The Guardian and BBC have made a documentary outlined in this story, Revealed: Pentagon's link to Iraqi torture centres.

It seems that James Steele, the engineer and trainer of the paramilitary forces in El Salvador, was picked by Donald Rumsfeld to go to Iraq. There, he founded US-funded sectarian special police commandos and a network of torture centers.

They present considerable evidence that Petraeus, Rumsfeld and Bush were well aware of what was going on.

No US outlets have picked up the news. Go figure.

Hundreds of electoral college votes might be affected by the onrushing Hurricane Sandra and its related snowstorms, floods, winds and other plagues.

Two simple thoughts:

1) Vote as soon as you can do it!

2) Consider how your east coast GOTV effort might work without electricity. Ask if there is there any kind of emergency assistance you might offer? Are there ways to share your best ideas with other areas?

I live far from the enormous efforts going on, but I am proud of all of the Kossacks' work to reeelect PBO.
