Salim Muwakkil brings more details:
This story is depressingly familiar. With apocalyptic rhetoric, the authorities herald an arrest, boasting that their efforts, with the aid of confidential informants, have foiled another homegrown terrorist plot. However, it soon becomes clear the alleged plotters were incapable of committing these terrorist acts without the participation and provocation of the informants.
Mike Stiles tells the real story:

Larry Johnson might have an idea about it:
Quoting USA Today? Ha! Nevertheless, you re thinking is that as long as (some of) the families were given hush, they should simply shut up and walk away and be satisfied? And you re happy with that? Wow, you should be running for Senate.
North Country Gazette sees it this way:
 Stanford and his co-defendants allegedly misused and misappropriated most of those investor assets, including diverting more than $1.6 billion into undisclosed personal loans to Stanford himself, while misrepresenting to investors SIBL’s financial condition, its investment strategy and the extent of its regulatory oversight by Antiguan authorities.
Qwaider brings some great news:

Despite the previous arguments, John Elwood has many reasons to think otherwise:
6.19.2009 3:02pm ( link ) jukeboxgrad ( mail ):This Walpin matter provides a perfect illustration of how Limbaugh regularly promotes misinformation. No surprise then that so many dittoheads show up here promoting misinformation.
marksayers notices:
The public simply could not believe that someone who carried so much mythical symbolism could die in such a random and seemingly accidental way. The massive pouring out of public affection after her death simply goes to prove the cultural power and symbolism that she carried.
Kenneth Anderson thinks that the problem is:
problem for the UN.) That’s finally how the inconsistency is overcome - governance will mean mere coordination today, but real governance tomorrow. Yet the two remain different ideas, different in kind and not just degree, dependent upon different sources, as said above, of authority, legitimacy, and power, and the biggest risk is that you warp out of shape the modestly practical possibilities of â€mere“ coordination by a body such as the IMF because you are holding out for what you hope it might become as a body of true â€governance“ in the future. It is holding out for this possibility that seems to me to explain Mandelson’s insistence on using strategically ambiguous language. It allows him to offer as consistent a project that is, finally, inconsistent.
Ed Morrissey brings more details:
If the Revolutionary Guard makes good on its threat, the transition to military dictatorship will be complete. The mullahs will have no credibility with the people and will remain completely reliant on its army to maintain power internally. The Revolutionary Guard will understand this well, and will quickly turn Khamenei and his elders into nothing more than puppets for the Guard s purposes. The question then will be whether the Guard can maintain control over 70 million Iranians who have already lost faith in their theocrats and never assented to rule by military force.
Thinking that's not all, John Elwood adds:
Except that the AUSA never "commenced legal action to compel production." So your claim about "obtaining legal process from the US Attorney after Obama was inaugurated" is pure fiction.
Thinking that's not all, Guest adds:

Conor Foley tells the real story:
As I think I have previously explained the last time I saw Simon, Paul and Alan was over 20 years ago at the time that Socialist Organiser was changing its line on the issues of both Ireland and Israel/Palestine. When I had first met all of them they took a fairly standard Trot position on these issues and so I have always find it slightly weird that they attribute views to me which I never had but which they used to.
David T brings a word of caution:
Homercles 24 June 2009, 7:15 pm That isn’t what bothers me here. It’s the ott comments, the hateful edge. I couldnt agree more Sophia, but I defend your right to post here nonetheless.
Eugene Volokh does not seem to agree with this. In his own words:
( link ) Kenneth Anderson: Over at Opinio Juris, I ask the question whether, despite the fact that this is a Commerce Clause and federalism case, it might somehow carry implications for proposals for civil administrative detention of persons the government believes represent a threat - even if inchoate and generalized - of terrorism. I am curious to know whether any of our constitutional law scholars think there could conceivably be implications, despite the apparent inapplicability of the Constitutional provisions at issue. 6.22.2009 2:34pm
However, David Badertscher states that:
U.S. 1st Circuit Court of Appeals, June 19, 2009 US v. Gonzalez-Melendez, No. 08-1497 Defendant's carjacking conviction is vacated where: 1) the District Court did not comply with its obligation to independently review the government's compliance with the Jencks Act; and 2) the record did not reflect that the District Court made any response to a jury note requesting copies of certain documents.

Steve Benen is absolutely sure that:
March 2008February 2008January 2008December 2007November 2007October 2007September 2007August 2007
But Eugene Volokh has a different opinion:
It's perfectly logical to say, "The U.S. is on the right side in Iraq, and Saddam and those fighting us are monsters", but we shouldn't have invaded." It is also logical to continue, "There will be a humanitarian disaster if we leave, but we should do it anyway". However, almost no one said this. For example, almost every "anti-war" person applauded the shoe-thrower in Iraq, in spite of the fact that he was on the side of one of the terrorist
David Kopel says it all comes down to this:

John Elwood does a quick recap:

Where were the people around him who were supposed to help him grow from child-teen-young adult pop star into a graceful middle-aged mentor to young musicians .a la Quincy Jones? Oh that s right- he couldn t take a back seat to help others - he had to continue to chase the flame. Sad man. Like Phil Spector, riding on early genius and disappearing into his own private hell ..I do not feel any sadness for MJ. I do recognize his place in musical history - but I wish we would all learn to appreciate those who have made transitions from child to adult stars who choose to do great things with the money and fame bestowed upon them. Shame on him.

Justyn Dillingham notices:
The stumbling block to this ever-useful rhetorical move is that conspiracies do exist. Strictly speaking, a conspiracy simply means a plan by a group of people in private to do something for an end that they cannot justify in public. This perfectly describes the actions of the Bush Administration in the year leading up to the invasion of Iraq. Calling it a conspiracy may summon up visions of John Birch pamphlets, but it is also an entirely accurate description.

Choosing the phrase "ambitious and aggressive" implies that Walpin was on a witch-hunt seeking personal power or prestige. That may be accurate, and the administration clearly wants us all to believe it is, but there aren't nearly enough facts available at this point for a journalist to endorse that position in a news report. The reference to the party affiliation of the presidents appointing Walpin and Brown also seems designed to insulate the adminstration against claims of partisanship, but does nothing to address the more realistic claim of cronyism.
But DM Confidential says that's not all:

Let s say you hire someone for their creativity in the art of gray, because they know how to bend the rules. Don t be surprised if you find them doing things that you don t know about or feel comfortable with. You didn t hire them to toe the line, and once the need for the creativity goes, don t think it leaves them.
Similarly, John Elwood adds:
The evidence that St. HOPE Academy was recalcitrant as to providing accounting material is recited in the OIG's Special Report to Congress.
John Elwood objects:
AUSA asks OIG for an affidavit for an enforcement proceeding that the US Attorney would commence In the English language, "would commence" is a forward-looking phrase. +2 weeks from Dec 2, AUSA had not yet commenced the proceeding against St. HOPE Academy, and indicated that it required an affidavit from OIG before it would commence the proceeding.

The stumbling block to this ever-useful rhetorical move is that conspiracies do exist. Strictly speaking, a conspiracy simply means a plan by a group of people in private to do something for an end that they cannot justify in public. This perfectly describes the actions of the Bush Administration in the year leading up to the invasion of Iraq. Calling it a conspiracy may summon up visions of John Birch pamphlets, but it is also an entirely accurate description. Politicians do scheme for advantage, both political and private; judging by the Iraq War, their schemes can have far-reaching and devastating consequences.

Holi and Diwali are considered to be a particularly Hindi festival. However both Hindu and Muslim residents of Umarkot unite to celebrate these festivals to express communal solidarity and their particular village identity in spite of religious differences. No matter whether they are Hindus or Muslims, residents of Umarkot primarly identify with each other as members of the same village. Thus during such festivals, they dance in the streets and exchange sweets. A desert town splashes colors and celebrates with each other.

Eugene Volokh might have an idea about it:
This was a side I didn’t want to be on, didn’t want our country on. I heard many suspicious things about Zelaya, the booted Honduran president, including allegations of drug ties. Also, he was running for succor to the UN, the very organization just weeks ago I had personally seen embrace Ahmadinejad in Geneva. So when I read this message from a Honduran on The Corner, I wasn’t surprised.
Kenneth Anderson sees it this way:
And what are we doing about it in this country? Why, we are putting Barney Frank and Chris Dodd in charge of solving the problem they and their side had a heavy hand in creating in the first place.
For this reason, Marshall Kirkpatrick says:

Gee, I wonder why you would prefer to elide this key point. When Bush replaced US attorneys at the end of his first term, that was not a firing, but simply non-renewing.
However, Eugene Volokh thinks differently:
I'm trying to understand your connection between class struggle and leftism. Is it possible to be a leftist without embracing class struggle, or embrace class struggle without being a leftist?
For this reason, John Elwood says:
evidence" (emphasis added). If "the report does not contain the direct evidence supporting what it claims," then why did you describe the contents of the report as "evidence?" And what is the weasel-word "direct" supposed to mean? Is there some other place we can look to find the "direct evidence?" Is what the report contains 'indirect' evidence? Because as far as I can tell, the report contains only unsubstantiated claims. Why did you call that "evidence?"
Furthermore, Dutchman6 claims:
What is a "Three Percenter"? During the American Revolution, the active forces in the field against the King's tyranny never amounted to more than 3% of the colonists. They were in turn actively supported by perhaps 10% of the population. In addition to these revolutionaries were perhaps another 20% who favored their cause but did little or nothing to support it. Another one-third of the population sided with the King (by the end of the war there were actually more Americans fighting FOR the King than there were in the field against him) and the final third took no side, blew with the wind and took what came.
Richard Sanderson comes with a new idea:
moaning molly dancing momus momus up a tower money monty python morris morris dancing mouse mp3 mumming
John Elwood thinks about it:
11/7/08 that he was still waiting for Walpin to provide solid information ("we have asked the investigating agency for information that would enable us to make an informed decision … we are still waiting for an answer"). As I said, you and Walpin have one concept of words like "substantiated" and "evidence," and Scott has another.

They were in turn actively supported by perhaps 10% of the population. In addition to these revolutionaries were perhaps another 20% who favored their cause but did little or nothing to support it. Another one-third of the population sided with the King (by the end of the war there were actually more Americans fighting FOR the King than there were in the field against him) and the final third took no side, blew with the wind and took what came.

John Elwood thinks about it:
11/7/08 that he was still waiting for Walpin to provide solid information ("we have asked the investigating agency for information that would enable us to make an informed decision … we are still waiting for an answer"). As I said, you and Walpin have one concept of words like "substantiated" and "evidence," and Scott has another.

Before going any further, Tatiana Pina wants to get this straight:
Watson was charged with possession of marijuana -- over 5 kilograms, possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, possession of a firearm while committing a crime of violence, possession of a stolen firearm and conspiracy. Mahoney was charged with possession of marijuana, possession of marijuana with intent to deliver and conspiracy.
Jeff Miller brings a word of caution:

Meanwhile, Rick Jelliffe came up with this idea:
Getting adequate conformance is hard. It is in the interest of vendors to be flexible in areas which may not serve the public interest: it is natural that they want the standard to reflect their capabilities and druthers. But apart from balancing interests, documents standards have a very difficult time in specifying conformance tightly. To see Alex and my comments as part of some denial of service attack on ODF is laughable; indeed to see the volume of what we write as a sign that there must be some large team behind us (or even that we are in some way co-ordinated) is I suppose something we should take as a compliment.
David Hyman explains:
This doesn’t mean that there are no problems with health insurer performance â€" nor that no health insurance markets are oligopolistic â€" but you can’t answer those issues in the abstract or assume that there’s an antitrust problem, or that there isn’t such a problem â€" you have to actually go and look.
However, John Elwood thinks differently:
Many here seem to be using a standard that's closer to a presumption that Obama acted wrongfully. I think anyone would agree there's at least an appearance of impropriety here, but I think any actual conclusion of wrongdoing beyond "Walpin did something Obama might not have liked" that leads to the conclusion "Obama fired Walpin for doing this." Did the board actually make this request for a review? what's the paper trail on that, is there any evidence of what caused their request? what about evidence of the other stuff?
Ilya Somin scans the other's answers and reply:
And of course, it would have also prevented millions who had no possibility of ever repaying the mortgages from getting one in the first place (unless the Ponzi game of re-financing on rapidly increasing and inflated real estate "values" continued unabated, that is). No down payment, no income, no job and get a mortgage anyway, on a massive scale, that was the rule of the day. Anyone should have been able to see that that would eventually lead to a huge dislocation in the residential real estate market somewhere not far down the line, but no one wanted to look. Everyone was making tons of money, and getting lots of votes for helping the poor and downtrodden get their own home.
Having that in mind, David T wonders:

So how come there is no fast food equivalent to junk food? No drive through veggie stand? No 99c snacker? Or 99c value menu at any spot? However, all the junk food (that sells for 99c) with companies that make billions (i.e. profitable) is all over the place?

Phil Plait points out another thing aside from that:
Jonathan Adler notices:
Petitioners were denied promotions for which they qualified because of the race and ethnicity of the firefighters who achieved the highest scores on the City’s exam. The District Court threw out their case on summary judgment, even though that court all but conceded that a jury could find that the City’s asserted justification was pretextual. The Court of Appeals then summarily affirmed that decision. The dissent grants that petitioners’ situation is “unfortunate†and that they “understandably attract this Court’s sympathy.â€
For this purpose, Eagle staff suggests:
U.S. Attorney Lanny Welch said former commissioner Michael R. "Mick" Wunder, 52, is charged with bank fraud, perjury, conspiracy and unlawful monetary transactions. The indictment, which has been under seal since it was filed June 9, charges the former commissioner with 11 counts, including:

The Conversation brings some great news:
So I hate hearing the Republicans demand that Obama stand with the people or say that he s betraying our principles by failing to show the demonstrators that we care. There s nothing harder than for a president to stand by at a moment like this, and do nothing but decry the shooting of innocent singing students while they re standing on the street. But that s his job. Otherwise, he s playing right into the hands of the crazy people.
Kenneth Anderson comes with a new idea:
The stability or otherwise of the global economy is the sum of sovereign national macroeconomic policies. There is no mechanism to mediate between those policies or insist on action that would counter systemic risk. Similarly, national financial regulators have a clear enough remit for national market stability, but financial markets are now regional and global. Nobody was asleep at the wheel of globalization because there is no wheel to speak of.
Jim Lindgren also takes into account the following fact:
Begin with the current inventory of carbon dioxide emissions â€" CO2 being the principal greenhouse gas generated almost entirely by energy use. According to the Department of Energy's most recent data on greenhouse gas emissions, in 2006 the U.S. emitted 5.8 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide, or just under 20 tons per capita. An 80% reduction in these emissions from 1990 levels means that the U.S. cannot emit more than about one billion metric tons of CO2 in 2050.
In addition to this, Phil Plait states:
[Update: folks at CollectSpace are saying this article is a hoax . I have no evidence either way, which is why I wrote this post using the "allegedly" format. Hopefully more evidence one way or another will come out soon.]
The Conversation might have an idea about it:
Sarah’s Straight Talk The timing of Sarah Palin’s resignation was extremely peculiar. You’d have thought she didn’t want us to notice.
Still not being convinced, John Elwood replies:
please look through JBG's reactions to my points and see if you can find the "facts" JBG uses to refute them
