The Mysterious Death of Osama bin Laden: Creating Evidence Where There Is None
by Paul Craig Roberts
The New Yorker
has published a story planted on Nicholas Schmidle by unidentified sources who claim to be familiar with the alleged operation that murdered Osama bin Laden.
There is no useful information in the story. Its purpose seems simply to explain away or cover up holes in the original story, principally why did the Seals murder an unarmed, unresisting Osama bin Laden whose capture would have resulted in a goldmine of terrorist information and whose show trial would have rescued the government's crumbling 9/11 story?
The gullible Schmidle tells us: "'There was never any question of detaining or capturing him--it wasn't a split-second decision. No one wanted detainees,' the special-operations officer told me." In other words, the SEALs murdered bin Laden, because the US government did not want detainees, not because trigger-happy stupid SEALs destroyed a font of terrorist information.
Why did the SEALS dump bin Laden's body in the ocean instead of producing the evidence to a skeptical world?
No real explanation, just that SEALS had done the same thing to other victims. Schmidle writes: "All along, the SEALs had planned to dump bin Laden's corpse into the sea--a blunt way of ending the bin Laden myth." But before they did so, the US checked with an unidentified Saudi intelligence operative, who allegedly replied, "Your plan sounds like a good one."
I mean, really.
After all of Sy Hersh's New Yorker revelations of US government lies and plots, one can understand the pressure that might have been applied to the New Yorker to publish this fairy tale. But what is extraordinary is that there was a real story that Schmidle and the New Yorker could have investigated.
In the immediate aftermath of bin Laden's alleged murder by the SEALs, Pakistani TV interviewed the next door neighbor to bin Laden's alleged compound. Someone supplied the video with an English translation running at the bottom of the video. According to the translation, the next door neighbor, Mr. Bashir, said that he watched the entire operation from the roof of his house. There were 3 helicopters. Only 1 landed. About a dozen men got out and entered the house. They shortly returned and boarded the helicopter. When the helicopter lifted off it exploded, killing all aboard. Mr. Bashir reports seeing bodies and pieces of bodies all over.
The US government acknowledges that it lost a helicopter, but claims no one was hurt. Obviously, as there were no further landings, if everyone was killed as Mr. Bashir reports, there was no body to be dumped into the ocean.
A real investigation would begin with Mr. Bashir's interview. Was he actually saying what the English translation reported? I have not been able to find the interview with the English translation, but I believe this is the interview that I saw.
Surely there is a qualified interpreter who can tell us what Mr. Bashir is saying. If the English translation that I saw is not a hoax, then we are presented with a story totally different from the one the government told us and repeated again through Mr. Schmidle.
If the English translation of Mr. Bashir's interview is correct, one would think that there would be some interest on the part of US news organizations and on the part of the intelligence committees in Congress to question Mr. Bashir and his neighbors, many of whom are also
interviewed on Pakistani TV
saying that they have lived in Abbottabad all their lives and are absolutely certain that Osama bin Laden was not among them.
Mr. Schmidle goes to lengths to describe the SEALs' weapons, although his story makes it clear that no weapons were needed as bin Laden is described as "unarmed" and undefended. The "startled" bin Laden didn't even hear the helicopters or all the SEALs coming up the stairs. In addition to all his fatal illnesses which most experts believe killed him a decade ago, bin Laden must have been deaf as neighbors report that the sound of the helicopters was "intense."
When Pakistanis on the scene in Abbottabad report a totally different story from the one that reaches us second and third hand from unidentified operatives speaking to reporters in the US who have never been to Abbottabad, shouldn't someone qualified look into the story?

The IPv6 elevator speech
IPv6: How the rest of the world lives
IPv6 in Canada
IPv6 in Japan
Population: 63,718,187Percent of population with Internet access: 54.7Percent of population with broadband access: 22.4Total IPv4 addresses/world share: 67,803,000/1.8 percentLead government agency: French Ministry of Research and New Technologieshttp://www.recherche.gouv.fr/Table Sources: InternetWorldStats.com (population and percent with Internet access are from various sources, percent with broadband is from International Telecommunication Union); BGExpert.com, IPv4 addresses, compiling daily from regional Internet registries.
With influence reminiscent of its position as the indispensable actor in the international affairs of the 18th, 19th, and early 20th centuries, has played a role that extends far beyond its borders. Its dominant service provider, France Telecom, has its hands in research and development consortia and government partnerships in other IPv6 hotspots, including , and .
The company also leads deployment efforts at home.
But despite such high-profile research efforts and government involvement, IPv6 observers say , although a standout among European countries, lags behind the Asian leaders in actual deployments — just like the rest of the world.
France's main push for IPv6 dates back to 1996 with formation of the G6, a not-for-profit industry association chartered to facilitate testing and experimentation, information exchange, and the building of new infrastructure. Six years later, after the European Commission identified deployment of IPv6 as a priority for the European Union and encouraged member countries to form task forces for the purpose, officials formed the IPv6 Task Force .
The national government's Ministry of Research and New Technologies supported the new task force, which promoted technical and financial information exchange among more than 200 members drawn from industry, academia and the public sector.
The EU-driven initiatives led to a pan-European research network called Euro6IX. Inside France, the next-generation Internet2-style VTHD, partially funded by the government and by the French Research Network for Telecom (RNRT), has an IPv6-enabled very-high-broadband backbone that runs on a couple of dozen France Telecom routers, connecting the campuses of RNRT members.
But so far, IPv6 does not appear to have made much headway in deployments geared to consumers.

The process of organizational and personal improvement can often be a daunting challenge, particularly for organizational and executive leaders. To address this process, the authors offer a cognitive learning strategy for any leader to consider as part of his or her personal development process based on the nexus of Elisabeth Kübler-Ross's stages of grief, Benjamin Bloom's cognitive taxonomy, and Richard Schuttler's executive mentoring model. In a time when formal and informal leaders are needed to set a great example, the industry of mentoring (and coaching) appears to have many people trying to help others, yet perhaps not all of them have the foundational underpinnings of knowledge needed to fully understand the emotional reactions or steps to learning.

My weekend in Paris November 13-16
... pretty path. By about eight or nine, I was ready to find the metro to go back because I was feeling sick. I went to bed early that night.
Today we had planned to get up early and go to the Louvre so that's what we did. Except there was a little problem in our plan. We woke up and were ready to go before eight. We got on the metro and were almost at the point where we had to switch lines and I couldn't make it. I started throwing ...

I rather enjoyed the walk as we followed the Seine river from Notredame back past the Luxembourg gardens (which were closed by then), passing "Love lock" bridge and Pont Neuf, the palace of Invalides and eventually sporting the Eiffel Tower we managed to find our way to a supermarket to get some fruit and water and get back to our hotel.

I am thinking some of the structures were bigger than our Ruth street flat. Was actually pretty cool. Saw a statue of me, I'll show you a photo. Had some form of Turkish kebab for lunch without actually telling the ...

There's back pain, and then there's back surgery, and then there's the ordeal Linden Gaydosh endured. Last August, the Carolina Panthers' defensive tackle underwent surgery for a herniated disc before he had a chance to make the team as a rookie. Doctors ordered him not to sit down after the operation. For a month. That meant no driving, no lounging on the couch, no chairs for eating meals. Gaydosh, who is 6-foot-3, 315 pounds, could only sit down in the bathroom. "I limited those trips as much as I could," Gaydosh said Tuesday by phone. "Until I was pretty much bursting." He had his meals standing up, and spent his training camp bus rides lying down in the aisle. "Watching TV was kind of an issue," he says. But physical discomfort isn't an insurmountable burden when you're from Peace River, Alberta, and one of the few people from your town ever to play football at the college level, let alone beyond that. The trial for Gaydosh wasn't when he got to a new country and a new s...

'Somewhere another man in another room
is holding your sock & can match it with nothing.'
Been home sick for the last few days (nothing serious) and mainlining British mysteries on Netflix. Have decided that, far more than the sky-high number of murders they encounter, what punctures my suspension of disbelief about Rosemary and Thyme is the way that everywhere they go, whether inn or school or private home, someone just happens to have a guest room with two twin beds!
Having hunted these for vacations with Mom of Mer, I can tell you they're thin on the ground these days. Or is it more common in England? If so, I know where we're going on our next vacation!
It's the holiday season. I prefer that my boss give me:
If I chose other, I would want them to give me:
If my boss gave me a holiday gift, I would feel obligated to reciprocate
If my boss gave me a holiday gift and others in the office did not receive one from theirs, that would be
If my boss gave me a holiday gift, I would prefer to receive it
Binge watching my way through Dollhouse, really missing having a synchronous community of fen to talk it over with, even though I totally did this to myself.Disjointed observations follow, on the off chance that anyone still cares: (spoilers through season 2, middle of episode 6)Edited to add: spoilers for the reason of season 2 in the comments.
Not having all the feminist feels that I dimly remember thinking/hearing I would when it was airing.OTOH, surprised that more (like, anything) is not made of them "killing" the imprinted personality every time Topher does a wipe. Everyone's concerned about the originals (and rightly so) but they're the ones who consented. The imprinted personalities consented to nothing... that I know of, unclear where they get these templates. Especially after the Whiskey/Dr. Saunders "I don't want to die" scene made it very explicit that imprints who know they can be wiped don't wanna.The emotional prostitution side of this is creepy as fuck but makes perfect sense, people who want someone to really feel it, not just act. But for the purely skills-based assignments, It stretches belief that people would prefer to hire actives for all these things rather than hire regular experts. Once in a while, sure, there'll be someone who can't GET an expert but when you can, which is most of the time, the ability to have them forget is surely balanced by the risk of having the Dollhouse know.Speaking of which, how much DOES the dollhouse know about each assignment, and how much granular control Topher has over the build, seem to vary with the speed of the plot.
Paul Ballard is the worst FBI agent in the world. Ruin my suspension of disbelief bad. I don't necessarily expect, or even want, CSI/NCIS levels of super high tech hat-rabbiting, but I can't believe the FBI in the real world could employ people who can't cope with anticipating the possibility of bugs, not getting followed home by suspects, or buying a decent lock. I feel surprisingly sympathetic with the guy-who-played-Crowley-on-Firefly agent's lack of patience with Ballard. I kinda want to slap him upside the head myself. His only real skill is making the puppydog face at the woman who is actually competent. At least the NSA guy knows what he's doing, though it's unclear if his hate on for Echo was NSA or Dollhouse related.Speaking of Firefly, the two white people fighting in an Asian restaurant that is inexplicably empty of actual Asian people scene was weirdly deja vu. :)OTOH I am liking their portrayal of BDSM, and there's even a surprisingly large number of larger women (at least by American TV standards) who are not being played for laughs or pathos.What is the point of the Attic? If Actives become unusable, why not just give them back themselves and let them go, instead of paying to keep them in storage for the rest of the five years? Or if you really have no intention of letting them go, why go on and on about how what you're doing is not so bad because they're volunteers and you're giving them back? The ethics, too -- how unscrupulous either this particular Dollhouse or Rossem in general is, and what various people believe about it, also seems to move at the speed of the plot from episode to episode.As done the resting intellect of the actives (Echo excepted) and how much they understand, though in a narrower range. They all talk way too much in front of the actives -- they don't get their resting state memories wiped regularly that I can tell.How come it is okay for Victor and Sierra to be all snuggly now when before it was a terrible thing?Doesn't Dr. Saunders have a GPS strip, since she's an active? Or did she take it out? Shouldn't they at least discuss tracking her?Everybody talking about how amoral Topher is reminds me of everybody talking about how dark and selfish Mal was. In neither case are they actually showing it. We actually see a LOT of Topher having ethics and morals and not wanting to be seen as a bad person, trying to help people and not to hurt them. Most of the him being uncaring stuff is told, not shown.Which contributes to him being more adorable than he really should be. Him squeeing over Bennett with clone-him is super adorable. Though I think it;s weird that clone him doesn't mind knowing he's going to be wiped soon. Him being all needy and clingy in the dystopian future was also adorable. Also him playing laser tag with Sierra. Though I was relieved to see, in the scene with Whiskey, that he does have sexual feelings. He's so twee they almost play him pre-pubescent sometimes.I enjoyed the dystopian future episode in and of itself but I find it disquieting how they just dropped it into continuity and then pick back up at an interim point and never explain it. Or what Alpha did to Echo and how it changed her. I get that it's probably going to be a big reveal, but IMO it's going on too long and detaching me from the Echo storyline. I find myself mostly in it for the Dr. Saunders character nowadays, which is funny when you think about how much I disliked Fred on Angel. I guess it really is the character and not the actor.
A fanficlet based on Pamela Dean's Tam Lin, inspired by this quote from suricattus: The thing about Tam Lin that always fascinated me was the "stand-fast" aspect. And I wanted to explore that outside the relatively narrow grounds of True Love—what does it mean to stand fast for someone you might not always love, who might not be your True Love, or your Love at all?
A totally unscientific survey about library use, because I'm curious. I have the sense that a lot of people support the idea of the library a lot more than we actually use it... but maybe that's just me.
Okay, that actually got halfway decent for a bit in the middle there. And then it overshot its ending worse than A.I., which is a thing I frankly did not think was possible until now. Except where A.I. had three endings in a row, Number-of-the-I-can't-believe-you-got-paid-for-this doesn't really have any. It has an extra middle instead, and ends on the beginning of something else altogether....
My god I forgot how Heinlein gets up my nose. I have a first date with someone who loves Number of the Beast so I said I would read it... 200 pages in I'm wondering if I should cancel the date.( technically i guess these are spoilers, though they don"t really address plot, such as it isCollapse )I sort of wish someone would do to Heinlein what papersky did to Trollope in Tooth & Claw... take his crazy-ass prescriptivism and turn it into literal biological fact. Maybe that would take the sting out of it... or maybe it would make it worse, but at least it would only be playing havoc with my emotions, not my suspension of disbelief.
In which Nathan Fillon and Adam Baldwin of Firefly make with the RPS for a good cause at ComicCon
I really wanted to love The Magicians, because I saw Lev Grossman speak at the Center for Fiction and I thought he was way cool. Plus it came highly recommended. Unfortunately my basic take on it was, Harry Potter as written by Jonathan Franzen.
On the other hand, I adored Patricia Wrede's The Thirteenth Child and highly recommend it.
I also read the Hunger Games books. I really liked them.
I found Katniss' explanation of her prep team – the idea that people from the capital have no empathy or moral horror because they are so sheltered -- kind of unrealistic too. After all they must still suffer and die from other things. I know studies have shown that rich people have less empathy, but less is not none, and while the people in the capital are certainly rich compared to District 12 they are not the kind of super-rich that can control everything about their own existence and be surrounded by syncophants. Then again, that's Katniss' perspective, not necessarily the truth, and Cinna suggests things are more complicated.
I liked the last book slightly less than the other two – Katniss is more reactive and less active in it, and while it makes sense, it is less satisfying. And I found her comment about her being a child that no one cared about hurting did not ring true – she's 17, and while that's a child in the sense that she's still eligible for the Hunger Games and not allowed to go down into the mines, it really doesn't strike me that Katniss has seen herself as a child in a long time, nor has she functioned as one in the eyes of others. Nor do the people of District 13, who she is talking about, consider 17 year olds children in general, since they've already joined the army. It seemed like an interjection from planet 21st Century North America.

Shepherds pie:
Preheat the oven to 180°C/gas 4.
Heat the oil in a large pan until hot. Season the mince and fry in the oil over moderate to high heat for 2-3 minutes. Stir the onions and carrot into the mince then grate the garlic in as well. Add the Worcestershire sauce, tomato puree and herbs and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Pour in the red wine and reduce until almost completely evaporated. Add the chicken stock, bring to the boil and simmer until the sauce has thickened.
Meanwhile, cook the potatoes in boiling salted water until tender. Drain then return to the hot pan over low heat to dry out briefly. Pass them through a potato ricer then beat in the egg yolks, followed by about 2 tbsp grated Parmesan. Check for seasoning.
Spoon the mince into the bottom of a large ovenproof dish. Using a large spoon, layer the mashed potato generously on top of the mince, starting from the outside and working your way into the middle. Grate some extra Parmesan over and season. Fluff up the mash potato with a fork to make rough peaks. Bake in the oven for approximately 20 minutes, until bubbling and golden brown.
Pan-roasted carrots:
For the carrots bring a pan of water to the boil with the rosemary, thyme and garlic. Boil the carrots in the water for 3 minutes to soften slightly, then drain and pat dry. Heat the oil in a large non-stick sauté pan then add the carrots and some seasoning. Brown the carrots all over until just tender, adding the butter towards the end of cooking.

Royal IntrusionsYear 760 of the New Age, FallRoyal Intrusions by nightxfel
Featuring Svetlikin and Aarushi
Glenwood, Glenmore
The hefty doe had been busily at work all morning. Her forelegs were slathered in muck and grime, covering some of her scarring, while her nose and cheeks were smudged with the dust and pollen of the plants she had been attending to. Although fall had come, and with it the leaves had fallen, Aarushi felt more at peace with her plants than worrying about the trials of rut and royals. Carefully touching her nose to the spearmint plant, knowing many does would be seeking it this season- plus she enjoyed chewing on the leaves every so often herself. The silvery down that covered the leaves tickled at her nose, bringing a small smile to her face at the health of her little herb garden.
Plucking a little leaf to chew on, encouraging clarity of her mind in this time filled with idiotic demands. Lifting her muzzle towards the sky, and looking up at the cloud streaked expanse of blue visible
Between Heartbeats and RaindropsFeaturing Lineera & BerserkirBetween Heartbeats and Raindrops by Howl-n-Hart
Spring, Y760 NA
Location: Somewhere deep in the caves of Oakfern
As she lay in the cold dark of the caves, Lineera was calm and still. She had no reason to be distressed, no reason to panic or fear or worry; he was here. She lay curled about him, his little dun body soft and warm, and she felt his heartbeat with her magic and she told herself she was calm.
The dripping of water from stalactites and the shuffling noises of burrowing owls were nothing to leap at; the soft clicking of shamans' hooves on the stony floor was not the approach of Oathbreakers and the soft flush of a pale blue light against the wall was not her little love, not her La'Neiya returning…
The pale shaman turned her great green eyes bac
As he looked out across the hollow - Gumtree Hollow, how strange to be standing here! - he saw fawns scampering untended and old Stormbringers listening for voice of the wind. He saw fillies sparring together, practicing to become as great as the old General Etain and new recruits wincing as the older soldiers cropped away their manes with rough obsidian blades. He saw Illyrica, shy with strangers, playing exuberantly with her young friends, and he saw her mother standing watching, a smile on her face... but anxiety was still written on Roxanne's body, and the flickering light in her eyes was ever touched with fear.
How he now regretted his obeisance to the wind; how he wished he could take Roxanne and Illyrica away from this, protect them in some secluded place and grow a family with them, the family he had never known he had wanted until he had seen mother and daughter reunited. He wanted that joy for both of them every day and he knew he could not give it to them; not here. Not the way that he had become.
Roxanne had given herself to him out of duty, he knew. He had asked the Cape does to grant them the boon of children, and she had given herself. She did not love him; just as the fickle lost love of his youth had not loved him. He had promised both so much and given so little; he could not protect Roxanne's daughter, that most precious to her, just as he could not win the fight for the golden doe. Back then, when he was a mere child, the wind had hounded him from his herd and chased him towards a fate: this fate, this power, this great heartsick yearning for that which was not his.
The wind could not chase him now. He had sworn to its terms, but it had sworn to his: it could not refuse his command. And yet, and yet… there was no subtlety to the response it gave. If he wished to be heard his voice was a roaring gale; if he summoned a cooling breeze he was given a raw, bone-chilling wind. There were to be no soothing zephyrs easing his pains; there was only the storm.
He was to lead these people now: the fawns, the Stormbringers, the fillies, the recruits; all eyes looked to his stormclad form. The power the storm had granted him - no, the power the storm had won from him - was all they saw and the power that he desired, the power to make her love him, the power to bring her blossoms on the breeze… that was as nothing to each and every one of them who played and loved and were happy together.
Everything had changed, and at once, nothing changed at all.

Officials Say Two Cook County Deaths May Be Cold-RelatedCHICAGO (AP) - The Cook County Medical Examiner's Office is trying to determine whether the extreme cold was to blame for the deaths of two people whose bodies were found outside their homes. Spokeswoman Mary Paleologos says a 66-year-old woman was found outside her Chicago home on Tuesday morning by a visiting caregiver. She says the woman had a disability from a previous stroke.
On Tuesday afternoon, a postal worker discovered the frozen body of a 72-year-old Oak Park man on his front porch. Officials say the victim had a history of heart disease. He was fully clothed and wearing a jacket. Paleologos says autopsies will determine an official cause of death. Cold was blamed for the death of a 70-year-old Des Plaines man found Sunday inside his unheated mobile home.

A true Chef's kitchen
I'm a fan of Kenji Lopez-Alt, a big fan. He started out as chef with America's Test Kitchen, then moved to position as Head Genius at Serious Eats. He's the one behind the Food Lab tests, from the Perfect Prime Rib to Chocolate Chip Cookies, step by step, demonstrating his MIT training.
So he posted pictures of his home food lab, where most of the magic originates.
Let this be a lesson to us all who have lusted after major appliances and acres of space. This is a TRUE chef's kitchen!
Here is a link that might be useful: Kenji's home Food Lab
Thanks for posting - very charming "real" kitchen where *cooking* happens. I have a small kitchen and I am happy with that. My reno will give me more counterspace and light which will be much appreciated. I do all scratch meals and want my children to start joining me in the kitchen.
Thanks for sharing. If Kenji doesn't need a spice drawer then neither do I.
Have you seen the other kitchens? Lots of oak cabinets, 4 burner ranges, cramped counters, messy cabinets, relatively small top freezer fridges....
Here is a link that might be useful: kitchen tours
I read this earlier today and had a lot of the same thoughts. "Wow, he keeps stuff in plastic boxes to pull out and doesn't complain about not having drawers." "Wow, his prep area is essentially the size of a single cutting board." "Wow, he has to keep his dogfood and booze in the same tiny cabinet."
But I bet a lot of great food comes out of that kitchen! So I can safely stop obsessing about the minutae now? Yes!
I'll be honest, I was grossed out by this: "frozen cat I had in my freezer for a few months before we could find a suitable burial ground".
There are still a lot of gadgets in that kitchen -- they are just packed in and spilling over. I went through the slide show -- there are things like a tortilla press and more than one type of mandoline shown. (My tortilla press is the back of my skillet -- but to be honest, the only pressing involved is usually just me pressing closed the resealable bag of pre-made local tortillas. ).
Isn't it funny that home cooks want large spaces and lots of storage and pro chefs have everything so crammed, I don't know how they find anything.
I don't think I could work in any of those kitchens. I don't think I'm organized enough. I'd spend 10 minutes looking for each item I'd need for a meal.
I think what we're seeing here is less examples of chef's kitchens than apartment kitchens, mostly in NYC. Can a chef cook anywhere? Sure. Would that same person pick something a little more spacious, professional, and easier to organize if prices allowed?
I think the dog brush in the fridge grossed me out more than the cat...at least Fluffy's in a Baggie! And I don't think I'd eat anything that had been in that kind of freeZer for 2 years. But I did feel better about the organization of my fridge (better) and drawers (equal), and that my le creuset Dutch oven from Mom rests on a glass table around the corner with some nice, usable, pottery casseroles.
I loved it! So charming and such a detailed tour! My aunt (4'9" and shrinking) liked all the organizing around the needs of fun-sized people.
I was totally wondering how he managed it -- until I saw the rack of gadgets in the dining room. All was explained!
ctycdm: Some of the best meals I had came from the neighbor I had in our first house. A lower class neighborhood. Her kitchen was maybe 9x6 or 9x7, roughly the size of my new pantry. I don't know how she did it, but she hosted amazing parties almost every weekend it seemed. Her entire house was less than 1000 sq. ft. but still, she made amazing food and her guests were always happy.
I am blessed with the finances to afford an awesome kitchen and when I get caught up with all the minutiae of designing, I try to remember her and remember that it doesn't take a gourmet kitchen to produce gourmet food and it doesn't take a 5 star house to make your guests feel welcome.
linelle, I must ask what do you mean by your BD? I googled the acronym and found things I don't think you were referring to, LOL.
As for the kitchen I started to laugh. Breaks a lot of rules with the mw over the range. Non SS appliances. Not all drawers. It's a little to small for me as it would make me feel like I was locked in a closet but as long as it works for him.
I've been in many restaurant kitchens that are much smaller than my own. My kitchen is 9x11 and works like a really big place! When our restaurant friend came over for something I had baked for him, he looked at my kitchen in awe. He's from Italy and has cooked all his life. Wonderful chef!!! Anyway, he complimented me on my organizational skills. Room in the fridge dominated by BIG chunks of chocolate and fresh veggies. Freezer dominated by 5 different kinds of flour and frozen croissants from BJ's. Gotta live, right??

Painting a metal storm door
I find that I must paint my metal storm door. It is a Pella door, installed in May of this year. Any advice/caveats on how to proceed-short of hiring a painting contractor-would be appreciated!
Hi Marigo and welcome to GardenWeb. Do you plan to remove the door from its hinges or are you going to paint it in place?
Do you have a specific color in mind? Is there paint on it now that is peeling?
If you are going to do a basic color such as white, you could buy spray cans of oil-based enamel paint for metal (Rustoleum), prep the metal as indicated on the can, tape and cover what you don't wanted sprayed and go at it.
I painted my metal gutters with acrylic exterior house paint using a brush. But something tells me that you need paint that is more durable. I used an oil-based enamel paint on some metal flashing. I applied it with a brush and had some issues with even coverage.
Let's see what the pro painters here suggest.
Thanks to graywings and christopehrn for their responses to my question. To graywings: the door is new so there is no peeling paint to make life miserable. I just have to change the color-from "putty" to red.
I don't like spray paint-I never quite mastered it-so I will be using an acrylic paint and apply it with a sponge brush (to minimize brush strokes). Or I will hire a painter to do it for me!
We had to paint our metal garage door that had a powder coat on it and the folks at BM recommended we use STYX first as a primer...it seemed to adhere it really well.

Also, since it was the last night for track points, seven point champions would also be determined at the conclusion of the racing program.

With the court-martial of Lt. Col. Jordan now complete, the official apologists will be out busily explaining that Abu Ghraib is all over now—see, we even court-martialed an officer, and it went nowhere, the jury let him off. But as the New York Times, The Christian Science Monitor and a number of other publications have properly pointed out, the lesson to be drawn from the Jordan court-martial is different from what the Pentagon would have us understand—it's one of the most audacious cover-ups in military justice history.
In American literature, one writer, Herman Melville, was captivated with the subject of military justice. He wrote about it frequently. Billy Budd of course turns on a court-martial. But an earlier novel, White-Jacket is an extended tirade against the military justice system. In both novels, Melville makes a point which I consider—for all the advancements in military justice today compared to the Articles of War regime that Melville knew from his days at sea—still absolutely true. Military justice operates to reinforce command authority. It is, as it were, a command authority adjunct. Therefore we should never consider military justice to be about the ultimate, namely, justice. It may be about justice on the periphery, but concerns for justice fade when they clash with the authority of the administering command.
So we come to the ultimate tension of the military justice system: the closer the wrong-doing is to the command authority from which the military justice emanates, the more fundamentally unstable the system becomes, the more it flounders, and ultimately fails. That's the principle that Melville demonstrates very powerfully in the two novels I mentioned. And the court-martial of Lt. Col. Jordan demonstrates it once more.
The prosecutors held back in presenting and developing a full case because of blinders imposed on them—they were required to avoid the trail that led up the chain of command. But that trail was completely obvious.
If you have only five minutes in which to educate yourself about the Abu Ghraib scandal, here's how: watch this web interview with Gen. Janis Karpinski. She was one of two female general officers in Iraq shortly after the invasion, and she had responsibility for MP operations. And prisons? Well the U.S. plans called for limited POW operations. What in fact occurred was something radically different. In this interview you'll learn:
The prison system was supposed to have been operated by J. Paul Bremer's Coalition Provisional Authority with assistance from the U.S. Justice Department. The Justice Department's involvement in this whole project is a study in astonishing and far-ranging corruption—starting with DOJ contracts given to a team of prison officials from the U.S. who had all been fired for prisoner abuse, frequently including assaults and homicides. All of these figures had tight Republican Party connections which they parlayed into lucrative contracts to "build a prison system" in Iraq. What they created was not a prison system, but something different. How does Marlowe put it? "Hell hath no limits, nor is circumscrib'd/In one self place; but where we are is hell,/And where hell is, there must we ever be." Indeed.
Without informing Karpinski or her people, and on instructions that came from Dr. Stephen Cambone (the mastermind of the torture policies that emerged at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere), "security detainees" were sent to Abu Ghraib.
Karpinski was told by Colonel Marc Warren that these "security detainees" had "no rights." (In an act of truly inspirational command bravery, Warren later told investigators that he was "ill" or "away" when the key decisions were taken and was thus uninvolved. Rumsfeld subsequently tried to promote Warren to general in recognition of his services, a move which was blocked by two Republican senators on the Senate Armed Services Committee).
Major General Geoffrey Miller visited Abu Ghraib on orders directly from Rumsfeld and Cambone (facts about which Miller subsequently lied in testimony before Congress). The "security detainee" program was operated directly by Cambone.
Karpinski makes clear many times that the direction for all the nasty stuff done to the detainees was not coming from Gen. Ricardo Sanchez, his deputy, or anyone else on the ground in Iraq. It was coming straight from the Pentagon, and Donald Rumsfeld personally, and his sidekick Steve Cambone were the hardasses running the program and pushing it.
You might think, of course, that Karpinski is trying to clear herself. I'll just say that I've been studying this set of facts for more than three years now, have interviewed dozens of participants. Not only is Karpinski telling the truth, no varnish has been applied. Everything that Karpinski says in these interviews stacks up perfectly with what I have discovered.
Go watch the Karpinski interviews here.
