"I call as my main witness Mr. Malcolm Nance. Mr. Nance is not what you call a bleeding heart. In fact, speaking of the coronary area, he has said that, in battlefield conditions, he 'would personally cut bin Laden’s heart out with a plastic M.R.E. spoon.' He was to the fore on September 11, 2001, dealing with the burning nightmare in the debris of the Pentagon. He has been involved with the sere program since 1997."

Iran: The Threat
posted to MetaFilter by homunculus at 10:02 PM on June 29, 2008
We've been supposedly about to invade Iran for, what, two or three years now?
Two or three years isn't a significant length of time under the circumstances. Many prominent neocons are frothing at the mouth over this every week, and it's not over until the fat man (Cheney) is out of office. I've considered it pretty unlikely ever since that last NIE took the wind out of their sails, and if I had to bet I'd bet against it happening. But still, well,... [more]

Chinese riots over girl's death
posted to MetaFilter by homunculus at 11:11 AM on June 29, 2008
This seemed potentially pertinent to me. A lot of Chinese people are getting increasingly frustrated with the corruption of local officials. There have been quite a few riots in China in the last few years. After the Sichuan earthquake, the government was very open at first, but then the parents of the dead schoolchildren started demanding justice (right around the anniversary of Tiananmen), so the window closed. Now the government is back to spouting propaganda and suppressing dissenters,... [more]
