Lucia Whalen did not describe the suspects as "black" in her 911 call. The audio is here.

So, when he was dispatched, Crowley did not have the information that the "suspects" were black men.

But he wrote this on his report:

When I arrived at 17 Ware street I radioed ECC and asked that they have the caller meet me at the front door to this residence. SNIP . As I reached the door, a female voice called out to me. I turned and looked in the direction of the voice and observed a white female, later identified as Lucia Whalen. Whalen, who was standing on the sidewalk in front of the residence, held a wireless telephone in her hand and told me that it was she who called. She went on to tell me that the observed what appeared to be two black males with backpacks on the porch of 17 Ware street.

Did Lucia Whalen tell him in person that the suspects were "black men"?

Citizens employ you and pay your salary to protect them. To prevent crimes. To find the culprits of crimes that you could not prevent and to bring these culprits to justice. The public expects you to carry out these duties in a lawful and humanitarian way. Do you understand what that means? You cannot stop and harass a black guy for jumping a red signal on his way to see his dying mother-in-law in a hospital. You cannot shoot someone who surrendered and who is in your custody in his back and kill him. You cannot beat a 16-year old black girl to pulp when the person you are looking for is an old white prostitute.

Amazing. A very eloquent statement from former speaker of the house, Newt Gingrich:

there is no place for abuse in what must be considered the family of man. There is no place for torture and arbitrary detention. There is no place for forced confessions.

Stunning. He continued:

the roots of American rule of law go back more than 700 years, to the signing of the Magna Carta. The foundation of American values, therefore, is not a passing priority or a temporary trend.

Wow. He.did.not.mince.his.words. What are the right wing torture apologists going to say now?

A photo of President Obama put up to celebrate the President's day at the Peterson Air Force Base Commissary was taken down after "customers complained".

President Barack Obama's picture was removed this week from a Presidents Day sign at the Peterson Air Force Base commissary after customers complained that the image did not fit the holiday commemorating the birthdays of past presidents George Washington and Abraham Lincoln.

You would think hundreds of military personnel complained and that they reasonably objected to the photo of the "current" president being up instead of the photos of Washington and Lincoln. Or something like that. You would be wrong.

He did it, just signed the first executive order. It keeps lobbyists out of the administration and freezes pay for several WH officials.

President Barack Obama's first public act in office Wednesday was to institute new limits on lobbyists in his White House and to freeze the salaries of high-paid aides, in a nod to the country's economic turmoil.

Watch out for the order to appear here soon, at the WH website.

I have to say I am not surprised. Mockain campaign just released another version of the ridiculous "The One" ad for the web and it goes over the top. It is blatantly racist. There is a parade of white girls oozing stupid like "what I really like about him is that he has soft eyes" and comparing him to Bono. At the end a guy shows an Obama button says "Hot chicks dig Obama".

This should be BREAKING NEWS but haven't seen it diaried yet.

There was a conference call yesterday between Obama aides and other party leaders in which it was announced that Hillary will deliver the key note address at the convention on Tuesday in prime time.

A top Obama aide told party leaders in a conference call last night that Clinton has accepted the offer to be the featured prime-time Tuesday night speaker, a high-profile slot that some of Clinton's own people have floated in recent days

UPDATE: From Deoliver47 in the comments: Now also reported on The Page

UPDATE 2: Terry McAuliffe hinted at this on Morning Joe this Monday.

Yesterday's diary about Bush 41's letter to Wilson

Didn't catch it all, but the letter said something along these lines:

Dear Joe,
I have read and agree with most of your article. I hope Saddam backs down this time.... Further, you know that I have a lot of respect for you...
Sd
George H. W. Bush

UPDATE: From Blitzer's transcripts:

"Dear Joe: I read your fascinating article, and I agree with a lot of it. I am not sure Saddam Hussein will back down in the face of this latest challenge, but I certainly hope he will. Further, let me conclude by saying thank you very much for your letter. Further, I have great respect for you and for your service to our country. I hope you know that. Warm regards, George Bush."

The Ambassador Strikes Back, Answers to the Right Wing Spin Machine

Ambassador Joseph Wilson fired back today at the Rightwing Spin Machine...

In a phone discussion early this afternoon, Wilson told The BRAD BLOG in no uncertain terms that "the President should fire Rove."...

As well, he told The BRAD BLOG that he planned to read a letter on air which he received from Bush's father, President George H.W. Bush shortly after an article of his was printed in the San Jose Weekly News, on October 13, 2002, in which Wilson related his concerns about the pitfalls of the approach to Iraq being taken at the time by both the U.N. and the U.S.

In reply to that article, Wilson said that the former President wrote that he had "read your article and I agree with a lot of it."

Additionally, Wilson explained, Bush 41's own National Security Advisor, Brent Scowcroft had contacted him to ask whether he "could walk on over to the White House with the letter" at the time. Which apparently he did.
