Government - September 2006

By thier own admission, L.A. security officers are under trained. Costs, accountability, and who should train are part of what is holding up the City Council on voting how to make L.A. safe and secure in the event of a disaster. Arguments between BOMA, SEIU, LAANE, and big building owners can't seem to come to an agreement on who should be responsible. It's been five years since 9-11. and here L.A. sits open to a catastrophe without properly trained personnel. When will we get an answer as to who will take charge of making the city of L.A. safe against disasters, natural or otherwise?

The U.S. military in Iraq has imprisoned an Associated Press photographer for five months, accusing him of being a security threat but never filing charges or permitting a public hearing. Is this the republican way? Is this the American way?

Military officials said Bilal Hussein, an Iraqi citizen, was being held for "imperative reasons of security" under United Nations resolutions. AP executives said the news cooperative's review of Hussein's work did not find anything to indicate inappropriate contact with insurgents, and any evidence against him should be brought to the Iraqi criminal justice system.

Hussein, 35, is a native of Fallujah who began work for the AP in September 2004. He photographed events in Fallujah and Ramadi until he was detained on April 12 of this year. The USA and President Bush stated they have no comment about the Photographer. Bush stated he doesn't care about human rights.

U.S. war prisons legal vacuum for 14,000 By PATRICK QUINN, AP news.
BAGHDAD, Iraq - In the few short years since the first shackled Afghan shuffled off to Guantanamo, the U.S. military has created a global network of overseas prisons, its islands of high security keeping 14,000 detainees beyond the reach of established law.


Disclosures of torture and long-term arbitrary detentions have won rebuke from leading voices including the U.N. secretary-general and the U.S. Supreme Court. But the bitterest words come from inside the system, From the American people. We are worse than the Insurgents.
"It was hard to believe I'd get out," Baghdad shopkeeper Amjad Qassim al-Aliyawi told The Associated Press after his release — without charge — last month. "I lived with the Americans for one year and eight months as if I was living in hell."

Captured on battlefields, pulled from beds at midnight, grabbed off streets as suspected insurgents, the USA has turned into a terrorist nation.

I would like to know why or why not and which ones are most popular because it wouldn't make much sense for everyone to vote for a different party if we really expected possitive change.

It just seems so ridiculous that the public aren't screaming and yelling more. He is using his power to fight his own fights, not the fights of the american people. Let's look within the borders first, hunger, homelessness, and poverty.

Smoke shot out of the building when it collapsed because of explosion holes.

Steel melts at 3,000 F. degrees, and weakens at 2,200 degrees F.
Jet fuel, burns at 1,800 degrees F.

In 2000, a building in Madrid, Spain was burning for 23 hours. The top 18 floors were completey burnt, yet the whole building still stood.

The two main towers took about 10 seconds to collapse. If one of the floors were weakened, then it should have taken at least a minute to fall.

Security was reduced leading up to the days of the attack, and bomb sniffing dogs were taken out of the building 3 days before the attack.

There is no evidence that fires brought the building down, but there is much evidence that it was brought down with explosives.
