If Not for Memo, Torture Might Not Be Issue (Part 2)

By Bob McCarty

Despite the overwhelming success of the Computer Voice Stress Analyzer® while it was used by the U.S. military from 2002-2008, a small group within the Department of Defense bureaucracy — namely the Defense Academy for Credibility Assessment (formerly known as the DoD Polygraph Institute) — has used its position and influence to block the use of this portable lie detector in combat zones by the military services. According to a man with a “chip” in the game, their actions are “doing great damage to our national security by keeping it from the war fighters who need it the most.”

Today, I offer a dozen pieces of evidence that reach across DoD to make a solid argument supporting CVSA® as a better tool than the Preliminary Credibility Assessment Screening System, a cousin to the traditional polygraph, that was designated the “only approved credibility assessment technologies” in the Department of Defense when Under Secretary of Defense James R. Clapper Jr.’s signed a memo to that effect Oct. 29, 2007.

EGYPT IS WORRIED ABOUT IRAN, BUT ALSO ABOUT ISRAEL

Surprising news: even Egypt is worried about Iran's nukes. However, they still have negative views on Israel:

The new US administration's engagement with Iran could be a positive move as long as there are clear parameters and a timetable for negotiations, and as long as the concerns of Arab states like Egypt are kept in mind, an Egyptian Foreign Ministry representative said Wednesday.

"We told them that this is a good step," spokesman Hossam Zaki told The Jerusalem Post on Wednesday about US President Obama's decision to conduct talks with Iran. "Confrontation so far has had negative effects... but you have to know on what terms you are engaging and until when you are engaging. If you decide on these issues, then it is possibly a good move."

While Iran is a regional power that shares a common Islamic heritage with the Arab world, their behavior "is subversive in many ways and we have to keep them in check," he said.

On Wednesday, Egyptian Foreign Minister Ahmed Aboul Gheit said Egypt's view on the danger of nuclear weapons did not distinguish between Israeli capabilities and the dangers that the Iranian case could pose, especially if its program became one with military capability that threatened regional security.

"Possession of any nuclear weapons in the Middle East is unacceptable by Egypt... particularly as the current confrontation between Iran and the West and Israel has consequences for the stability and peace in the region," he said, according to a statement released by the Egyptian Foreign Ministry.

Zaki was quoted by the Middle East News Agency this week as saying that Israel's nuclear abilities posed the first and greatest threat to the region.

No kidding. Then even if they consider Iran a greater threat, their stand on Israel is still disgusting.

BREAKING - MILITARY COUP UNDERWAY IN GEORGIA?

STAY TUNED...

DEMOCRATIC PARTY LOSING SEATS AT THE LOCAL LEVEL

In Alexandria, Virginia - long a bastion of liberalism:

Republican Captures Seat in Alexandria:
Council Result Another Setback For Democrats

Republicans captured a seat on the six-member Alexandria City Council last night, defying political trends that have prevailed in the city since 2003 and giving an emotional boost to local party officials.

With all 27 precincts counted last night, supporters of challenger Frank Fannon IV, a banker at SunTrust Mortgage, were jubilant about breaking the Democratic stranglehold on the council.

"A lot of people in Alexandria thought there was no way Republicans can win," Fannon said. "The citizens of Alexandria are ready for a change -- and not having a one-party system. People like to have options."

The GOP victory is the latest in a series of wins in low-turnout elections in Northern Virginia that have been taken as a sign of resurgence for an otherwise embattled party....

A second Republican-backed candidate won a seat on the council as well....

[...]

In a city that went 72 percent for President Obama in November, Republicans were counting on some Democrats and independents to cross over. In interviews outside polling places, some residents said they split their votes, preferring to back individuals rather than vote along party lines....

HAMAS SPREADING "THE RELIGION OF PEACE"

Reut Cohen reports:

Here is the transcript:

"True foundation and education start in the mosques... Do you realize what the mosque is? It is a prime factory educating men to fear and please Allah; [it is] the prime factory educating Jihad fighters... The mosque is the life of Muslims, and the symbol of their courage and honor... The Palestinian fetus in its mother's womb, the Muslim fetus throughout the world in its mother's womb, call [on Muslims] to unite through fear of Allah, through pleasing Him, and through choosing Jihad and Resistance [terror]." [1]

Give them a state!

AS CRISIS GROWS, OBAMA MEETS WITH KARZAI AND ZARDARI - and it all has that deja vu feeling to it...

Now - 2009 - from the BBC:

US President Barack Obama has said after meeting his Afghan and Pakistani counterparts that they are united in the goal of defeating al-Qaeda.

Speaking in Washington, Mr Obama said the goal was to "disrupt, dismantle and defeat al-Qaeda" and its allies.

He also pledged greater resources to help civilians in both countries and try to avoid civilian casualties.

Meanwhile, Pakistan's army was engaged in bloody operations to reverse a Taleban advance in its northern provinces on Wednesday.

The bottom line at the summit was more American troops for Afghanistan and more aid for Pakistan, with the Obama administration deepening its involvement in the search for stability, the BBC's Kevin Connolly reports from Washington.

'Solid support'

Mr Obama said his counterparts fully appreciated the gravity of the security threats posed by militants.

2006 - MSNBC:

President Bush appealed to the bickering presidents of Pakistan and Afghanistan on Wednesday to put aside their differences and “strategize together” over dinner on ways to defeat the common enemy of terrorism.

Standing between Pakistani President Gen. Pervez Musharraf and Afghan President Hamid Karzai, Bush emphasized “the need to cooperate, to make sure that people have got a hopeful future” in both countries.

The region and the world don't need more happy-unity talk.

We need to smash the Taliban and al Qaeda in Afghanistan.

A few nukes will do the trick. Preferably Paki nukes.

And all these apologies for civilians killed!?!?! WTF?!?!? If the freakin' Pak military did it's jib none of these high-priced surgical precision drone attacks would be necessary.

WE FIRST COUNTER-ATTACKED THE TALIBAN IN 2001. WE DIDN'T USE OUR NUKES THEN - WHEN WE SHOULD HAVE. THAT'S WHY - 8 YEARS LATER - AND WE'RE STILL FIGHTING --- AD STILL FIGHTING WITH ONE HAND TIED BEHIND OUR BACK.

ENOUGH HALF-ASSERY: LET'S BLOW THE TALIBAN SCUM TO KINGDOM COME.

DAILY SOCIALIZED HEALTHCARE NIGHTMARE: IRELAND: 133 TERMINALLY ILL PATIENTS ON WAITING LIST FOR HOSPICES

IRISH INDEPENDENT:

HEALTH chiefs were last night accused of abandoning "the weakest and most vulnerable" in society after it emerged terminally ill patients are being forced to spend some of their final days on lengthy waiting lists.

The criticisms came as the Irish Hospice Foundation revealed that 133 terminally ill patients were on a waiting list desperately seeking access to hospice care.

... The revelations come in the wake of the HSE's admission last May that about half of the money allocated to hospices for palliative care had been diverted.

... the Oireachtas Committee on Health and Children was told much of the money had been withdrawn to meet cost overruns in demand-led drugs schemes and acute hospital services.

Last night, the HSE indicated that further funding may not be available for some time.

NATIONALIZED HEALTHCARE - RUN BY BUREAUCRATS AND POLITICIANS - SUCKS.

BUT OBAMA WANTS TO BRING IT HERE.

DON'T BE DUPED.

OBAMA TO SKIP NATIONAL PRAYER DAY: IS OBAMA A CRYPTO-MUSLIM OR JUST AN ATHEIST POSING AS A BLACK LIBERATIONIST?

BUSH NEVER MISSED ONE.

OBAMA HAS BETTER THINGS TO DO.

BTW: HE HASN'T JOINED A CHURCH YET, HAS HE?

OBAMA IS AN IMMORAL MAN WITH NO USE FOR CHURCH OR PRAYERS.

IN THE CONTINUING WAR AGAINST CAPITALISM, LEFTIST JUDGE AND LEFTIST MSM PUBLISH NAMES OF CHRYSLER HOLDOUTS

NYTIMES OUTS THEM HERE.

THERE'S NO REASON FOR THIS - EXCEPT TO PUNISH THEM IN THE COURT OF PUBLIC OPINION FOR SEEKING THIER DAY IN COURT ACCORDING TO THE RULE OF LAW.

THIS IS NO DIFFERENT THAN WHEN THE NYTIMES PUBLISHED A LIST OF THE TOP TEN CEO EARNERS.

THE LEFT IS WAGING A WAR ON CAPITALISM - AND IT'S BEING LED BY OBAMA.

IS EGYPT TRYING TO SECRETLY MAKE NUKES, TOO?

AP:

UN nuclear inspectors have found traces of weapons-grade uranium in Egypt, IAEA said in a report obtained Wednesday by The AP.
Dated May 5, the restricted report said IAEA INSPECTORS detected the particles last year and in 2007. A senior diplomat accredited to the agency said that it was the first time the traces were reported by the Vienna-based nuclear monitor. He demanded anonymity for commenting on the restricted document.

It was unclear why the agency was disclosing the findings now. IAEA spokespeople did not immediately return calls asking for comment.

In its page-long section on Egypt, the 82-page document said Cairo believes the particles could have come into the country on containers with radio isotopes but said the IAEA was continuing its investigations because "it has not yet identified the source of the uranium particles."
Both high- or weapons-grade and low-enriched uranium can be used to make radio isotopes, which are used in medicine and scientific research. The report said traces of low-enriched uranium also were found at the same site - Inshas, northeast of Cairo, where Egypt's two small research reactors are located.

But highly enriched uranium can be turned into the fissile core of nuclear warheads.

REUTERS:

Egypt ratified the Non-Proliferation Treaty in 1981 but not the IAEA's 1997 Additional Protocol that gives inspectors the right to make intrusive, short-notice inspections of nuclear facilities and other sites not declared as nuclear.

LISBON TREATY IS LIKE A FREAKIN' LEFTIST ZOMBIE

BBC:

The upper house of the Czech parliament has voted to approve the European Union's Lisbon Treaty, removing one of its few remaining obstacles.

Czech ratification will not be complete until signed by President Vaclav Klaus, a Eurosceptic who appears in no rush.

But the spotlight is now on the Republic of Ireland, where a second referendum is seen as the last major hurdle in the treaty's path.

The treaty cannot take effect unless all 27 EU member states ratify it.

IT SHOULD BE DEAD AND BURIED ALREADY BECAUSE IRELAND VOTED IT DOWN.

BUT THE LEFTIES ARE CONNIVING TO BRING IT BACK TO LIFE.

THE ISLAMIZATION AND THE EUSSR-IFICATION OF EUROPE ARE A DEADLY ONE-TWO PUNCH EUROPE CANNOT POSSIBLY SURVIVE.

THE PERFECT METAPHOR FOR THE LEFT: CARBON-FREE VOYAGERS RESCUED AT SEA BY OIL TANKER

HOT AIR AND SONDRAK ARE ON THE CASE.

THE MORAL OF THE STORY:

THE FOLKS ON THE LEFT ARE ALWAYS CAUSING TROUBLE BY SHOWBOATING OR WHINING OR APPEASING...

AN THEY'RE ALWAYS BAILED OUT BY US FOLKS ON THE THE RIGHT.

If Not for Memo, Torture Might Not Be An Issue

The question of whether members of the U.S. military and intelligence communities should be allowed to use waterboarding and other forms of torture during interrogations might be largely irrelevant today if not for a memo signed by Under Secretary of Defense James R. Clapper Jr. Oct. 29, 2007.

On that day, Clapper issued a memo granting “Operational Approval of the Preliminary Credibility Assessment Screening System (PCASS)” and designating the polygraph and its cousin, the PCASS, as the “only approved credibility assessment technologies” in the Department of Defense. And that's where the problems begin.

THE EVIL LEFT: PROTECTING PEDOPHILES AND MURDERERS

HERE AND HERE.

EVIL MURDERERS AN RAPISTS - THE LEFT TRULY SEEMS ENAMORED OF THEM: MAO; POL POT; STALIN; HITLER; MUGABE; KIM; CASTRO, CHE & CHAVEZ; AYERS; ARAFAT; MUMIA; FARRAKHAN; SADDAM; KHOMEINI; HO CHI MINH - AND SO ON.

THE EVIL LEFT - I KNOW: IT'S REDUNDANT!

SOME FOLKS THINK THAT OBAMA JUST MIGHT BE THE BEAST, THE ANTI-CHRIST

CLICK PIC' FOR LOADS OF OBAMA/END-TIMES SCHTICK.
(THERE'RE SEVERAL VIDEOS AND AN ARTICLE AT THE LINK - SO SCROLL DOWN...)

BTW: IT JUST MIGHT BE TRUE!

THREE SEEMINGLY UNRELATED ITEMS PROVE THE IMMORALITY OF THE LEFT

• LEFTIST IN TEXAS INTRODUCES A BILL TO MAKE INFANTICIDE BY THE MOTHER A MERE FELONY PUNISHABLE WITH A TWO YEAR SENTENCE.

THIS IS JUST SICKENING!

• GREAT BRITAIN BANS SAVAGE.

AS BAD AS BANNING GEERT WILDERS.

THESE LABOUR-LEFTIES SIMPLY DON'T RESPECT FREEDOM OF SPEECH.

• BIDEN ANNOUNCES OBAMA ADMINISTRATION WILL TURN UP THE HEAT ON ISRAEL.

IT'S UPSIDE DOWN: OBAMA IS GETTING TOUGHER ON THE ONLY PLURALISTIC DEMOCRACY IN THE REGION AS HE PROMISES TO TALK PRETTY TO IRAN - WHICH FINANCES HIZBALLAH, HAMAS AND IS ACTIVELY DESTABILIZING EGYPT AND JORDAN AND LEBANON.

THESE ITEMS DEMONSTRATE THAT THE LEFT HAS NO RESPECT FOR LIFE, FREE SPEECH, OR DEMOCRACY AND OUR ALLIANCES.


IF THE LEFT AIN'T EVIL, THEN THEY'RE DOING A FABULOUS IMPERSONATION!

OBAMA'S JUDICIAL PHILOSOPHY UNDERCUTS THE RULE OF LAW - THE ASTUTE BLOGGERS SCOOPS SOWELL BY 2 DAYS

SOWELL TODAY:

President Obama has made “empathy” with certain groups one of his criteria for choosing a Supreme Court nominee is a dangerous sign of how much farther the Supreme Court may be pushed away from the rule of law and toward even more arbitrary judicial edicts to advance the agenda of the Left and set it in legal concrete, immune from the democratic process.

Would you want to go into court to appear before a judge with “empathy” for groups A, B, and C, if you were a member of groups X, Y, or Z?

Nothing could be farther from the rule of law.

TAB ON SUNDAY:

OBAMA SEEKS AN ACTIVIST WHO WILL DECIDE CASES BASED ON OUTCOMES AND NOT THE LAW. HE SAID THIS DOZENS OF TIME ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL. IT'S WHAT HE WILL DO AND WHO HE WILL PICK.

• THIS IS NOT PRAGMATISM; IT IS ALINSKY ACTIVISM - AND IT IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL AND BAD FOR OUR NATION.

• SEE THE SUB-TITLE OF ALINSKY'S BOOK? HERE: "A PRAGMATIC PRIMER FOR REALISTIC RADICALS".

• THIS IS THE KIND OF "PRAGMATIST" OBAMA IS: AN "ALINSKY PRAGMATIST".

• LOOK AT THE PHOTO ABOVE (IN THE NYT ARTICLE) - OF OBAMA SUPPOSEDLY TEACHING LAW:
  

• IT DOESN'T SHOW OBAMA PARSING THE LAW;
  

• IT DEPICTS OBAMA DIAGRAMMING "POWER RELATIONSHIPS IN THE ECONOMY", (CORPORATIONS, BANKS, UTILITIES); IT'S MARXIST ANALYSIS PURE & SIMPLE.

REGULAR READERS OF TAB KNOW WE SCOOP ALL THE BIGGIES ALL THE TIME BECAUSE WE DON'T JUST FOLLOW THE PACK

BOOKMARK US; BLOGROLL US; SPREAD THE WORD.

OBAMA = CARTER-SQUARED: EVIDENCE MOUNTING: OBAMA ADMINISTRATION IS NOT MERELY RUN BY LEFTIST THUGS; IT'S INCOMPETENT

FOR CHICAGO WAY-THUGGERY SEE BELOW.

HERE'S A PARTIAL LISTING OF TEAM OBAMA'S INCOMPETENCE:

• THE NYC AIR-FORCE 1 FLY-BY.

• THE REACH OUT TOWARD THE TALIBAN - WHO PROMPTLY INVADED NON-FATA/REGULAR PAKISTAN.

• THE REACH OUT TO CHAVEZ - WHO PROMPTLY ELEVATED HIS RELATIONSHIPS WITH HIZBALLAH, ABBAS, AND IRAN.

• LOANING BILLIONS AND BILLIONS TO CHRYSLER AND GM - ONLY TO SEE THEM GO INTO BANKRUPTCY, THEREBY WASTING BILLIONS AND BILLIONS.

• THE RUSSIAN RESET BUTTON.

• THE CHEESY DVD GIFT TO THE PARTIALLY BLIND BRITISH PM - AND THE CHEESY GIFT TIO THE QUEEN.

• MANGLING CHURCHILL'S STAND ON TORTURE AND HARSH MEASURES DURING WAR.

AND SO ON.

IF OBAMA WASN'T A LEFTIE, HE'D BE THE LAUGHINGSTOCK OF THE MSM.

CARTER SQUARED. BHOJR = JEC2

THE WORST PRESIDENT EVER. IN RECORD TIME.

THIS WAS PREDICTED. HE'S A HARDCORE LEFTIST AND AN APPEASER WITH ABSOLUTELY NO FREAKIN' EXPERIENCE RUNNING A DAMN THING.

HE ONLY WON BECAUSE HE OUTSPENT MCCAIN 8-TO-1.

MISS CALIFORNIA: MORE PROOF THE MSM IS IN THE BAG FOR OBAMA

The MSM has gone after Carrie Prejean way harder than they have Murtha (for his pork) or Obama for already breaking several campaign pledges. Or Rezko. Or the tax cheat Geithner. Etc.

The only person the MSM has hit harder is Joe the Plumber.

They might as well be on Obama's and the Dems payroll.

BTW: The only reason they're going after Prejean is because RELIGION informed her position - the same position as Obama and BJ Clinton.
