Hive is the stage name of Michael Petrie (born December 1974),[1] a San Francisco-based DJ, producer, and record label owner who has contributed to dozens of recordings in the drum and bass musical genre. He owns the label Violence Recordings.
DJ Hive, along with Alien Nation (Orion South and Phoenix Orion) and Daddy Kev, was an integral part in the formation of Celestial Recordings. Some notable Celestial Recordings releases that Hive was a part of include Phoenix Orion's Zimulated Experiencez and the compilation Celestial Squadron. Hive's seminal solo release Hip-Hop 2023, which infused drum and bass with hip-hop, was also released on Celestial.
- Working With Sound (1997)
- Devious Methods (1998)
- The Raw Uncut (2001)
- Hip-Hop 2023 (2001)
- Bedlam (2002)
- Welcome to Violence (compilation) (2005)
- Salvation (compilation) (2010)
In popular culture[edit]
Although not as famous as some DJs, Hive's mixes have been used throughout popular media. His most noteworthy track is entitled "Ultrasonic Sound" which heavily samples the song "Re-Ignition" by the hardcore punk group Bad Brains. This track has been used in a number of places:
- The sci-fi feature film The Matrix features the song in its soundtrack.
- The television network Fox frequently played the track during Sunday football games when airing their description of the following week's football line-up.
- The website Newgrounds' housed a classic game, Pico's School, which used the track as its main theme and background music.
- A music video was also produced for the song, directed by Tamim Nashir, which focuses on a woman stealing some kind of computer data and then getting caught by a man in a business suit, presumably a security guard of some sort, who knocks her down with some kind of stun laser and then picks up the briefcase she was carrying and gets electrocuted and knocked out. This footage is also inter-cut with scenes of a woman with wires coming out of her head dancing, and a bald man in a dark, industrial-looking room wearing nothing but shorts acting like he is in severe pain and pounding on the floor with his fists. The video is notable for only being 2 minutes and 22 seconds in length excluding more than 50 percent of the song.

"We used this for the birth announcement of our sweet girl. They came out beautifully. I usually am a big fan of the pearl paper but I do feel that in this case it took away from the overall look."
"The cards I ordered came quicker than expected and were wonderful quality. Tinyprints was the only company I could find that had Holiday Cards that were also Birth Announcements."
"We were looking for a combo birth announcement/Christmas card and this was perfect for our needs. I loved so many of the options available at this website, yet this was our favorite for our precious little girl. I really liked the paper quality for the professional pictures we used on the card. As well it looks very professional overall instead of a glossy picture card, which can look a little cheap. Everyone has commented how great the pics are, which means the pics are showcased well. That's what we wanted. Also like the feature of this card that it has print and picture options on the back. I will be coming back to shop on this site again for our family cards!"
"After playing around for hours on tinyprints site, I came across this template. (The site is addictive). Love that it showcases 2 photos on front and allows for 3 on the back. I requested the back be a solid pink to match the pink on front and that was accommodated for free. You should take advantage of the free designer help as they can manipulate your photos (add more or remove extra) or move placement/adjust size as you want. It does take an extra day or so but worth it. I paid for the rounded corners which I think really enhances the look. I went w the standard paper matte finish and was very impressed w the weight/quality of the paper. The finished product was gorgeous and I'm getting a lot of happy calls from recipients. My husband likes it so much be bought a special lucite frame so we can see both sides. I changed the font on "It's a girl", but I forget the name. Love that pretty much everything can be customized - I will come back to Tiny Prints again !"
"This announcement is so elegant and was exactly what I was searching for to announce the arrival of my little one. The quality of the card stock was excellent and I got many compliments on it! I'll definitely be back!"

Wrong, wrong and wrong again – a response to "Latvia: let the lat go"
- Morten Hansen is a guest columnist, the views expressed are his own. He is head of the economics department at the Stockholm School of Economics in Riga -
The debate for or against a Latvian fixed exchange rate rages on. There are good pieces of analyses on both sides of the debate, there are less good ones, there are mediocre ones – and then there is Jonathan Ford's "Latvia: let the lat go" from 29 July.
The article does not argue why the lat should be devalued –- fair enough, the arguments have been heard before. Neither does it mention all the potential risks of devaluation such as a currency collapse but I can live with that, too. But an 804-word article that contains no less than 10 – 10! – inaccuracies or outright wrong statements is highly objectionable.
For those who have read Mr. Ford's article allow me to make comments on these 10 points.
"The central bank has been obliged to raise interest rates" –- no it lowered its refinancing rate from six percent to five percent on 24 March 2009 and to four percent on 24 May. And lat rates are not that important anyway for Latvians as most loans are in euro.
'Äú… a host of non-Latvians … have urged the small Baltic state to cleave to its currency board system'Äù. Latvia operates a fixed exchange rate system that allows the lat to fluctuate at +/- one percent around a parity of 0.702804 LVL/EUR; it is not a currency board. More importantly a host of non-Latvians have recommended devaluation (Nouriel Roubini and Kenneth Rogoff among others), arguing that maintaining the peg is a foreign plot is just plain wrong 'Äì- it is actually the Latvian authorities that have demanded this.
'Äú…which pegs the lat at the wildly uncompetitive rate of 0.702804 to the euro'Äù. Proof? I believe myself that the lat is overvalued but I haven'Äôt seen any analysis pointing at it being 'Äúwildly uncompetitive'Äù.
"Far from cutting spending and raising taxes, Western countries have done the opposite". True –- and Latvia would have preferred that but due to an unsustainably procyclical fiscal policy in the boom days it is not possible as the ensuing budget deficits could not be financed as it cannot borrow in international financial markets.
Latvia can only maintain a budget deficit via the loans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the European Union (EU); without those it would have to run a balanced budget which would be even more contractionary for the economy.
Mr. Ford argues, based on analysis from the 1930s that "those which clung on [to their pegs] became highly protectionist". In the days of the EU and World Trade Organisation that analysis is hardly an indicator worth anything.
"As the de facto lender of last resort [the Germans], they had no desire to admit any more members to the currency bloc". The lender of last resort is of course the European Central Bank and while Germany may or may not want more eurozone members, it is the Maastricht criteria and their interpretation that determines entry –- witness Slovakia that entered just half a year ago.
"This might set off contagion, with competitive devaluations across Central Europe" -– yep, and if everybody (or at least many) devalues, the impact on competitiveness will be minimal in the end and thus hardly worthwhile in the first place.
'Äú…drafted protocols that automatically committed all the joiners to euro membership'Äù 'Äì but the Latvians are not unhappy about this; on the contrary they crave eurozone membership!
"They know [the internal devaluation] it's hurting, but it isn't working" –- well, come and see for yourself! Wage decreases are the norm here!
OK, one is allowed to be against the euro or to believe that the IMF/EU package for Latvia is a sinister Brussels-led cabal –- but for Mr. Ford's article to obtain at least a small degree of credibility it would be nice if it at least got the facts right.

found this yesterday in TSN.com, Mario was at the top of the list of "hits".
Please delete if its a repeat...
Hits and misses from '07: defensive players
Yesterday, I reviewed my
offensive breakout players for the 2007 NFL season
and tallied how many hits and misses I had. Today, let's look back at my defensive picks.
Mario Williams, DE,
Houston Texans
His selection as the league's defensive player of the week in the opening game was a harbinger. Williams started all 16 games at right end, recorded 14 sacks (tied for third in the league) and was picked as a Pro Bowl alternate. Maybe the Texans knew what they were doing after all when they selected Williams instead of Reggie Bush with the No. 1 pick in the 2006 draft.
Hit or miss:
I think its becoming fashionable to admit "they knew what they were doing after all..."
I need a "smug" smiley right now
Loyalty to any one sports team is pretty hard to justify. ...the players are always changing, the team can move to another city, you're actually rooting for the clothes when you get right down to it.

Rabia al Basri
Dream Fable Poem by Rabia al Basri
I saw myself in a wide green garden, more beautiful than I could begin to understand. In this garden was a young girl. I said to her, "How wonderful this place is!"
"Would you like to see a place even more wonderful than this?" she asked.
"Oh yes," I answered. Then taking me by the hand, she led me on until we came to a magnificent palace, like nothing that was ever seen by human eyes. The young girl knocked on the door, and someone opened it. Immediately both of us were flooded with light.
Only Allah knows the inner meaning of the maidens we saw living there. Each one carried in her hand a serving-tray filled with light. The young girl asked the maidens where they were going, and they answered her, "We are looking for someone who was drowned in the sea, and so became a martyr. She never slept at night, not one wink! We are going to rub funeral spices on her body."
"Then rub some on my friend here," the young girl said.
"Once upon a time," said the maidens, "part of this spice and the fragrance of it clung to her body -- but then she shied away."
Quickly the young girl let go of my hand, turned, and said to me:
"Your prayers are your light;
Your devotion is your strength;
Sleep is the enemy of both.
Your life is the only opportunity that life can give you.
If you ignore it, if you waste it,
You will only turn to dust."
Then the young girl disappeared.

Scientists at Seattle Children's Research Institute have discovered an area of the brain that could control a person's motivation to exercise and participate in other rewarding activities – potentially leading to improved treatments for depression.
Dr. Eric Turner, a principal investigator in Seattle Children's Research Institute's Center for Integrative Brain Research, together with lead author Dr. Yun-Wei (Toni) Hsu, have discovered that a tiny region of the brain – the dorsal medial habenula – controls the desire to exercise in mice. The structure of the habenula is similar in humans and rodents and these basic functions in mood regulation and motivation are likely to be the same across species.
Exercise is one of the most effective non-pharmacological therapies for depression. Determining that such a specific area of the brain may be responsible for motivation to exercise could help researchers develop more targeted, effective treatments for depression.
"Changes in physical activity and the inability to enjoy rewarding or pleasurable experiences are two hallmarks of major depression," Turner said. "But the brain pathways responsible for exercise motivation have not been well understood. Now, we can seek ways to manipulate activity within this specific area of the brain without impacting the rest of the brain's activity."
Dr. Turner's study, titled "Role of the Dorsal Medial Habenula in the Regulation of Voluntary Activity, Motor Function, Hedonic State, and Primary Reinforcement," was published today by the Journal of Neuroscience and funded by the National Institute of Mental Health and National Institute on Drug Abuse. The study used mouse models that were genetically engineered to block signals from the dorsal medial habenula. In the first part of the study, Dr. Turner's team collaborated with Dr. Horacio de la Iglesia, a professor in University of Washington's Department of Biology, to show that compared to typical mice, who love to run in their exercise wheels, the genetically engineered mice were lethargic and ran far less. Turner's genetically engineered mice also lost their preference for sweetened drinking water.
"Without a functioning dorsal medial habenula, the mice became couch potatoes," Turner said. "They were physically capable of running but appeared unmotivated to do it."
In a second group of mice, Dr. Turner's team activated the dorsal medial habenula using optogenetics – a precise laser technology developed in collaboration with the Allen Institute for Brain Science. The mice could "choose" to activate this area of the brain by turning one of two response wheels with their paws. The mice strongly preferred turning the wheel that stimulated the dorsal medial habenula, demonstrating that this area of the brain is tied to rewarding behavior.
Past studies have attributed many different functions to the habenula, but technology was not advanced enough to determine roles of the various subsections of this area of the brain, including the dorsal medial habenula.
"Traditional methods of stimulation could not isolate this part of the brain," Turner said. "But cutting-edge technology at Seattle Children's Research Institute makes discoveries like this possible."
As a professor in the University of Washington Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Dr. Turner treats depression and hopes this research will make a difference in the lives of future patients.
"Working in mental health can be frustrating," Turner said. "We have not made a lot of progress in developing new treatments. I hope the more we can learn about how the brain functions the more we can help people with all kinds of mental illness."
Consistently ranked as one of the best children's hospitals in the country by U.S. News & World Report, Seattle Children's serves as the pediatric and adolescent academic medical referral center for the largest landmass of any children's hospital in the country (Washington, Alaska, Montana and Idaho). For more than 100 years, Seattle Children's has been delivering superior patient care while advancing new treatments through pediatric research. Seattle Children's serves as the primary teaching, clinical and research site for the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Washington School of Medicine. The hospital works in partnership with Seattle Children's Research Institute and Seattle Children's Hospital Foundation.

I'm always a bit impatient with acne products. When I have a breakout, I want a quick fix. (Don't we all?)
The first time I used these, I was hooked on the scent, and the fact that they didn't burn or dry out my skin. Though they aren't an overnight miracle, I was diligent about using them every day. Within about two weeks, my skin was clearing up. I wished they could work a little faster on me, that being said, I still come back to this product because it does work- eventually- and it also keeps my skin soft, without irritation.
I use Peter Thomas Roth face wash and love the difference it has made, using these pads in combination has really transformed the texture of my skin.
I only use these before I go to bed, the formula is strong and will dry you out. However, you will notice the difference the next morning. Larger pimples were smaller and my overall skin was softer. I highly recommend for adult acne sufferers like myself.
I've been looking for years and years for a product that clears up my acne and fades acne scars and on a whim I purchased this without any real expectations. To my delight, after using these pads for about 2 weeks, one of which I was traveling - a time I usually get large breakouts, they have completely cleared up my skin. My complexion hasn't looked this good for so long and I am so happy I found a product that actually works. I highly recommend this product if you have acne-prone sensitive skin. It hasn't dried my skin and they smell really nice.5
I bought these to help with my acne prone skin. I use it after I clean my face. It smells like a peach Bellini (odd, but better than astringent). One side is soft and the other side is exfoliating. My only complaint is that the pads are a bit flimsy. So far my face is staying clear.4
I used these every night for the weeks leading up to my wedding and they were fantastic. The scent is definitely a STRONG peach bellini, but you can tell its working on your face almost immediately. I definitely owe it to these pads for keeping my face acne free.
Be careful if you have dry skin though. I would moisturize almost immediately when I got up, but was warned not to touch my face or put any other products on after using this product at night.
I have used these correction pads in the past and was happy to find them on birchbox. These pads really help even out your skin complexion without drying out your skin. They state they smell like peach bellini-- I don't know if I would go that far but they are certainly the best smelling acne pads I have used. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is their price.4

The Brand New Heavies just released their album called 'Get Used To It' after taking some time apart. The latest and greatest can be heard here.

Conroy's latest work gives valuable insight
It's been said that you can get a quick fix on someone by seeing what he or she reads. Editor Don Whitten points out that's not always easy to do, but is with one of the South's favorite authors, Pat Conroy, whose latest book, "My Reading Life," takes readers on a trip through his library and education to see how and why Conroy writes as he does. Conroy will be in town Wednesday to sign copies of the new book at 5 p.m. at Off Square Books. (November 2, 2010, Page 4)

Polls open at 7 a.m.
Midterm elections generally don't bring high percentages of voters out to the polls.
"Typically in the past it's been fairly low," said Lafayette County Circuit Clerk Mary Alice Busby.
But this year, Busby expects the turnout to be higher."We're had a much large amount of absentee voters for this election," she said.
All 18 voter precincts will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Tuesday. The deadline to register to vote has passed and Busby said there are no last minute registrations.
There are 24,235 people registered to vote in Lafayette County. (November 1, 2010, Page 1A)

Going slow on alcohol sales
Even though the Mayor's Alcohol Task Force recommended the city expand alcohol sales to Sunday the board itself appears to be taking a more cautious approach to the issue. The board discussed the issue on Friday along with a new fire truck and expanding Jackson Avenue near City Hall to allow for two-way traffic. The board could add Sunday sales to the agenda for Tuesday but has yet to do so. (November 1, 2010, Page 1A)

Dead whale found on Fourchon beach
The Louisiana governor's top coastal adviser says a dead whale has been reported washed ashore on Fourchon beach.
Garrett Graves said Friday the state was sending workers to examine the whale, which washed up southwest of New Orleans.
The size and species of the whale was not yet known. Graves said the whale was found in an area where tar balls and mats of weathered oil have been washing ashore from waters churned by Hurricane Isaac, resulting in the closure of a small portion of coastal waters to commercial fishing.
He said tissue samples were to be taken from the whale to determine whether there was any connection to the oil.

It is often assumed that the primary purpose of a male's sexual display is to provide information about quality, or to strongly stimulate prospective mates, but other functions of courtship displays have been relatively neglected. Male great bowerbirds (Ptilonorhynchus nuchalis) construct bowers that exploit the female's predictable field of view (FOV) during courtship displays by creating forced perspective illusions, and the quality of illusion is a good predictor of mating success. Here, we present and discuss two additional components of male courtship displays that use the female's predetermined viewpoint: (i) the rapid and diverse flashing of coloured objects within her FOV and (ii) chromatic adaptation of the female's eyes that alters her perception of the colour of the displayed objects. Neither is directly related to mating success, but both are likely to increase signal efficacy, and may also be associated with attracting and holding the female's attention. Signal efficacy is constrained by trade-offs between the signal components; there are both positive and negative interactions within multicomponent signals. Important signal components may have a threshold effect on fitness rather than the often assumed linear relationship.

Open bedroom/bathroom
We have an open concept master where you can see into the bathroom from the bedroom. The is a private toilet enclosure. Right now we have an aclove for the freestand bath which is right by the shower. I want to take the shower wall out and make it all glass but by doing this you will be able to see the person that is showering from the bed. Would it bother you if you could see in the shower from your master bedroom bed? I love the open look but don't like privacy glass so it is either wall or no wall.
My DH is an early riser (5:00 am), and I certainly don't get up that early. I wouldn't like all that light shining on me when I'm trying to sleep. As for the glass, I prefer not to have a clear glass enclosure. Too hard to keep clean. We have a shower "room", all tile, and I like that better. These are very personal preferences., and only you can answer the question about the privacy issue.
The privacy wouldn't bother me as the showerer. It would bother me to be the one not up yet and have the open bathroom plan. The noise and light shining in would be my problems. Or if I went to bed first and the other did things in the bathroom after and woke me up. But you didn't ask about that! Ha! So, no...I guess if you're ok with the open plan in the first place, a little more exposure doesn't seem like that big of a deal I suppose?
Oh, I wouldn't like that at all! My dh would think he was getting a show every morning! ;) We designed a tile shower room in our new house...I like to keep a little mystery in the marriage, plus I would hate keeping all that glass spotless. But if you like it...go for it! I am sure it will look beautiful.
I would be concerned about resale. But then, I doubt very many buyers would want the 'open' BR/Bath you already have. lol
We once looked at a listing where there was a tub sunken INTO the floor of the MBR. (You'd have to be really alert if you got up in the night to use the WC!)
If you don't want glass to clean, but still want it open...see if you can keep the lower half of the wall in place. Then see if possible to leave the upper half open with no glass. This might be accomplished by getting one of those rain shower heads that sends the water straight down rather than the old style that sends the water on an angle.
With the water raining straight down, there is hardly any splash above 36" (from the floor) and possibly no need for the upper half of the wall to be glass. This way, there is no glass to clean and you can use the top of the knee-wall to hold soap and shampoo bottles :)
This is our forever home so I am not worried about resale. If we had to sell it would be super simple to enclose the bathroom. I have never built before so that is why I am asking. We have lived in a old farm house for over 10 years on our dream lot saving to build. Our house is so non-functional now that is hard to make decisions about what we want because we are so unexperienced in the home world.
There is a arch way dividing the two rooms but only 3 ft of wall on each side. Right now there is fully enclosed shower and an enclosed toilet room. Then there is freestanding tub in an aclove below the window (which i love) and a double vanity opposite. We have double shower heads ordered and body sprays. There is one rain head and one traditional head but also can be a hand held. The shower is big enough to hold your towel without getting wet if we wish. I think after reading your posts I should keep the shower enclosure as is.
I'm with the others who would be bothered by the light and noise. I get up early to work out and DH is still sleeping. I don't think he'd appreciate the lights on at 5 am! (And I wouldn't either if he went to bed later than me.) Also I think of times when one or the other of us hasn't felt well, or for example during my pregnancies, getting up in the middle of the night to use the restroom. I'd hate to turn on the lights if I couldn't close a door, and I wouldn't want to feel like I had to go in the dark.
re: keeping the shower clean: we have a fairly large shower in a corner with 2 glass walls and 2 tiled walls. We keep a squeegee in the shower and use it on all the walls after each shower. It just takes a minute and keeps the glass clean, as well as helping keep the tiles and grout clean too. Then every week or so clean with glass cleaner... sometimes even every other week. Easy!

1.0 out of 5 stars Compelling, but half baked and blinded by morality.
You have to commend the journalist, but he seems to be applying western rights for all and ignores the fact innocent people get killed in wars and that warzones are now global with terrorism. Ironically the man he seems to have sympathy for is one of the founders of IS ! A very one sided story that only gives you half the facts abouts its subjects and failed to ackowledge...

5.0 out of 5 stars Murder Inc International,
S Wood (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dirty Wars: The world is a battlefield (Paperback)
Journalist, Jeremy Scahill, author of the best selling expose of leading mercenary corporation Blackwater, has in his sights a somewhat larger prey in "Dirty Wars": namely the series of Covert Wars the United States has run in parallel with its more overt ones in Iraq and Afghanistan since 9/11.
The book begins by looking at precedents and experiences of U.S. covert operations and wars in the post-Vietnam War era, particular regard is giving to the Reagan administrations attempts to subvert the restrictions congress placed on its ability to act covertly in Central America, during which not a few of the figures in the Bush II administration (eg. John Negroponte) gained experience that would be put to chilling effect in years to come (see Greg Grandin's Empire's Workshop: Latin America, the United States, and the Rise of the New Imperialism for a detailed look at the continuity between Reagan's Central/Latin American warriors and the Bush II years). The attacks of September 11th 2001 are of course the turning point - the "Pearl Harbour" moment that the Neo-Cons have waited for arrives with a bang - all sorts of plans are dusted off and put into action: from augmenting the power of the presidency at the expense of congressional oversight (restricted after the debacle of the Vietnam War and the Nixon administration), the curtailing of freedoms (from torture, illegal imprisonment, the right to due process, freedom of information) in the name of national security, to the launching of wars in Afghanistan and Iraq (which had approximately zero to do with the on the Twin Towers and the Pentagon). The two personalities in the Bush II administration that Scahill focuses on are Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld (see Andrew Cockburn's excellent Rumsfeld: An American Disaster for a fine summary of Rumsfeld's career). Both played a critical role in pushing forward the military solution in response to the attacks of 9/11 - an expansive military response that was eventually to regard the world as a battlefield where U.S. forces can go anywhere, at anytime, to conduct operations, regardless of issues of sovereignty, human rights or international law.
So beyond the disastrous wars in Afghanistan (now well into its thirteenth year) and Iraq the American military and the C.I.A. moved to conducting covert operations in a growing list of countries. The two which Scahill particularly focuses on are Somalia and Yemen. He makes a convincing case that American actions in both countries were destabilising: for example in Somalia the US used Warlords to implement its program of capturing and assassinating alleged al-Qaeda operatives, in reality providing them with the means to create increasing levels murder and mayhem, and the context for a largely indigenous Islamic backlash in the form of the Islamic Courts Union, which the United States - in cahoots with Ethiopia - consequently attacks; this in turn creates space for the most radical elements of the I.C.U. - Al Shahab - who have links with Al Qaeda to come to the fore, thus creating an excuse for more intervention, more drone and special ops forces attacks, and more deaths... This is the disaster of American intervention. It is not only countries but individuals that are radicalised: the case of the American Anwar Awlaki is interwoven with the larger tale of institutions, governments and wars: over the course of "Dirty Wars" he changes from a Muslim who plays the part of an interlocutor between Islam and America, who condemned the attacks of 9/11 in mainstream U.S. media to one who - after spending time in a Yemeni jail at U.S. request - is alleged to have become an active member of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (albeit in the realm of propaganda) and is eventually - despite being an American citizen - murdered in a drone attack. Unaccountably and with no explanation, his 16 year old son, along with a number of his young cousins, are murdered in a further drone attack a number of weeks later.
Scahill covers the change from Bush to Obama (see Tariq Ali's The Obama Syndrome: Surrender At Home, War Abroad for an excellent short review of the Obama phenomena towards the end of his first term). His argument that there was a great deal of continuity between the two administrations is convincing, as is his point that the Obama administration carried the logic of covert actions and the doctrine of a world-wide battlefield against "terrorism" further than the Bush II administration, for example there were more drone strikes in the first year of the Obama than in all the years of Bush. Other subjects covered include an account of the assassination of Bin Laden; the formation of Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula; covert operations in Iraq and Afghanistan (which eventually spread to Pakistan); the infighting and jurisdictional turf wars between different American military/foreign policy institutions such as the CIA/State department and the Special Operations Forces/Defence department; the torture regimes (Guantanamo/Abu Ghraib and so on including the lesser known base at Baghdad airport where special ops forces conducted torture) as well as the extraordinary rendition (polite terms for kidnap followed by outsourced torture) program; and the Night Raids in Afghanistan and Iraq, often the fruit of flawed intelligence which caused the deaths of innocents and further ratcheted up hostility towards the U.S. among the people of both countries.
In "Dirty Wars: The World is a Battlefield" Jeremy Scahill has shown himself to an accomplished journalist and writer, he has collated his own original work along with a great deal of work from other writers, to create what must surely be the best single volume of material on the American Global War on "Terror". It has some limitations despite 520 pages of text, in particular geographically where coverage is concentrated on Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Afghanistan and Pakistan with occasional forays into neighbouring countries but no coverage of for example American actions in the Philippines, or other locations in the far east. Otherwise this is a fantastic book, that sheds a great deal of light on the murderous and murky world of Covert Actions as conducted by the United States in the post 9/11 era that I wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

T. J. O. Martin "Tim Martin" (London) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dirty Wars: The world is a battlefield (Paperback)
Scahill's Dirty Wars will stand alongside Philip Agee's CIA Diary Inside the Company: CIA Diary for the harsh light it shines on US official hypocrisy. Historically it should prove to be a test of where every public figure's moral compass stands today - and on which side they may stand in the changing battles for a future which looks set to get increasingly nasty, before we see any new light. With no disrespect to Agee - Scahill's writing is a pleasure to read - even when covering such terrible material.

4.0 out of 5 stars The Secret, Covert Wars,
prisrob "pris," (New England USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dirty Wars: The world is a battlefield (Paperback)
In Jeremy Scahill's new book a Somalia WarLord financed by the US to interrogate and kill suspected terrorists considered America, a War Master, a great educator in the art of War and killing. Not what we had in mind for the US's PR, is it?
"Dirty Wars" is Jeremy Scahill's book and film that investigates American strikes that killed civilians with no ties to terrorist groups, beginning with a raid in Afghanistan, that killed several members of a family. An Afghan police chief, taught and financed in the ways of War by the US and three women, two of whom were pregnant, were among the dead. This one series of killings by bearded men from the US, flown in at night and striking wherever they want, leads to many more such strikes. They are all denied and kept secret until a BBC journalist provides evidence. What we learn is that these killings of innocents that are adding up to the thousands , may be radicalizing Muslims. The American cleric-turned-Qaeda, Anwar al-Awlaki, who was killed by drones in September 2011, was put on the kill list. No capture nor charges, nor judge or jury, only assassination. Mr. Scahill said. "We are making more new enemies than we are killing actual terrorists."
We have long heard of secret, covert groups of military who answer only to the President, who kill and assassinate, capture and torture, but now we are doing this with our own Americans. The secret group is called JSOC, Joint Special Operations Command. JSOC's mission, is identifying and destroying terrorists and terror cells worldwide. Personnel are often exchanged between JSOC and CIA. By the early 1980s, CIA and military veterans were running counter-insurgency and counter-terror ops worldwide. General Paul Gorman, who commanded U.S. forces in Central America in the mid-1980′s, defined this advanced form of Dirty War as "a form of warfare repugnant to Americans, a conflict which involves innocents, in which non-combatant casualties may be an explicitobject."
JSOC now operates in over 70 countries, killing thousands, many of them innocents. Drones are flying in many countries. Is this how we want our country to operate? Jeremy Scahill has also been an outspoken critic of President Obama. He disapproves of what the administration's efforts to "normalize and legitimize" targeted assassinations -- drone-executed and otherwise -- Special Operations raids and other covert military practices that blur the battle lines of the war on terrorism.
This is a very thought provoking book, filled with interviews from informants and those who cannot give their names. Today, there was a raid in Yemen, and it was associated with JSOC. Frightening, what have we wrought.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent survey of current US wars,
William Podmore (London United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dirty Wars: The world is a battlefield (Paperback)
Investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill, who also wrote the excellent book Blackwater: the rise of the world's most powerful mercenary army, has produced a brilliant survey of the USA's current covert wars. Donald Rumsfeld said, "the entire world is the `battlespace'." This has become a global kill campaign.
The US government uses covert action, black operations, snatch squads, and an assassination programme. US personnel break international treaties and conventions and violate other nations' sovereignty and laws. Yet US law requires the US military to respect international law, the laws of war and the Geneva Conventions.
Scahill points out that jihads in Chechnya, Afghanistan and Bosnia in the 1990s served US aims. 2002 saw the USA's first lethal drone attack, in Yemen. In Somalia, the US bought, armed (despite the UN arms embargo) and ran warlords, in a war just like the US-Contra dirty war in Nicaragua. The result? Militant Islamist forces grew stronger.
From 2004 on, the US built up Shiite death squads in Iraq. In December 2006, the USA backed, fuelled and funded Ethiopia's invasion of Somalia. The Ethiopian occupation killed 6,000 civilians. 335,000 fled Somalia. In 2007 Yemeni military found a crashed US spy drone; the Yemeni government said it was an Iranian `spy plane'. In December 2009, a US attack on Malajah in Yemen killed 41 people, including 14 women and 21 children.
Scahill observes, "political and economic forces were drawing up plans for a neoliberal restructuring of Yemen's economy. Organized under the banner of `Friends of Yemen', the US and British governments joined with the European Union, the International Monetary Fund and some of Yemen's neighbours. ... A declaration from the `Friends' openly acknowledged that `necessary economic reforms would have an adverse impact on the poor.'"
Obama embraces the Joint Special Operations Command, and has refocused it from Iraq to Afghanistan, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. The US government is waging covert offensives in Somalia, Yemen, Kenya, Ethiopia, Eritrea, Djibouti and Sudan. It has Special Operations Forces in more than 100 countries, including Iran, Georgia and Ukraine.
Scahill remarks, "Within weeks of assuming office in early 2009, Obama would send a clear message that he intended to keep intact many of the most aggressive counterterrorism policies of the Bush era. Among these were targeted killings, warrantless wiretapping, the use of secret prisons, a crackdown on habeas corpus rights for prisoners, indefinite detention, CIA rendition flights, drone bombings, the deployment of mercenaries in US wars and reliance on the `State Secrets privilege'. In some cases, Obama would expand Bush-era programs he had once blasted as hallmarks of an unaccountable executive branch. ... Obama would guarantee that many of those policies would become entrenched, bipartisan institutions in US national security policy for many years to come. Whether these policies have kept Americans safe - or have made them less safe - is another question."
NATO operations in Afghanistan killed more than 90 civilians in the first few months of 2010, a 75 per cent increase from 2009. More than 30 were killed at checkpoints after General McChrystal took charge. He admitted, "In the nine-plus months I've been here, not a single case where we have engaged in an escalation of force incident and hurt someone has it turned out that the vehicle had a suicide bomb or weapons in it and, in many cases, had families in it. We've shot an amazing number of people and killed a number and, to my knowledge, none has proven to have been a real threat."
After General David Petraeus replaced McChrystal, as Scahill notes, "Almost as soon as Petraeus took command of the war, the pace of night raids increased and air strikes resumed. As the civilian death toll mounted, the Afghan insurgency intensified. The US `targeted' killing program was fueling the very threat it claimed to be fighting."
By June 2010, Afghanistan had become the longest war in US history. More than 1,000 American soldiers had been killed. From June 2009 to May 2010, the number of improvised explosive device attacks rose from 250 a month to more than 900.
A report by the Senate Foreign Relations Committee concluded in 2010, "Al Qaeda is now a more sophisticated and dangerous organization in Africa [whose] foothold in Somalia has probably been facilitated by the involvement of Western powers and their allies."

4.0 out of 5 stars The need for accountability in the War on Terror,
Hugh Claffey (Co. Kildare Ireland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dirty Wars: The world is a battlefield (Paperback)
This is an astonishing well written book of reportage, and I think a must-read about the Obama version of the war on terror (or whatever words cover it now). Scahill also has a particular viewpoint, which I disagree with, but the reportage seems first rate.
First the excellent stuff - there are reports of special forces and CIA operations in Somalia and Yemen, which I had not been aware of. Scahill updates our usual view that the war on Terror involves operations in Afghanistan or Pakistan, though these are covered also. He covers the operation which killed Osama Bin Laden, but he also highlights other operations which went disastrously wrong - the shooting dead of seven people, including two pregnant women in Gardez in 2009; the bombing of al Majalah in Yemen which stirred great local resentment of the US; the killing of Anwar al Awlaki's sixteen year-old son, a week after this father was killed. By taking us through eye witness accounts, Scahill forces us to recognize that the drone war on terror is not the clinical, decisive strike imagined.
Scahill's message is that the drone strikes, targeted killings etc are spreading more disaffection and recruiting more terrorists than they are removing. It seems that some of the Yemeni and Somali strikes were based on information from one rival wishing to destroy another rival - in particular the Yemeni president wishing to dispose of people who might displace him. There is reportage of the justification fro the al Majalah bombing being rushed through whatever (non-accountable) White House targeting process in just 45 minutes, based on the need to use the `actionable intelligence'. The book also mentions, via un-attributable sources, that the President was unhappy with and called for a review of the targeting information that led to the death of Al-Awaki's son and three of his teenage cousins.
What I definitely take from the book is that there needs to be accountability for these mistakes - which officially are not happening, up to quite recently the President did not acknowledge US responsibility for some drone strikes. This is incredible power the US is taking to itself - for instance if you take the sentence "US kills Al Queda terrorist cell in village in remote Yeman" and substitute China, Tibetan, India in the sentence, I'm sure there would be international outrage.
Scahill charts the course of Anwar Al Awlaki's progression from moderate, US based muslim cleric - even invited to a Pentagon focus group, post 9-11, to supported (maybe leader) of Al Queda in Yeman through the decade. Scahill asserts that Al Awlaki had not case made against him, had no way of answering any charges that US might put to him and, as a US citizen was executed by the executive branch of the US government without due process. Scahill makes a big deal about Al Awlaki's US citizenship. I don't really buy any of this, the citizenship issue, to me, neither makes Al Awlaki more or less special. I can only presume there was clear intelligence linking him to terrorism, and there was no reliable way to apprehend him without risking US lives.
One point on style, which may be revealing. From my reading, I think Scahill uses the word `bold' only to describe insurgent attacks in the various countries he visits. I think this might reveal a worrying lack of objectivity.
Nonetheless an excellent read.
4.0 out of 5 stars Dirty work, but somebody had to research and write this book,
Mr. L. Lynch (UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Dirty Wars: The world is a battlefield (Kindle Edition)
Heavy going. Full of military acronyms. In immersing himself in this mad mad world, the author seems to slip over occasionally into admiration for the ghastly murder machine. He spends most of the time giving us facts with little comment: so many horrible facts that I was numbed by it after a while. Only at the end does his anger at the cruelty, injustice and counter-productive stupidity come out.
To me the worst part is the story people trying to offer support to America after 9/11, but being thwarted at every turn by the zombie like suspicion of the security services. They were people who 'couldn't do right for doing wrong'. Instead, one of them (Awlaki) was cajoled and moulded into an enemy they took so much pleasure in zapping with drones.

4.0 out of 5 stars a blizzard of quasi military acronyms,
This review is from: Dirty Wars: The world is a battlefield (Paperback)
This book charts how after 9/11 American policy makers decided that they did not want to be "all lawyered up" and declared 'the world a battlefield' that thereby 'legitimized' them unleashing a blizzard of quasi military acronyms against their Islamist enemies and anyone else who was in the vicinity or might 'usefully' be declared complicit.
The controversies of Guantanamo Bay under George Bush are well known - he wanted to detain people without legalistic oversight - but less well understood is how Nobel Peace Prize winning president Barack Obama decided to extend the policy direction to killing people without legal oversight. So let's spell it out. A new covert military organisation was formed (JSOC: Joint Special Operations Command) whose primary job was to draw up kill lists that were pursued with the might and coordination facilities of American power - on 'terror Tuesdays' Obama personally over saw the authorizations to kill. Moreover, this has created a streamlined process by which future American presidents can - in case you have a soft spot for Obama - personally authorise the non-judicial killing of America's perceived enemies.
Reading this book entails trying to get your head round over 100 acronyms as American bureaucracy confronts Islamist factions that are spreading virus like across parts of the developing (or disintegrating) world. The chosen Islamacists weapons are IED's and suicide bombers, the chosen American weapons are drone strikes and covert assassination/renditions. America is successfully killing those on its 'list' (with attendant 'collateral damage') but it is also appears to be alienating and radicalising many more. The pertinent question the author asks is "how does a war like this ever end?"

You have to commend the journalist, but he seems to be applying western rights for all and ignores the fact innocent people get killed in wars and that warzones are now global with terrorism. Ironically the man he seems to have sympathy for is one of the founders of IS ! A very one sided story that only gives you half the facts abouts its subjects and failed to ackowledge that extremists are dangerous....although we all know JSOC operate outside the normal chains its the only way we can win a global war of terror ....fight dirty.
