wildlife Service show that from 1981 to 2006 the number of breeding pairs of bald eagles in the United States increased 724 percent. And much like the bald eagle, raptor populations throughout the United States are soaring. 2. Contact Lisa Jackson directly to voice your opposition to the ban Lisa P. Jackson Administrator, U.S. Environmenta Protection Agency 1200 Pennsylvania Ave., NW Washington, DC 20460(202) 564-4700 Fax: (202) 501-1450 Email: jackson.lisa@epa.gov Comment online at the EPA:

My thoughts on the August 24 primary #tcot #tlot #teaparty
As I noted earlier I began studying this primary relatively late & must now turn my attention to the Louisiana primary,et-al & the general election. Alaska As I have noted before I support Joe Miller.See the link below for why: http://theneointellectual.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/joe-miller-vs-murkowski-on... Murkowski denounces Palin for using the phrase "Death Panels": "Murkowski: Don't tell lies about the health-care reform bill": http://www.adn.com/2009/08/11/895431/murkowski-dont-tell-lies-about.html
Arizona: Mccain won.The less said about him the better.I have not yet decided whether the menace the man poses with his effort to "remake the GOP in his own center-right image",(see below), outweighs losing his seat.(Assuming he could even be beaten). See:
John Mccain's Mission a GOP makeover http://www.politico.com/news/stories/1009/27832.html AZ03:
Quayle won.Gorman did not.While I do not know that much about Gorman,Erick Erickson at Redstate made a compelling case for her here: Surprisingly, Jesse Kelly the "Tea Party candidate" for the GOP nomination won in Arizona's 8th district.He will go up against Giffords. Kelly pulls off upset over Paton: http://azcapitoltimes.com/news/2010/08/24/kelly-leads-paton-in-cd8/ Florida:
Governor GOP candidate:
Scott,surprisingly,beat Mccollum.Frankly I don't think it particularly matters RE:Obamacare.However the Medicare fraud charges brought against his former company,(see below),plus the charge that his company profited from abortions probably will lead at least some Pro-life voters to stay home.

See this link for my recommendations: http://theneointellectual.wordpress.com/2010/08/23/my-recommendations-for-the...
Fl12
Dennis Ross has won.He has signed both the Repealit & Defundit pledges. He will be running for Adam Putnam's seat Fl20
Karen Harrington won the nomination.So far as I know either she or Donna Milo would have been fine as Harrington signed the Repealit & Defundit pledge & Milo the Defundit pledge. Harrington raised more money. Neither are likely to defeat the loathsome & repellent Debbie Wasserman-Schultz. Fl24 Sandy Adams appears to have won though Diebel has not yet conceded,(though Miller has).
.Of the three frontrunners Deibel advocates private free-market solutions.Unfortunately,questions have been raised about her mental stability).She & Miller are the two top fundraisers.
Adams advocates Government solutions on the state level,which will undercut her ability to fight Obamacare on principle.Craig Miller was the most worrisome since he stated on his website that he would not be opposed to inserting Stupak language into Obamacare.(the statement has since been removed but is still stored in Google's cache,see the link below).This,in effect,is the position of the Council of Catholic Bishops.They are fully supportive of a bill that devalues human life through rationing,so long as the rationing begins after birth.Fortunately he has lost.

Here is the text:
"As a Catholic, my faith teaches me that all life is precious and begins at conception. I’m pro-life, and I look forward to the day when Roe v. Wade is overturned in America.

My recommendations for the 8th district of #Florida #Fl08 #tcot #tlot #teaparty #obamacare #repealit
RRD:I apologize for not paying more attention to the various races,(& thus for the rushed & necessarily incomplete nature of these recommendations).I endorse Kurt Kelly & Todd Long because they have signed the Repealit &/or Defundit pledges & have the best fundraising records of those who have signed the pledge.
As a fallback position Bruce O'Donoghue pledges to "repeal & replace",but has not signed the pledge.He has been endorsed by Chuck Devore though.
Dan Webster has neither signed the pledges nor mentioned repealing Obamacare on his website.I also cannot find any mention of his opposition to Obamacare on the web.So I will not only not support him,I urge you to support one of those two others.
Let me add,that these recommendations are based on what information I have been able to compile in the little time I have devoted to this.Let me also add that my endorsement of these individuals should not be taken as a endorsement of all their positions. The Defundit pledge page:

Joe Miller vs Murkowski on #obamacare & whether the Constitution is a "living document" #Aksen #Alaska #AK #tcot #tlot #teaparty
From Ace of Spades "The big argument was about Obamacare. Joe Miller renewed his charges that Murkowski's votes to repeal Obamacrare were merely procedural votes and didn't really count while Murkowski responded by showing how each vote was specifically worded to call for the repeal of Obamacare. Miller did nail down the precise difference between himself and Lisa on health care; while Lisa wants to find a government health care plan that works, Miller believes government should have NO ROLE in health care. " " A secondary argument about the Constitution broke out. Miller asked Murkowski if she had ever voted for an unconstitutional bill, a question which I thought was a bit silly. Lisa responded that every bill she voted for, in her opinion, was constitutional, and rejected a strict interpretation of the Constitution, implying that it is a "living document."....

UK Professor: Rationing by Waiting Isn’t All Bad NCPA #repealit #obamacare #tcot #tlot
..."At the time that Black wrote this editorial, the United States had virtually eliminated waiting lists for surgery. Its hospitals were more efficient than those of the NHS and its medical schools managed to adequately train physicians. It had also treated larger and larger numbers of patients as its population grew. Americans patients referred for surgery had already determined that their symptoms wouldn’t resolve without it, and they somehow managed to prepare for their operations without going through long periods of uncertainty about when they would actually be treated. In the future, however, things may be very different"...

Divisive debate on Ground Zero M.Zuhdi Jasser
..."Denial is the tool of the narcissist. Islamists insist that they are misunderstood. But it is they who misunderstand America and ignore the pre-modern ideologies that permeate many interpretations of Islam So this Ramadan, I propose we focus on some core humanitarian values. Let us spend a week on each. First, we need to lift up the principles of the U.S. Constitution and its Establishment Clause over any other legal system, including Shariah. Second, we need to celebrate our devotion to American nationalism and its universal equality "under God. Third, let us celebrate modernity and the Enlightenment and the hard work we have yet to do to bring Islamic thought into this era. Last, let us focus on Quranic scripture and realize passages that need reinterpretation. Our major holiday at the end of Ramadan will fall the day before the ninth anniversary of 9/11.

Castle may support #filibuster reform #rino #Desen #tcot #tlot #teaparty
RRD: Unsurprisingly a GOP co-sponsor of the DISCLOSE act has said that he may help the Democrats weaken one of the last obstacles in their path to raping our liberties,(never mind that Republicans will use it against them),the filibuster.Castle must be defeated.Our only chance,no matter how difficult,is to get Christine O'Donnell the nomination & then move heaven & earth to get her elected.
.."Castle is the Republican Senate candidate from Delaware. I asked him if he’d consider joining with other Senators to change the Senate filibuster rules. He said, “I might,” and continued to say that this would be something he may speak about before the election" http://www.starkreports.com/2010/08/11/rep-mike-castle-on-filibuster-reform/

350 Afghan clerics demand return of #stoning #gwot #p2 #tcot #womensrights
RRD:I have posted this to the Americans for Freedom in Iran blog even though it does not directly concern Iran because many Iranians are part of the International anti-stoning campaign. "militants away from a growing insurgency About 350 of the Islamic clerics, or ulema, met for three days this week, the meeting ending with a declaration calling on President Hamid Karzai to enact sharia, or Islamic law, including punishments such as stonings, lashing, amputation and execution"The lack of implementation of sharia hodud(punishment) has cast a negative impact on the peace process," said a 10-point resolution issued after the meeting"

From the Guardian:Up to 1 in 10 sons of #iraq defect to #alqaeda due to threats & lack of pay #tcot #gwot
..."Sheikh Sabah al-Janabi, a leader of the Awakening Council – also known as the Sons of Iraq – based in Hila, 60 miles south of Baghdad, told the Guardian that 100 out of 1,800 rank-and-file members had not collected their salaries for the last two months a clear sign, he believes, that they are now taking money from their former enemies".... ..."Ten days ago, I was in a cafe with another person from my neighbourhood. He was working with us also. Two people came to me I knew them. They were from my area. They said: 'You know the Sons of Iraq experiment has failed and they will be slaughtered one after the other'If you work with us, we will support you. We will give you a good salary and you can do whatever operation you want to do. You will get extra money for anything that you do that hits the Americans,or the Iraqi forces.' The second member, Sabah al-Nouri, 32, from west Baghdad, said he too had been approached by Sons of Iraq members who were acting as double agents"I am responsible for leading a group in al-Haswa district in Abu Ghraib," he said. "Two months ago, al-Qaida contacted me through people who worked with me.They gave me a good offer,a reward for each operation and a pledge to support me and protect me"They said they would give me a weapon, a licence to carry one. There were a lot of promises. They said I
would have more authority than I have now. They said: 'We have not hurt you, why are you working against us?' Major Mudher al-Mowla, who is in charge of the Sons of Iraq inside the Iraqi reconciliation ministry, said the government had recently learned of the cash offers and coercion. "We have learned about this, especially in Adhamiyeh [in West Baghdad] and we have started investigating. We are waiting for the results. The US government has granted visas to many Sons of Iraq members and claims that future applications to emigrate to the US from Sons of Iraq leaders would be well received. Both the Pentagon and White House have hailed the Sons of Iraq experience as a triumph during seven difficult years of war Some commanders believe Sons of Iraq leaders are overstating an al Qaida putsch because they fear the unknown once the Americans leave. But they remain warm in their praise of the people they claim helped pave a way for their exit"The Sons of Iraq have displayed persona
l and
physical courage on behalf of their country," said Lieutenant Colonel Bob Owen, chief of the media operations centre at the US embassy in Baghdad. "When they partnered with the government of Iraq to counter the insurgency, they played a pivotal role in disrupting al-Qaida and reducing Iraqi civilian deaths"The people of Iraq and Iraqi leaders at every level of government are grateful for the courage and personal sacrifices the Sons of Iraq have made and continue to make for the safety, security and future success and prosperity of the country."

Dems try to change #filibuster w/o 67 votes #DISCLOSE #tcot #tlot #teaparty
RRD:The human debris who occupy our Capitol have contempt,(or indifference),towards our rights.(And YES I am talking about many in both parties).Anything that slows down or stops these fools,so long as it does not violate the Constitution,is good.I
support judicial filibusters,& do not believe that they are unconstitutional.It is imperative that we do everything possible to slow down,& stop,the violation of individual rights.The fact that there are those who believe that Congress is unpopular because of "gridlock",(as opposed to passing laws that the majority do not agree with),shows,once again that there is no limit to the capacity of humans for self delusion.
...."Many Democrats have grown serious about ending what they regard as GOP abuse of the filibuster rules, before their legislation meets the same stalled fate in the 112th Congress, when Democrats anticipate having a smaller majority. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid along with Majority Whip Dick Durbin of Illinois support changing filibuster rules when the new Congress convenes in January. Technically, it takes 67 votes to change Senate rules, an unreachable number, but Democrats are looking at a procedural measure that arguably allows for a simple majority to do the trick at the start of next session. ..... Last Wednesday, the Senate Rules Committee, chaired by New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, held the fourth in a series of hearings on filibuster reform. New Jersey Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg proposed using the movie classic Mr. Smith Goes to Washington as a reference point. Lautenberg said his "Mr. Smith bill" would keep the three-fifths majority requirement to cut off
debate, but would force filibustering senators to speak on the floor for as long as they were willing to block the bill, as a lone senator played by Jimmy Stewart does in the 1939 film. A rule established in 1964 permits senators to resume other business during a filibuster. "The filibuster—which used to be an extraordinary event—has become nothing more than a routine dilatory tactic," argued Lautenberg. "And it is now a silent filibuster—you can expend next to no effort to slow down and stop the Senate from considering legislation." ..,. http://politics.usnews.com/news/articles/2010/08/06/democrats-prepare-to-figh...
