9/11's '20th hijacker' claims members of Saudi royal family were al-Qaida donors
Dylan Stableford reports for Yahoo News:
'Zacarias Moussaoui, a former al-Qaida operative sometimes referred to as the "20th hijacker" involved in the 9/11 attacks, claims that members of the Saudi royal family supported the terrorist organization.
In sworn testimony given last October from a Colorado federal prison where he is serving a life sentence, Moussaoui alleged that in the late 1990s he was directed by Osama bin Laden to create a digital database of al-Qaida's donors.
"Sheikh Osama wanted to keep a record who give money … who is to be listened to or who contributed to the jihad," Moussaoui said, according to a transcript of the deposition filed in federal court in New York on Monday and published Wednesday by the New York Times.
Among them: Prince Turki Al-Faisal, then the Saudi intelligence chief; Prince Bandar bin Sultan, the longtime Saudi ambassador to the United States; and Prince Al-Waleed bin Talal, a prominent billionaire investor.'

Michael Hayden's Hollow Constitution
Conor Fiedersdorf writes for The Atlantic:
'In a speech at Washington and Lee University, Michael Hayden, a former head of both the CIA and NSA, opined on signals intelligence under the Constitution, arguing that what the 4th Amendment forbids changed after September 11, 2001. He noted that "unreasonable search and seizure," is prohibited under the Constitution, but cast it as a living document, with "reasonableness" determined by "the totality of circumstances in which we find ourselves in history."
He explained that as the NSA's leader, tactics he found unreasonable on September 10, 2001 struck him as reasonable the next day, after roughly 3,000 were killed. "I actually started to do different things," he said. "And I didn't need to ask 'mother, may I' from the Congress or the president or anyone else. It was within my charter, but in terms of the mature judgment about what's reasonable and what's not reasonable, the death of 3,000 countrymen kind of took me in a direction over here, perfectly within my authority, but a different place than the one in which I was located before the attacks took place. So if we're going to draw this line I think we have to understand that it's kind of a movable feast here."'
The Missing Pages of the 9/11 Report
Eleanor Clift writes for The Daily Beast:
'[…] Sen. Bob Graham said the redacted pages characterize the support network that allowed the 9/11 attacks to occur, and if that network goes unchallenged, it will only flourish. He said that keeping the pages classified is part of "a general pattern of coverup" that for 12 years has kept the American people in the dark. It is "highly improbable" the 19 hijackers acted alone, he said, yet the U.S. government's position is "to protect the government most responsible for that network of support."
The Saudis know what they did, Graham continued, and the U.S. knows what they did, and when the U.S. government takes a position of passivity, or actively shuts down inquiry, that sends a message to the Saudis. "They have continued, maybe accelerated their support for the most extreme form of Islam," he said, arguing that both al Qaeda and ISIS are "a creation of Saudi Arabia."
Standing with Graham were Republican Rep.Walter Jones and Democratic Rep. Stephen Lynch, co-sponsors of House Resolution 428, which says declassification of the 28 pages is necessary to provide the American public with the full truth surrounding the 9/11 attacks.'

Patriot Act Idea Rises in France, and Is Ridiculed
Matt Apuzzo and Steven Erlanger report for The New York Times:
'[…] After shootings last week at a satirical newspaper and a kosher market in Paris, France finds itself grappling anew with a question the United States is still confronting: how to fight terrorism while protecting civil liberties. The answer is acute in a country that is sharply critical of American counterterrorism policies, which many see as a fearful overreaction to 9/11. Already in Europe, counterterrorism officials have arrested dozens of people, and France is mulling tough new antiterrorism laws.
Many European countries, and France in particular, already have robust counterterrorism laws, some of which American authorities have studied as possible models. But the terrorist rampage at the Charlie Hebdo newspaper offices and the Hyper Cacher market prompted calls to go even further. Valérie Pécresse, a minister under former President Nicolas Sarkozy, said France needed its own version of the USA Patriot Act, which gave the United States more authority to collect intelligence and pointed America's surveillance apparatus at its citizens.'
Paris attacks: Don't blame these atrocities on security failures
Patrick Cockburn writes for The Independent:
'Did the massacre at Charlie Hebdo succeed, in terms of furthering the interests of extreme jihadi al-Qaeda-type Islamic movements? The incident itself is over with the deaths of the murderers, but the degree of their success will only become clear when we see how far French political leaders are lured into an over-reaction.
It was worrying to see Le Monde's banner headline: "Le 11 Septembre Français." First, it simply is not true: there were 2,977 victims of the 9/11 attacks and 17 victims in last week's shootings in Paris. The shock was far greater in the United States than in France because of the visual impact of aircraft crashing into the twin towers, and their spectacular collapse. It is important to keep a sense of proportion about such atrocities, because the perpetrators, whether linked to Islamic State (Isis), al-Qaeda or freelance jihadis, select targets that will guarantee maximum publicity. "The media is half jihad" is a slogan sometime seen on jihadi websites.
Misleading analogies between 7/1 in France and 9/11 in the US should create a sense of foreboding. The most important victory of Osama bin Laden did not come on the day the 19 mainly Saudi hijackers took command of the planes, but in the months and years which followed as President Bush led the US into wars in Iraq and Afghanistan in which American troops fought Muslims. As the US resorted to rendition, the mistreatment and torture of prisoners, expanded security agencies and limited civil rights for its own people it delegitimised itself and acted as recruiting sergeant for al-Qaeda and its clones. If bin Laden had been hiding in the attic of the White House giving instructions to those in the rest of the building he could not have devised a cocktail of measures more likely to aid his cause.'

Will France Repeat America's Mistakes After 9/11?
Former CIA analyst Ray McGovern writes for Consortium News:
'First, a hat tip to Elias Groll, assistant editor at Foreign Policy, whose report just a few hours after the killings on Wednesday at the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo, included this key piece of background on the younger of the two brother suspects:
"Carif Kouachi was previously known to the authorities, as he was convicted by a French court in 2008 of trying to travel to Iraq to fight in that country's insurgent movement. Kouachi told the court that he wished to fight the American occupation after viewing images of detainee abuse at Abu Ghraib prison."
The next morning, Amy Goodman of Democracynow.org and Juan Cole (in his blog) also carried this highly instructive aspect of the story of the unconscionable terrorist attack, noting that the brothers were well known to French intelligence; that the younger brother, Cherif, had been sentenced to three years in prison for his role in a network involved in sending volunteer fighters to Iraq to fight alongside al-Qaeda; and that he said he had been motivated by seeing the images of atrocities by U.S. troops at Abu Ghraib.'
Obama Has Killed More People With Drones Than Died On 9/11
'Law school teacher Marjorie Cohn – president of the National Lawyers Guild – writes:
Obama has killed more people with drones than died on 9/11. Many of those killed were civilians, and only a tiny percentage of the dead were al-Qaeda or Taliban leaders.
She may be right …
The Council on Foreign Relations estimates that U.S. drone strikes outside of Iraq and Afghanistan have killed 3,674 people.
The Bureau of Investigative Journalism reports that up to 4,404 people have been killed – just in Pakistan and Yemen alone – between 2004 and 2014.
While it's hard to estimate how many additional people have been killed by drone in Iraq and Afghanistan, a December 2012 report by the Bureau of Investigative Journalism found that US and UK forces had carried out over 1,000 drone strikes in Afghanistan over the previous five years. Given thatnumerous people are often killed by each drone strike, it is reasonable to assume that several thousand people have been killed by drone in that country.
And many Iraqis have also been killed by drones … long before ISIS even appeared on the scene. So – altogether – the number of people killed by drone is probably well above five thousand.
In contrast, under 3,000 people were killed on 9/11.'
The Hidden Government Group Linking JFK, Watergate, Iran-Contra and 9/11
Peter Dale Scott writes for WhoWhatWhy:
'For some time now, I have been analyzing American history in the light of what I have called structural deep events: events, like the JFK assassination, the Watergate break-in, Iran-Contra, or 9/11, which repeatedly involve law-breaking or violence, are mysterious to begin with, are embedded in ongoing covert processes, have political consequences that enlarge covert government, and are subsequently covered up by systematic falsifications in the mainstream media and internal government records.
The more I study these deep events, the more I see suggestive similarities between them, increasing the possibility that they are not unrelated external intrusions on American history, but parts of an endemic process, sharing to some degree or other a common source.
For example, one factor linking Dallas, Watergate, Iran-Contra, and 9/11, has been the involvement in all four deep events of personnel involved in America's highest-level emergency planning, known since the 1950s as Continuity of Government (COG) planning, or more colloquially inside the Pentagon as "the Doomsday Project." A few of these actors may have been located at the top, as overseers of the secret COG system. Others – including some I shall talk about today – were located further down in its secret communications network.
I see this planning group as one among many in what I have chosen to call the American deep state, along with agencies like the CIA and NSA, the private groups like Booz Allen Hamilton to which more than half of the US intelligence budget is outsourced, and finally the powerful banks and corporations whose views are well represented in the CIA and NSA. But if only one group among many, the COG planning group is also special, because of its control of and access to a communications channel, not under government control, that can reach deeply into the US social structure.'

9/11 Families Continue Search For Truth Despite Silence From White House
Carmen Russell-Sluchansky reports for MintPress News:
'All 19 of the hijackers committed suicide the day they flew the planes into the World Trade Center, Pentagon and a field in Pennsylvania. Almost immediately, the Bush administration announced that the attack was orchestrated by Osama bin Laden, a member of a prominent Saudi family connected to the royal family.
Fifteen of the hijackers were also Saudi nationals. Additionally, members of the Saudi royal family were permitted to leave the country immediately after the attacks, despite having what some sources call "troubling connections" with al-Qaida.
At the end of 2002, a Congressional commission to investigate the events leading up to the attack released the 832-page report, titled "Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001." When it was made public, 28 pages were kept classified, with the Bush administration citing issues of national security.
Terry Strada believes those pages will complete the story of why and how her husband and 3,00 other Americans were killed. She believes it will also give a better understanding of the nation's odd alliance with a repressive oil-funded monarchy.'
Ex-Egyptian minister: We warned US ahead of 9/11
Gavriel Fiske reports for The Times of Israel:
'In the weeks ahead of the September 11 attacks in 2001, Egypt warned the Bush administration repeatedly about an imminent large-scale terror attack to be carried out by al-Qaeda operatives on US soil, but the message was ignored, a former high-ranking Egyptian government official said
Habib al-Adly, who served from 1997 to 2011 as minister of the interior for the Mubarak government, said in court testimony that Egypt received intelligence "from inside the al-Qaeda den" that "America would be subject to a huge terror attack." In testimony last month that was translated and posted online Tuesday by the Middle East Media Research Institute, Adly said the intelligence was verified and analyzed, and then president Hosni Mubarak gave the order to pass it on to the US in May of 2001.
The information was passed to both the CIA and FBI several times, Adly said, as Egyptian intelligence received word that the terror attack was moving from the planning to operation stage.'

Did Certain Foreign Governments Facilitate the 9/11 Attacks?
Justin Raimondo writes for Antiwar:
'Some thirteen years after the event, the shadow of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in Manhattan and the Pentagon still darkens our world. The legacy of that terrible day has impacted not only our foreign policy, bequeathing to a new generation an apparently endless "war on terrorism," it also has led directly to what is arguably the most massive assault on our civil liberties since the Alien and Sedition Acts. Getting all the information about what happened that day – and why it happened – is key to understanding the course we have taken since.
This was supposed to have been the purpose of the 9/11 Commission, whose massive report is now looked to as the primary source on the subject. Yet there is another, far more specific investigative report, the one issued by the intelligence committees of both houses of Congress, entitled "Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001."
If you actually take the time to read the report, all goes along swimmingly (except for occasional redactions) until you get to p. 369, whereupon the text is blacked out for the next twenty-eight pages.
What is in the twenty-eight censored pages? You aren't allowed to know that, but members of Congress can read them provided they write to the heads of the Senate and House intelligence committees and get permission. If such is granted, they are escorted into a soundproof carefully guarded room in the company of various spooks, where they get to read the material: they aren't allowed to take notes.
Do you get the impression someone has something to hide?'

Official: Report of missing planes from Libya untrue
Oren Dorell reports for USA Today:
'A report that 11 planes were stolen or missing days after Libya's Tripoli International Airport was overtaken by Islamist militias is unfounded, a State Department official told Washington lawmakers Wednesday while defending U.S. policy in the war-torn country.
[…] The report first appeared in the conservative website Washington Free Beacon, which cited an unnamed U.S. official. It alleged that intelligence agencies had warned that Islamist militias working in concert with al-Qaeda affiliates could use the airliners to launch attacks on U.S. allies in North Africa or Europe. And the attacks would be timed to the 9/11 anniversary.'
9/11 First Responders Cancer Cases On The Rise
9/11: Press for Truth (2006 Documentary)
'9/11: Press for Truth follows three of the Jersey Girls (widows of individuals killed in the attacks) as well as other family members in their search for answers about what really happened on 9/11.
Among their questions were: Why had NORAD failed to protect the known terrorist targets, the World Trade Center and the Pentagon? Why did the World Trade Center Towers, including Building 7, completely collapse when no other steel-framed skyscraper had ever previously totally collapsed due to fire? Why did George W Bush stay in a Florida classroom for over 10 minutes after he had been told that the second Tower had been hit?
The film uses archive news footage, press conferences and newspaper clippings to document the unwillingness of the George W. Bush administration to provide answers to the families' questions or support a full independent investigation. It also shows how the mainstream media avoided asking the politicians the toughest questions.' (Wikipedia)
Editor's Note: Press for Truth is easily the best 9/11 documentary out there as it shows the families in their battle against the Bush administration, who were quite reluctant to even have an investigation in the first place, let alone reveal what actually happened. In the end all we got was the pathetic cover-up that is the official 9/11 Commission Report. Even today, 13 years after the event took place, we still have no idea what actually happened on that day and in the days leading up to it. What we do know though is that the opportunity that it presented to the war hawks and others desperate for the American empire to continue to project power around the globe was taken with both hands (despite them making a grand old mess of things). Everything that has happened since then – from the wars, to the rise of ISIS, to the loss of civil liberties – all of it could not have happened without 9/11. That's why it's imperative to still question the official narrative and to ultimately press for truth. Below I'm also going to provide some links to what I believe are the best books and research website on the subject.
Defense lawyer of '9/11 mastermind' resigns, says U.S. is crafting a 'show trial'
'Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-proclaimed mastermind behind the Sept. 11 attacks, is facing a military commission at Guantanamo Bay and potentially the death penalty. He was captured in 2003 but his case still hasn't gone to trial. Last week, Maj. Jason Wright — one of the lawyers defending Mohammed — resigned from the Army. He has accused the U.S. government of "abhorrent leadership" on human rights and due process guarantees and says it is crafting a "show trial."
[…] Wright tells NPR's Arun Rath that it's hard to gain any client's trust, but it was especially hard with Mohammed. His former client is one of six "high-value detainees" being prosecuted at Guantanamo for offenses that could carry the death penalty. "All six of these men have been tortured by the U.S. government," he says.
Wright says Mohammed in particular has faced a level of torture "beyond comprehension." He says his client was waterboarded by the CIA 183 times and subjected to over a week of sleep deprivation; there were threats that his family would be killed. "And those are just the declassified facts that I'm able to actually speak about," Wright says. Given that treatment, Wright knew it would be hard for Mohammed to trust him.'

Sick first responders snubbed by 9/11 Museum
Susan Edelman and Danika Fears reports for The New York Post:
'The 9/11 Museum has been drawing criticism from first responders upset with the way its exhibits portray those who suffered in the aftermath of the terror attacks. One of the most moving complaints came from an NYPD officer who became ill with cancer after working at Ground Zero.
In a letter addressed to 9/11 Museum President Joe Daniels, Reginald Hilaire expressed his dismay that the exhibit did not properly acknowledge the serious illnesses and deaths among responders.
"There are no listing of names or even a sentence that people died from 9/11 related illnesses," he wrote. "The federal government has recognized a link with illnesses and work at the WTC and Staten Island landfill, but the 9/11 Museum mentioned very little."'
Frankensteinian Hubris: Bush's "Redirection" and the Rise of ISIS
Dan Sanchez writes for Antiwar:
'[…] It is good to remember that the policy that led to this mess was initiated under the Bush Administration, with full cognizance of the possibility that it could result in severe terroristic and destabilizing blowback. It was in 2007 that the U.S. and Saudi Arabia launched what Seymour Hersh, who broke the story in The New Yorker, called "the Redirection." Under this policy revolution, the U.S. and the Saudis (with Israel's blessing and prodding) began trying to bolster Sunni radicals in an effort to "contain" the "Shiite resurgence" brought about by the U.S. empowerment of the Shiites in Iraq. It all started in Lebanon.
[…] As reported by Patrick Cockburn, not all of the Saudis embraced such a blowback-inviting policy, so it would be more accurate to call it a victory for the Prince Bandar bin Sultan line. The fact that U.S. policymakers concluded that beleaguered Iran, with its long track record of not attacking a single country, is more of a danger than Sunni radicals, like the ones responsible for 9/11 and every other Al Qaeda attack, is an indication of just how little our overlords care about actually protecting us, as compared to pursuing regional power politics.
[…] Some of the radical Sunnis the U.S. has bolstered in Syria (namely, ISIS) have now crossed over into Iraq, conquered much of the northwest, and may soon take Baghdad, Maliki's capital. I imagine this has put plenty of "fear" into his government: mission accomplished. Although, I don't know how much "incentive" they'll have to "cooperate" when they're all dead or in exile.
[…] They have indeed outsmarted them, and it has indeed been ugly. Obama and the Saudis ramped up in Syria the same policy that Bush and the Saudis started pursuing in Lebanon, and the result was the same but worse. Salafi psychos in Syria, as in Lebanon, were able to get their hands on plenty of U.S. and Saudi aid. And through the course of the U.S.-supported bloody rebellion in Syria, ISIS acquired experience, recruits, arms, and territory, which they used to launch their conquest in Iraq.'
Campaign Mounts to Declassify 9/11 Report's References to Alleged Saudi Involvement
Samuel Oakford writes for Vice News:
'Nearly 13 years after the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the extent of Saudi involvement in the deaths of almost 3,000 people remains unclear — but according to members of Congress and the families of victims, information about this has been suppressed ever since the publication of a 2002 congressional investigation into the plot.
Prior to the release of the final report of the Joint Inquiry into Intelligence Community Activities Before and After the Terrorist Attacks of September 11, 2001, the Bush administration classified a 28-page section in the name of national security.
Though speculations, accusations, and denials have swirled around these pages over the past decade, the call for their declassification has steadily grown since December 2013, when House Representatives Walter Jones (R-NC) and Stephen Lynch (D-MA) introduced Resolution 428, a two-page document urging President Obama to release them to the public. Nine other representatives from both parties have co-sponsored the resolution.'
How the 'War on Terror' Became a War on the Constitution
Peter Van Buren writes for Tom Dispatch:
'America has entered its third great era: the post-constitutional one. In the first, in the colonial years, a unitary executive, the King of England, ruled without checks and balances, allowing no freedom of speech, due process or privacy when it came to protecting his power.
In the second, the principles of the Enlightenment and an armed rebellion were used to push back the king's abuses. The result was a new country and a new constitution with a Bill of Rights expressly meant to check the government's power. Now we are wading into the shallow waters of a third era, a time when that government is abandoning the basic ideas that saw our nation through centuries of challenges far more daunting than terrorism. Those ideas—enshrined in the Bill of Rights—are disarmingly concise. Think of them as the haiku of a genuine people's government.
Deeper, darker waters lie ahead and we seem drawn down into them. For here there be monsters.'
9/11 Commission a decade later: 'Terrorism is not going away'
'America's longest war. Much more National Security Agency surveillance. An alphabet soup of new government departments and agencies. Long security lines at airports. All those things happened in response to the 9/11 al Qaeda attacks on New York and the Pentagon that forever changed U.S. security perceptions and practices. Now a commission created to examine what happened then says we need to do more now to protect ourselves.
"The 'generational struggle' against terrorism described in 'The 9/11 Commission Report' is far from over," the panel said this week in reference to its assessment a decade earlier. "Rather, it is entering a new and dangerous phase, and America cannot afford to let down its guard." Its bottom line assessment? "Strenuous counterterrorism efforts will remain a fact of our national life for the foreseeable future."'

9/11: 2,500 Ground Zero workers have cancer
Susan Edelman reports for The New York Post:
'More than 2,500 Ground Zero rescuers and responders have come down with cancer, and a growing number are seeking compensation for their illnesses, The Post has learned. The grim toll has skyrocketed from the 1,140 cancer cases reported last year.
In its latest tally, the World Trade Center Health Program at Mount Sinai Hospital counts 1,655 responders with cancer among the 37,000 cops, hard hats, sanitation workers, other city employees and volunteers it monitors, officials told The Post.
The tragic sum rises to 2,518 when firefighters and EMTs are added. The FDNY, which has its own WTC health program, said Friday it counts 863 members with cancers certified for 9/11-related treatment.'

Wall Street traders want 9/11 money
Susan Edelman reports for the New York Post:
A wave of Wall Street stockbrokers and traders are coming down with cancers blamed on the toxic dust and smoke of 9/11. They're joining ill Ground Zero first-responders in seeking payments from the $2.7 billion federal September 11th Victim Compensation Fund. Of 622 cancer claims approved so far, the fund has awarded $15.5 million to 39 victims, a spokeswoman told The Post.
Officials would not give a breakdown of cancer victims, but 10,800 downtown workers make up the second-largest group of registered claimants after 39,500 Ground Zero responders. There are another 16,600 in smaller categories such as residents, students, child-care and health-care workers. Finance workers engulfed in dust and debris from the Twin Towers' collapse say the attacks — and returning to Wall Street a week later, when officials insisted it was safe — triggered their diseases.
Guantánamo hearings halted amid accusations of FBI spying on legal team
Spencer Ackerman writes for The Guardian:
The US government's troubled military trials of terrorism suspects were dealt another blow on Monday when proceedings were halted after an allegation surfaced that the Federal Bureau of Investigation turned a member of a 9/11 defendant's defense team into a secret informant. Judge James Pohl, the army colonel overseeing the controversial military commission at Guantánamo, gaveled a hearing out of session after barely 30 minutes on Monday morning, following the revelation of a motion filed by the defense stipulating that the FBI approached an unidentified member of the team during the course of an investigation into how a manifesto by accused 9/11 architect Khalid Shaikh Mohammed found its way to the media.
Defense attorneys argued the government plunged them into a potential conflict of interest, as they would need to potentially defend themselves against a leak investigation, risking their ability to put their clients' legal needs ahead of their own. They implored Pohl to investigate, and if necessary, assign their clients with new independent counsel to advise the defendants about the existence and implications of conflict of interest. That could be a lengthy process – potentially the next delay for a proceeding that has yet to get out of the pretrial stage nearly two years after the latest incarnation of the 9/11 military trials began.

Cardinal Dolan says Catholic church could be Obamacare's biggest 'cheerleader'
Patrick Semansky, Associated Press
Roman Catholic Cardinal Timothy Dolan says the church has been for universal health care for almost a century, but it can't support Obamacare as long as it forces Catholics to violate their conscience.
In an interview that aired Sunday on NBC's "Meet the Press," Dolan said if it wasn't for the health care reform's mandate to provide contraceptives, the U.S. Catholic Bishops would be the Affordable Care Act's biggest "cheerleaders."
"We, the bishops of the United States, can you believe it, in 1919 came out for more affordable, more comprehensive, more universal healthcare. That's how far back we go in this battle, okay?" Dolan said, according to Politico.
"So we're not Johnny-come-latelies," Dolan added. "We've been asking for reform in healthcare for a long time. So, we were kind of an early supporter in this. Where we started bristling and saying, 'Uh-oh, first of all this isn't comprehensive, because it's excluding the undocumented immigrant and it's excluding the unborn baby,' so we began to bristle at that."
Secondly, "we said, 'And wait a minute, we Catholics who are kind of among the pros when it comes to providing health care, do it because of our religious conviction, and because of the dictates of our conscience. And now we're being asked to violate some of those.'"
Several Catholic-affiliated schools and other organizations have sued the government over the mandate, claiming it violates their religious freedom.
But other Catholic organizations don't agree with the U.S. Bishops' stance on Obamacare. In June, the Catholic Health Association, which represents 620 Catholic hospitals and 1,400 nursing homes, said it can live with the birth control mandate.
On the topic gay marriage becoming legal now in 16 states, Dolan said the church has been "out-marketed" and "caricatured as being anti-gay."
"When you have forces like Hollywood, when you have forces like politicians, when you have forces like some opinion-molders that are behind it, it's a tough battle," said Dolan, according to Opposing Views.
The Associated Press reported that Dolan, the archbishop of New York, said the church supports traditional marriage and is not "anti-anybody."
But Paul Brandeis Raushenbush, senior religion editor for the Huffington Post, wrote that no marketing or caricatures are needed to describe the Catholic church's well-known position against gay marriage.
"If you are against gay marriage you are against gay married people. In the future, if you want to know if your actions or words are anti-gay, try asking a gay person," Raushenbush wrote. "We'll be glad to let you know."

TARDIS ftw!!!
TARDIS ftw!!!
I used to work at the origins counter at Macy's. Being that all hell breaks loose on Black Friday, I expected some assholes. Now, my counter was right in the center of the store, basically attached to the escelator. Because there were a ridiculous amount of people trying to buy a toaster on special for $10, the home department associates started sending people upstairs. Without realizing we were having to wrangle them all and ring them up, rather than focusing on our own sales. I had finally finished a huge line of customers and moved on to assist origins customers, with deciding on a gift. They took a moment to think about it, when suddenly this lady with a $10 toaster comes up and asks me to help her. I told her very politely that I was assisting other customers who were purchasing an origins item, but I'd be happy to help her out as soon as I was done, or she could go to any other register. Besides that, there were already a line of people at our counters only register. The string of expletives that flew out of her mouth, I can never forget: "You are a RUDE, DISGUSTING, Little BITCH! You are a fucking disgusting bitch" I looked at her and said "Would you like to repeat that to my manager?" As I stormed off, she disappeared toaster and all.
DONT EXFOLIATE before waxing! Waxing basically does the exfoliating for you! Also don't get waxed ON your period either. (Ew). Love, another esthetician
When she's 90 years old, and her internal organs are failing, is she going to look back and say, ahh I'm so glad I spent seven years shrinking my waist to 16 inches!
If she's not having problems now, she wl.
This list is so contradictory to itself, it makes my head spin. How about just do you and dgaf
How can she deny her child the life of experience of skipping class?!
Actually it's not a reverse French, it's a half moon mani.
In high school I was with one of my friends and my crush, hanging out in the water… A wave crashed on us… It took me a minute to realize that one of my boobs fell out of my bathing suit top. 😳
Yeah because everyone in the Bay Area works for google. Or apple. Dick. Also if you do work for one of those companies, rest assured the rent is NOT sucking a big hole out of your paycheck. Rent eats the paychecks of those who DONT work for tech.
Your phone doesn't charge faster if it's in airplane mode. Sorry, I've tried it and it really doesn't work.
Also keeping your screen on AUTO brightness actually saves battery.
No kidding. I hope she is dead. Miss Rosa definitely deserved that blaze of glory.
Clearly the writer thinks the FB "poke" feature is a new one. -.-
Is that even Renee zellweger??
Thanks for the seizure, asshole!
I wonder if she realizes that she has to get Botox injections every 6-8 weeks for… EVER.
Actually, it's because about 10 years ago, thinner eyebrows were "in"
All they did was grow out/fill in their brows. However some of them did look WAY over done.
Nolan began writing Inception over 16 years ago.
Half the stuff on here is British based that you couldn't get in the states.
Snape was always on the good side. His allegiance was sworn to dumbledore.
The Croods is also on Netflix
This post is rather ridiculous. Just as bad as Americans stereotyping Brits.
Anyone who is a Mac user should have known these… Um forever…
I am making this right now and it only takes about 20 minutes without baking. :D The sauce only seems daunting at first.
I added gorgonzola cracker crumbs to top mine off and popped it in the oven.
The zit stickers in Girl Talk never stuck to your face. Winning.
Probably because she's being stalked while grocery shopping inside whole foods. Or perhaps, its the over-priced organic artichoke?
How did you manage to mold into words, the experience we all had as nerdy 10/11 year olds?
Thanks for bringing back the fond memories of my Casper obsession!!!

Amazing ambient music
THis is great for background music and chills the mind. I love the chirps and the calm rainfall. The pads also make you very introspective, make you think. Emotions evoked. And the flute is great and authentic. Nice ambient music. I might fall asleep to this if I were to put this on low volume, close my eyes, and daydream.

Crane Collapse
FDNY EMS Rescue and Haz Tac crews (in tan turnout gear) responded to and cared for critically injured patients on Saturday, March 15, when a crane broke away from an apartment tower under construction in Manhattan and toppled across 51st St. and onto buildings as far as a block away. Six construction workers and a woman visitingNew York City for St. Patrick's Day were killed. Two dozen people were injured, including a firefighter critically injured in a secondary collapse. John Peruggia, Chief of EMS Command for FDNY, described the heavy crane's fall and consequent damage it caused to nearby structures as being ˙like a hot knife cutting through butter.Ó For more on this MCI and its associated rescues, see Lessons Learned, p. 30.

Future boat developments
Two aims of future boat development are fuel efficiency through reduction of drag and protection of the environment against pollution through use of 'cleaner' fuel sources.
Professor James J. Corbett of the University of Delaware has suggested that a 20–30% GHG-emissions reduction for shipping is possible and may occasion economical and health benefits[1]
Drag reduction[edit]
Reduction in drag may offer significant fuel efficiency. Advancements in technology such as aluminum alloys or carbon-fiber composites may reduce hull weight (and hence displacement and drag) for a given payload.[citation needed]
Hull shape[edit]
A bulbous bow is a protruding bulb at the bow of a ship. It is positioned just below the waterline to modify the way water flows around the hull. Large ships with bulbous bows have a twelve to fifteen percent better fuel efficiency than similar vessels without them.[2] Drag may be reduced by decreasing the effective wetted area of the hull. In Skjold class patrol boats this is achieved by augmenting the buoyancy by incorporating a fan-blown skirted compartment between the two rigid catamaran-type hulls. This design permits lower displacement and therefore reduced drag at high speeds. A related concept is the air cavity system.[3] Creating an air cavity on the underside of a hull may reduce drag by up to 15%.[4]
Cleaner energy[edit]
Wind power[edit]
Wind power has been used to propel watercraft since prehistoric times. Classic sails are, however, poorly suited for modern economic conditions. This is because their efficiency depends on the weather and because large crews are required to handle them. Some designs try to overcome these issues. One example is the windmill ship which captures wind energy with a rotor that drives a conventional propeller. Another is the SkySails propulsion system. It is a large foil kite with an electronic control system which can be automatically set. The kites, having an area of approximately 320 square meters (3,400 sq ft), can be flown at altitudes of 100–300 meters (330–980 ft). Due to the stronger winds at these heights, they receive a higher thrust per unit area than conventional mast-mounted sails. A ship equipped with the SkySails could attain an increase in fuel efficiency of 10 to 35%.[5] Despite a number of attempts, Flettner ships have not been successful. However, Jacques Cousteau made improvements in his design, the Turbosail. Unlike simple Flettner rotors, Turbosail is able to produce thrust in the direction of travel, regardless of wind direction. The first turbosail-equipped ship, Alcyone, reported a 1/3 fuel saving. The efficiency of the system has not, however, been subjected to adequate comparison. Only two turbosail-equipped vessels have undergone research.[citation needed]
Other energy sources[edit]
Fuel cell powered boats may benefit from the higher thermodynamic efficiency of fuel cells compared to internal combustion engines (40-60% vs 20-25%). However, fuel cells are costly. In 2009, the United States of America's Department of Energy estimated the cost of an 80-kW automotive fuel cell system in volume production (projected to 500,000 units per year) at US$61 per kilowatt.[6] Solar panels have been also suggested for powering primary and secondary ship systems.[7][8] Solar powered boats are usually limited to rivers and canals. In 2007, an experimental 14m catamaran, the 'Sun21' sailed the Atlantic from Seville to Miami, and from there to New York.[9]

Wind Gap Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2010
Wind Gap - California - United States - Sonoma Coast
Professional Wine Reviews for Wind Gap Chardonnay Sonoma Coast 2010Read More... Additional information »
2010 saw extremely high quality viticulture in many parts of the world, with an exceptionally long and hot summer providing huge benefits for wineries across many countries, especially in the southern hemisphere. The northern hemisphere and Europe saw something of a cooler summer and flowering period, but this was by no means as disastrous as it could have been. France, especially, had a fantastic year in 2010, with the world renowned Burgundy region proclaiming that their white wines of this year are ones to look out for, and despite yields being relatively small across much of the country, the quality was exceptionally high. Spain, too, received some cooler weather, but Rioja and the rest of central Spain are hailing 2010 as a very good year indeed, again as a result of smaller, finer yields. California also received similar climatic conditions, but again, wineries are highly positive about the overall effect this had on their produce, as the slightly challenging conditions resulted in smaller yields of much elegance and distinction. 2010 was really Australia's year, and in South Australia and across the Mornington Peninsula, Chardonnay vines produced good yields with a lower sugar level than in previous years. As such, the majority of South Australian white wines from 2010 are superb, and packed full of character. Shiraz also had a great year, and most Australian wineries have been proclaiming 2010 one of the great vintages. Both the Argentinian and Chilean wine industries benefited from some ideal climatic conditions this year, and are reportedly ecstatically pleased with the fact that their 2010 wines ended up with lower alcohol levels, and were beautifully balanced wines packed full of flavor.
Despite having its origins in western France, Chardonnay's immense popularity and flexibility quickly meant that before long, there wasn't a wine producing country in the world which wasn't investing in this fascinating and versatile grape varietal. Today, Chardonnays manage to win fine wine competitions and satisfy supermarket shoppers simultaneously, due to the fact that this grape varietal can take on many characteristics and features of where it is grown and how it is handled. Indeed, this green skinned grape is renowned for not having so much unique flavor within the fruit, but is very sensitive to the features of the terroir it is grown in, as well as to aging As such, it isn't unusual to find bottles of single variety Chardonnay wine described as holding notes of white stone, mountain waters, or other such geological features alongside the more predictable fruit descriptions This makes Chardonnay grape varietal wines an exciting world to delve into full of surprises, full of delights.
Since the 18th century, California has been a hugely important and influential wine region, acting as a trailblazer for other New World wine regions and utilizing an important blend of traditional and contemporary practices, methods and techniques relating to their wine production. Split into four key areas the North Coast, the Central Coast, the South Coast and the Central Valley Californian wineries make the most of their ideal climate and rich variety of terrains in order to produce a fascinating range of wines made with a long list of different fine grape varietals. Today, the state has almost half a million acres under vine, and is one of the world's largest wine exporters, with Californian wines being drunk and enjoyed all across the globe.
The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.

You know what the best Die Hard is. You know what the worst is. But where do the others sit in the Die Hard league table?
A quick preamble. Over the course of the coming weeks and months, we're going to be exploring many of our favourite movie franchises, and ranking the films in order. Mainly because it gives us a further chance to talk about many of our favourite films.
Inevitably, the ordering in these cases isn't always going to come as a surprise - we go into this with the first and last place in most of these lists immediately obvious - but it's interesting to see how the movies stand in the context of each other. Police Academy week in particular should be a hoot.
When it comes to ranking the Die Hard films then, the battle is really between Die Hards 2 and 3 for second place. But »

After several successful seasons on HBO under its belt, Tales from the Crypt and its iconic host, The Cryptkeeper (voiced by John Kassir), made the leap to the big screen in January 1995 with the feature film Demon Knight. Directed by Ernest Dickerson and starring William Sadler, Billy Zane, Jada Pinkett, Dick Miller, Brenda Bakke, Thomas Hayden Church, Cch Pounder and Charles Fleischer, Demon Knight debuted at #3 its opening weekend and took in over $21 million during its theatrical run, making the first of the Tales from the Crypt a bona fide success (even if the critics didn't seem to think so).
A movie best remembered by fans for its masterful blending of horror and comedy, an incredibly diverse and talented cast of players as well as an iconic soundtrack and jaw-dropping special effects to boot, it was love at first sight after I first experienced Demon Knight all those years »

During its fraught production, Alien 3 went through dozens of drafts. We look at some of the story ideas that never made it to the screen...
When the credits rolled on 1986's Aliens, the inevitable question from many cinemagoers was, "What happens next?"
For 20th Century Fox, and writer-producers David Giler and Walter Hill, it took nearly six years to figure out an answer to that question. Certainly, when Aliens was in production, director James Cameron had some ideas about a sequel; he once spoke about the prospect of Ripley, Hicks and young Newt - a makeshift family thrown together by that film's events - meeting up again for a second sequel to Alien.
"I know that James Cameron had planned to have Hicks, Ripley and me in Alien 3, to have a family-type thing", Newt actress Carrie Henn said in 1995.
A year after Aliens came out, Cameron was unequivocal »

Homemade Jesse & Slinky Dog Costumes From Toy Story
Dude, I did it! I semi-DIYed my very first Halloween costumes, and I lived to tell the tale. It actually wasn't too hard (do you believe that I didn't sew a single thing?). Holla!
In case it's not super obvious, Clara asked to go as Jessie (the cowgirl from Toy Story) and Burger gets to be Slinky Dog (also from Toy Story). Here were most of my supplies for Clara's costume:
- a "cowgirl hat" from a local pop-up Halloween store
- red yarn and white duct tape from AC Moore
- flared jeans from Old Navy (you know I used a coupon and bought them on discount Tuesdays)
The first thing I tackled was making a long Jessie-ish braid from the yarn and used the white duct tape to connect it to the hat. Looks pretty bad from the inside, but thankfully it's all covered up when Clara puts it on, and it doesn't seem to bother her (she loves her Jessie hair, and it actually seems to help make the slightly-too-big hat fit her a bit better – even though it still slides around a little).
Oh and she needed winter shoes/boots, so I found these cowgirl-ish boots at Old Navy on sale, so they'll not only serve as shoes for the costume but she'll hopefully get lots of wear out of them this winter. I also picked up an on-sale white button down (in the boy's section) that she can wear well beyond this costume. And speaking of wearing-beyond-the-costume, see the jeans? I cow-patterned them up with white duct tape that I cut into different cow-spot-ish shapes. So it's 100% removable so the jeans, the shirt, and the boots can just be worn normally after Halloween until Clara outgrows them.
As for slinky dog's costume, I just got a quarter yard of brown felt from JoAnn (on sale for 50 cents), cut it into a small strip that wraps around Burger's tummy, and used velcro at each side of the strip to secure it under his ribcage. Then for the "slinky" we just got two yards of silver trim (from the aisle with all the fringe and beaded trim that you buy by the yard at JoAnn). I didn't even sew the slinky trim onto the felt since I secured it with safety pins on the outside of the costume under his belly (so they're not against Burger's skin, they're on the outside of the felt sleeve). I intended to stitch it after pinning it just to see how it looked, but it seems to work as-is. Burger doesn't exactly love Halloween costumes – he wiggles out of them in about 5.5 seconds – so I figured it wasn't worth breaking out a needle.
Oh man, and my favorite detail is the gold fringe that I added to the bottom of Clara's flared jeans. She LOVES it ("look how they shake mommy!") and I'm so excited that it was only $1 worth of trim from JoAnn which I safety pinned in place (so once again, it can be removed and Clara can wear these jeans for the rest of the year). Although she loves them so much, we might de-cow-spot them and leave the fringe on for a little while… just because she gets such a kick out of it.
Here's Clara's Jessie hair from the back. Isn't that long braid adorable? Oh man, I think my brain will explode when she actually has hair I can braid. Squuuueeeee!
Oh and the belt! I made that with another trim thing I found at JoAnn (it was woven leather-looking trim that was the perfect width for her pants). I secured it with a round plastic pin/button (you know, the ones people wear on their lapel that say "vote for me for student council") but it was a clear fillable plastic button, so I opened it and put yellow construction paper in it with a star in front of it that I cut from leftover brown slinky dog felt. Since it has a safety pin on the back of it, it holds the woven trim together like a belt, so for around $4 I made her that little cowgirl accessory.
Weirdly enough, Clara's favorite Jessie activity so far has been sliding her legs out on the floor like this in her boots (and occasionally hurting Woody, if he's nearby). She's got the moves like Jagger.
What sort of costumes are you guys DIYing this year? Anyone else using odd things like white duct tape when it comes to your costume? Or are you happy to buy something cute off the rack if it grabs you? I gotta admit we did that last year…
… and the year before…
… and it was tons of fun too. Hope you guys all have a safe and happy Halloween!!! And I'd love to hear (and see!) what your kiddos are going to be this year. And any grown ups in costume = awesomeville. Links, links, y'all!

SO adorable! And I'm impressed with your avoidance of the dreadful sewing machine – I do my best to leave it in it's intimidating box as much as possible as well! :)
No costumes for us this year – though our dog naturally looks like a lion if that counts? We're just enjoying handing out candy to the kiddos. Maybe once we have our own we'll get back into the costumes! But for now I'll just have to dote on my cowardly lion. ha!
Happy Halloween!
My husband and I are the same — no costumes. We both like Halloween but imagine we'll get more dressed up and such when we have our own kids. For now, we really enjoy buying lots of candy and handing it out to our neighbors' kids.
No costumes for us either! My husband isn't a costume kind of guy, and didn't really grow up doing Halloween either. I on the other hand have a costume designer for a mother. I'll definitely get back into it when we have kids. In the mean time my husband has LOVED taking over the road of haywagon driver from the farmer next door. Every year they fill up the hay wagon with hay, he decorates it with the neighbors, and they tow the kids around from house to house on it with the tractor. I hop on and when they get next door I jump out and run home to hand out the candy, and then jump back on with the dogs in tow!
Eventually I'm sure I'll dress up again (most of the adults do!) while Andy continues to drive the hay wagon. I think it might be one of his favorite things.
Girl you knocked that outta the park! Not only does she look adorable but SOOO happy and that's all you can ask for, right? Burger, well, Burger tolerates it because he loves you! :) Happy Halloween YHL family!
So, so cute!!
Great job Sherry! I love the jeans fringe!
Too cute!! I can't believe how she has changed in the last year and how fast her hair is growing!
soo cute! Congrats on the awesome job!!
I made two costumes this year. Both my girls looked on pintrest…that is what I get for that addiction. My oldest is a Gameboy and my youngest a jellyfish. I am quite proud of them both.
Love the Jesse Costume. I went as that last year and made my husband be Woody. We were a hit a the church halloween festival.
So cute! love the costumes!
I'm a lazy halloweener. Mae is a cupcake I got off the wrack at Target. It may be my favorite costume yet. Clara (and Burger) look adorable!
My daughter is an Ewok this year. (Last year Leia and earlier this year I photoshopped her red riding hood cape black and tossed a light saber in her hand to make her a Sith).
Just in time for Lucas to completely sell out to Disney and promise three more movies. Womp Womp. But I digress.
I die. That little Jessie is too much. Her braid! I love it all and I love that is all removable and wearable. Chris and I were Waldo and Carmen Sandiego (both using clothing that we now wear all season) and Greta was Mowgli for our costume party over the weekend. I know Mowgli from Jungle Book is a little boy, but I couldn't help myself–the resemblance was uncanny!
Will you and John dress up?!? It might be my favorite thing to do. :)
"The Claaaaaaaaaaaaaw" Hilarious. Hahaha!
I am DYING over her costume it is so cute!! I'm a Disney nut so i got so excited to see this cute Jessie costume! Gotta remember all your removable ideas for when I have kids….or for myself lets be honest.
My husband and I went as characters from Community (he went as the Greendale human being and I went as Britta dressed up as Michael Jackson from the celebrity impersonation episode), with mostly store bought pieces. Our friends totally DIY'ed their dia de los muertos costumes though, and I was so impressed! You're never too old to dress up and have fun in my opinion.
Clara's Jessie outfit is adorable! I actually considered going as the same thing :)
Love it! I did a DIY Jessie costume 2 years ago – so fun :)
Have a great time Trick or Treating!
You guys! Your creativity has been off the charts this week! The chalkboard was killer, the shadow box fun, and this is amazing. Super creative, original, and just unbelievable. Just giving you a thumbs way up :) My son is Woody this year (a store bought costume, although now I of course think it would have been better to DYI).
I love it!! I wonder if I could rock the Jessie look?? I still don't have a costume yet and time is running out, but think I have all of those things around my house!! Hmmmm…
I love the Jessie costume!!! It's so cute and clever. I love halloween costumes that can be reused as either regular clothing or repurposed into a dress up box for a playroom.
Glad the CT book tour date is still on! I'll be there!!!!!
I LOOOOOVE to make costumes, although I usually get myself in a heap of trouble and I end up cursing the process. Last year I made my son's costume, he was a Lima Bean Monster (its a book). This year I made both of their costumes. My son is a ghost (pretty easy) and my daughter is a hot air balloon….NOT so easy. Oy.
I usually find costumes at yard sales, and for my oldest daughter she likes princess dress up costumes. Anyway, I put together a montage of Halloween costumes from years past on my blog here: http://controllingcraziness.blogspot.com/2012/10/halloween-costumes-of-years-past.html
I love costumes that serve double duty such as wearing as regular clothes or ones that can fit year after year after year (as long as your kid still likes it!)
Clara and Burger look so cute. Great job!
I love homemade costumes, and Clara's is great, good job! My daughter is going as a hot air balloon, which required weaving strips of kraft paper onto a cardboard box, adding "sand bags" which are just paper lunch bags, and a 3′ latex helium balloon from the party store. Total cost is $5, and it is going to be SO FUN to ride in! I'm jealous.
OMG, I want to see a picture. I too did a hot air balloon for my daughter (funny that your post was right below mine). When I called about getting a helium balloon from the store, they quoted me $20!!!!! I did a beach ball instead and it turned out fine, but it was very challenging getting it to balance. I was also nervous about the balloon popping.
Clara just keeps getting cuter and cuter! Great costume!
so so adorable! love it :)
Loving that Jesse costume!! I love to do a little costume DIY! This year we have a cowboy to go with your cowgirl!
And an 80s girl — and yes that totally made me feel old when she asked to be an 80s girl!
Great job on the Jessie and Slinky Dog costumes! Brilliant! Both look absolutely adorable. That Clara is such a cutie pie! Just a tip on the braid – I did one for one of my granddaughters. Made it extra long and just hot glued across a plastic headband. That was over a year ago and it's still going strong!
She is the cutest Jessie! Happy Halloween to y'all! Hope you are staying dry!
