Good from Hezbollah today after a dismissive -- Justice Department reaction to -- scathing report about operation fast and furious.
That's the gun running -- that resulted in some 2000 weapons being put in the hands of some very dangerous Mexican drug cartels by our own government.
Five high ranking members of the ATF are singled out as responsible.
For that operation in a report just issued by some house members.
Not one of these men has been fired.
They've all been reassigned.
And the Justice Department is now calling the substance.
Of this congressional report distorted and debunked.
Joining me now the man who led this congressional investigation Republican congressman Darrell -- -- who is chairman of the house committee on oversight.
And government reform so mr.
chairman -- -- this is the first of three reports in which -- try to get to the bottom of what happened here and who was behind it the first report focuses.
On what happened at the ATF and who there was responsible you identify five guys.
Then you're gonna focus on the Department of Justice later reports the -- -- -- of the Department of Justice mr.
chairman comes out says as follows.
Predictably this Republican report reiterates many of the distortions and now debunked conspiracy theories that represented device that has been advancing for a year and a half.
And says.
The one thing and she says that including the fiction.
That these flawed tactics where the brain child of this administration as opposed to the reality.
That this pattern dates back to 2006 and the prior administration.
Your thoughts.
Well first of all it's not surprising that the attorney first attorney general ever to be held in contempt.
Would spin everything and anything is somehow in accurate without providing one fact as to any inaccuracy.
Noses over 200 pages -- a report -- over a thousand pages of -- -- including exclusive material we were very careful.
What we did is undeniable we've shown that where it was an ATF and we've included.
These previous tactics -- -- and others promoted.
We've also talked about the differences and the fact that they were failed program shut down during the previous administration.
And brought back with the full knowledge by this administration and that's what they object to they'd like to make it all bush did it.
Which in this case in the case -- fast and -- couldn't be further from the truth.
Our next report when we get into the specifics of Lanny brewer and others who had an active role in reviving a close program one that had -- in fact.
Considered a failure -- and shut down during the bush administration and then putting it on steroids leading to the death of Brian Terry.
And ultimately to the cover up by attorney general -- Older you talking your report about how this was what what is known as -- -- -- death operation at Department of Justice.
Can you explain what that means and why that is significant.
When it comes to what you believe the department justice new.
Or should have known with respect -- this gun running operation.
-- that's the most important thing for people understand the the Justice Department doesn't mind -- blaming ATF they've been throwing him under the bus.
But in fact -- combined task force for drug drug task force.
Are all about the Justice Department along with the Homeland Security putting together a team that's supposed to work together coordinate.
And nothing could have been further from the truth information was not shared there was stove piping.
Clearly DEA and others have culpability in our report goes into some of those problems.
Problems that show yes ATF has problems and we have some people we'd like to see fired.
But we also see problems all the way up to the top of justice and candidly.
The stove piping also goes over to homeland security and the fact that there were people from that cabinet position.
Who were on -- -- death.
But when something goes wrong pretend like they were just along for the ride that's part of with the American people want us to do on the reform side they don't just want an investigation.
They want real reform.
They keep saying the department -- trying to say that you know they didn't know anything about the controversial tactics that this is a witch hunts that this is an ATF operation that yes they signed off on some.
Wiretap applications but they didn't know about the controversial.
Aspects of the program.
Does the in the I want tell our viewers at this boasts a death is basically designation you get -- DOJ which means it's a big deal at DOJ stands for.
Organized crime drug enforcement task force strikes force off op operation and that means.
-- making a big deal out of this could -- be an -- -- operation at DOJ.
And DOJ not know about the intricate details.
Of the operation.
-- that's exactly the point is they can't have it both ways they can't say that they knew about fast and are about wide receiver.
And it was flawed and then then in fact stirred up fast and furious and then claim they did know about it.
They couldn't claim all of these things that we see sequentially particularly on videos to -- Where US attorney Dennis Burke who has resigned in disgrace.
And his superiors.
Were being read in and they're saying what we were ready and we were given this information but we didn't actually get told any thing.
Well that's a problem what's the point of having briefings that didn't go into the details of these and then try to have plausible than -- ability.
I've I want you would be the sorry I wanted to ask you one question for I run after run and that is obvious spot guy's viewpoint you who -- responsible for this that at ATF.
No it's this weird there's still on the other federal taxpayer got a diamond that now ahead guy -- Nelson.
He's working for do you read our the taxpayers still paying -- we -- -- why.
They are -- still paying all these folks we are concerned.
That there has been no real repercussions and more importantly there's been no change in how it works.
Kenneth Nelson as the acting director clearly was in over his head.
And is an example of what happens when you have acting director after it after acting director.
Off for six years that's part of the problem President Obama did not put up somebody else other than Kenneth Nelson he simply left him -- as an acting director of former US attorney.
His replacement is a former US attorney what we don't have for the 18100 men and women of ATF is a permanent.
Professional that we can rely on to know what's going on -- -- felt relatively large law enforcement organization.
18100 people spread around the world is a lot of people they need a real leader and right now there isn't one.
Now the DOJ says that wait for its own inspector general to come out with.
His final report that that is something that is in process we don't know when we will get that we look forward to it but we will we will see.
Chairman I -- thank you sir thank.

If you are in Istanbul for partying this is your place. It's at the heart of the fun near taksim. But if you wish to rest a little skip it there is so much noise around from the clubs and in the early morning from the cleanings services . I had a room for my own and the bed only had one cover and difficult to go down to the reception to get another since you must step out of the building and it was cold. The shower was on too of the toilet so not very good for showers and toilet always wet.

If you look for a cheapest option in a expensive city, it could be a good option - but don't complain if your linen smells as it wasn't changed for a long time or if you find lots of hair in your private bathroom. The hostel is close to many night clubs, it means: noisy at night. They have also a poor breakfast which you can have in uncomfortable bar tables.

Not a fan of dark-coloured bedding sheets, otherwise a good overall experience, appreciated the amazing buffet breakfast (which even featured potatoes) and the water dispenser outside the room door (even if the dispenser literally had to be pressured to work). Staff were all helpful.

After a disappointing experience at a hostel near the blue mosque, chillout was a breath of fresh air. The bed was comfortable, the room small but cozy, the location minutes away from the main shopping and bar district and the staff friendly and accommodating. The bar was a great place to hang out. Do note that it is in the main night life area which is loud, but the windows are thick and aircon helped compensate for having to keep them shut.

Very close to Taksim and Istiklal street, and very easy to get to. The hostel is quiet and the rooms are clean, but the shared restrooms are not ventilated and the air is stale. My entire room had only one power plug, so one could either charge the electric appliances or have the fan working, but not both. The shared kitchen was rather clean. Overall a pleasant if sweltering experience.

It was a great spot with wonderful people running it. We were comfortable most of the time and the manager was even willing to negotiate a slightly lower price when things got a bit tight for us. We did end up with a decent amount of itchy bites, however. We saw no bugs, save for the occasional ant or fruit fly, so we could have been bitten outside of the hostel.

This hostel is in a fantastic location. We read comments about a noisy club over the road, and we didn't notice this at all when we there (July 2013). We had a bit of a language barrier with staff - but at the end of the day we're in Turkey. The bar downstairs is great, with helpful tips on dinner, drinking etc, Breakfast is the traditional Turkish style, which is very nicely prepared each morning. Very easy to get to this hostel from the Bus Depot - take the 830 bus to Taksim for 3TL each.

I was reviewing the TA times on up in smoke. I have had 2nd on db for quite a while now. While looking at the times, I noticed that General and Jager had pushed me down to 4th. Of course I needed to get myself back to second. Quaker has held 1st in db for quite a long time with 54:71 and still holds it. After numerous attempts, I finally got back into second with 55.03. I looked at that and told myself "I'm not that far off from Quaker, I should be able to achieve his time". Maybe even beat it?
So, after playing it for a long time, I finally achieved 54:88. I was so stoked about it, however; I got an error message like the one below. I was f u c king p i s s ed!!! but, I said OK, If I can get that time, surely I should be able to do better. And I did, I was able to achieve 54:73. Just .02 thousandths of a sec behind Quaker.
However, low and behold at what happened right after.
Now I'm really f u c king p is sed!!! This s h i t happens to me every d a m n time I do TA. This is why I don't like doing TA. Why does this happen? Do any of you guys experience this? Why has evolution studios pretty much abandon this game? There should be a team in place to help solve these issues with MSA. No company just abandons there product after launch. granted it's been out for about year now, but there is always field data that a company collects to improve and fix issues, especially if you expect people to buy your next product... You should have a QA team in place..
From what I hear is that evolution studios is working on there next game for PS4. If the some of the rumors are true about PS4, I don't expect to be buying PS4 when it comes out. If evolution studios has abandon MSA and will not continue to work on fixing the issues, who's to say that when their next game comes out, they will not do the same thing.
Now, I know I'm venting a little here, but I am definitely holding off on buying your next motorstorm game until I here from others what issues there are..
This is one of the better racing games out there, evolution studios should have a little more pride in helping to improve their product.

A little typo. this should be .02 hundredths of a sec behind Quaker.

First of all, that's an impressive time, hafa!
As for the times that aren't uploading, I've experienced that myself a couple of times, too ... not so often though (around 10 times I think, given that I've improved my times >2000 times I think that's not too bad haha).
I know PAULOBAROCA has got this issue, too, on Car Go MC and RT.
On the other hand, but this is quite an optimistic view, I have improved some of my times a lot because of this issue. For example, when I tried to beat Paulo (and The_Army_General) on Mile High RT, I beat their time by a mere 0,0x seconds, but the time did not upload. I went on and improved my time again, still didn't upload. Eventually I improved again and it STILL DIDN'T UPLOAD! I was really angry but still kept going. Finally I improved again and this time it did upload.
Now I'm 0,7 seconds faster than both Paulo and The_Army_General on that particular combo. I'm still proud of it. Without that bloody issue I wouldn't have gotten that time. So an optimist would say: "the game encourages you to beat Quaker's time "

I definitely agree with both of you. I do notice the freeze as well and the next time I experience that freeze, I will just have to quit and re-enter. I know that I will be able to get a better time. It is just frustrating when you spent quite a long time on the game, and you finally get to that point, then your time doesn't record.
The issues I have with MSA and Evolution, is that, these issues have not been retified since the launching of the product. They launched it, threw some vehicles and a new track at us to make us content, then completely abandoned it.
I am really surprised that Sony is not on their back door telling them to fix these issues. I worked with Sony and many other Japenese companies, and I know how they operate. They will continueously hound you to fix the problems before they launch a product.. At least that has been my experience with them..
I know that Evolution was late to market with MSA, but I would rather them be late and get it right, then put out a product that has so many issues.
But again, this is all just my opinion and I don't work for Evolution, so I don't know how they operate... All I know is that I am looking at it from a customers point of view, in which, most companies that create a product do.. Or suppose to do..
It's all about the user experience...
OK, so, know that I'm done venting and I will just have to beat Quakers DB record. I so close, I can taste it.

I am a TA Whor*, I have done all the vehicles many times over. And I have had the failed to comunicate only a handfull of times. The problems I was having were the game freezing and locking up during TA forcing a hard restart. and I couldn't download ghosts. But as VinnieSASAcucumber said I deleted my TA data and everthing has worked fine since then.

June 25, 2008 Bangkok/Paris, June 25, 2008 — An estimated 800 ethnic Lao Hmong refugees were forcibly returned to Laos by the Thai government on Sunday, June 22, and the Thai authorities have stated publicly that they intend to proceed over the coming days with further repatriations to Laos from among the remaining 6,700 refugees in the Huai Nam Khao camp in Thailand's Petchabun Province. The international medical humanitarian organization Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is calling once again on the governments of Thailand and Laos to immediately stop all forced repatriations of the Hmong refugees. Both governments should facilitate the access of independent monitors to all forced returnees in Laos and those believed to be held in detention centers in Thailand so that adequate medical and humanitarian assistance can be provided to them. MSF is also requesting that the presidency and secretary general of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations, the UN Secretary General, Ban Ki Moon, and the governments of France, the United States, and China, ensure that Thailand and Laos resolve this issue in accordance with international standards for refugee protection. The estimated 800 Hmong refugees were forced back to Laos after the military rounded up some 5,000 refugees who had engaged in a protest march against an agreement between the Thai and Lao governments to send them back to Laos. MSF, which has been assisting the Hmong refugees since 2005, estimates that as many as 1,300 people have not returned to the camp since the protest ended near the Thai village of Kek Noi. Their fate remains unknown to MSF. "Thai authorities claim that these were voluntary repatriations," said Gilles Isard, MSF head of mission in Thailand. "It is hard to believe. Families have been torn apart. One of our Hmong staff members who joined the protest has been sent back to Laos without her children and we know of other similar cases. Many of these refugees have expressed grave fears at the prospect of being sent back to Laos," he said. "In the camp there are more than one hundred and fifty people who have suffered bullet wounds that they claim they received a few years ago from the Lao army while staying in the jungle. Hmong refugees who were receiving treatment from MSF for mental trauma caused by the violence and persecution they experienced in Laos are among the missing. These people do not trust the Lao government and demand real guarantees before going back." According to internationally recognized fundamental rights of protection for refugees, repatriation cannot be forced or imposed on individuals fearing for their safety. Any repatriation must remain linked to guarantees for safety upon return, including the provision of appropriate assistance. "MSF believes that the total lack of transparency surrounding the management of this crisis only exacerbates the problem," said Isard. "If the government of Thailand and Laos would accept an independent monitor, then this issue might be resolved." MSF has provided assistance to Hmong refugees in Thailand for three years, and is prepared to provide humanitarian assistance to the returnees in Laos if access is granted to MSF medical teams. Since July 2005, MSF has assisted the Hmong refugees in the Thai village of Huai Nam Khao in Petchabun province. MSF teams provide medical and psychological care, food, water, and relief supplies to the nearly 8,000 refugees. |
