Statement by Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta on the Tragic Incident in Kandahar Province

IMMEDIATE RELEASENo. 170-12
March 11, 2012

Statement by Secretary of Defense Leon E. Panetta on the Tragic Incident in Kandahar Province

            "Today I spoke to President Karzai to offer my deepest condolences and profound regret for the tragic incident in Kandahar province that resulted in the loss of life and injuries to innocent Afghan civilians, including women and children.

             "A full investigation is already underway.  A suspect is in custody, and I gave President Karzai my assurances that we will bring those responsible to justice.  We will spare no effort in getting the facts as quickly as possible, and we will hold any perpetrator who is responsible for this violence fully accountable under the law.

             "I condemn such violence and am shocked and saddened that a U.S. service member is alleged to be involved, clearly acting outside his chain of command.  I told President Karzai that the American people share the outrage felt by President Karzai and his fellow citizens.  This tragic incident does not reflect the commitment of the U.S. military to protect the Afghan people and help build a strong and stable Afghanistan.

             "As we mourn today with the Afghan people, we are steadfast in our resolve to work hand in hand with our Afghan partners to accomplish the missions and goals on which we have been working together for so long.  This terrible incident does not reflect our shared values or the progress we have made together.  As I told President Karzai, I am fully committed to ensuring that our cooperation continues.  It is essential to forging a more peaceful future for the citizens of both our nations."

The Biggest Stories of The Week from TheBlaze.com



March 11, 2012



SANDRA FLUKE... A 30-YR-OLD, FAKE VICTIM?  
The mass media's initial portrayal of Sandra Fluke depicted her as a young college student, struggling to make ends meet. Upon closer examination, Ms. Fluke was revealed to be a 30-year-old, politically active woman who knew that Georgetown Law did not provide contraceptive coverage to students. Get the full story on Ms. Fluke and her agenda HERE.

'THE VIEW'S' DOUBLE STANDARD IS EXPOSED   
Conservative broadcaster Laura Ingraham was called a "slut" by MSNBC's Ed Schultz last year. Unlike Sandra Fluke, Ms. Ingraham was not invited on The View. In fact, that show's matriarch, Barbara Walters reacted quite differently to Ingraham's bashing by Schultz. Find out what happened HERE.

OBAMA GETS TESTY OVER GAS QUESTION  
The tone of President Obama's Super Tuesday press conference took a tense turn after Fox News' Ed Henry asked Mr. Obama one question. Henry wanted to know if there was any validity to a theory claiming that high gas prices help to push the President's green energy agenda. Watch Obama bristle HERE.

13-YEAR-OLD DOUSED WITH GASOLINE AND SET ON FIRE IN RACIALLY CHARGED ATTACK  
A horrific attack on a young man walking home from school has local officials considering hate crime charges in the incident. As the assailants ignited the gasoline poured on the young man, they allegedly told the victim, "you get what you deserve, white boy." See video from the parents of the victim HERE.

This week, CNN's Piers Morgan got an earful from Congresswoman and former GOP Presidential hopeful Michele Bachmann. During their interview, Morgan called Bachmann "judgemental." And that did not sit well with Ms. Bachmann. Watch a clip from that interview HERE.


VIRAL VID - CNN HOST 'LOSES IT'   
The release of some old video featuring President Obama during his Harvard Law School years has sparked a new debate about the pre-political career of the President. CNN's Soledad O'Brien engaged in one such debate with Breitbart.com's Joel Pollak. Watch it unfold HERE.


WHY IS THIS MILLION DOLLAR LOTTERY WINNER STILL ON FOOD STAMPS? SHE'LL TELL YA  
A 24-yr-old Michigan woman scored a big win last Fall. But, Amanda Clayton did not believe that her million dollar windfall would disqualify her from collecting government benefits. Watch the misguided woman explain her reasoning to a hidden camera HERE.



STUNNING PHOTOS AND AN EMOTIONAL ENCOUNTER WITH A TORNADO VICTIM   
Following the deadly tornado storms of last weekend, crews from GBTV were on the ground in Indiana and Kentucky. The focus of our coverage was on the needs of the local people and the amazing stories of support coming from the surrounding communities. One emotional encounter with a survivor is detailed in words and pictures HERE.

KeysNet.com: This week in Florida Keys news Saturday, March 10, 2012

  • An investigation into whether former Monroe County Technical Services Administrator Lisa Druckemiller stole and re-sold roughly $6,000 worth of county Apple iPads and iPhones to co-workers and family members is about to hit full stride.
  • Florida Keys Community College's presidential search committee on Friday identified nine semi-finalists to replace President Larry Tyree, whose contract expires on June 30.

    The 11-member panel, meeting on the college's Stock Island campus, whittled down a list of 19 candidates to the nine semi-finalists. There was an initial pool of 43 applicants when the March 1 deadline to apply hit.
  • Have a pet python or an iguana that's outgrown its cage or some other exotic animal you no longer want or can handle?
  • This past Sunday afternoon we experienced the passing of a powerful front that reminded us all that March is here, bringing with it strong winds and cooler temperatures into the Florida Keys.
  • Well, folks, March is roaring in like an angry lion. And until the wind velocity subsides toward the weekend, I do not recommend going out on your own. Certainly not on the Atlantic side. Nothing puts a damper on a day of fishing like having to call the U.S. Coast Guard for assistance.
  • Chris Maroney of Stuart caught a tournament record of 118 inches of redfish and snook to win the Backcountry Fly Championship that ended Feb. 26.
  • Question: We have a bookkeeper that comes in once a month and prepares an income statement. For the past several months, my husband and I are sure the statements are wrong. They keep showing we are making a nice profit, yet we never seem to have enough cash to pay off all the bills. We even have to struggle to make payroll.
  • For a listing of home and condo sales in the Florida Keys for the period Jan. Feb. 25 through March 3, click here:
  • The culinary rumor mill went into high gear last September when the sign in front of Chanticleer Restaurant in Islamorada was hand-painted, "Gone Fishin'." Owner chef Jean-Charles Berruet had, indeed, retired to enjoy his other passion, fishing, and turned the space over to local chef Michael Ledwith.

McClellanville SC city hall 3/9/12



McClellanville SC city hall 3/9/12 Labels: Dayhoff Daily Photoblog, Dayhoff photos, Governance City Hall photographs, US st South Carolina, US st South Carolina 2012 March, http://www.townofmcclellanville-sc.net/ 

According to DiscoverSouthCarolina.com, “McClellanville is situated on the Atlantic coast, on land surrounded by Francis Marion National Forest and has traditionally derived its livelihood from the sea and coastal marshes by fishing, shrimping and oystering. In 1989 the town was devastated by the full brunt of Hurricane Hugo, which destroyed homes, fishing boats, trees and much of the picturesque character of this historic fishing village. The stronger north side of the eyewall passed directly over the village. Residents who took refuge in Lincoln High School, which had been designated as a storm shelter, were surprised to be flooded by a storm surge which threatened to drown all the refugees. Helping one another, in pitch darkness, they were all able to get into the space above the false ceilings in the building and no one was lost.”

We traveled through the Francis Marion National Forest - http://www.fs.usda.gov/scnfs/.

We stopped at the Sewee Visitor and Environmental Education Center - http://www.fws.gov/seweecenter/

While researching the Marion National Forest, I came across a fascinating newspaper article, “Francis Marion has hidden cameras, Forest Service says devices used for law enforcement,” BY TONY BARTELME, The Post and Courier, Tuesday, March 16, 2010 - http://www.postandcourier.com/news/2010/mar/16/francis-marion-has-hidden-cameras/

The Peace Movement Needs Kucinich, With or Without Congress and more from TruthOut



Thursday 08 March 2012
Public-Sector Banks: From Black Sheep to Global Leaders
Ellen Brown, Truthout: "Public-sector banking is a concept that is relatively unknown in the United States. Only one state - North Dakota - owns its own bank. North Dakota is also the only state to escape the credit crisis of 2008, and has sported a budget surplus every year since, but skeptics write this off to coincidence or other factors. The common perception is that government bureaucrats are bad business people. To determine whether government-owned banks are assets or liabilities, then, we need to look farther afield."

On International Women's Day, Celebrate Feminist Victories of 2011
Christine Ahn, Women's Media Center: "On International Women's Day, we have a lot to celebrate. Rarely are feminist victories recognized by the mainstream media, or even for that matter, by our very own women's movements. So the Global Fund for Women decided it was time to honor some significant wins that women's groups have achieved around the world, from the courtroom to the court of public opinion. In the past year, women's organizing has led to significant progress in securing bodily rights, delivering justice to rape survivors, cementing gender equality into law, and ending violence."

Wisconsin Judge Halts "Extremely Broad and Largely Needless" Voter ID Law
Brendan Fischer, PRWatch: "A Wisconsin judge has issued a temporary injunction against Wisconsin's new voter ID law, calling it 'the single most restrictive voter eligibility law in the United States.' Wisconsin's voter ID law, like many others introduced in 2011 and 2012, is based on an American Legislative Exchange Council (ALEC) model bill."

The Peace Movement Needs Kucinich, With or Without Congress
David Swanson, War Is a Crime: "If Congressman Dennis Kucinich becomes simply Dennis Kucinich sans the 'Congressman' his value to the peace movement need not diminish. I admit it's been nice having someone in Congress who would say and do what he would. There have been and remain other relatively strong voices for peace, but none as strong as Kucinich's. His resolutions have forced the debates. His bills have changed the conversation. His questioning of witnesses has afflicted the comfortable while seeking to comfort the afflicted. Perhaps Congressman Norman Solomon will pick up the baton. Time will tell."

Chicago Kicks Out G8, Prepares for NATO
Rosa Trakhtensky and Nick Burt, Occupied Chicago Tribune: "It's not you, it's me, said the White House in announcing their plan to move May's G8 summit from Chicago to Camp David. They needed their space, they explained, 'to facilitate a free-flowing discussion with our close G-8 partners.' But in reality, we all knew: It was us."

Bill Quigley | Occupying Corporations: How to Cut Corporate Power
Bill Quigley, Truthout: "Corporations are obviously not people. But Romney is correct in the sense that corporations have hijacked most of the rights of people while evading the responsibilities. An important part of the social justice agenda is democratizing corporations. This means we must radically change the laws so people can be in charge of corporations. We must strip them of corporate personhood and cut them down to size so democracy can work. People are taking action so democracy can regulate the size, scope and actions of corporations."

Number of US Hate Groups Is Rising, Report Says
Kim Severson, The New York Times News Service: "Fed by antagonism toward President Obama, resentment toward changing racial demographics and the economic rift between rich and poor, the number of so-called hate groups and antigovernment organizations in the nation has continued to grow, according to a report released Wednesday by the Southern Poverty Law Center. The center, which has kept track of such groups for 30 years, recorded 1,018 hate groups operating last year."

Jim Hightower | Remembering the Lyrical Populism of Woody Guthrie
Jim Hightower, Truthout: "Where's Woody when we need him? In these times of tinkle-down economics - with the money powers thinking that they're the top dogs and that the rest of us are just a bunch of fire hydrants - we need for the hard-hitting (yet uplifting) musical stories, social commentaries and inspired lyrical populism of Woody Guthrie."

On the News With Thom Hartmann: Scott Walker Turns to Millionaires to Defeat the Recall, and More
In today's On the News segment: A new SuperPAC sprung up in the Badger State this week calling itself the "Defeat the Recall" campaign; killing off the EPA means killing American jobs; Obama is taking a tougher stance against the oil barons; Wall Street's favorite, Massachusetts Sen. Scott Brown, has opened up a sizable lead against middle-class champion Elizabeth Warren; and more.

Not Even a Fig Leaf: The Blatant Self-Dealing of Chairman McKeon
Dina Rasor, Truthout: "In past years, it has not been surprising that the chairmen of the House of Representatives of the Armed Services Committee have taken many large campaign contributions from defense contractors. It has happened through many sessions of Congress and included both Republican and Democratic chairmen. So, an article on the current chairman of the Armed Services Committee taking campaign contributions from defense contractors would seem to be an obvious and redundant read. However, Chairman Howard 'Buck' McKeon (R-California) has taken self-dealing to new heights and is having those same contractors contribute to his wife's campaign for the California legislature."

Coming to a Bankster's Mansion Driveway Near You: Occupy Our Homes
Amy Dean, Truthout: "As one of the more promising offshoots of the Occupy movement, Occupy Our Homes - the grassroots effort to prevent evictions and foreclosures - has continued to organize throughout the winter.... For this installment, I spoke with a West Coast activist who is both a leader in anti-foreclosure activism in Los Angeles and a participant in national coalitions organizing around this issue. Amy Schur is executive director of the Alliance of Californians for Community Empowerment (ACCE)."

Obama Unveils "Clean" Vehicle Initiative
Tim Funk, Jim Morrill and Celeste Smith, McClatchy Newspapers: "Mixing politics with policy, President Barack Obama returned to North Carolina on Wednesday to step up his wooing of this key election-year swing state and to propose new federal incentives to spur 'clean energy' vehicles." 
Read the Article 

Ann Jones | Playing the Game in Afghanistan
Ann Jones, TomDispatch.com: "In short, Afghan history is a sobering antidote to the relentless optimism of the American military. Modern Afghan history indicates that no Afghan National Army of any size or set of skills has ever warded off a single foreign enemy or done a lick of good for any Afghan ruler. As for those Afghan guys who whipped the British three times and the Soviet's Red Army, they were mostly freelancers, attached to the improvised militias of assorted warlords, fighting voluntarily against invaders who had occupied their country."

Forced Ultrasound, "Informed Consent," and Women's Health in Texas: The Sad State of the State
Andrea Grimes, RH Reality Check: "Last month, when news spread that Virginia legislators were considering a forced trans-vaginal ultrasound bill, the uproar was loud, clear and immediate: women would never stand for this invasive and unnecessary law. Politicos and pop-culture icons alike spoke out against the Republican-led legislation. What kind of world are we living in, reasonable people wondered, when 'informed consent' is tantamount to state-sanctioned rape?"

Widow of Anthony Shadid, on Her Husband's Life and Posthumous Memoir, "House of Stone"
Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, Democracy Now!: "We speak with Nada Bakri, the widow of Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Anthony Shadid, about her husband's passion for covering the Middle East and his posthumous memoir. 'House of Stone: A Memoir of Home, Family, and a Lost Middle East' chronicles Shadid's rebuilding of his family's ancestral home in Lebanon."

Limbaugh May Get Fitting New Sponsors: Web Sites That Arrange Adulterous Relationships and Match Sugar Daddies With Younger Women
Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: "Considering that, as BuzzFlash noted yesterday, Limbaugh's fourth wife is more than 25 years his junior and a beautiful blonde, the sugar daddy web site may finally be just the right fit as a sponsor. As for his audience, Amanda Marcotte finds Ashley Madison's making bucks off arranging adulterous encounters appropriate for Limbaugh's male following in that 'some companies tacitly acknowledge that central defining characteristics of their customers is that they're jerks.'"

Dennis Kucinich Isn't Going Graciously

Rosie Gray:  Dennis Kucinich Isn't Going Graciouslyhttp://www.buzzfeed.com/rosiegray/dennis-kucinich-isnt-going-graciously


Dennis Kucinich said today that he has no plans to endorse his former friend and the winner of Ohio's 9th Congressional District seat, Marcy Kaptur.


"I haven't done that and I'm not sure I will," he said. "The problem is in politics if someone runs a gutter-level campaign, you're just expected to say it's OK and you move on. Marcy's been my friend for 30 years and I have to tell you, it was pretty surprising to me the kind of campaign that was run, it was more worthy of Karl Rove than Marcy Kaptur." ... http://www.buzzfeed.com/rosiegray/dennis-kucinich-isnt-going-graciously
