POLITICS-US: Cheney Tried to Stifle Dissent in Iran NIE
WASHINGTON, Nov 8 (IPS) - A National Intelligence Estimate (NIE) on Iran has been held up for more than a year in an effort to force the intelligence community to remove dissenting judgments on the Iranian nuclear programme, and thus make the document more supportive of U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney's militarily aggressive policy toward Iran, according to accounts of the process provided by participants to two former Central Intelligence Agency officers. So here we are once again with intelligence being (in the words of sir Richard Dearlove) "fixed around policy" Sigh... — Promoted by Migeru Read more... (17 comments, 703 words in story) by ceebs
Reading Colmans elegant rant earlier today got me to finally writing the end of something I've been meaning to finish off from my half written pile for ages, so here it is.

A couple of weeks ago I suggested a diary that asks the small questions. We spend much time discussing the large questions and often start off with a quite technical discussion on a subject.

I have been waiting for a Sunday when there was a diary since that appeared technical enough to start this regular series off (thanks Migeru) ;-)
So please ask any questions that you want for the community to answer. No question to insignificant, or simple. There will be no answers of Look it up on google. Read more... (103 comments, 164 words in story) by ceebs
A few days ago I was wandering the aisles of a local bookshop, looking for something to stimulate me, and keep my mind moving when I came across a fairly weighty tome full of diagrams and equations hoping to describe the state of physics. Thinking that there was probably a wealth of resource on here I asked for an opinion, and was pointed in another direction by the resident experts.
This got me thinking. In this community there are a variety of people with a variety of specialisations, they will have a selection of books that they think will serve as either a good introduction to their subjects, or will be a challenge to people who have started out on their subject and want something that will stretch them further. So the question is, What are your recomendations for the polymaths library? Read more... (18 comments, 324 words in story) |
