Erie 911 center employee gets ARD in impersonation case
An Erie County 911 center employee charged with impersonating a law enforcement official will retain his job and get the chance to emerge from the case with a clean criminal record.
Jeffrey S. Harmon, 34, was admitted Wednesday into the Accelerated Rehabilitative Disposition program, a special probationary program for first-time, nonviolent offenders.
Erie County Judge Stephanie Domitrovich, who presided over the hearing in Erie County Court, sentenced Harmon to serve 18 months of probation, pay court costs, and undergo a drug and alcohol evaluation at the request of the prosecution.
If Harmon successfully completes the probation, he could then apply to have his record expunged of the charges he faced -- impersonating a public servant, harassment and disorderly conduct.
In the meantime, Harmon, who had been suspended without pay from his job, has been allowed to return to work.
Erie County Executive Barry Grossman said Harmon was an "outstanding employee with a stellar record" and that his absence had harmed operations.
Erie police accused Harmon of telling people at a west Erie tavern on March 16 that he was a Pennsylvania State Police Liquor Control Enforcement officer. Police said Harmon also told someone he was a state trooper and told others he was in law enforcement.
Harmon's lawyer, David Ridge, and District Attorney Jack Daneri both said Wednesday that mitigating factors led to Harmon's admission into the ARD program. Daneri noted that alcohol played a role in Harmon's conduct.
"No one was harmed," Ridge said. "This was a fair resolution."

"Sing to me of the man, Muse, the man of twists and turns driven time and again off course, once he had plundered the hallowed heights of Troy."In Greek Mythology, there is a subset of spirits/goddesses under the guidance of Apollo known as muses. These entities exist to seek out creative people and inspire them to create great works of art. In a sense, this posits that all great works of art are linked to the divine and their creators are merely vessels for which divine forces can channel their energy. This concept is often invoked by many a real life creator by attributing a real life person special to them as their "personal muse". Usually occurs with a female muse for a male creator, but the inverse (or a combination thereof) is not too uncommon. If said woman is an actress, she'll be cast in the main female role in every one of the director's movies, at least until their relationship breaks down. Of course, art often mirrors life in this regard, and many fictional artists have muses of their own—sometimes, in fact, literal Muses from classical Greek mythology. The magazine Strange Horizons mentions among a List of stories we've seen too often "Creative person meets a muse (either one of the nine classical Muses or a more individual muse) and interacts with them, usually by keeping them captive." Neil Gaiman has commented in his online journal: "I have a fairly good memory, and don't recall ever reading any captive-muse-for-someone-with-writer's-block stories before I wrote mine." This would make Gaiman's story (detailed below) the Trope Codifier, at least for the supernatural version of the trope. Not incidentally, the same story provides a codifying example of Muse Abuse. Not to be confused with the British rock band Muse. Or Muse Abuse, though it often follows. See also Manic Pixie Dream Girl. For someone who functions as the opposite and is also the artist's love interest, see Love Makes You Uncreative.
Examples of real-life muses:
- Surrealist artist Salvador Dalí obsessed over his wife, Gala, putting her either abstractly or more recognizably into nearly all of his paintings.
- Beatrice to Dante. Even after her death and he was married to someone else, he still wrote about her.
- Laura to Petrarch.
- Alma Mahler, to more than one man, most notably Gustav Mahler, Walter Gropius, and Franz Werfel. And one she never met.
- Norwegian poet Henrik Wergeland combined four women in one muse. All four were girls he had pined for in his late teens and early twenties. The name of the muse was Stella. See all love is unrequited.
- Marlene Dietrich to Joseph Von Sternberg
- Edie Sedgwick to Andy Warhol
- David Fincher to Brad Pitt, and vice versa.
- June Miller to Henry Miller and Anais Nin
- Eminem's ex-wife Kim Mathers was certainly a muse, but since he wrote about killing her she probably wished she wasn't.
- Anita Pallenberg inspired The Rolling Stones songs Wild Horses and You Got Silver, and Angie is rumored to be about her though others say it was about Angela Bowie.
- Marianne Faithful and Marsha Hunt were also Stones muses
- Several of Bryan Ferry's songs both with Roxy Music and as a solo artist were about Jerry Hall, including at least one about her leaving him for Mick Jagger.
- Nick Cave sought much creativity from Anita Lane during his tenure in The Birthday Party and throughout The Bad Seeds.
- Rosanna Arquette inspired the Rosanna by Toto and In Your Eyes by Peter Gabriel
- Bob Dylan had several muses, including Edie Sedgwick who he wrote "Like A Rolling Stone" and "Just Like A Woman" about, Joan Baez, Suze Rotcho and Sara Lowndes who he wrote two albums about (including the incredibly heartfelt and desperate song "Sara", from Desire).
- It should be noted that "Like A Rolling Stone" has been discussed to no end, and to this day there are many likely candidates as to who inspired Dylan to write it.
- Considering the brutal Take That which these and "Positively 4th Street" are, some of them also probably would rather not to have been Dylan's muse.
- In her tune, Baez wrote "Diamonds and Rust" about Dylan. She describes him is a bit of a jerk though...
- Roy Orbison's wife Claudette inspired the songs Claudette and Pretty Woman
- The Suede song Animal Lover and the Blur album 13 were both inspired by Justine Frischman.
- Pattie Boyd was a muse to George Harrison and Eric Clapton.
- She was a muse for Clapton while she was still married to his good friend Harrison. (''Layla'')
- Woody Allen has had a few, especially Diane Keaton, Mia Farrow and Scarlett Johansson.
- Gong Li to Zhang Yimou.
- Maggie Cheung to Olivier Assayas.
- Fanny Brawne to John Keats.
- Pedro Almodóvar has Carmen Maura and Penélope Cruz (putting them together for arguably his best film, Volver), but there is no romantic involvement whatsoever, seeing as he's gay.
- Frances McDormand to (her husband) Joel Coen
- Gender Flip: Tom LeFroy to Jane Austen. He was partially the inspiration for Mr. Darcy.
- Quentin Tarantino refers to Uma Thurman as his muse, but their relationship is "strictly platonic."
- Maybe these days, but no, not strictly.
- Joey Lauren Adams to Kevin Smith.
- Sarah Brightman to Andrew Lloyd Webber
- Tim Burton and Lisa Marie...and Helena Bonham-Carter. And Johnny Depp. And Vincent Price.
- Peter Pears to Benjamin Britten.
- Roland Orzabal and Curt Smith of Tears for Fears. Roland, discussing how he and Curt work together to write music, referred to Curt as his. "He's always been my muse."
- Alfred Hitchcock considered Grace Kelly to be his muse.
- Milla Jovovich to Luc Besson until they divorced. Now she is Paul W.S. Anderson's muse in the Resident Evil series.
- The lead singer for The Knack, Doug Fieger, fell for a then-17-year-old Sharona Alperin and wrote the band's biggest and only hit "My Sharona" in her honor. She even graced the single's cover shot.
Invocations to Muses
- Homer invokes the Muse (probably Calliope) at the start of both The Iliad and The Odyssey.
- Virgil invokes a muse both at the beginning and middle of The Aeneid.
- Dante doesn't invoke the muses until the second part of The Divine Comedy, but at the beginning of Paradiso, the third part, he invokes all nine plus Apollo himself.
- John Milton asks for Urania, Muse of astronomy (and thus, knowledge of God's creation) to inspire him at the beginning of Paradise Lost.
- Alexander Pope refers now and then to a muse in The Rape of the Lock, which was based on the tussle over the haircut of his friend Arabella Fermor.
- Dan Simmons's Ilium opens with an invocation to the Muse by the narrator, since it's based partially on the Iliad. The invocation starts out by mirroring the opening of the Iliad, but degenerates into a vicious rant against the Muse, who is an actual character in the story and something of a bitch.
- This, after Colin Meloy's over-educated literary fashion, was used at the beginning of The Decemberists' "The Perfect Crime No. 2," as follows:
Sing, muse, of the passion of the pistol
Sing, muse, of the warning by the whistle...
Examples of muses to fictional artists:
- In E. T. A. Hoffmann's story "The Jesuits' Church in G—-", an artist catches a glimpse of a beautiful woman, which he believes to be a vision, and is inspired to paint a luminously spiritual picture of the Virgin Mary, his masterpiece. Unfortunately, before the painting is finished, he discovers the woman again, by chance saving her life, and marries her. Although he thinks she'll be a living muse, her earthly reality destroys his religious exaltation, and he's unable to continue the painting. He drives her away with their newborn child, and at first it seems that he'll now be able to paint again, but the guilt from his cruelty drives him mad.
- Subverted (after a fashion) in The Picture of Dorian Gray: Dorian himself is the muse for the painter Basil Hallward, which at once turns the concept of a muse on its head (he's a man!) and doesn't (Basil is gay, and Dorian is beautiful and ravenously bi).
- In Hermann Hesse's Demian, the main character, Sinclair, finds his muse in a woman passing by. He overcomes his alcohol addiction and miserliness and started to paint, even when he doesn't know her name; he simply dubbed her "Beatrice". In a suitably Mind Screw-y fashion, when the painting is finished, it actually resembled...the face of the titular character, who incidentally has been described as the perfect union between masculinity and femininity.
- In The Sandman, an aspiring writer captures one of the bona fide, Classical Mythology Muses. He imprisons her, and while raping her, is gifted with fantastic inspiration, and he soon becomes a renowned, and extremely wealthy, writer. Unfortunately for him, this particular muse is the former lover of The Dreamlord, Morpheus, and when she calls to him for help, he sympathizes with her plight. Needless to say, the author is soon 'convinced' to release his captive... and the Dreamlord takes appropriate revenge.
- Shakespeare in Love, wherein the playwright's titular romance allows him to iron out the wrinkles in his play-in-progress (working title: Romeo and Ethel, the Pirate's Daughter).
- Christine to the Phantom in The Phantom of the Opera.
- There's a literal muse in Dogma, a magical stripper played by Salma Hayek.
- And she will not be happy if you try to credit her with Home Alone.

Warhammer being a Crapsack World, it doesn't work out so well, and she leaves him. Kim Newman being ultimately a rather romantic sort, she comes back in a more recent story, and they get a remarkably happy ending to a story featuring murder, mayhem, political chicanery, and ventriloquism.
- Does not happen with the sculptor in Jak and Daxter - while he does have a muse that apparently inspires him, instead of being a beautiful girl, it's a Pokémon. An adorable Pokemon.

- French classical composer Hector Berlioz was hopelessly, obsessively, in love with Harriet Smithson, a beautiful Irish Shakespearian actress working in French theatre. He wrote the Symphonie Fantastique to get his feelings for her out of his system. The symphony can be described as five powerful movements of pure stalking, the early nineteenth century's precursor to Every Breath You Take. There is a melancholy Autumn day ending in torrential rain and with a thunderstorm approaching; a stately waltz that begins in a restrained way, but which runs faster and faster and gets out of control; a trial and a death sentence; the March to the Scaffold; and finally the wild and darkly gleeful dance of Death. Two years later, Berlioz wrote Lelio,the Contested Sequel to the Symphonie Fantastique, about how he managed to overcome his gloom and subsequently regain his inspiration. And how did Mrs. Smithson react to all this? She married him. It wasn't a very happy marriage, though.

- In the novel Unseen Academicals, Glenda inspired Mr Nutt to write a love poem (which he then gives to his friend Trev to give to Glenda's friend Juliet).

- In Soul Music it's suggested by the Band a couple of times that Susan might be Buddy's Muse. Since his music is coming from Somewhere Else, and she's trying to stop it, she really isn't.
- In the Doctor Who Meta Fic setting This Time Round, most of the Author Avatar characters have a Muse; a supernatural being trained at the Muse Academy who basically acts as a sort of advisor.
- At the core of Californication is the dysfunctional relationship between Hank Moody, a writer and barely-functional sex addict and alcoholic, and Karen, the muse behind most of his creative output and the mother of his child. He genuinely loves Karen, but the show is a tragic case of Failure Is the Only Option because he's too self destructive to make things work and he needs the On Again Off Again nature of their relationship to truly be creative.
- The second and sixth seasons explore the idea further through the characters of Lew Ashby and Atticus Fetch, rock stars who have similarly troubled relationships with their muses, and Faith, who is something of a professional muse.
Atticus: The woman that you love is out there, and you know you can't have her. How do you even get up in the morning?
Hank: The booze is always helpful... and so is the art. Everything I write is either for her or about her. So I'm with her, even when I'm not, in my writing.

- Nero: In De Ring van Petatje Nero starts writing poetry in an insane asylum and is visited by a literal muse with wings and a toga. Though she is a subversion of this trope: an obese bespectacled woman, with nevertheless a good heart.
- Worst Muse is one that is always giving bad advice.
"It's not racist! It's EDGY!""TWIST: What if the robots overcame their programming and TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE HUMANS?""If it's based on a true story, you don't need to worry about whether it's believable."
- In Cheer!, the artist Tselsebar's Author Avatar is frequently beset by an Anti-Muse, who hits him with a hammer and prevents him from getting the ideas to make new comics. He later does get an actual muse which, despite the Anti-Muse complaining that her job was too easy earlier, has her calling the muse a "hussy" and demanding "her" Tselsebar back.

CHICAGO — Deciding which medicine to give a child in pain just got easier: The first head-to-head study of three common painkillers found that ibuprofen works best, at least for kids with broken bones, bruises and sprains.
Available generically and under the brand names Advil and Motrin, ibuprofen beat generic acetaminophen and codeine in an emergency-room study of 300 children treated at a Canadian hospital.
The youngsters, ages 6 to 17, were randomly assigned to receive standard doses of one of the three medicines. They then periodically rated their pain. Half an hour later, ratings were similar in the three groups. But starting an hour after taking the medicine, children who got ibuprofen reported substantially greater pain relief than the other two groups.
Children rated their pain on a 100-point scale before and after taking the medicine. At 60 minutes afterward, scores for children who got ibuprofen had dropped 24 points, compared with 12 points for the acetaminophen group and 11 points for the codeine group. The differences remained at 120 minutes.

Also at 60 minutes, about half the ibuprofen children reported what doctors considered "adequate" pain relief, or scores below 30, compared with 40 percent of the codeine children and 36 percent of the acetaminophen group. There were no major side effects.
The study was done at Children's Hospital of Eastern Ontario in Ottawa, and a research institute at the hospital funded the study. Results appear in the March edition of Pediatrics, being released today.
For parents, choosing a painkiller for kids can be confusing, partly because acetaminophen, sold as Tylenol, and ibuprofen both work against fevers. Codeine does not, and it's a mild narcotic available only by prescription.
The study should ease that dilemma, said lead author Dr. Eric Clark of the University of Ottawa.
Studies comparing ibuprofen with acetaminophen for pain relief have had conflicting results, but Clark said his is the first to compare all three drugs.
Doctors in hospitals often prefer using ibuprofen for children with broken bones because they seem to do better on it, and the study validates that practice, said Dr. Steven Krug, head of emergency medicine at Chicago's Children's Memorial Hospital.
Ibuprofen may work better for pain from trauma because it targets inflammation, while acetaminophen and codeine do not, Krug said.

With Roxanne from the Matsing Tribe gone, Tandang Tribe: Michael "Skupin", Abi-Maria, Artis, RC, Lisa and Peter, Kalabaw Tribe: Jonathan, Dana, Dawson, Carter, Katie and Jeff and Matsing Tribe: Russell, Angie, Denise and Malcolm are left to battle it out as sole survivor. On Night 6, the Matsing get into camp and Angie is upset that Roxanne threw her and Malcolm under the bus. Russell says that Malcolm and Angie are a threat and if Denise goes with the young ones, then he is going to get kicked out of there.
Day 7
The new day arrives and on the Tandang Tribe, the Abi-Maria is tired and RC says that they need to get the Idol. Abi-Maria says that she needs to rest her knee and RC tries to tell her that she is not a liability. RC says that she needs to stop fighting with her. RC talks to "Skupin" and tells him that she is losing it. Abi-Maria tells Peter the clue and he says that he agrees with Abi-Maria, but really it is just so that he can give the information to everyone. Peter goes up to Lisa and tells her that they should get rid of "Skupin". She says that she would have liked to blindside RC, but goes with his plan. On the Kalabaw Tribe, Jonathan plays it off that he doesn't have the Idol and Jeff says that he still is going to vote for him even if he has it.
At the Matsing Tribe, the survivors realize that their raft has drifted into the ocean. Malcolm talks to Denise and says that there was no cuddling tonight. Denise says that they have a stronger player with Russell. At the Immunity Challenge, the tribes are told that they are going to have to dive down to release puzzle wheels and then will have to solve the puzzle. The first tribe gets a fishing kit. The second gets a smaller kit. The challenge begins and Kalabaw gets their pieces first followed by Tandang. Matsing gets theirs too. All work on the puzzle and it is Kalabaw and Tandang finishes second.
Kalabaw Tribe gets back to camp to find a canoe. They are happy that they have the chance to fish and get some real food. Jonathan goes up to Jeff and tells him that he has the Idol. Jeff tells him that they can be friends in this until it benefits one of them. They shake on it, but Jeff has other motives. The Tandang Tribe get back and laugh at Skupin's cut and Artis has "Skupin" in his sights. Abi-Maria talks to Peter and tells him that they have to find the Idol before RC does. Peter and her look and eventually, Abi-Maria finds it. Peter feels that his alliance with Abi-Maria, Lisa and Artis will be enough to take out "Skupin" and RC.
The Matsing Tribe get back to camp upset about losing yet another challenge. Malcolm feels that he is in the goon-squad of the tribes and feels that Denise is the only worthy player. They say that they are going to have to do something that will change the game. Angie comes over and tells them that she never said that she could do the challenge and says that it seems that Russell didn't try hard enough. Denise says that she is torn because Russell looks strong, but he faultered at the challenge. Russell walks alone and says that his weakness showed today and prays. He tells himself that the Will of God will determine his position in the game. He feels that this time was going to be different because last time he almost died. He wants to give it his all and is not out of this game.
Day 8
Russell gets working around the camp and Angie says that she would have went, but she would have been slow. Malcolm says that this is a toss-up and he needs to keep himself neutral. Angie says that she feels bad and Malcolm says that Russell gave up. They talk more as a tribe and Russell says that at the end of the day, he is going to rely on those who are loyal to him.
Tribal Council Time and the Matsing Tribe get in. Jeff says that they will down to 3 after this, but that will be alright. Denise says that she is happy to be there and will fight. Malcolm says that he was between tears and screaming and says that it is heartbreaking to go to Tribal all the time. Angie says that she is concerned that she is leaving and says that she knew that she couldn't do it. Russell says that he has the life experience and than belittles Angie. They vote and afterward, the votes are tallied. The votes are read and it is Russell with 1 vote and Angie with 2 votes. The 3rd person voted out of Survivor is Angie.

So far it has caused minimal disruption to cruise itineraries. Tomas, the 12th hurricane of the busy Atlantic season, formed southeast of Barbados on Friday and is forecast to become a major hurricane by the end of the week.
According to the National Hurricane Center's 11 p.m. EDT update, Tomas is located about 65 miles west-northwest of St. Lucia. The storm is moving toward the west-northwest at 9 mph.
Tomas, with tropical force winds extending out to 175 miles, has reportedly caused downed power lines and damage to homes on Barbados, St. Vincent and St. Lucia. Reports from island correspondents on StormCarib, a Web site that relays storm information, indicate significant damage, including missing roofs, unmoored boats and blocked roads.
Cruise Ship Itinerary Changes
Carnival Miracle, which was scheduled to dock in St. Lucia on Saturday and St. Kitts on Sunday, instead is spending the weekend at sea. To compensate, it will stop in Grand Turk on Monday and Nassau on Tuesday.
We'll keep you posted on any other changes.
Weather Outlook: Possible Affected Ships & Ports
Tropical storm warnings continue for St. Vincent, Martinique, Dominica and St. Lucia, which means that tropical storm conditions are ongoing.
Tomas is expected to be well west of the Windwards by Sunday afternoon.

One of the good things about having PSUs is that, like it or not, they do what the government directs them toin any case, in all corporates, the majority shareholders drive the agenda. So, when the fiscal deficit is under stress, the government just directs the oil PSUs to pay for a larger share of the oil subsidies and, voila, the deficit begins to look better. If it doesnt have the money to pay for grain purchases for the PDS, it just tells FCI to wait a bit, and wait it does. Which is why it comes as a surprise that the same rules dont apply to Coal India Limited (CIL).
Last year, when the coal shortage got really bad, the PMO was keen CIL supply more legally binding fuel supply agreements (FSAs) with power producers. Since CIL wasnt convinced, a Presidential Directive had to be issued to itthis is sort of a brahmastra, used in very serious situations. CIL still didnt quite fully comply, but a compromise was reached to sign 60,000 MW worth of FSAs. When the PMO wanted CIL to hike this to 78,000 MW, for some reason the usual levers of control over PSUs continue to remain ineffective. So another Presidential Directive has had to be issued. Hopefully CILs independent directors who are quick to take umbrage at such directives realise how special they are.

Every good cause is worth some inefficiency.
—PAUL SAMUELSON (Lohr 2004)
Is economic individualism sweeping the world? In the words of economist Robert Kuttner (1997), is "everything for sale"? Do we serve "one market under God," with market populism being "the New American consensus" (Frank 2004, xv)? Or perhaps public policies and public management are proceeding more as less as usual, the cyclical shifts in public and economic forces occurring well with normal range? One might well argue that in the United States not much of consequence has changed. There is still a "social safety net," albeit one that seems to be shrinking, and the New Deal compact forged by Roosevelt is still in place, if a bit shaken.
This book cannot provide a good answer to the "have things really changed" question, and, fortunately, its justification does not depend on any particular answer to that question. Policy and public management history is always about the ebb and flow of political and economic forces and the values they represent. Ideas pertaining to those values have perennial importance. This chapter emphasizes policies and government reforms arising from the shifts to market-based policies and governance, but less because of an inexorable march toward market-based policies than because there will always be market (and political) forces in democratically conceived governance.
Note the book's subtitle: "Counterbalancing Economic Individualism." This subtitle does not imply that policy-theories-based assumptions of economics or economic individualism are harmful, wrong, or of little practical use. Indeed, economics-based policy theories and ideas often contribute enormously

The Foundation Is Laid
Although West Point today is known to almost every American, such has not always been true. Nearly two hundred years ago, a group of farsighted men struggled to establish a military academy. Opposing them were individuals who believed that state militias could handle any military emergency; after all, state forces had defeated the well-trained British regulars. Other opponents felt that such an institution would develop a military elite that could some day take over the government. Only after two disastrous defeats by the Indians, an internal insurrection, and a threat of war with France was there support for establishing an academy to prepare young Americans as professional military leaders.
The idea of a military academy can be traced almost to the very beginning of the Revolutionary War. The occupation of Boston by British army units in July 1774 resulted in the convening of the first Continental Congress in Philadelphia in September. In April 1775, colonists fired on British forces at Lexington and Concord. Massachusetts, realizing that it alone could not cope with the British forces, asked other colonies for help. In May, Ethan Allen captured the British fortress at Ticonderoga; in June, colonial forces severely mauled the British at Bunker Hill. When militia from several colonies gathered in Boston, Congress faced the serious problem of selecting a qualified officer to command these forces. After much discussion, George Washington was chosen.
Upon assuming command of the Continental Army in June 1775, Washington encountered the same problems he would face throughout the conflict with Great Britain: insufficient troops, inadequate military supplies, a shortage of funds, and a lack of trained, professional soldiers, especially officers. Despite congressional pressure, Washington could not take the offensive. He was forced to reorganize--actually, to organize--his forces.

The Kerry Doctrine: The Secretary of State's Go-Big-or-Go-Home Foreign Policy
Brinkley, Douglas, Foreign Policy
THE WORLD OF HIGH-STAKES international diplomacy can be rough and tumble, but it's more often than not a procession of suits and summits, protocol sessions and photo ops. And in this genteel old boys' club, John Kerry is a pro. The Yale-educated son of a foreign-service officer, he served in the U.S. Navy, became a veterans' advocate, spent 28 years on the Senate Foreign Relations Committee--including four as chairman--and, of course, ran for president. Perhaps that's why it surprised no one when President Barack Obama picked him to become the 68th secretary of state this February.
Unlike his hyperkinetic celebrity predecessor, Hillary Clinton, who many believed was using Foggy Bottom as a launching pad for another presidential run, Kerry looks more like a diplomat in the old model. A patrician figure--and the first white man to hold the position since Warren Christopher--he clearly relishes the secretaryship and has made clear that he has no aspirations to further office. But if anyone had expected Kerry to settle quietly into his sunset post, his first year has been nothing less than shocking. Brazen even.
This boldness is at the heart of the Kerry Doctrine, which involves tackling the issues most likely to make a historic difference--that is, the world's most festering problems--and doing so with direct, don't-sweat-the-small-stuff diplomacy. It rests on leveraging long-term, substantive relationships with fellow politicians around the world in order to employ diplomatic intervention as the first choice, not the last resort.
The media doesn't often cover the Kerry Doctrine in action--but that's by design. It's a brand of diplomacy done face to face, in private, without media crews in tow. In an extension of the old Eastern Establishment ethos of statesmen Henry Stimson and George Marshall, Kerry won't betray trust: He believes that diplomatic options dry up when discretion breaks down.
It was this doctrine that guided Kerry's efforts to jump-start the Middle East peace process, to the surprise of many, within weeks of becoming secretary of state. Syria was in flames, Lebanon seemed on the verge of unraveling, and Egypt--the guarantor of peace with Israel--was then governed by the Muslim Brotherhood, an Islamist party inimically opposed to the Jewish state. While others were talking about giving up on a turbulent and unpredictable region, Kerry was looking for a Camp David redux.
So what convinced Kerry he could pull this off? Long-standing relationships with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. Over the course of several conversations I had with Kerry this fall, he stressed his ties to the players in the region. Kerry's connection with Netanyahu goes back a quarter-century. It began in Massachusetts in the 1980s, when the prime minister was a private citizen in Boston and Kerry was in the early stages of his political career; Kerry recalls that the two would sometimes meet for meals. And Kerry was one of the first American politicians to meet with Abbas after his 2005 election. Kerry often tells of the Palestinian president saying, "I know what you want me to do: You want me to disarm Hamas. How am I supposed to do that when I have no army, no rifles, no tanks?"
As the newly minted secretary of state, Kerry has parlayed these relationships into serious diplomacy. Soon after Obama visited Israel in March 2013, Kerry flew to Jerusalem for a long dinner with Netanyahu and his team, beginning a dialogue that lasted several months. The Israelis said that they would not allow a repeat of what happened when their forces withdrew from Lebanon and Gaza and that the country's legitimate security needs had to be met in any final status agreement. Over many meetings, often between just him and Netanyahu, Kerry probed Israel's questions and concerns, telling Netanyahu that Israel's issues were America's, too. …

Skip to comments.Committee on International Relations [OIL FOR FOOD] Live link
Posted on 11/17/2004 12:15:27 PM PST by OXENinFLA
Statement of The Honorable Henry Hyde before the Full Committee Hearing on "Oil-for-Food: Tracking the Funds" Wednesday, November 17, 2004
Whilst rank corruption, mining all within, Infects Unseen. William Shakespeare (1564-1616), Hamlet, Act 3
I am beginning to believe that the prevailing sentiment regarding the United Nations Oil-for-Food program may have been "hear no evil, speak no evil, and see no evil." No one seemed to be in charge of watching Saddam Hussein while he and his government were conducting perhaps the largest financial swindle in history. The corruption Saddam and his regime sowed created scores of accomplices around the world at the expense of the Iraqi people. Far too many people looked the other way as Saddam stole billions from the program.
We must remember that the Oil-for-Food program was designed to benefit the Iraqi people. It was imperative that they be fed and their medical needs attended to. Yet, the Iraqi Government, the very government whose responsibility it was to provide that aid, deprived them of the benefits from the sale of their vast oil reserves, cynically using those funds to buy influence and weapons abroad.
Saddam Hussein corrupted every aspect of the program, and various sources indicate that he may have received help from some of our Allies, and perhaps even U.S. citizens, in doing so. This is why this issue has taken on a sense of urgency. We must determine to what extent Saddams corruptive influence tainted others and perhaps even those we trusted most to help us to isolate and disarm him.
Following the release of the recent report by Charles Duelfer (DULL-FER) who is here with us today, information has come to light as to the breadth of Saddams actions both at the United Nations and with our allies. On the one hand, some of our allies, eager to do business with Iraq, did all they could to facilitate business there. The commercial advantage they so eagerly sought in Iraq might well have made them susceptible to manipulations by Saddam Hussein and influenced their relations with the U.S. and with Iraq. On the other hand, the U.N., it now appears, so eager to provide humanitarian goods to Iraq, may have compounded the foreign policy challenges faced by the U.S. by overlooking Saddams corruption.
I am eager to hear from Mr. Duelfer whether, in their eagerness to sell goods to Iraq, some of our allies and other nations sold dual-use goods and perhaps even weapons to Iraq through the Oil-for-Food program. We must know if these weapons were used against our troops in Iraq.
As for Saddam, it is also important for us to determine whether the profits from his corruption were put toward terrorist purposes, as we believe may have occurred. According to the information provided to this Committee, Saddam paid $25,000 rewards to the families of Palestinian suicide bombers through the Iraqi Ambassador to Jordan out of accounts in the Rafidain [Rah-Fee-DAYN] bank in Amman, which held kickback money Saddam demanded from suppliers to his regime. Evidence also points to Saddam extending the Arab League boycott against Israel, requiring companies dealing in the program to sign letters conforming to the boycott.
When we speak of the transaction of funds, we must not omit from our examination the Banque Nationale de Paris, or BNP. This was the bank which held the proceeds from Iraqs oil sales from the Oil-for-Food program.
In the process of examining the bank's role in the Oil-for-Food program, we looked at the bank's performance in verifying the identity of its customers as called for under U.S. law and through the U.N. Oil-for-Food program. There are indications that the bank may have been noncompliant in administering the Oil-for-Food program. If true, these possible banking lapses may have facilitated Saddam Husseins manipulation and corruption of the program.
Evidence seems to indicate that in some cases, payments in the Oil-for-Food program were made by BNP at times with a lack of full proof of delivery for goods and other necessary documents contracted for in the Oil-for-Food program. At other times, payments may have been authorized by BNP to third parties, separate from the originally intended recipient of the Letter of Credit. These are issues which I am looking forward to having our witnesses from BNP address.
We should be concerned that BNP might well have facilitated improper payments to companies that were shipping illegal goods to Iraq. With the bank administering thousands of contracts, we need to know if this occurred and, if so, how many times.
Moreover, as we understand, BNP received millions of dollars in fees over the life of the Oil-for-Food program. This is a lot of money, and it is reasonable to ask if BNP adequately supervised its compliance programs overseeing the administration of the Oil-for-Food program, especially in light of the widespread reports in the press of corruption within the program.
Because of the importance of these issues, I will refer the details of what we have found about BNP to the Financial Services Committee under the able direction of Chairman Mike Oxley. Questions related to the Federal Reserves oversight, while peripheral to our jurisdiction, may be important in the process of untangling this web. Chairman Oxley and I have talked, and we agree on the need to review BNP's performance in its capacity as the bank used by the U.N. for purposes of the Oil-for-Food program.
As we proceed with this matter, it is important for us to review the performance of the U.N. as an institution. In the future, we need to ensure that programs like Oil-for-Food, if they are deemed helpful and necessary, should proceed with greater oversight by member states, with increasing accountability and transparency. The U.N. itself must reform. With this in mind, my friend, Tom Lantos, the Ranking Democratic Member of this Committee, and I are introducing legislation today that will aim to improve U.N. accountability and transparency. We need international institutions that are transparent, answerable to outside scrutiny, and beyond reproach.
We have uncovered what appears to be serious malfeasance on an international scale. The ultimate victims of Saddams corruption have been the Iraqi people, and I believe they have already suffered enough. They are owed an accounting of the crimes of their former government. How many Iraqis were convinced that the United States was the party denying them their food and medicine, when, in fact, it was their own countrys leader and his corruption which were depriving them?
We must explore the full dimensions of the corruption that plagued the Oil-for-Food program from start to finish. To achieve this proper accounting, we will continue the search, leaving no stone unturned.
Moreover, it must be clear that if cooperation from those agencies and institutions involved in this program continues to be inadequate, then we will exercise such enforcement remedies as the law makes available to us.
This inquiry is just beginning.
FNC is the only station carrying coverage of this....
I'm watching it on FNC
Lantos is ripping into France......
hehe, oil for fraud
Says ... It should be called Oil for Fraud and not Oil for Food
Now slamming state dept ......
The Patriot Act and its implementing regulations also:
|expanded the AML compliance program requirements to all financial institutions, including broker-dealers and casinos;
|increased the civil and criminal penalties for money laundering;
|facilitated access to records and required banks to respond to requests for information within 120 hours;
|required regulatory agencies to evaluate an institutions AML record when considering bank mergers, acquisitions, and other applications for business combinations; and
|provided the Secretary of the Treasury with the authority to impose "Special Measures" on jurisdictions, institutions, or transactions that are of "primary money-laundering concern."
Most of the rulemaking under the Patriot Act is now completed, and banking organizations have made significant investments to ensure compliance with these requirements.
Unlike Sen Levin who played Defense Lawyer for the UN
This Dem (Lantos) is RIPPING into the UN
Somewhat off-topic question for the group...Benon Savin is most likely very dirt. Under what jurisdiction could he be indicted and tried? Iraq?..doesn't seem possibly.. The World Court?..Where's the docket for UN types who commit crimes?
Lantos slammin Putin's buddies...
Per. FNC last night they don't think ANY UN officials will be in front of these hearings.
Lantos just about accused Chirac of taking bribes..
I don't know for sure .. but I would guess the The World is who should also be taking this up
I know..my point is..where could they be indicted and tried?..what jurisdiction?
Oh happy day. Lantos is going after the Department of State.
Hmmmmm and who's administration was largely responsible ... THE CLINTON ADMINISTRATION and MADDY THE TROLL???
Did I just understand him to say they were going to call up former (ie Clinton) State Department personnel???
My guess, the UN.
But I think we see Lead turned into Gold before that happens.
My, my; November, the month that just keeps on giving. :-)
Is only FOX covering this?? This is a huge intl scandal, implicating the highest levels in Paris, Moscow, even State Dept. that may bring down the UN as we know it...
Duefler talking about his car being blown up and thanking the men that gave their lives protecting him
When was his car attacked??
Baghdad; last week.
MSNBC is now covering this .. but not CNN
This is great..for the MSM to acknowledge this is to admit that W was right all along by going into Iraq without our so-called 'allies'.....I believe the administration knew about this from the beginning......
From your lips to God's ears.
The initiation of this program turned out to have many benefits for the Regime.
The program did achieve the higher objective of reducing the suffering of the Iraq population. However, it also had unanticipated collateral benefits for the regime.
First, there began a large flow of businessmen to Baghdad in search of contracts. While the UN held the checkbook, in effect, Baghdad still made the decisions on who would get the money. This provided a lever that empowered Saddam to reward or punish those seeking OFF contracts.
The flow of commerce expanded quickly to include the refurbishment of the decayed oil infrastructure. Baghdad shrewdly played various parties off against one another to win their favor. They made it clear that sanctions would not last forever, and when they were lifted, Baghdad would remember who their friends were. This attitude permeated all transactions and the attitude grew that sanctions were eroding and "everyone else" was making money. This effect was intangible, but powerful nonetheless.
The report describes the nature of income that Iraq was able to generate during this period. We broke them into largely four types:
Protocols with neighboring countries
Smuggling of oil products
Kickbacks associated with OFF contracts
Surcharges on oil exported through the
OFF program
The report describes in illustrative cases how transactions occurred, estimated their magnitude, and, more to the point of the report, where the funds were directed. It is shown, for example, that the budget of the Military Industrial Commission (MIC) surged from $7.8 million in 1998 to $350 million in 2001. In 2003 Iraq had budgeted $500 million for MIC. Saddams priorities were clear.
Nice Post
DANG .. FNC cut the hearing off
Click the link and stream it..........
I can't get that link to work ... is there another one?
Not that I found, and I couldn't even find a audio link from C-span's capitol hearings page.
Yes that's the one I tried
I can't get Quicktime Player to work on my computer
That worked ... Thanks!
Darn, just when this is getting good I gotta leave work.
C-span better replay this and archive it on their site.
Maddy the Troll was one of the architects of the OFF program huh?
BURTON talking about how much the US funds the UN.........
FoxNews, Eric Shawn -- biggest scandal in world history. US funds 22% of UN budget. Saddam got 10% kickbacks and rewarded those who helped with him scam.
The audio of this stinks
Burton is asking about kick backs and how missles were sold to Iraq during the sanctions
Duelfer says France wanted to lift sanctions when Saddam was in power,but when he was gone they didn't want to lift them!

SEATTLE (AP) — The hits are taking a toll on Washington starting quarterback Keith Price.
Coach Steve Sarkisian said Monday that Price would not practice and may not start Saturday when the Huskies play at Oregon State. If Price can't play, redshirt freshman Nick Montana would start against the Beavers.
Price was to undergo an MRI exam on Monday on his injured left knee after having to leave the Huskies' 40-17 loss to USC last Saturday. Price was tangled up during a sack in the third quarter and spent the rest of the day on the bench.
Price has endured multiple injuries during the season. Both ankles and now both knees have been hurt. He's tried to smile and limp through it, but he finally may be forced to take a week off.
