But it wasn't the titles, accolades, power, or money they've acquired that has made them BOLD because when they first started they had none of that yet they jumped anyway.
Sharing their passions, stories, and expertise you'll soon discover why BOLD is the new sexy! You don't have to be smart, sassy, strong or sophisticated to be BOLD but as a result of being BOLD you become all of that and so much more. In fact you'll find yourself running up the cliff without fear ready to take on the world as you explore opportunities you never knew existed while playing with a child-like behavior, and what was once just a dream soon becomes your reality. If you know you deserve better than mediocrity, excuses and the BS stories you tell yourself then…….. you owe it to yourself to get BOLD!
Within the first 60 seconds of the call we got down to business - serious business. She'll cut through any BS that you have standing in your way and doesn't take any excuse that may come out of your mouth.
After 90 minutes on the phone; I had an action plan laid out for all of 2014. She taught me what my next logical step should be and why I should be doing it today.
She also beat it into me that I'm the only one standing in my way and that has made all the difference in my career.
Thank you Melissa! Those 90 minutes were priceless! I never kept track of my sales goals or my daily goals but she always talks about how success leaves clues. After diving into the materials, within the first week, I made $1,000. AND I started building products of my own because I had clarity in what I wanted to provide. I wasn't making money in my business because I was a "wantrepreneur" - I'll admit it. Now my coaching business is growing almost on a daily basis, I'm continuously tracking my goals, obtaining more speaking engagements, networking with a purpose, and getting booked on radio spots through out of the box tactics that set me apart from everyone else. Within the first month of joining this course, I tripled my sales and it paid for itself! Hands down the best investment I've ever made. What are you waiting for?
Melissa's confidence, tenacity and genuineness are just a few traits that make her so super successful and a person you want to be around. Well before I joined the group, Melissa showed her personal interest and support which is what sets her apart from other business and personal development coaches.
After joining her group, Melissa not only over-delivered in every aspect, but she showed me a different perspective, provided me with better alternatives and as a result, I am on track to not only meet, but to exceed the goals set for my business AND life. After all, Melissa is a big believer in achieving a balance, and she helps her clients do just that.
I highly recommend working with Melissa and joining the Baller on Demand group because you will WANT TO improve, to get out of your comfort zone and reach for your highly-set goals - and will indeed see the real difference and real results!
Location: Congers, New York
Melissa has out of the box thinking and really gets to you when she challenges you and makes you realize wishing doesn't produce results. She holds you accountable for the goals you set, and whenever you are thinking of failing, she brings you back on track.
I finally hired Melissa as my coach in December 2013 and started working with her. I have made great progress since and actually making my dream come true in a month.
I would recommend Melissa for anyone who is looking to get to their next level of success. Big BOOM (my word for encouragement) for Melissa :)
The conversation that I will never forget with Melissa is the one where we talked about her own personal struggles in her entrepreneurial journey. I remember talking for two hours with Melissa about overcoming odds and making believers out of people who thought she was never going to make it. Melissa, you rock and there's nothing sweeter than proving haters wrong.
Melissa made me realize how important is having a coach in the journey of success and how essential it is to surround yourself with people who are positive and smarter than you.
What makes Melissa different from other coaches is that she has hit rock bottom only to get back up taking massive action towards success.
If you haven't talked to Melissa, I don't know what you are waiting for :)
Across online social circles, Melissa has built a strong (and deserved) reputation as someone with vision and diligence – someone who gets things done! I have no hesitation in recommending Melissa and know that she will always give of her best in any endeavour.
Melissa is very intuitive, she cuts through any layers of doubt or fear you have and provides you with a clear cut plan of attack that delivers results every time.
I would highly recommend Melissa for her services as she had a substantial impact on my business. I will work with Melissa again in the future!
Her expertise is top-notch and is all tested by her in advance so she knows what works. The value she provides to my business has proven to be far beyond the investment I made. I highly recommend her services as a business coach!

I can't recommend Melissa highly enough.

Orthodox worship to a Western Rite
Post: #16
Hi Simon,
Perhaps I wasn't clear enough. I am not saying that any BOC liturgy takes the "oi God" form - merely that in earlier postings the suggestions seem to be that BOC liturgy needs "updating" and that there is a great danger of "oi God" in doing this. The slippery slope that Anglicanism is taking!
I hope I made clear from my posting that I am currently a "seeker" and my very real concern is committing to a church that sees itself in need of "updating" or westernising or whatever and then falling apart like the Anglican church.
How widespread is this move to "westernize"?
Love and peace,
Steve. :?

orthodox worship to a western rite
The Liturgy never needs updating apart from clarifications needed due to changes in the meaning of words used. However if we speak of the Syriac rite, which uses an ancient form of Syriac that has not been used as a spoken language for centuries, then no clarifications are needed.
It seems to me that to have a Western Rite as opposed to an Eastern Rite is counter productive. The rite whether it comes from Greek or Syriac or Old Church Slavonic is a universal (catholic) rite and as such, if to be used by speakers of English, what is required is a translation of sufficient merit to be used in Churches. Having spent my school years hearing Anglican hymns I feel that these do not create the specific atmosphere of awe and dread that ancient hymns and prayers intoned in Syriac produce.I am sure that it is possible to use such melodies and singing style in English.
These are just a few thoughts that will no doubt provoke a response!

Dear Steve,
I am not aware of any move to 'weternize'/'modernize' the Liturgy within the British Orthodox Church. In the wider Orthodox context I am aware that some Orthodox who worship in English prefer to use contemporary English whereas others (such as the British Orthodox Church) use Liturgical English which of us feel better encourage a sense of the numinous, the Holy, the Other. Even within the context of this thread it seems the most radical proposals I note are as to whether one might consider an Orthodox version of either BCP or a traditional Roman rite or Sarum... none of which stike me as desparately dripping with modernism! I suppose that ultimately I can only comment on myself and observe that I am fine and more than fine with the Liturgy of Saint James together with Matins and Vespers (and marriage, baptism and other services) according to the Coptic Orthodox rites in traditional or Liturgical English. That's quite modern enough for me.
Should you be interested at all, I do have DVDs of British Orthodox worship and am always happy to make a copy for anyone interested... though at the moment I am struggling with recalcitrant technology in the form of a particularly unco-operative DVD recorder. One of the things I love about my mother Church, the Coptic Orthodox Church, is her ability to be utterly traditional in liturgy, spirituality and doctrinal belief and yet able to employ so much moden technology that some have suggested Copts should change the Creed to belief in One, Holy, Catholic and Electronic Church! Sometimes I feel I have no better chance of qualifying electronically than spiritually!!
If I could make one useful contribution to this thread however it would be to direct people to Michael Kennedy's post (31st October 2006) which to me breathes the true spirit of Orthodoxy. "Speaking personally, and based on this experience, I don't believe that a Western Rite is at all necessary for the church to grow... What does matter is good English untouched by the curse of political correctness or any other kind of newspeak and good theology. I think we have both. The onus now is on us to serve the Liturgy attentively with faith and humility - a sobering thought." Amen and amen to the words of one for whom I have profound respect.
As a final thought, I love your quote from St Isaac the Syrian - one of many favourite quotes I enjoy from the saint who is perhaps my favourite spiritual writer.
I hope that you find the Church for which you are looking. Unless you have any violent objection I shall take the liberty of adding your name to those we bring before God by name (for His blessing) in Church in the sacred heart of the Liturgy.

Abba Seraphim's comments on the Western Rite in Orthodoxy
Abba Seraphim has recently been corresponding on the topic of the Western Rite in Orthodoxy and has authorised me to release some extracts from these, as expressing his views:
"For the sake of clarification, I would reiterate that I am not intrinsically hostile to W RITE. In the first place I do not believe that Pope Shenouda would wish to authorise its use in the British Orthodox Church and, in the second, I am not persuaded that it is the best way to bring people to Orthodoxy. There are also pragmatic reasons why a small community, like ours, needs the identity of a unified liturgical rite rather than choice. Nor do I subscribe to the view that divides all liturgies into either East or West. For me the Liturgy of St. James is essentially an apostolic rite rather than eastern. However, I do wonder about the adoption by most WRITE groups of either Tridentine or Reformed Liturgies when logic suggests that liturgies used in the West when it was still regarded as Orthodox, are preferable. As you know, from our discussions over the years, I find that extra-liturgical services such as Benediction do not represent authentic Orthodox spirituality. Although we both believe that the Bread and Wine become the true Body & Blood of our Lord, the theology of transubstantiation - which underpins so much of Western sacramental devotion - is not how Orthodox understand the Eucharist and it is dishonest to pretend it is all the same.
There are some of us who have genuine concerns about the nature of "conversions" to Orthodoxy when the aim seems to be to present it in an Anglican or Roman ethos - a sort of Uniatism in reverse ! We also know the dangers of a negative conversion, where people are more likely to be united by a common enemy than a common faith. The sight of right-wing African bishops and the Archbishop of Sydney, making common cause, does not fill me with much confidence that Gafcon or any similar grouping will achieve anything other than schism upon schism."

Dear Peter,
How very wise our Metropolitan is, and how accurate his words.
Why fuss over East and West? We have an Apostolic rite from the earliest times, and its sonorous and uplifting qualities are timeless and need no geographical fix. If we look at what St. Cyril of Jerusalem writes in his Catechetical lectures about the Liturgy, that is what we do.
It is wonderful to be one with the ancient practice of the Church.
In Christ,
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)

Plagiarism.... by me
Hello All,
Many thanks Severus. It does clarify things. I found the following criticisms at Wikipedia and reinforced my opinions of W'rite . Sorry if it's a bit long but I didn't like to edit it. :wink:
Despite the fact that the Western Rite is an established part of the Orthodoxy in North America, it does not exist without the presence of some vocal critics. These criticisms run the gamut from objections of a liturgical or historical nature to direct claims that members of the Western Rite are not actually Orthodox in their praxis.
Byzantine Rite only
Many commentators argue that the only rite which is and can be acceptable to Orthodoxy is the Byzantine Rite, whether in its Greek or Slavic usages. Many Orthodox Christians currently boast of the Church's liturgical homogeneity, claiming that, no matter where one might go in the Orthodox world, the liturgy will be familiar, even if it's in another language. Of course, as Paul Meyendorff points out that despite the fact that the majority of Orthodox Churches use the Byzantine Rite, they often use it in very different ways, particularly in North America with the presence of items such as pews, organs, weekly communication of all the laity, and a much shorter liturgy.[28]
In addition, even if the claim of the homogenous celebration of the Byzantine Rite could be claimed for the modern period, this has historically not been the case. During the period of separation of the Eastern and Western Churches, it would have been impossible to speak of the Byzantine Rite as being the only liturgy in use, even in the Eastern Church. The Rite of Constantinople only acquired dominance in the Eastern Church through a slow process that was not complete until at least the thirteenth century.
Lack of liturgical continuity
In continuation of the above criticism, many commentators argue that while the Western Rite was at one time Orthodox, its Orthodoxy ceased after the Great Schism. This argument essentially states that, because the Western Rite died out in the Church, and because a continuous living tradition is a necessary element of liturgical practice, the Western Rite ought to be abandoned and only the Byzantine Rite should be utilized.
Western Rite advocates have pointed out that there is nothing inherently unorthodox about creating a new rite for the Church provided that the Orthodoxy of the rite is sound. The Byzantine Rite has grown in ways which have caused liturgies and devotions to develop in one location without subsequent universal practice. Such services would have been invented from scratch based on pastoral need at some point, yet few Western Rite critics would say that such services or devotions should be abandoned, thus perceiving to lend to the legitimacy of restoring an ancient rite of the undivided Church.
Furthermore, it is also argued that the Divine Liturgy of St. James, once nearly extinct except in Jerusalem and the island of Kephalonia, has in the present time enjoyed resurgence outside of its traditional strongholds for use on October 23 to celebrate the Feast of St. James.
The Western Rite is Reverse Uniatism
The situation of Western Orthodox parishes has been compared with the status of the autonomous Eastern Catholic Churches (often called "Uniate" by Orthodox Christians) in communion with the Roman Catholic Church. For centuries, there have been hierarchical churches in full communion with Rome. Eastern Catholics, despite usages that more closely resemble the majority of Orthodox Christians, largely share a common dogma with Latin Catholics, a situation that is called 'uniatism'. Analogously, the Western Rite Orthodox share the same faith as their Byzantine Rite Orthodox brethren despite a different liturgical rite.
However, generally unlike Eastern Catholics, Western Rite Orthodox congregations are not the result of historically complex political and ecclesiastical developments, but rather of small-scale conversion to Orthodoxy by individuals and congregations. Also, Western Rite congregations all adhere to the same bishops as their Byzantine brethren; they do not constitute a separate church of their own. Criticism of the Western Rite based on its similarity with the 'Uniates' has been called guilt by association, overplaying a superficial similarity of form. Because the ideas are analogous, the argument goes, they must therefore share the same negative place as the so called "Uniates" do in the minds of some. Yet the more firmly established criticisms of uniatism usually have nothing to do with rite but rather with dogma, ecclesiology, and allegedly subversive missionary work.
The Western Rite is divisive
Another criticism is that the Western Rite is inherently divisive. Following different liturgical traditions than their neighboring Byzantine Rite Orthodox Christians, those using the Western Rite do not share liturgical unity with them and present an unfamiliar face to the majority of Orthodox Christians. This sentiment is expressed most famously by Kallistos Ware, who was particularly concerned about the further fragmentation of Orthodoxy in non-Orthodox countries, in this case in Britain.[29]
Whether the Western Rite survive in the Orthodox Church and will be accepted by the majority who follow the Byzantine Rite remains yet to be seen. In the meantime, the Byzantine Rite bishops who oversee Western Rite parishes and many who oversee no Western Rite parishes continue to declare the Western Orthodox to be Orthodox Christians and regard them as fully in communion with the rest of the Church. Though there have been negative appraisals on both sides of the Western Rite issue, supporters of the Western Rite claim that there is nothing inherently divisive about having a separate liturgical practice, particularly since these churches remain under the pastoral care of their diocesan bishop rather than a Western Rite bishop. As yet, there are no schisms within the episcopacy of the Orthodox Church regarding the issue of Western Rite parishes.
Conversion without conversion
Another criticism often leveled against the Western Rite is based on the fact that the majority of the members of Western Rite parishes are converts to Orthodoxy. The argument states that Christians want to be Orthodox but ?not too Orthodox,? so they keep their familiar rites under a new bishop. The unstated assumption behind this argument, however, is similar to the argument against all non-Byzantine liturgical traditions: that the Orthodox Church includes only the Byzantine Rite, and so if one wants to be truly Orthodox, one must also be Byzantine."
The bit about conversion without conversion especially chimed with me. Anyway,
Love and peace,
Enter eagerly into the treasure-house that lies within you and so you will see the treasure house of heaven:for the two are the same and there is but one single entry to them both. (St Isaac the Syrian)

Dear Steve,
The article meakes some interesting points, some of which underline the comments made by Abba Seraphim.
There is an interesting discussion to be had on the subject of 'conversion without conversion', and it might make an interesting thread.
In Christ,
In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 John 4:10)

ROCKVILLE, Md. - School board members in Montgomery County say they won't support canceling classes for Muslim holy days next year.
The Washington Post reports ( http://wapo.st/T2vT8N) that the school board's decision came during a meeting Tuesday.
Board members said that while they wouldn't close schools now for another religious holiday, student and staff attendance on Muslim holidays would be tracked to see if that move made sense in the future.
Muslims leaders asked that their holidays be given the same treatment as Christian and Jewish holidays, when schools are closed. They were especially seeking recognition of Eid al-Adha, a holy day that falls in mid-October next year.

Curse client runs horribly. I've never had it work well, I just install them manually.
Is there any real difference between using curse client to install add ons vs wow matrix or is it just a personal preference ?
Sent from my Dell Venue
Curse client runs horribly. I've never had it work well, I just install them manually.
[Today 06:48 PM] Ion:swimming in a natural body of water ISN'T acceptable...it's momentarily tolerable
I also just install addons manually.
Don't really see where the problem with curse client could be, been using it for years now and works perfectly.
Would blame Your system tbh - either hdd issues or ram maybe? Used it on intel c2d@4gigs ram with GF8600 on XP@32 and later win7@64 for ages, and now using it on Phenom2 x4 with double ram and R6950 on 7@64 and never had a single problem, ever... and it's few years now.
I just periodically check my favorites lists on wowinterface and curse. They tell me if there are any updates I haven't downloaded.

Associated Press
ANNAPOLIS, Md. (AP) -- Two more casino companies have applied for a license to build a casino near the nation's capital, bringing the total number of applicants to three.
Penn National Gaming Inc. and Greenwood Racing, Inc. both submitted proposals before Friday's deadline with the state. A subsidiary of MGM Resorts International submitted its proposal earlier this week for an $800 million casino at National Harbor.
Penn National is proposing a $700 million casino at the company's Rosecroft Raceway in Prince George's County. Maryland Casino LLC, a subsidiary of Greenwood Racing, is proposing to build an $800 million casino in Fort Washington.
Maryland lawmakers last year approved allowing one casino location in Prince George's. It would be the state's sixth casino location.

Islamabad, Pakistan (CNN) -- Militants attacked an army base in northwest Pakistan in a coordinated assault that resulted in an hours long gun battle that left at least 35 people dead on Saturday, intelligence and security officials said.
At least 13 security personnel, 10 civilians and 12 militants were killed in the early morning attack on the base that included housing for Pakistani military personnel and their families near the town of Serai Naurang in the Khyber Pakhtunkhwa province, the officials said.
About 40 militants targeted the base as well at least one house believed to be a home for some of the personnel and their families.
Two of the militants who were killed were wearing suicide jackets, intelligence officials said. Ten civilians, including three women and three children, also died when one of the suicide bombers entered a nearby house and detonated the explosives, they said.
The Pakistani Taliban claimed responsibility for the assault, saying it was in retaliation for a drone strike in nearby North Waziristan last month that killed two of its commanders.
"This attack was to avenge the deaths of two of our commanders who had been killed in a drone attack last month," Pakistani Taliban spokesman Ehsanullah Ehsan told CNN.
The Pakistani military confirmed the attack, saying the army responded in full force.
Journalist Zahir Shah Sherazi contributed to this report.

Posts Tagged 'MOINK Recipe'
One of my favorite BBQ appetizers MOINK balls gets some press !
I love MOINK balls. Just love them. So easy to make so easy to serve and one of the most perfect bites of BBQ happiness in my opinion. So I was more than pleased to get to make them for Jennifer Bain Food Editor from the Toronto Star.
Here is the LINK to the online article on MOINK balls. Glad to see Larry Gaian is getting some press for this as well as Jason Day and Aaron Chronister from BBQ Addicts – BBQ Makes everything Taste better!
For the recipe featured in the Toronto Star I used:
Hovey's Gourmet Meats Ground Beef
Hovey's Gourmet Meats Double Smoked Bacon
Traeger Prime Rib Rub
Dried parsley
Garlic Pepper
Butcher's BBQ Honey Rub
Sweet Baby Rays Hickory & Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce
Diva Q MOINK balls
1 pound ground beef
1 pound double smoked bacon (slices cut in half)
2 teaspoons prime rib rub
2 tablespoons dried parsley
1 tablespoons garlic pepper
1/4 cup Butchers BBQ honey rub
1/2 cup Sweet Baby Rays Hickory & Brown Sugar BBQ Sauce
In a medium size bowl mix the ground beef and spices. Form into meatballs approximately 1 ounce each. Wrap each meatball with half a slice of bacon and secure with toothpick. Sprinkle the MOINK balls with Butchers BBQ Honey Rub.
Prepare the grill for indirect cooking. Preheat grill to low temperature approx 250⁰F (120⁰C). Use hickory chunks or chips depending on your grill.
Please note if using a gas grill the smoker packet will need to be replaced every half and hour.
Place the MOINK balls on the grill for 2 hours. Temp probe the meatballs ensuring they are at least at minimum 160⁰F internal temperature. When the bacon is crispy glaze with the BBQ sauce and turn the heat to 350⁰F (176⁰C) until the sauce is caramelized. Serve warm.
** Warning these are highly addictive!

The Down and Dirty Movement to Reinvent Farming
Declining food quality, degraded farmland, an aging population of farmers, and an increasingly tight hold on food production by corporations have inspired a growing movement: The Greenhorns showcases how young farmers are getting down and dirty, learning how to farm outside the industrial agriculture model.

The theme of today's IntPiPoMo is Throne of the Four Winds, sister post of the Vortex Pinnacle. A few days ago a friend invited me along while her guild got achievements for some Cataclysm raids. It was loads of fun, and after completing Throne of the Four Winds I flew around admiring the scenery – and, of course, taking screenshots for IntPiPoMo! These are a few of the ceilings in this gorgeous raid.
Throne of the Four winds can be completed by a group of level 90 characters with little trouble. It can be found in the southern part of Uldum and is definitely worth the run!

'Live Tiles' Experiment Makes Oslo Passersby the Life of the Party…for Just a Minute
Oh, what a tease, but truth be told, our expression would be just the same as these dumbfounded Oslo residents, who just happened to stumble upon a downtown dance party they weren't invited to. Yet, having invoked the powers of Michael Jackson in the "Billie Jean" video, the passersby step on a glowing tile and, voila, the party comes to them. Therein lies the concept of this campaign from McCann Oslo to promote Microsoft's "Live Tiles" real-time info tool for Windows 8 and Windows Phone 8 (side note: MSFT is actually being sued over Live Tiles as we speak). Hometown dance-rockers Datarock do a serviceable job in this ditty, which leaves us wondering how or why that bespectacled guy never flinches or puts down his sandwich through the entire affair. Good on him. Credits after the jump.

Rocca Family Vineyards is owned by husband and wife team Mary Rocca and Eric Grigsby. We purchased our first vineyard, the Grigsby Vineyard, in 1999. It is a 21 acre parcel near the corner of Silverado Trail and Yountville Crossroad. Planted in 1989, mainly to Cabernet Sauvignon, it also has small amounts of Syrah and Merlot. We planted our Collinetta Vineyard in 2002, to Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, and Petit Verdot. Our goal is to produce estate red wines that are full-flavored and expressive, yet velvety smooth and elegant. As our winemaker Paul Colantuoni states, "Eighty percent of winemaking happens in the vineyard. It takes a great site and balanced vines to make great wine." We work carefully with our winegrapes, transforming the fully ripened fruit into wine using long, slow fermentations; frequent punchdowns; gentle pressing; and extended barrel ageing. The wines are bottled without fining or filtration. It is a tightrope walk between gentle handling to avoid harshness, while vigorously extracting all the rich varietal character of the fruit.
Our limited production wines have garnered praise from consumers & connoisseurs, as well as from the press.
Our farming practices for both vineyards are holistic, guided by the closely connected twin goals of sustainable and organic farming to bring the vines into long-term natural balance with their environment, and producing intensely flavored, balanced wines that express the personality of the land that bears them.
Our Cabernet Sauvignons are both highly acclaimed and sought-after. The current 2009 vintage received 94 points in the Wine Enthusiast, while our 2009 Grigsby Vineyard Cabernet took a Double Gold Medal and Best Cabernet at the prestigious San Francisco International Wine Competition.
Please also visit our website, www.roccawines.com, to see a video produced by the Wine Spectator featuring Mary Rocca, called "Growing Syrah in the Napa Valley".

Now They Tell Us
In recent months, US news organizations have rushed to expose the Bush administration's pre-war failings on Iraq. "Iraq's Arsenal Was Only on Paper," declared a recent headline in The Washington Post. "Pressure Rises for Probe of Prewar-Intelligence," said The Wall Street Journal. "So, What Went Wrong?" asked Time. In The New Yorker, Seymour Hersh described how the Pentagon set up its own intelligence unit, the Office of Special Plans, to sift for data to support the administration's claims about Iraq. And on "Truth, War and Consequences," a Frontline documentary that aired last October, a procession of intelligence analysts testified to the administration's use of what one of them called "faith-based intelligence."
Watching and reading all this, one is tempted to ask, where were you all before the war? Why didn't we learn more about these deceptions and concealments in the months when the administration was pressing its case for regime change—when, in short, it might have made a difference? Some maintain that the many analysts who've spoken out since the end of the war were mute before it. But that's not true. Beginning in the summer of 2002, the "intelligence community" was rent by bitter disputes over how Bush officials were using the data on Iraq. Many journalists knew about this, yet few chose to write about it.
Before the war, for instance, there was a loud debate among intelligence analysts over the information provided to the Pentagon by Iraqi opposition leader Ahmed Chalabi and defectors linked to him. Yet little of this seeped into the press. Not until September 29, 2003, for instance, did The New York Times get around to informing readers about the controversy over Chalabi and the defectors associated with him. In a front-page article headlined "Agency Belittles Information Given by Iraqi Defectors," Douglas Jehl reported that a study by the Defense Intelligence Agency had found that most of the information provided by defectors connected to Ahmed Chalabi "was of little or no value." Several defectors introduced to US intelligence by the Iraqi National Congress, Jehl wrote, "invented or exaggerated their credentials as people with direct knowledge of the Iraqi government and its suspected unconventional weapons program."
Why, I wondered, had it taken the Times so long to report this? Around the time that Jehl's article appeared, I ran into a senior editor at the Times and asked him about it. Well, he said, some reporters at the paper had relied heavily on Chalabi as a source and so were not going to write too critically about him.
The editor did not name names, but he did not have to. The Times's Judith Miller has been the subject of harsh criticism. Slate, The Nation, Editor & Publisher, the American Journalism Review, and the Columbia Journalism Review have all run articles accusing her of being too eager to accept official claims before the war and too eager to report the discovery of banned weapons after it.1 Especially controversial has been Miller's alleged reliance on Chalabi and the defectors who were in touch with him. Last May, Howard Kurtz of The Washington Post wrote of an e-mail exchange between Miller and John Burns, then the Times bureau chief in Baghdad, in which Burns rebuked Miller for writing an article about Chalabi without informing him. Miller replied that she had been covering Chalabi for about ten years and had "done most of the stories about him for our paper." Chalabi, she added, "has provided most of the front page exclusives on WMD to our paper."
When asked about this, Miller said that the significance of her ties to Chalabi had been exaggerated. While she had met some defectors through him, she said, only one had resulted in a front-page story on WMD prior to the war. Her assertion that Chalabi had provided most of the Times's front-page exclusives on WMD was, she said, part of "an angry e-mail exchange with a colleague." In the heat of such exchanges, Miller said, "You say things that aren't true. If you look at the record, you'll see they aren't true."
This seems a peculiar admission. Yet on the broader issue of her ties to Chalabi, the record bears Miller out. Before the war, Miller wrote or co-wrote several front-page articles about Iraq's WMD based on information from defectors; only one of them came via Chalabi. An examination of those stories, though, shows that they were open to serious question. The real problem was relying uncritically on defectors of any stripe, whether supplied by Chalabi or not.
This points to a larger problem. In the period before the war, US journalists were far too reliant on sources sympathetic to the administration. Those with dissenting views—and there were more than a few—were shut out. Reflecting this, the coverage was highly deferential to the White House. This was especially apparent on the issue of Iraq's weapons of mass destruction—the heart of the President's case for war. Despite abundant evidence of the administration's brazen misuse of intelligence in this matter, the press repeatedly let officials get away with it. As journalists rush to chronicle the administration's failings on Iraq, they should pay some attention to their own.
On August 26, 2002, Vice President Dick Cheney gave a speech that was widely interpreted as signaling the administration's intention to wage war on Iraq. There "is no doubt," Cheney declared, that Saddam Hussein "has weapons of mass destruction" and is preparing to use them against the United States. Saddam, he said, not only had biological and chemical weapons but had "resumed his efforts to acquire nuclear weapons." If allowed to continue on this course, he added, Saddam could subject his adversaries to "nuclear blackmail." Accordingly, the United States had no choice but to take preemptive action against him.
The reference to nuclear weapons was especially telling. While Iraq was widely believed to have biological and chemical weapons, there was much more uncertainty regarding its nuclear program. In 1998, when UN inspectors left the country, it was generally agreed that Iraq's nuclear program had been dismantled. The question was, what had happened in the four years since? In his speech, Cheney flatly stated that Iraq had resumed its quest for a bomb, but neither he nor any other Bush official offered any supporting evidence.
At the time of Cheney's speech, Times reporters Judith Miller and Michael Gordon were investigating the state of Iraq's arsenal. Both had reported on Iraq for many years and brought certain perspectives to the assignment. Gordon, the paper's chief military correspondent, had after the Gulf War teamed up with retired general Bernard Trainor to write The Generals' War: The Inside Story of the Conflict in the Gulf (1995). A detailed account of the military's conduct of the war, it strongly criticized the US decision to leave Saddam in power. From his many years of reporting on intelligence matters, Gordon knew how shocked US analysts had been after the Gulf War to find how far along Iraq had been in its effort to develop a nuclear weapon.
Miller, the coauthor of Saddam Hussein and the Crisis in the Gulf (1990) and Germs: Biological Weapons and America's Secret War (2001), was intimately acquainted with Saddam Hussein's genius for deception. In February 1998, she (together with William Broad) had written a 4,900-word report about Iraq's secret program to produce bioweapons and its success in concealing them from the outside world. According to the story, many former weapons inspectors and other experts with whom Miller and Broad talked believed that Baghdad "is still hiding missiles and germ weapons, and the means to make both."
Later that year, Miller met one of the first defectors who gave her information—Khidhir Hamza, a scientist who, until the late 1980s, had been a senior official in Iraq's nuclear program. After fleeing Baghdad in 1994, Hamza had made his way to Washington, where in 1997 he went to work for the Institute for Science and International Security, a small think tank, which arranged for Miller and fellow Times reporter James Risen to interview him. The result was a front-page story relating Hamza's account of the "inner workings" of Saddam's push for a bomb prior to the Gulf War, and recounting Hamza's belief that Saddam retained the infrastructure to duplicate that effort.
While seeing Hamza, Miller told me, she also was in touch with Ahmed Chalabi, and in 2001 he arranged for her to visit Thailand to interview another defector, a civil engineer named Adnan Ihsan Saeed al-Haideri. The resulting front-page story related al-Haideri's claim to have personally renovated "secret facilities for biological, chemical and nuclear weapons." These facilities were said to exist "in underground wells, private villas and under Saddam Hussein Hospital in Baghdad." Charles Duelfer, a former inspector, was quoted as saying that al-Haideri's account was consistent with other reports showing that Iraq had "not given up its desire" for WMD.
In 2002, Miller went to Turkey to interview yet another defector, Ahmed al-Shemri. A member of the Iraqi Officers Movement, another opposition group, al-Shemri (a pseudonym) claimed to have worked in Iraq's chemical weapons program, and he told Miller that Saddam had continued to produce VX and other chemical agents even while international inspectors were in Iraq. Iraq, he added, continued to store such agents at secret sites throughout the country.
By late summer of 2002, then, Miller had developed a circle of sources who claimed to have firsthand knowledge of Saddam's continued push for prohibited weapons. And as she and Gordon made the rounds of administration officials, they picked up a dramatic bit of information about Iraq's nuclear program. During the previous fourteen months, they were told, Iraq had tried to import thousands of high-strength aluminum tubes. The tubes had been intercepted, and specialists sent to examine them had concluded from their diameter, thickness, and other technical properties that they had only one possible use—as casings for rotors in centrifuges to enrich uranium, a key step in producing an atomic bomb.
This was dramatic news. If true, it would represent a rare piece of concrete evidence for Saddam's nuclear aspirations. And, on Sunday, September 8, 2002, the Times (then under the editorship of Howell Raines) led with the story, written by Miller and Gordon. "US Says Hussein Intensifies Quest for A-Bomb Parts," the headline said. The lead was emphatic:
More than a decade after Saddam Hussein agreed to give up weapons of mass destruction, Iraq has stepped up its quest for nuclear weapons and has embarked on a worldwide hunt for materials to make an atomic bomb, Bush administration officials said today.
Gordon and Miller went on to cite the officials' claims about the aluminum tubes and their intended use in centrifuges to enrich uranium.
The article contained several caveats, noting, for instance, that Iraq "is not on the verge of fielding a nuclear weapon." Overall, though, the language was stark:
