US Military Hid Airstrikes That Killed Dozens Of Civilians In Syria: Report
HomeWorldUS Military Hid Airstrikes That Killed Dozens Of Civilians In Syria: Report
The two back-to-back airstrikes near the town of Baghuz were ordered by a classified American special operations unit tasked with ground operations in Syria, according to the report.
WorldReutersUpdated: November 14, 2021 2:15 pm IST
A US Air Force bobmber is seen at Al Udeid Air Base, Doha, Qatar.
Washington:
The US military covered up 2019 airstrikes in Syria that killed up to 64 women and children, a possible war crime, during the battle against Islamic State, the New York Times reported on Saturday.
The newspaper said that U.S. Central Command, which oversaw U.S. air operations in Syria, acknowledged the strikes for the first time this week and said they were justified.
In a statement on Saturday, Central Command reiterated the account it gave the newspaper that 80 people were killed in the strikes including 16 ISIS fighters and four civilians. The military said it was unclear if the other 60 people were civilians, partly because women and children could have been combatants.
In Saturday's statement, the military said the strikes were "legitimate self-defense," proportional and that "appropriate steps were taken to rule out the presence of civilians."
"We abhor the loss of innocent life and take all possible measures to prevent them. In this case, we self-reported and investigated the strike according to our own evidence and take full responsibility for the unintended loss of life," Central Command said.
The number of civilians among the 60 fatalities could not be determined because "multiple armed women and at least one armed child were observed" in video of the events, it said, adding that the majority of the 60 were likely combatants.
Central Command said the strikes took place while Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) were under heavy fire and in danger of being overrun and the SDF had reported the area clear of civilians.
The Defense Department's inspector general launched an inquiry into the March 18, 2019, incident, but its report was ultimately "stripped" of any mention of the bombing and a thorough, independent probe never took place, according to the Times. The newspaper said its report was based on confidential documents and descriptions of classified reports, as well as interviews with personnel directly involved.
An Air Force lawyer present in the operations center at the time believed the strikes were possible war crimes and later alerted the Defense Department's inspector general and the Senate Armed Services Committee when no action was taken, the Times said.

Micheal Jackson Death A Hoax?
By RouteBot May 13, 2010 3 mins read
Micheal Jackson fans have been split 50/50 on whether or not that they feel the late pop star is actually dead or not! Some of his fans are convinced he is thanks to a Larry King interview with a supposed best friend of Micheal Jackson, Dave Dave (who we've never heard of), who claims that the star was like a father to him and took him in after a tragic burn accident during the eighties.
The evidence is quite strong to suggest that the star could be masquerading as "Dave Dave". Have a look at the interview.
Myself, i'm not convinced, but it is compelling. Dave tells of how he would regularly visit Michaels house and enjoy video games, which, in Dave's opinion, was quite rare for Micheal, which we know thanks to countless court cases, that it is nothing out of the ordinary, quite the opposite. Not to mention the (some say purpose built) never-land ranch in the back garden. And no disrespect to Michael, there is nothing quite like a death to clear one's debts.
On-top-of the chilling sound of Dave's voice when he begins to speak, which, lets face it if you had your eyes closed could quite easily be him. The other explanation is that Dave is Micheal's friend and Micheal is in fact dead.
But i can't shake (and i'm almost embarrassed to suggest because it's so far fetched) the feeling that some-one out there, some obsessed fan, has tried to leak and instigate the rumour and have a few sick minute's of fame buy sticking on his best Michael Jackson voice and leading us to believe he could be him. Make up your own mind. I think not.

API Reference

md-virtual-repeat specifies an element to repeat using virtual scrolling.

Virtual repeat is a limited substitute for ng-repeat that renders only
enough dom nodes to fill the container and recycling them as the user scrolls.
Arrays, but not objects are supported for iteration.
Track by, as alias, and (key, value) syntax are not supported.

Usage

    <hljs lang="html">
<md-virtual-repeat-container>

Hello {{i}}!

</md-virtual-repeat-container>

<md-virtual-repeat-container md-orient-horizontal>

Hello {{i}}!

</md-virtual-repeat-container>
</hljs>

        Attributes

      Parameter
      Type
      Description

          md-item-size

number

number

The height or width of the repeated elements (which
    must be identical for each element). Optional. Will attempt to read the size
    from the dom if missing, but still assumes that all repeated nodes have same
    height or width.

          md-extra-name

string

string

Evaluates to an additional name to which
    the current iterated item can be assigned on the repeated scope. (Needed
    for use in md-autocomplete).

          md-on-demand

boolean

boolean

When present, treats the md-virtual-repeat argument
    as an object that can fetch rows rather than an array.
    NOTE: This object must implement the following interface with two (2) methods:
    getItemAtIndex: function(index) -> item at that index or null if it is not yet
        loaded (It should start downloading the item in that case).
    getLength: function() -> number The data legnth to which the repeater container
        should be sized. Ideally, when the count is known, this method should return it.
        Otherwise, return a higher number than the currently loaded items to produce an
        infinite-scroll behavior.

Sergey Shidlovsky accuses, pastor Sunday Adelaja in a lie
Sergey Shidlovsky To the editors of our portal received a letter of the press service of the international interfaith "Movement of the seekers of God." In it the leader of the movement Sergei Shidlovsky throws in the address of pastor Sunday Adelaja serious charges. To avoid misunderstandings and confusion, we publish the text of the statement."I resent deeply the monstrous dimensions of lies of pastor Sunday Adelaja and arrogance with which he delivers, and how much he has accomplices. Up until now, I spoke about Sunday Adelaja only positive, because I always tried to think about all only good, to respect God's anointed, and because I am sincerely grateful to the Sunday for all the good things he has done for me and many others. But now, hearing terrible lie Sunday, I can't keep quiet anymore!I appeal to You, pastor Sunday: "When I was in prayerful solitude, GOD TOLD ME to REBUKE YOU!" Therefore, I declare to the world that the company "kings capital" started Sunday Adelaja, I'm not talking about the legal basis, and about the beginning of the company's activity in the Church "Embassy of God", and about her spiritual covering. He's the only one in fact, she was headed and truly controlled. The rest of the employees of the company were as puppets.I am shocked by how pastor Sunday Adelaja is trying to hide his involvement! Know and heard by thousands of people! I personally attended many of the meetings, when pastor Sunday Adelaja not only urged all to carry money is in "kings capital", but mockingly laughed over those who haven't done so already! I personally sat in the hall, when he was explaining to everyone how important it is to take out a loan under my apartment and put it in this company. Читать полностью -->

With fear and reproach
Fear before the society, modern culture and someone else's faith prevents domestic Orthodoxy in his missionary efforts.Boris FalicovThe Russian Orthodox Church led by Patriarch Kirill went to the missionary offensive. A skilled rhetorician and experienced preacher, the Patriarch stands at the stadiums, collecting the youth audience and trying to find common language with her.Cyril is well aware that the future of the Church depends, will it be able to convey his teachings to a new generation.And true, to stay in the cultural ghetto and pray at the past, sighing on the irrevocable Holy Russia, is a dead end.But how is the Church the society, which it is the good news? Listening to the invective of other missionaries in his address, I understand that the submission of these painted in a very dark tone. Unwittingly the impression that these people look at contemporary culture and society as inveterate enemies of the Church who are dreaming, as if to destroy it. And other confessions and religions are represented for them the devious rivals, and only dreams of snatching simple souls and lead them into a maze of false beliefs.In many ways, these dark images - the result of too long in the ghetto, from which the Church just wants to escape. And they little untrue.Most of society sees it as the enemy (a handful of inveterate secularists do not count). Rather, it refers to him good-naturedly. Читать полностью -->
Russian society has found balance between stability and development, says Putin
The Chairman of the RF government Vladimir Putin believes that Russian society should develop not revolutionary, but evolutionary. He stated this today in St. Petersburg during the visit of the Museum of democracy in modern Russia named after Anatoly Sobchak.Before visiting the Museum Putin and Sobchak's widow Lyudmila Narusova and his daughter Ksenia Sobchak visited the grave of the first mayor of St. Petersburg at St. Nicholas cemetery and laid to the monument of a bouquet of red roses, ITAR-TASS reported."As for the current state of Affairs, if your definition of democracy such a method of government in which citizens have the opportunity to influence what is happening in the country, civil society in any country in virtue of their maturity selects this balance between stability and growth, which allows the country to go forward, but at the same time not to shake the society and not to scare the citizens of possible disasters," he said.According to Putin, "in Russia today, this balance is selected, and its violation is fraught with the fact that we are either going to stagnate or we will be destroyed".At the same time, Putin said, the world and our country are constantly changing, and we must be able to respond to these changes in order to be competitive.". .

How to Clean Shitake Mushrooms
Techniques »
Mushroom »
Prep Time 10minutes
Total Time 10mins
Dave Beaulieu December 29th, 2011 2 comments
Despite a pretty strong distaste for mushrooms as a kid, in my adult years, I've really grown to love our fungi friends. There a broad diversity of types, that all have different flavors and textures…and of course the different varieties lend themselves to certain dishes. In this cooking video, I show you how to clean Shitake mushrooms, which are among my favorites. Shitakes are pretty widely available these days, and they have a stronger, more pungent flavor than some of the more common mushrooms like white button, Crimini, or Portobello. I also think they also have a chewier, more substantive texture, that I really love in some dishes. They are pretty easy to clean, you just need to know the techniques. Hope you find it helpful.
Shitakes are one of the few mushrooms that I don't use the stem. They tend to be very fibrous and woody, and never cook down to a tender tasty morsel
Easiest way to remove the stem is to tear it off, by pulling near the base, in the direction away from its natural growth. So if it leans toward you, just twist/bend away and it should pop right off. If needed you can always slice them off with a pairing knife.
I don't bother removing any gills from the mushroom cap; I also don't wash the mushrooms. If they look dirty, I just rub them down with a dry paper towel and call it good.
If you want to use the caps whole, you're good to go, but you can also slice or dice pretty easily.
As shitake mushrooms are pretty soft and flexible, you can stack the stemless caps on top of one another, and then cut them a couple at a time…saving yourself a bunch of time.
Hope you find this cooking technique useful, and check back for more How-To cooking tips.

White Woman Acquitted of Hate Crime After Using Racial Slurs, Slapping Black Car Salesman
Black History, According to White People
Thursday 5:00PM
Filed to:White justice
Screenshot: YouTube (ABC 13)
A pickup truck-driving white woman who "backhanded" a car salesman was cleared of ethnic intimidation charges on Monday after a judge ruled that slapping the shit out of a black man and calling him "nigger" isn't necessarily racist if she's upset about her trade-in value.
Kent County Circuit Judge Paul Sullivan acquitted 47-year-old Shelley Hueckel of ethnic intimidation but convicted the Nashville, Mich. woman on a misdemeanor assault and battery charge during a bench trial, M Live reports. Hueckel was accused of pimp-slapping Terrance Smith, a black car salesman, on April 24 when Smith violently attacked Hueckel's white privilege by giving her a less-than-ideal an offer for her 2005 Ford F-150.
I feel sorry for him.
My sympathy has nothing to do with him getting slapped at work. It's just obvious to me that Terrance Smith is an orphan because every black man in America knows that if you even think about putting your hands on a white woman—even in self-defense—you could face the death penalty. Fortunately, most of us have been equipped with something that allows us to handle this kind of situation.
That's why we have cousins.
Well, most of us.
I knew Terrance was cousin-less when I read M Live's report on the initial incident:
When he told her she could get $3,500 for her trade, she said she had been offered $5,500 at another dealership. Her husband said they could have gotten $5,100 at another, Smith said.
Smith said the woman was upset so he didn't respond. She told him to get his "'scamming black a— back inside and get my title,'" he said.
He walked away. She followed him into his office. She backhanded him and repeated a racial slur, he said.
He said his glasses were knocked off when she struck him in the face. He stepped outside to get away from her but she came out and continued to use the racial epithet, a Lowell police report showed.
A salesman in an adjoining office told police that "the customer was arguing and Mr. Smith handed the title to her and 'she just started swinging on him.' Mr. Smith backed away from her and went outside," Officer James Reamsma wrote in the report.
When officers initially contacted Slapping Shelley, she first denied calling Smith any names before admitting that she may have bumped him and the words "lazy nigger" may have slipped out. Prosecutors charged her with ethnic intimidation under Michigan's hate crime legislation, which carries a two-year sentence and states:
(1) A person is guilty of ethnic intimidation if that person maliciously, and with specific intent to intimidate or harass another person because of that person's race, color, religion, gender, or national origin, does any of the following:
(a) Causes physical contact with another person.
(b) Damages, destroys, or defaces any real or personal property of another person.
(c) Threatens, by word or act, to do an act described in subdivision (a) or (b), if there is reasonable cause to believe that an act described in subdivision (a) or (b) will occur.
Ignoring the actual words in the statute, Judge Sullivan fashioned a Caucasian legal loophole out of thin air. The judge explained that Huekler hit the cousin-deficient Smith because she was angry at the low trade-in offer and, despite her use of racial slurs, the incident had nothing to do with race. I'm sure you've been there. I can't tell you how many times I've knocked the shit out of a salesperson and screamed "cracker-ass cracker" when they told me the price of an item. They always forgive me.
Smith, however, was "stunned and upset" by the decision.
While this story is depressing, it presents the perfect opportunity to present my new business venture: GoCousinMe
GoCousinMe is a secure platform that allows people who have an overabundance of cousins to share their familial wealth with cousin-impaired individuals like Terrance Smith. For a small processing fee, GoCousinMe will connect the kin-less with temporary relatives in your area.
GoCousinMe is not limited to cousins. We also have aunts for sweet potato pie-related emergencies; uncles for those who hate sipping brown liquor alone; and even premium-priced grandmothers that come with pocketbook candy and bible verses.
Hueckel will not be sentenced until Feb, 11 on the misdemeanor charges, which carry a maximum punishment of 93 days in jail and a $500 fine.
But Terrance, if you're reading this, we are willing to help you get the justice you deserve. Just go to GoCousinMe and enter the discount code JUSTICE4SHELLEY to receive half-off any two female cousins already equipped with fighting ability and scrunchies to put their hair in a pre-fight ponytail.
And if anyone asks, just say that you were returning her down payment.

The DNA/The FBI/DB Cooper...Whats The deal?
Pages: 1 ... 10 11 [12] 13 Go Down
Author Topic: The DNA/The FBI/DB Cooper...Whats The deal? (Read 47698 times)
Re: The DNA/The FBI/DB Cooper...Whats The deal?
So Smith you are the sole source on dna being collected from the tie clasp vs tie itself. You say your source was a phone call from Ckret. This is all very strange since Ckret never shared this with the rest of the world.
It appears that I am just a Super-Dooper Investigative Reporter! Wow. I've been sitting on a SCOOP for seven years and didn't know it!
Thanks, Georger, for helping me realize how smart I truly am...
Of course you are the only source for the FBI sample being taken from the tie clasp. Everywhere else Ckret said the sample comes from the tie - he never mentioned it coming from the clasp. The source being touch dna is also new. If you and Larry are correct, assuming you copied his remarks accurately, then that makes Blevins' 'eipthelial' cells he got from Porteous and the FBI email, wrong.
It probably can't be both touch dna and epithelial cells.
Weren't you one of the three remaining smart-asses in the last year at Dropzone that got owners to close the Dropzone thread down? You, Blevins, and Weber? Everyone else had abandoned Dropzone. Maybe you will accomplish the same thing here?
KIRO vs KING
Yup. Confusion.
Spoke at length with "Linda" at KING. She's been around a while - 1992-something. Knows the case. Knows her archives, too. Doesn't remember any broadcast about Cooper and cigarette butts. Remembers Chris Ingalls's initial broadcast in 2003 about DNA. Source of DNA not disclosed, however.
But a new FBI agent was identified. SA Charles Mindigo. He was quoted at length. He was not a PIO, apparently. Never heard of him before.
I also spoke with Sharon at KING. Sharon was not as golden-an-oldie as Linda, but she was very diligent. Spoke with her colleagues at length. Their archives are not as extensive as KING. KIRO only went to 2004 with extra searching. Normal search only goes to 2008. They found nothing on cigarette butts and DB Cooper. Sharon knows the case fairly well, (for a millennial). Remembers Marla!
I've discussed this broadcast business with Ron and Pat at length over the years. They are adamant about seeing a cigarette butt broadcast in 2001-2002.
I also spoke with these people and Ingalls returned my call - last Friday. Extensive searches were done on Friday. Chris mailed me all relevant transcripts done at KING on Cooper dna after Chris interviewed SA Charles Mindigo. KING-5 can't find any program like you describe the Forman's report seeing, and so far, no program done by Mr. Bounds on that topic.
The issue of course is the sources you cite and the credibility of those sources and the info you present.
Maybe JT or Jo Weber or Blevins saw the program and can confirm?

What has got you so interested in the saliva DNA, Georger? You really seem to have your knickers in a twist, here.
I find that very, um, interesting....
Your interest is now, um, my interest.

DNA on clasp
I just received an email from Chris Ingalls at KING 5 TV. He confirms that he was told by Larry Carr in 2007 that a DNA sample was retrieved from the tie and clasp, as Carr reported to me. This seems to contradict Georger, and more importantly puts G in a harsh light because Georger has just posted saying that he has had recent correspondence with Mr. Ingalls, but fails to mention the clasp.
The following is from Chris Ingalls:
"...The bottom line is that we have not reported that saliva was taken from the cigarette butts.
In 2003, I reported that a weak sample of DNA was retrieved from Cooper and it was now considered somewhat usable for ruling out a suspect.
In 2007, I reported that Agent Carr said that this DNA came from the tie clasp and tie clip recovered on the plane. (emphasis added, BAS.)
I don't know that I ever reported it – but I have been told by at least a couple of FBI agents that the cigarette butts were lost at some point.
News Reporter"
Chris just confirmed that he spoke with georger, and had also interview Charles Mindigo back in 2003. He described Mindigo as the "case agent." I've never heard the name before.
OOPS. Mindigo was SAC Seattle.
« Last Edit: December 08, 2015, 06:02:31 AM by Shutter »
Nothing I have said puts me in a harsh light. That's absurd, Mr. Drama Queen Smith. Show any public statement Carr made where he says the dna came off the clasp? That is all I have been saying. It's odd Carr would give out one story publicly then turn around and give out another story to you and King-5. Why didn't Carr or you post this information to Dropzone? Shutter says he saw it only on your website at Mountain News.
Likewise, I have the transcripts Chris Ingalls sent me. Neither transcript mentions tie clasp. The 2007 transcript Ingalls did with Carr says only: FOR THE FIRST TIME -- THE F-B-I CONFIRMS THAT HAS BEEN ABLE TO DEVELOP A D-N-A SAMPLE FROM EVIDENCE COLLECTED FROM THE TIE IN 2001. The 2003 Ingalls transcript says nothing.
So I guess Ingalls has some other story he failed to mention to me and failed to copy to me, he is now citing to you?
Has it occurred to you Carr might be wrong?
For the first time I am now even wondering about the viability of the FBI partial profile if as Smith reports they took the sample from the tie clasp - that is the last place most people I know would sample. Again, Carr never said one word about tie clasp on DZ; he always spoke of the sample taken from the tie. This lead to the discussion one would expect namely, 'did the sample come from the neck area on the tie', which was strengthened by Blevins' revelation that the FBI sample was based on "epithelial" cells. Th neck is a well known source for such cells. Moreover the obvious place to sample is the neck area of the tie where the tie rubbed against the wearer's neck. Cells found on a clasp could be anyone's! Multiple people handled it. Presumably only one person wore the tie during its last adventure in the world and the wearer's cells would be embedded in the underside wove of the fabric where there was contact with the wearer's skin.
I wonder what Tom Kaye knows about this? There is nothing about the FBI dna sample on his website. And Tom is well enough versed in this subject to have an opinion.
How far can one go on so little information? Not very far. The Cooper case has turned into a roadshow and a carnival. Bring in the clowns.
Listen up guys!
You need to have a civil disagreement, or nothing!
Bruce, please don't stoop to using Blevin's tactics by posting people's names who don't wish to have them made public. (regardless to it being in a book). I seen an edit made 14 minutes after the original post was made. I don't know if the full name was there or not. this occurred after I shut down for the evening.
I received a complaint/threat that I don't appreciate what so ever! resolve your differences in a civil manner.
Let's summarise: The claim that the Cooper cigarette butts were processed for dna, remains unproven. The claim that the tie clasp provided a positive result, vs. the tie itself, seems to be corroborated by Chris Ingalls at KING-5 in private conversation he had with Larry Carr? But so far, there is no instance of Carr saying this publicy, for example at Dropzone. It would be interesting to know where Tom Kaye stands in this matter given his conversations with Carr.
It's worth noting that if the FBI were to send some knowledgeable person to this website to answer questions, perhaps none of this speculation-discussion would be necessary.
Why does any of this matter? It matters because we would like to know who Cooper was. Cooper's personal genetic info might go some distance to identifying who Cooper was, and was-not. For example, Flo said Cooper looked Latin to her; the bulk of suspects suggested by the public on forums so far have all been non-Latin. Another witness said he had the impression the FBI was concentrating on suspects from the Eugene Oregon area. And we know almost nothing about how any dna profile the FBI has influenced their search for DB Cooper except that the FBI says their profile can exclude people and people including Christiansen, Weber, Peterson, etal have all been excluded on genetic basis alone.
In addition, we know literally nothing about the FBI's pursuit of genetic data in the Cooper case. We hear terms like 'partial profile', 'multiple tests', 'epithelial cells', 'touch dna off the clip', 'collected dna from ... in 2000/2001', 'can rule people out but not people in', et cetera ... but we have no official history of the FBI's actual pursuit of genetic evidence in the Cooper case, a pursuit which began later in the case because this science was not available in the 1970s when the hijacking happened.
I think these are questions we all would like answers to.
I do not understand what is going on. Please clarify.
As for posting people's names, here is what I have done recently regarding the DNA investigation:
I talked with Chris Ingalls and posted his name in full, along with part of an email he sent to me explaining his involvement with developing stories for KING TV on DB Cooper and DNA. Chris is after all, a public figure and TV broadcaster. At the least, he deserves attribution for his work. Further, he never asked to be off-the-record, nor asked for confidentiality. In my view, whenever a public figure feels a need for an elevated degree of privacy, I feel it is their responsibility to ask for it, not mine.
Because of the confusion over whether a story on cigarettes has been broadcast or not, I contacted the archival departments at both KING TV and KIRO TV. In doing so, I spoke with individuals there and posted their first names to give a measure of clarity to who was saying what about whom.
No one has complained to me about that usage, as far as I know.
To be compared to Bobby Blevs is bizarre. Really?
As for threats, I have not made any to anyone, nor have I received any. As for ridicule, well, it's just been another day in the office so to speak...
Bruce wrote: As for ridicule, well, it's just been another day in the office so to speak...
Worn soles and thick skins. Long live feet on the street investigative reporters.
New Lead for DNA
I'm expanding my search for information on the sources of DNA available to the Norjak investigation. Next up is contacting the FBI Forensic Sciences Research and Training Center in Quantico, VA directly. After reading Ayn's last email, the Seattle FO is clearly no longer an option for us.
Also, I'm in contact with another author who is investigating the FBI's crime lab, John F Kelley. He's co-author of Tainted Evidence: Inside the Scandals at the FBI Crime Lab. What I've read so far ain't a pretty picture. My understanding is that up to 20 percent of the findings at the FBI lab are suspect due to faulty supervision, mishandling of evidence, sloppy documentation, malfeasance and corruption.
So, get ready all you FBI apologists out there! I'm sure I'll have plenty of stuff to put you in a tizzy.
What would the partial CODIS profile the FBI says it has, tell us about Cooper's physical traits?

The Snooper's Charter again! :'(
The Tory Government, have republished the Snooper's Charter, 😥 changed some of the words and it has been inching towards the House of Commons via three parliamentary committees of experts, all of whom have criticised the Bill as it stands. The Labour Party plans to abstain on the 2nd reading, and explains why here. The campaigning academic, Paul Bernal, has written a blog, welcoming Andy Burnham's press release as the most pro-privacy comments made by a Labour Shadow Home Secretary and makes the following comments.
He i.e. Paul argues
for more parliamentary time,
this is supported by the three parliamentary scrutiny committees and the independent Reviewer of Terrorism Legislation
and the recent example of the Digital Economy Act, which even 5½ years later hasn't been implemented because it's unimplementable, partly due to inadequate parliamentary scrutiny; it got 2 days in the Commons
for improvements in the judicial oversight regime
Currently they propose that judges can only review procedure, not look for adequate probable cause
In the light of the fact that defence of the State's economic interests is grounds for surveillance, Labour shouldn't be giving powers of this nature to a Tory Home Secretary, they'll be used to attack the right to orqanise
opposition to mass/bulk surveillance
it's not acceptable or real to state that it's not surveillance until a person as opposed to a machine reads it
recognition of the difficulty in implementing internet call records
This is the basis for extending snooping to one's internet browsing habits, it's technologically hard to do and at the core of the additonal overreach. The clauses are the most criticised by the parliamentary scrutiny committees.
a reassessment of the position and greater clarity on encryption (bans & backdoors)
Are they trying to ban end-to-end encryption?
Or mandate the ability to make/provide backdoors
denying encryption to ordinary citizens won't deny it to the baddies, be they UK based or not
working with science and industry
most computer scientists oppose the concepts expressed in the IPBill. They argue it's dangerous to security and privacy
and will put UK industry at a competitive disadvantage to the rest of the world
protecting ordinary people
He finishes by calling on Labour to reject the argument that not passing a bad law would show it's weak on terrorism and other crime; we need privacy and encryption to be safe and there is no evidence that these
Burnham states in the press release,
Where I have potential disagreement with the Home Secretary is over the criteria for the use of the most intrusive powers. I have consistently made clear that I believe those powers should only be used in connection with the investigation of the most serious crime or to protect people in life-threatening situations. However, instead of tightening the criteria, this Bill appears to lower the threshold for their use and allow the authorities to access them in a much broader range of circumstances. This raises serious questions. To date, the Government has not adequately justified this significant extension of powers and we will be pressing them to do so.
"Another area of particular concern is the widening of access to Internet Connection Records to include information about websites accessed beyond those related to communications services and illegal material. Parliament will need to consider this and whether the powers in connection with their collection and use are proportionate and justified.
Three things which I want to add to the debate
They seems missed in the melee, is that defending the Nation's economic secuirty is reason to become the target of the intelligence services and whether they are planning to spy on German board rooms, or British Trade Unions doesn't matter, both are unacceptable.
The argument for more time to properly scrutinise the law has a huge historical precedent in that many, maybe even most anti-terrorist or defence of the realm act have been passed in a hurry and in retrospect are seen to be massive over-reaches, from the Prevention of Terrorism Act , to the US Patriot Act, via the Digital Economy Act, rapid legislation is poor and anti-democratic legislation.
This is the third attempt by the intelligence services to legalise their mass surveillance activities of the last 20 years. GCHQ had the arrogance to call one of their programmes, "Mastering the Internet". Why should they get a free pass?
The successful campaign to defend the FOIA shows the opposition can make a difference.

Ulema Council Withdraws Saturday's Strike Call
SRINAGAR — Mutahida Ulema Council (MUC) on Wednesday withdrew the shutdown call issued for Saturday in view of the request made by the Hurriyat Conference (M) chairman Mirwaiz Umar Farooq.
Grand Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam, who heads the Mutahida Ulema Council (MUC), said that the MUC has withdrawn weekend shutdown call.
"In view of the request made by Mirwaiz Umar Farooq to revoke the shutdown called on Saturday, we have decided to withdraw the shutdown call. There will be no shutdown on Saturday," said Mufti Nasir-ul-Islam. Earlier today, Mirwaiz had requested the MUC to withdraw the shutdown .
On Tuesday, the MUC had appealed people to observe a complete shutdown on 16th March (Saturday) in view of summoning of Mirwaiz to New Delhi by the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
On March 9, the NIA sent a notice to Mirwaiz Umar Farooq asking him to appear in person before the agency's court in New Delhi on March 11 in connection with a case filed into alleged funding of militancy in Kashmir.
The Mirwaiz, however, refused to fly to New Delhi citing "hostile security atmosphere".

6.6 QA: A time to recap and reflect
6.6 Q&A: A time to recap and reflect
Q: What exactly is Java?
Q: Is Java a true standard?
Q: Does Java have built-in support for Web services?
Q: What is an applet and how does it differ from an application?
Q: What is a JVM?
Q: What is J2EE?
Q: Is Java supported on Windows platforms?
Q: What is JSP?
Q: Are there free, server-side implementations of the Java platform?
Q: What is a Java application server?
A: Java is a platform-independent, highly object-oriented, third-generation programming language and software development methodology developed by Sun. Though its origins predate the advent of the Web, Java was introduced to the world in 1995 as a strategic technology for realizing dynamic, interactive Web applications.
A: Yes and no. It is not a bona fide industry standard maintained by a recognized standards organization. Instead, Sun still controls much of what happens to and with Java, though there is an egalitarian, open-to-all mechanism, known as the Java Community Process (JCP), where anybody can participate in the evolutionary process of Java. The Java specifications are also freely open to all and there are free, open-source reference implementations of these specifications. Consequently, a large and influential segment of the software development community, including those associated with powerful open -source movements such as Apache, is willing to treat Java as at least a de facto standard despite Sun s stewardship of it.
A: Yes. The latest version of the server-side Java specification, J2EE 1.4, includes extensive support for XML and Web services via a series of APIs for XML document parsing, SOAP-based XML document transmission, UDDI access, and RPC invocation with SOAP. All of these Web services " related APIs are packaged and available for free, along with other complementary software, such as user -interface creation technology JavaServer Faces (JCF), with the Java Web Services Developer Pack (Java WSDP) 1.2.
A: Java applications are conventional, stand-alone programs, installed and executed off a system s hard drive in the same way as applications developed with other languages "with one distinguishing feature being, however, that Java applications can be readily ported between vastly disparate systems. They could typically be invoked via a command-line instruction and, in common with other applications, will normally have unfettered access to the host system s resources (e.g., data files). Applets, though similar to applications, are not considered to run in stand-alone mode. Instead, an applet is a program that runs within a Web browser or an applet viewer and, moreover, has strictly limited access to host resources, in particular any kinds of files. An applet, as such, is meant to be nonmalicious at all costs. This intentional restricted access to host resources precludes the danger of applets being used to propagate viruses or worms.
A: Java applications as well as Java applets were said to execute on Java Virtual Machines (JVMs). A JVM is thus a run-time (or execution) environment. JVMs are implemented on various computing platforms, in particular Web browsers, and all popular operating systems ranging from mainframe z/OS to the Mac OS. Though the concept of JVMs is still very much a part of the Java culture, today JVMs are referred to as containers.
A: J2EE is the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition. A Java platform is said to consist of a JVM (or container) and a series of standard libraries, which are referred to as the Java API. Today there are three Java 2 platforms, with J2EE being one of them. The other two are J2SE, the standard edition of the platform targeted at client-side implementations, and J2ME, a micro-edition meant for embedded applications in devices such as cell phones and TV set-top boxes.
A: Most certainly . Though Microsoft, in a fit of pique with Sun related to Java licensing, has claimed that it would no longer be including a built-in Java run-time environment within Windows, starting in early 2004, free versions of the necessary Windows software are readily and conveniently available from java.sun.com and www.java.com.
A: JavaServer Pages (JSPs) decouple the user-interface aspects of Web applications from that of content generation. JSP thus enables Web developers to change the presentation layout of a Web page or the contents of that Web page independently of each other. JSPs are somewhat analogous to the now relatively common Microsoft Active Server Pages (ASPs). The big difference, as ever, is that ASPs are Microsoft IIS "centric, whereas JSPs are meant to work with any Web server. JSPs are built on top of Java servlet technology "where a servlet is in essence a server-side applet. JSPs neatly demarcate HTML from servlet code.
A: Most definitely. So-called reference implementations of the Java platforms are available from java.sun.com for Windows, Solaris, and RedHat Linux platforms. Other vendors , such as H-P and IBM, provide platform-specific implementations for their particular systems. In addition, Sun provides an entry-level version of its Sun ONE Application Server on a no-charge basis, as does a company called JBoss (www.jboss.org). No-charge, open-source Java-related software is also readily available from Apache.
A: A Java application server, which typically refers to a commercial product, though the no-charge JBoss offering is also called an application server, is a value-added, platform-specific implementation of a particular J2EE specification. Commercial application servers offer extensive load-balancing, failover, and system clustering support as well as optimized drivers for specific commercial database systems. They include back-end connectors (or adapters) to existing applications as well as graphical application deployment and management capabilities.

Polls suggest parliamentary majority within reach for France's Macron
By Michel Rose, Brian Love
PARIS (Reuters) - A parliamentary majority looks to be within reach for centrist French President Emmanuel Macron in next month's parliamentary election, opinion polls indicated on Thursday, as his cross-partisan government held its first meeting.

Macron's election as president on May 7 smashed a decades-old left-right grip on politics and has left the conservative Republicans (LR) and the Socialists in disarray. But he needs a win for his fledgling party in legislative elections to implement his policies.
An OpinionWay/ORPI poll found Macron's Republic on the Move (REM) set to win 27 percent of votes in the first round of the National Assembly election on June 11, ahead of all other parties.
It projected that, after the second round on June 18, Macron's party would have secured 280-300 of the 535 mainland seats in the lower house. When overseas territories are included, 289 seats are needed for an absolute majority.
Two other polls published on Thursday by Harris Interactive had Macron's party leading with 32 percent, up three points since May 11 and six points since May 7.
But another survey sounded a cautionary note, finding that only 45 percent of voters had confidence in Macron and even fewer in Prime Minister Edouard Philippe - the lowest ratings for French leaders starting their terms in over 20 years.
Those present at the cabinet meeting, the first since ministers were appointed on Wednesday, included economy and budget ministers from the right, a TV environmentalist put in charge of ecology and energy, and a veteran Socialist who was defense minister in the last government and is now in charge of Europe and foreign policy.

Macron's party likely to win absolute majority in French parliamentary vote: poll
"Having different political backgrounds will not stop us working intelligently for France, this was the first message the president wanted to convey," government spokesman Christophe Castaner told a news conference.
LABOUR REFORM THE PRIORITY
He said labor reform, highly controversial in France, "must be launched very quickly". Macron's plans, which he wants to carry out using executive decrees, include tackling unemployment of 9.6 percent by making hiring and firing easier.
Philippe, a conservative who was de facto excluded from the Republicans for joining the government, told France Inter radio he would campaign to help secure an REM majority.
Republicans campaign leader Francois Baroin voiced his anger at the defections of Philippe, Economy and Finance Minister Bruno Le Maire and Budget Minister Gerald Darmanin, saying: "This is not the spoils of war, it's a hostage-taking."
Philippe said that, despite its diversity, the cabinet was built to last, but his assertion is likely to be tested over the coming weeks and months.
Slideshow ( 5 images )
Several ministers, including Le Maire, have said they will stand in the parliamentary election, and Philippe confirmed that they would have to quit the government if they lost.
In addition, the four ministers who have held cabinet positions in the past will have to learn to work closely with colleagues who have come from civil society.
One controversial appointment was that of Nicolas Hulot, a well-known TV environmentalist who has no background as a politician despite having advised several previous governments.
News of his appointment on Wednesday sent shares in the dominant state power utility EDF sharply down amid concerns that he might want to force the pace of change in France's nuclear-dominated energy mix.
But Castaner said Hulot would have to stick to Macron's program, adding: "A minister doesn't set conditions for a president or a prime minister."
Macron spoke with Russian President Vladimir Putin by phone on Thursday, and will on Friday travel to visit French troops stationed in Mali.

In the final event, two Buddhist teachers, John Peacock and Stephen Batchelor, challenged all the contemporary understandings of Buddhism. It's not a religion, they insisted, the very word "Buddhism" was invented in the 19th century by westerners who were trying to force it into a Christian model. The Buddha never intended to found a religion, he was deeply critical of the Brahminic rituals of his time. What he proposed was a set of strategies to question experience and live ethically. But within a few centuries of his death, Buddhism had become a religion full of rituals and dominated by institutions in the many cultures where it spread.
Can anyone make sense of that? Let's assume that the Buddha was not intending to found a religion (nor was Jesus), and that it is possible to be a Buddhist without being "religious" - there's still a mighty contradiction here. First of all, we're told that the concept of "Buddhism" as a "religion" is the fault of 19th century Europeans. Then we're told that "within a few centuries of his death, Buddhism had become a religion." So which is it?
I suspect (though I could be wrong, since I know very little about the subject) that Buddhism as appropriated by Westerners in the 20th century and up to the present isn't really a "religion", but rather a form of therapy and self-hypnosis drawing on ideas and practices developed over the centuries by Buddhist monks (some of which might be traceable, in a shadowy way, to an historical "Buddha" - who presumably must have existed; after all, Karen Armstrong has written a "biography" of him). And it's tempting to contrast this pure, philosophical and mystical Buddhism with the divine pantheons, elaborate mythologies and reincarnated lamas that developed in many Buddhist countries. Tempting, but false; for the conclusion that should be drawn isn't that "religious" Buddhism is a degenerate form of an original non-religious philosophy, but rather that the Buddha's teaching turned out to be inadequate and had to be supplemented with all the usual paraphernalia of "religion" to make it work.
There's an important lesson here, but it's the opposite of the one that "sophisticated" (i.e. agnostic) religious apologists like Karen Armstrong tend to make. Religion is basically a placebo: it only works if you believe it, and the institutional and mythological undergirdings that sustain traditional religions are vital to its credibility. Strip them away, and you're left with little more than weak platitudes about "compassion". Armstrong claims that because all religions teach compassion, then compassion must be the core of all religious teaching. But that is reduce religion to ethics. Almost everyone accepts that it's possible to be ethical without being religious (it may even help); so there must be something else that explains the hold that religion continues to exert on most of the world's population. I would locate that something in the "extraneous" rituals, the untrue myths, the falsifiable truth-claims, the appeals to questionable authority. Religion is mainly about religion. Ethics, spirituality and cosmic awe (not to mention the actual ideas of the religion's founder) just occasionally come along for the ride.

Professor creates cybersecurity camp to inspire girls to choose STEM careers

Teaching via Zoom has had some unexpected benefits, college professor says, though robotics class is still a challenge. Her real passion is inspiring young women and girls to go into computer science.
TechRepublic's Karen Roby spoke with Dr. Pauline Mosley, assistant chair of Information Technology at the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems at Pace University, about getting girls interested in STEM careers and the challenges associated with teaching robotics via Zoom. The following is an edited transcript of their conversation.
SEE: Social engineering: A cheat sheet for business professionals (free PDF) (TechRepublic)
Pauline Mosley: Transitioning from face-to-face modality into a virtual modality has been challenging. However, it has been very, very rewarding. For example, this past semester, I taught a course called Web Design for Nonprofit Organizations, which was comprised of students from China, Russia, and Saudi Arabia. It was amazing how we were able to, through Zoom, still get the work done. It actually brought another dimension to the course because students now had to really see how to work in international modality, with different time zones. So, it became more real-world, that we normally wouldn't have gotten that experience in a regular traditional face-to-face modality. That was an unexpected richness that actually happened to the course that I'm thrilled [with]. It's a lifetime experience that the students actually encountered, being able to work with students, meet with other cultures all over the world, and work with a community partner, and at the end, produce a product that was viable and had some sort of functionality for the community partner.
Karen Roby: With the work you do there, utilizing robotics to teach problem solving and computing and cybersecurity concepts, that's really important work right now. Talk a little bit about the courses that you're teaching and how you're bringing robotics into the classroom.
Pauline Mosley: Right now, I'm teaching Introduction to Cybersecurity on the master's program. This is a course that is a first-level entry course for our master's students. Because this is a new program right now, I cannot really bring the robotics into this, because of the virtual modality that we're teaching in. However, this course, what I am most passionate about is the young women that are in this program and trying to mentor them. Because as we know, women in the STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) and particularly the cybersecurity fields, are very, very low, statistics are less than 2%.
SEE: 10 STEM projects to try out at home (TechRepublic)
Another major component of what I do is, I run a GenCyber camp, which has been in existence for three years. This year, we were funded again by the National Science Foundation and the National Security Agency. But unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we had to table that until next year. This camp is targeted toward high school students, and it also works with the university students. The Pace University students are counselors and mentors, and they actually help run and facilitate the camp, which is open to high school students throughout the metropolitan area. The intent of this camp is to do a few things: one, to raise awareness of cybersecurity; two, to engage students in cybersecurity; and three, it's also to lessen the gap in cybersecurity for women and minorities. This is a camp, it's a one-week camp, that's housed on the Pleasantville (NY) campus. We're hoping to run this camp next year, virtually, until COVID is abated, and then we can resume back to face-to-face modality.
Now, the other robotic courses that I teach, I love robotics because robotics, the land, air and sea, in addition to them being very cool, they're also very intriguing and very engaging, and they pique students' interest. I utilize these robotic tools as really methodologies to promote critical thinking and problem solving within the classroom. That's one of the things that I'm wrestling with right now, because my Problem Solving Using Lego Robotics course, which I normally would teach in a face-to-face modality, and the students would have drones and the students would have Spheros and water robotics, and learn how these devices interconnect into what we call a piconet, and talk about the security of how these devices can communicate from one to the other, and the layer of security that is needed in order to make these communications secure, we cannot do at this time. I am in the process of brainstorming, because that's what we do in Seidenberg. We're problem solvers, so I'm brainstorming with my team to find out how we can still immerse the students in this really kinesthetic learning experience environment, and still run this in a remote virtual setting.
I look at this as a great opportunity to expand the modalities and the pedagogy of how we normally teach programming, combined with robotics, and say, "How can we now deliver this content in a remote virtual setting?" We're toying with some ideas right now as to how we're going to do this. Very exciting, too, we have a couple of pilots we'll be running early next year to see how this really works. Can we still engage, equip, and inspire, and engage students in a remote setting, still with robotics, remotely? That's on the horizon for us, and this is cutting-edge because we've never, at least I've never, done remote training with robotics from afar.
SEE: International STEM science fair goes virtual due to pandemic (TechRepublic)
This is in alignment with where our industry is going now, with remote medicine and telecare and telemedicine, is that doctors are able to take robotics in remote places, in rural places that doctors or physicians couldn't go, and remotely, through robotics, instruct that very complicated surgery. I find this most intriguing and most innovative and challenging, being able to be pushed. This pandemic is pushing us and pushing us into another sphere of technology, and causing us to think and become innovative and come up with a way, a methodology, on how to deliver training remotely with robotics. I think if we can do this, which I'm sure we will, I'm very confident that we will be able to deliver this, this has real-world implications for other emerging technologies and other emerging disciplines. I'm very excited to see what we can do in this paradigm shift. Because this really is a paradigm shift, from face-to-face modality into a remote learning modality, and still being able to encourage and inspire students abroad, but as well as young women, into the STEM fields.
Karen Roby: You're very passionate about inspiring young women to follow in your footsteps and blaze their own trails when it comes to cybersecurity and in IT, because there just aren't enough girls and minorities in the field. Talk about your passion, a little bit. How did you get into it, and what drives you to want to drive others to follow?
Pauline Mosley: The way I got into cybersecurity, I got into cybersecurity I would say maybe five years ago. But in the field of IT, I always like to pull things apart, and figure out how they work and problem solve. I was always in the field of IT. I worked as a programmer at IBM for a couple of years, and then I segued into the academy, because I felt I could be more impactful in front of a classroom. In an IBM setting and programming setting, I noticed I was one only woman and woman of color in that field. I said, "OK, I need to do something to change this." I went into the Academy and said, "Maybe if I was an instructor, I could then empower more young women to go and pursue this field of study." Then five years, as time went on, the cybersecurity discipline really became very hot. And really, that was very, very intriguing, how hackers were hacking in and sabotaging systems. Again, it was like a puzzle, problem solving, how can we, out-think the hacker, and how can we make things safe? That became very, very intriguing to me.
Then when I wrote this grant, the GenCyber grant, which Dr. Li-Chiou Chen, my chair at the time, recommended that I explore a grant for GenCyber and I submitted it, and I was shocked that I won the grant. That just spurred me on since then, in this field of cybersecurity and working with high school students in trying to realize that at the college level, there's so few young women in at the college level that come in that really think and have self-efficacy that they really can do computer science. Many of them come already with preset notions that computer science is very difficult. It's very hard. They don't have the math background. They've been told that this is not a viable path for them.
I started saying, "Well, I need to move. I need to go further down the pipeline or go back up in the pipeline, shall we say, to the high school level. Let me deal with high school students before they've made these decisions. Before precursor to college, let me talk to these young women and see if I can make them more aware, and I can equip them with more knowledge, and I can encourage them, and I can inspire them and engage them to possibly consider pursuing cybersecurity and computer science as viable careers."
Since then, my shift, although I'm a college professor, but my shift is really working with high school students and also middle school students, trying to capture these young women before they make these decisions, to engage them that this is a really viable field, and you can do quite well in this field, and you have the skillsets to thrive and survive in a cybersecurity setting and in a computer science discipline.
Karen Roby: It's so important, of course, to start talking to them at such a young age. Because it doesn't take long for thoughts to get embedded in our heads and ways of thinking what we could, should, shouldn't be, and making decisions that really impact us for the rest of our lives. I think it's great that you're starting to have these conversations with them young and inspire them.
Dr. Moseley, when you look, say five years down the road from now? What is your hope, what do you want to see in this field?
Pauline Mosley: What I hope to see in this field is more women. I hope to see more women in the cybersecurity field, at the administrative level, and even higher on a CIO level, making decisions and bringing their thoughts and their passion into the field. Because cybersecurity is a very large market.
I'm hoping five years down the road that there'll be more women in seats or positions of authority, that can make decisions and policies on how we conduct technology and how technologies interchange and exchange, and what those security measures are. I think women bring a very viable skillset and knowledge and perception that is currently lacking, because we are not there at the table. We need to have a voice and we need to … women, we are consumers of this. We have children. We're caregivers. We use technology just much as our male counterparts. So, we need to have a voice on how these technologies are going to be utilized and how they're going to be protected and how they're going to be disseminated.
SEE: Identity theft protection policy (TechRepublic Premium)
I think in five years down the road, I'm very hopeful and confident that that is going to change and the opinions and the perceptions and perspectives that women bring will be valued and will be appreciated and will be integrated into the current cyber systems, security systems that we have in place, and management will value what they say when they say it in the boardroom. That's one of my passions.
One of the things that we cultivate in my cybersecurity camp is, I have a mixed camp, a heterogeneous camp of young girls and young boys. When these young women and young men are in the camp and the teams are formed, all of the teams are usually headed up by a young woman. That is to encourage them, to give them the self-efficacy and the confidence that, and to promote and cultivate leadership and decision-making skills, and so that when they speak, that they're understood, they're valued, they're respected not just by their counterparts, but also by their male counterparts. It's also an education device for the young men, as well. Some of them have never really subjected themselves to women in authority. So, it's a camp that teaches many, many skill sets on many, many levels, and it's a precursor to what I do in university classes, as well.
Karen Roby: Dr. Pauline Mosley, thank you so much for being here with us today. You were certainly a wealth of knowledge. I'm sure we could talk forever about it. But your passion is certainly infectious, and I think that's so important.
Pauline Mosley: Yes, it is. I love what I do. I love to do the three Es, which is to equip, empower, and encourage women. I encourage all my students, but I have a special place in my heart for women. You know, this is a field that it's not … there's not a lot of women in it. We need to change that, and that's something that I'm passionate about, to encourage them, that they can do it. Math is not difficult. It requires discipline and study. With study and hard work and a lot of encouragement, there's really nothing you cannot do. That's my mantra, and that's what I tell all my students in the discipline. You have to work harder at it. As long as you work hard and you're disciplined, you can make it and fulfill your goals.
