New Khalid Sheik Mohammed Photo Surfaces Days Before 9/11 Anniversary

“Khalid Sheik Mohammed may have masterminded the plot to destroy the World Trade center, but it took the administration of G.W. Bush and the US Congress to wear down our military in two pointless wars - destroy our economy in the process, pass the Patriot Act which took away rightful liberties through unlimited wiretapping, illegal detention and torture.
Khalid Sheik Mohammed may have destroyed two office buildings, but we are the author of our own downfall by our thoughtless over-reaction.”

BP Makes "Giant" Oil Discovery In Gulf Of Mexico
Commented Sep 02, 2009 at 16:06:37 in Business
“New oil wells typically flow - meaning there is no energy required to lift the oil to the surface. Eventually the pressure in the oil reservoir depletes and artificial lift is required - and this varies. Sometimes they can burn the natural gas from the well to generate electricity for the downhole pumps - so lifting costs are usually not a decisive factor.
But the investment in the platform that is going to sit - float, probably - in 4000 feet of water and the cost to drill the wells, that is enormous.
Wanna be the top guy at BP who gives the go-ahead to invest several billion into a project that will not provide any return for 5 years and then at some unknown rate depending on the price of oil?
Not me. I wouldn't put a nickle of my own money into it.”

“So they found a lot of oil - that's great.
Problem is, it's in 4,000 ft of water and maybe up to 35,000 ft more of rock.
How many billions is it gonna cost to get the first barrel out?
66% of all the petroleum on earth is in the tar sands of Alberta and Venezuela, some of it right up on the surface.
How is this new strike gonna compete?”

“It is all a function of economics.
They often claim the oil shale in Colorado and Utah is the greatest hydrocarbon reserve anywhere. And periodically they waste money trying to develop it.
But to date, oil has been cheaper than alternatives.
And will remain that way as long as the Boys In Houston and the Saudis have anything to say about it.
And the most certainly do.”

Cheney Accuses Obama Of Launching "Intensely Partisan" Torture Investigation

“Guantanemo, rendition, CIA prisons in foreign countries and torture are all a blot on the American reputation. And none of that stuff produced results that outweighed the bad PR. McCain said this morning that torture is ineffective and was used as a recruiting tool by Al Qaida.
So how to make sure we don't do it ever again?
Try the perpetrators as war criminals and close down the CIA.”

“If you had the slightest notion about foreign countries you'd know other lands(governments, especially) have held a poor view of this country long before the terrorist thing came along. As immigrants have historically proven, really only the best of other lands come here to further themselves and by their presence this country as well. So forget about what the world thinks about us........they'll always be there with hat in hand begging for our help, wealth, and sacrificed blood.
McCain is and was a very brave man, particularly as a NVN prisoner, when he broke under relentless, long lasting torture.
Close down the CIA? That type of absurd thinking during the Senator Church to President Carter to Admiral Turner time forty years ago resulted in the ineffective CIA at present. Read history.”
