Bronze Star Medal
a. The Bronze Star Medal was established by Executive Order 9419, 4 February 1944 (superseded by Executive Order 11046, 24 August 1962).
b. The Bronze Star Medal is awarded to any person who, while serving in any capacity in or with the Army of the United States after 6 December 1941, distinguished himself or herself by heroic or meritorious achievement or service, not involving participation in aerial flight, in connection with military operations against an armed enemy; or while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party.
c. Awards may be made for acts of heroism, performed under circumstances described above, which are of lesser degree than required for the award of the Silver Star.
d. The Bronze Star Medal may be awarded for meritorious achievement or meritorious service according to the following:
(1) Awards may be made to recognize single acts of merit or meritorious service. The lesser degree than that required for the award of the Legion of Merit must nevertheless have been meritorious and accomplished with distinction.
(2) Award may be made by letter application to Commander, ARPERCEN, ATTN: DARP-VSE-A, 9700 Page Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63132-5200 (enclosing documentary evidence, if possible), to each member of the Armed Forces of the United States who after 6 December 1941, has been cited in orders or awarded a certificate for exemplary conduct in ground combat against an armed enemy between 7 December 1941 and 2 September 1945, inclusive, or whose meritorious achievement has been other wise confirmed by documents executed prior to 1 July 1947. For this purpose, an award of the Combat Infantryman Badge or Combat Medical Badge is considered as a citation in orders. Documents executed since 4 August 1944 in connection with recommendations for the award of decorations of higher degree than the Bronze Star Medal will not be used as the basis for an award under this paragraph.
(3) Upon letter application, award of the Bronze Star Medal may be made to eligible soldiers who participated in the Philippine Islands Campaign between 7 December 1941 to 10 May 1942.

Meritorious Service Medal
a. The Meritorious Service Medal was established by Executive Order 11448, 16 January 1969 as amended by Executive order 12312, 2 July 1981.
b. The Meritorious Service Medal is awarded to any member of the Armed Forces of the United States or to any member of the Armed Forces of a friendly foreign nation who, while serving in a noncombat area after 16 January 1969, has distinguished himself or herself by outstanding meritorious achievement or service.
Air Medal
a. The Air Medal was established by Executive Order 9158, 11 May 1942 as amended by Executive Order 9242-A, 11 September 1942.
b. The Air Medal is awarded to any person who, while serving in any capacity in or with the U.S. Army, will have distinguished himself or herself by meritorious achievement while participating in aerial flight. Awards may be made to recognize single acts of merit or heroism, or for meritorious service as described below.
c. Awards may be made for acts of heroism in connection with military operations against an armed enemy or while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party, which are of a lesser degree than required for award of the Distinguished Flying Cross.
d. Awards may be made for single acts of meritorious achievement, involving superior airmanship, which are of a lesser degree than required for award of the Distinguished Flying Cross, but nevertheless were accomplished with distinction beyond that normally expected.
e. Awards for meritorious service may be made for sustained distinction in the performance of duties involving regular and frequent participation in aerial flight for a period of at least 6 months. In this regard, accumulation of a specified number of hours and missions will not serve as the basis for award of the Air Medal. Criteria in paragraph c above, concerning conditions of conflict, are applicable to award of the Air Medal for meritorious service.
f. Award of the Air Medal is primarily intended to recognize those personnel who are on current crewmember or noncrewmember flying status which requires them to participate in aerial flight on a regular and frequent basis in the performance of their primary duties. However, it may also be awarded to certain other individuals whose combat duties require regular and frequent flying in other than a passenger status, or individuals who perform a particularly noteworthy act while performing the function of a crewmember, but who are not on flying status as prescribed in AR 600-l06. These individuals must make a discernible contribution to the operational land combat mission or to the mission of the aircraft in flight. Examples of personnel whose combat duties require them to fly include those in the attack elements of units involved in air/land assaults against an armed enemy and those directly involved in airborne command and control of combat operations. Involvement in such activities, normally at the brigade/group level and below, serves only to establish eligibility for award of the Air Medal; the degree of heroism, meritorious achievement or exemplary service determines who should receive the award. Awards will not be made to individuals who use air transportation solely for the purpose of moving from point to point in a combat zone.
g. Numerals, starting with 2 will be used to denote second and subsequent awards of the Air Medal. See chapter 6.
Army Commendation Medal
a. The Army Commendation Medal (ARCOM) was established by War Department Circular 377, 18 December 1945 (amended in DA General Orders 10, 31 March 1960).
b. The ARCOM is awarded to any member of the Armed Forces of the United States who, while serving in any capacity with the Army after 6 December 1941, distinguishes himself or herself by heroism, meritorious achievement or meritorious service. Award may be made to a member of the Armed Forces of a friendly foreign nation who, after 1 June 1962, distinguishes himself or herself by an act of heroism, extraordinary achievement, or meritorious service which has been of mutual benefit to a friendly nation and the United States.
c. Awards of the ARCOM may be made for acts of valor performed under circumstances described above which are of lesser degree than required for award of the Bronze Star Medal. These acts may involve aerial flight.
d. An award of the ARCOM may be made for acts of noncombatant-related heroism which do not meet the requirements for an award of the Soldier's Medal.
e. The ARCOM will not be awarded to general officers.
f. Awards of the ARCOM may be made on letter application to Commander, ARPERCEN, ATTN DARP-VSE-A, 9700 Page Boulevard, St. Louis, MO 63132-5200, to any individual commended after 6 December 1941 and before 1 January 1946 in a letter, certificate, or order of commendation, as distinguished from letter of appreciation, signed by an officer in the grade or position of a major general or higher. Awards of the Army Commendation Ribbon and of the Commendation Ribbon with Metal Pendant were redesignated by DA General Orders 10, 31 March 1960, as awards of the Army Commendation Medal, without amendment of orders previously issued.
Army Achievement Medal
a. The Army Achievement Medal (AAM) was established by the Secretary of the Army, 10 April 1981.
b. The AAM is awarded to any member of the Armed Forces of the United States, or to any member of the Armed Forces of a friendly foreign nation, who while serving in any capacity with the Army in a noncombat area on or after 1 August 1981, distinguished himself or herself by meritorious service or achievement of a lesser degree than required for award of the Army Commendation Medal.
c. The AAM will not be awarded to general officers.

Wasps,
Nice. I've got to book mark this one. Thanks.
In regards to MOH's awarded in peacetime, there have been more than a handful. While researching the namesake of one of my father's ships, the USS John King, I discovered he won it twice. Both times were peacetime boiler accidents.

is not the Distinguished Flying Cross (bronze Iron Cross thingy with propellors is what that should be) but the Army's Distingushed Service Cross.

Another correction, there were 2 Navy Crosses awarded in OEF to SEALs. Both recipients are friends of mine and are very much alive! http://www.homeofheroes.com/verify/02_wot/nc_slabinski.html
http://www.homeofheroes.com/verify/02_wot/nc_bass.html
From reading the second citation you can tell that the SEAL was serving in an exchange billet w/ the UK SBS at the time of his actions. As the story goes, the Brit commanders wanted to award Steph the Victoria Cross, but that wasn't feasible politically for a number of reasons. There was also a US Army officer present on the scene who was awarded the DSC for his actions, so Steph..an enlisted man...ended up w/ the equivalent Navy award. There is actually quite a bit more to the story than what is reflected in the citation, and Steph probably deserved the MoH.

Andy, that's the second time I made that type of error. For some reason on another forum I wrote that the Army DSC for Afghanistan was posthumous even though I had actually seen the officer in question being decorated. Major league brain fart there.
The Air Force Crosses were both posthumous, and somewhere I did manage to put together a list of most Air Force Silver Stars for Afghanistan.
The Distinguished Flying Cross is a medal awarded to any officer or enlisted member of the United States armed forces who distinguishes himself or herself in combat in support of operations by "heroism or extraordinary achievement while participating in an aerial flight, subsequent to November 11, 1918." The decoration may also be given for an act performed prior to that date when the individual has been recommended for, but has not received the Medal of Honor, Distinguished Service Cross, Navy Cross, or Distinguished Service Medal.
The Distinguished Flying Cross, was authorized by an Act of Congress of July 2, 1926, an act amended by Executive Order 7786 on January 8, 1938. It was awarded first to Captain Charles Lindbergh, of the U.S. Army Corps Reserve, for his solo flight of 3600 miles across the Atlantic in 1927.
The first D.F.C. to be awarded to a Navy man was to Commander Richard E. Byrd, of the U.S. Navy Air Corps, on May 9, 1926, for his flight to and from the North Pole. Both of these aviators also received the Medal of Honor for their feats.
At least two civilians have received the award: Amelia Earhart and Eugene Ely.
During wartime, members of the Armed Forces of friendly foreign nations serving with the United States are eligible for the D.F.C. It is also given to those who display heroism while working as instructors or students at flying schools.
The Distinguished Flying Cross was designed by Elizabeth Will and Arthur E. DuBois. It is a bronze cross pattee, with rays between the arms of the cross. On the obverse is a propeller of four blades, with one blade in each arm of the cross and in the re-entrant angles of the cross are rays which form a square. The cross is suspended by a recatgular-shaped bar and centered on this is a plain shield. The reverse is blank and suitable for engraving the recipients name and rank.
The ribbon has a narrow red center stripe, flanked on either side by a thin white stripe, a wide stripe of dark blue, a narrow white stripe and narrow dark blue at the edge of the ribbon.
Subsequent awards of the Distinguished Flying Cross are indicated by oak leaf clusters, for Army and Air Force personnel, and by award stars for members of the Naval services.
US ARMY DISTINGUISHED
SERVICE CROSS
Established by an Act of Congress on 9 July 1918, the United States Army Distinguished Service Cross is awarded to any person, who while serving with the Army, distinguishes himself by extraordinary heroism in combat.
Ranking just below the Medal of Honor, the nation's highest award for bravery, the award of the DSC may be made to civilians serving with the Armed Forces during wartime only if approved by the President of the United States.

It is ordained that the Cross shall only be awarded for most conspicuous bravery, or some daring or pre-eminent act of valour or self-sacrifice or extreme devotion to duty in the presence of the enemy
This is not the case for the Medal of Honour as it can be awarded in peacetime.
Not to get into the issue of which is "better", but I don't know where this concept that the MOH can be awareded in peacetime came from.
To quote from AR (Army Regulation) 600-8-22, 25 February 1995
Para 3-6
a. The Medal of Honor, section 3741, title 10, United States
Code (10 USC 3741), was established by Joint Resolution of Congress,
12 July 1862 (amended by acts 9 July 1918 and 25 July
b. The Medal of Honor is awarded by the President in the name
of Congress to a person who, while a member of the Army, distinguishes
himself or herself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity
at the risk of his or her life above and beyond the call of duty while
engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States; while
engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing
foreign force; or while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged
in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the
United States is not a belligerent party. The deed performed must
have been one of personal bravery or self-sacrifice so conspicuous
as to clearly distinguish the individual above his comrades and must
have involved risk of life. Incontestable proof of the performance of
the service will be exacted and each recommendation for the award
of this decoration will be considered on the standard of extraordinary
merit.
No way can it be awarded for actions during peacetime!! (at least not according to current regulations). Doc
You are misreading the regulations. The distinction under current law is not wartime vs. peacetime, but action against an enemy/opposing foreign force vs. not. As 10 U.S. Code ? 3741, and the parallel statute for the Navy, 10 U.S. Code ? 6241, and Air Force, 10 U.S. Code ? 8741, note, the Medal may be awarded: (1) while engaged in an action against an enemy of the United States; (2) while engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force; or (3) while serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party.
Category 1 normally obtains only during wartime when there is a declared enemy.
Category 2 may be in wartime or peacetime; the distinction is conflict with an opposing foreign force. Both Somalia Medals of Honor fall into this category, as Aideed's militiamen were an opposing foreign force, but there was no declared war and the Somalis were not the enemy. An even clearer case is William L. McGonagle, USN, of the USS Liberty, whose ship was attacked by the Israelis in international waters. There was a war going on, but the U.S. was not a party.
I don't know of any Category 3 awards as the opportunities would be small. U.S. exchange officers and NCOs have found themselves in conflicts where the U.S. was not a belligerent, such as Malaya during the Emergency, but these situations are uncommon. There was some talk of awarding the Medal of Honor to a U.S. sailor serving with the Special Boat Service in Afghanistan, but the U.S. was a belligerent party there. In any event, he received the Navy Cross. Andy mentioned him a few posts up. But for purposes of this post, note that this category requires that it is the friendly foreign force that is in armed conflict, while the U.S. may be at peace.
Also, these regulations are post-1963 (Public Law 88?77, ? 1(1), July 25, 1963). Until 1942, I believe, the Navy allowed peacetime awards for noncombatant heroism (many of these 19th century lifesaving awards).
The most famous non-combatant recipients of the Army Medal of Honor would be Adolphus Greely, whose award is arguably the least justified ever, and Charles Lindbergh. With Frederick William Gerber, whose peacetime award was for "distinguished gallantry in many actions and in recognition of long, faithful, and meritorious services covering a period of 32 years," these are the only "peacetime" recipients of the Army Medal of Honor.
Dave, thanks for the clarification, but I am not sure we are really arguing more than semantics here. The original question was whether the MOH can, under todays rules, be awarded in peacetime. You seem to define peace as anything when war has not been declared (categories 2 and 3). Category 1 does, as you state, only apply in case of declared war. However, Peace is not defined by the absence of a declaration of war. I interpret category 2 as being war, even though not declared. This issue was discussed specifically during my time at the Army War College, and it was pointed out that legally war can take place even in the absence of a formal declaration-- In fact, I don't think the US has had a formally declared war since WW2, and I have real problems trying to define Viet-Nam, Korea, Somalia, etc., not to mention current wars in Iraq and Afghanistan as peace. To the soldier on the ground, when an enemy soldier is trying to kill you, that's war, not peace. In my mind, stating that the award can today be awarded for actions during "peacetime" simply justifies the types of awards given to Greely, Lindburgh, and Gerber. Today, they can be given only for actions involving conflict, whether or not a formal state of war exists (i.e. if it has been declared). My original comments basically were trying to address the issue of could a strictly peactime act (no conflict, no shooting, no enemy-- e.g. Lindburg, Greely) be considered worthy of the MOH, and I think that both of us agree that is no longer possible.

There are a number of awards for civilians now then there was during the time of Lindburg and the others. The Presidential Medal of Freedom for example and other Government agency awards.
Going back to armed conflicts what is lacking I think is a true MOH equivalent civil award like the British George Cross.
I could see something along the line of a MOH to a civilian who single handlely subdues a terrorist on a flight or destroy/remove a bomb before it kills many people. But for other achievements let's say a civilian manages to privately finance and flies a rocket to the moon that would certainly be today's equal to Lindbergh's trip across the Atlantic. In which case he would probably get a Congressional Gold Medal. So most bases are covered.
Great responses. I always thought that the USA method of awards was more cut & dried that ours. It's not, but just as long winded as ours (G.B.) .

I noticed on this old thread that the conversation started to veer from the original topic once the American posters started making some valid points.
As someone else here correctly pointed out, there was a short period where the VC was awarded in "peace time". While this was also once true of the two respective US services' MOHs (mainly the Navy) it is not any more.
Truth be told, you cannot compare the two medals based upon the number awarded; this is just common sense since the US is a much larger country. Two wars, the Civil War and Vietnam (where Britain was not present), had well over a million people wear the uniform. And I'm not even counting the Indian Wars or Cuba and the Philippines.
Something like 78% of the Korean War MOH's were posthumous. Over half the Vietnam MOH's were posthumous.
I've also read the citations for the very early Victorian-era VC's and they're not substantially different from their contemporary MOH citations. There's no difference.
As for the price discrepancy, that's in part because it is illegal to sell or trade the MOH in the states.
You must understand that many of the medals sold in Great Britain, as far as I have seen ARE CURRENT MANUFACTURE AND NEVER AWARDED. They were a part of the lot of HLI Lordship medals that were sold out the back door of that manufacturer's business and some made their way to Europe. Nobody in the UK understands this. Imagine for a moment if it was illegal to sell VC's, and the official government manufacturer pawned off a large number of current strikes. Would you pay 180,000 pounds? No. Just like anything else, if it's "hot" it's going to go for much less on the street. Especially if the medal's basically some current issue. All the VC's in existence are medals that were actually awarded.
Getting back to the price disparity, aside from the point I just made, is that the British will always be the stylish, witty, funny people and we Yanks will always be regarded as a bunch of louts. The Brits have this romantic history what with the Charge of the Light Brigade and the Battle of Britain and the SAS and putting DSO or MC after your name all the rest of it. That's why the VC has that mystique about it. That's why its value has been over-inlated beyond what it probably should be. It's a prestigious award given to brave men but it has a sort of cult status in regards collectors.

I noticed people trashing the MOH based on value. By that same analyisis, the Legion of Honor, France's highest award, must be worthless since I can pick one up for $50. Obviously, this is not true. Give me a break people.


I've come to realize that the older i get, the more magic i see, appreciate and want to create. But then, there are those who try to dim our sense of awe, who concernedly avoid the word as it doesn't correctly and rationally integrate in their world. But we mustn't allow their perceptions to obliterate the magic dimensions. Because magic is real. Because magic is in you and me, and stretched as far as we allow ourselves to see. It's the thread linking all to all, an interconnected web of relationships woven as a cosmic whole. Magic is in your pulse, in your glands. It is in the grain of sand. Magic is holding hands and squeezing loved ones in a warm embrace. Magic happens when you stand your ground and stand up for what matters. When you cry for hours and feel the pain of others. Magic is when you talk to trees, plants and seeds, when you appreciate their artistry through which you breathe, sustain life, and heal. Magic is in making love – penetration to mystic ascension. Magic happens at birth and death, manifestation of the unseen only felt in our hearts and the wavelengths in – between. Magic lives in all creatures and living beings, and in our consideration and actions towards their well -being. Magic is in friendship, in travel, music and art, magic is in every fresh start. Magic happens when you give love, and when you open yourself to receive even more. Magic is in weakness and sorrow too, magic is in our persistence no matter how faded the hope. Magic happens when you let go. Magic is your spirit that transforms all that which doesn't belong. Magic is a helping hand to those in need and those who bleed. One thing that magic is not, is fleeting in this world of mental drought. Because to know magic you must walk the path of heart and only then will you come to see how it pervades both space and time.

The pump-style design makes it very easy for people of all ages and abilities to use without the need for significant hand strength or fine motor skills. Continuous turning in the same direction allows the Salad Spinner basket to achieve higher RPM than most other spinners, resulting in the driest, crispest lettuce possible. A combination of a non-slip ring bonded to the bottom of the bowl and the downward force from the pump keep the Salad Spinner steady on the table, allowing users to operate it with just one hand.

Q: Restoring Virtualbox machine images from old hard drive I recently replaced the HDD in my laptop, and re-installed Windows & Ubuntu.  Now I want to restore the various virtual machines I had set up on the old HDD, which is mounted in an external USB enclosure.  I can read the HDD okay, and the 'bad' spots seemed to be in the Windows partition...  but whenever I try to restore the VDI files the copy errors out.  I've tried drag-n-drop in Nautilus, I've tried grsync, etc.  Always bombs out on the VDI files.  I've copied over multi-GB dvd iso images with no problem, but the VDI files always fail the checksums.
Any ideas?
TIA,
Monte

A: You might want to try a file recovery software like photorec.  As it seems that you are working with a damaged drive.
Another idea, did you try opening the vdi file directly from the old hdd?  I am not sure how that would help to be honest, but if that drive mounts and delivers data, you could check if the vdi file is corrupted, or whether this is a balky broken hdd that is just unwilling to give up the data.
Indeed, even if the file is quite corrupt, I would think you should be able to copy it anyway, even if you couldn't actually use it.
I am not expert, just trying to help :-)
Good luck.

During an eventful season at Bath, young, naive Catherine Morland experiences the joys of fashionable society for the first time. She is delighted with her new acquaintances: flirtatious Isabella, who shares Catherine's love of Gothic romance and horror, and sophisticated Henry and Eleanor Tilney, who invite her to their father's mysterious house, Northanger Abbey. There, her imagination influenced by novels of sensation and intrigue, Catherine imagines terrible crimes committed by General Tilney. With its broad comedy and irrepressible heroine, this is the most youthful and and optimistic of Jane Austen's works.
[Coralie Bickford-Smith's] recent work for Penguin Classics is...nothing short of glorious -- Anna Cole Co.
Jane Austen, the daughter of a clergyman, was born in Hampshire in 1775, and later lived in Bath and the village of Chawton. As a child and teenager, she wrote brilliantly witty stories for her family's amusement, as well as a novella, Lady Susan. Her first published novel was Sense and Sensibility, which appeared in 1811 and was soon followed by Pride and Prejudice, Mansfield Park and Emma. Austen died in 1817, and Persuasion and Northanger Abbey were published posthumously in 1818.

Lies, half-truths and weapons of mass destruction
"Every day Saddam remains in power with chemical weapons, biological weapons, and the development of nuclear weapons is a day of danger for the United States." Sen. Joseph Lieberman, September 4, 2002
"Intelligence gathered by this and other governments leaves no doubt that the Iraq regime continues to possess and conceal some of the most lethal weapons ever devised." George Bush, March 18, 2003
"I have no doubt we're going to find big stores of weapons of mass destruction." Kenneth Adelman, US Defense Policy Board , March 23, 2003
"Saddam's removal is necessary to eradicate the threat from his weapons of mass destruction." Jack Straw, Foreign Secretary 2 April, 2003
"For bureaucratic reasons, we settled on one issue, weapons of mass destruction (as justification for invading Iraq) because it was the one reason everyone could agree on." Paul Wolfowitz, May 28, 2003
In the months leading up to the US-led invasion of Iraq, the Bush-Blair regimes produced reams of documents to prove Iraq was stockpiling weapons of mass destruction and how Saddam could realistically fire them within 45 minutes. As they geared up for war they reiterated time and again that their intention was solely to rid Iraq of its WMD and make the world a more stable place for decent and god-fearing people to live in. They campaigned long and hard for their war – for the support of their peers in governments and for the backing of the US and British electorates and, convinced they had the mandate for war, invaded Iraq in March. Two months after the end of the fighting no "illegal" weapons have been found and the odds of finding any diminish greatly as the days go by.
The recent admission from a British security chief that the 50-page "intelligence" report on Iraq's WMD presented by Tony Blair to Parliament on 24 September last year – and used as the Labour government's evidence for Iraq's illicit weapons inventory – was spiced up on the government's instructions came as no real surprise for those who have scrutinised the unfolding of the US-UK war with Iraq and the Labour government's desperation to be part of it. Since the transatlantic plan to invade Iraq was hatched it was apparent that Truth would again be the First Casualty of War.
For their part, the CIA and their British counterparts have tried to distance themselves from their respective governments these past few weeks, with unprecedented briefings and leaks to the press, desperate to avoid the backlash that has lead to some serious questioning in London and Washington.
On a visit to Poland on 30 May, Tony Blair told a press conference that finding the weapons in Iraq was "not the most urgent priority". And yet, according to the claims of the dossier that he defends, Saddam Hussein "has a useable chemical and biological weapons capability" and that his "current military planning specifically envisages the use" of these weapons. For months we had the Blair government ramming the WMD issue down our throats, pleading for our support for his war with Saddam, who threatened the civilisation we cherished. Yet as Saddam and his military top brass, who presumably know about these WMD, which are yet to be found, are still on the run we are told that finding the weapons is not an urgent priority!
Also now discredited by the CIA is the evidence US Secretary of State Colin Powell eagerly displayed to the UN Security Council at the beginning of February. Powell provided explicit particulars of the key players in Iraq's WMD programme as well as the sites that are now under US military control. Nevertheless, the biologically-armed "missile brigade", which he claimed was situated outside Baghdad has proved to be a figment of his imagination and the weapons scientists he informed the world were afraid of talking because of Saddam's reach have not yet disclosed any secrets. As with the alleged "poison camp" near Khurmal, its labyrinth of tunnels and complex chemical communication network, so too with the photos of twenty or so Baghdad-based al-Qa'ida members the UN was presented with. No evidence whatsoever.
In spite of every quality newspaper demanding answers from him in the wake of the secret services admission, Blair, it seemed, was learning nothing. Rather than running for cover he began blurting more lies, claiming that Iraq tried to purchase uranium from the African state of Niger. The documentary evidence this fresh allegation was based on has since been confirmed as forgery by the International Atomic Energy Authority. Indeed, the Bush administration was aware that this evidence was bogus a year earlier – something Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice have since admitted. Moreover, early last year Vice President Dick Cheney sent a former US ambassador in Africa to Niger look into the story. Although the latter brought back word that the documents were not genuine, this was not sufficient to prevent the use of these documents as part of Bush's rationale for the invasion of Iraq.
The sorry situation becomes more pathetic. US Secretary of Defence, Donald Rumsfeld has lately offered that the reason Saddam's WMD can't be found is because they were destroyed before the war started. In other words the US-Britain invaded Iraq to rid the region of weapons Saddam never had and indeed that Saddam claimed he never had and which the UN weapons inspectors suggested he never had. If this was the case, then Saddam could never have been in breach of the famous resolution 1441, which was the justification for war.
Critics might consider that in light of recent revelations Blair should resign and that Bush should be impeached. Surely politicians should not be allowed to lie like this! But hold on.
Lying is the trade of politicians under capitalism.
Back in 1925, Hitler wrote in Mein Kampf: "This broad mass of a nation . . . will more easily fall victim to a big lie than a small one." Blair and Bush are fully aware of the power of the big lie, so little wonder they thought they could get away with it. Moreover they are fully aware their support base swallows lies every living moment of the day. For the workers' part they are lied to from the cradle to the grave: at school with distortions of history and the myth about a God up above; in the workplace, as producers, lied to by their bosses and at home as consumers bombarded with the myths perpetuated by the advertising industry.
To be sure, the entire capitalist edifice depends for its continued survival on the promotion of lies, half truths and the distortion of facts. So powerful is the capitalist distortion machine that it takes all our powers of concentration, memory recall and skills of research just to separate the simplest of lies from fantasy. This constant digest of misinformation perhaps explains the amnesia the majority of workers appear to suffer from. And what is exasperating is that in spite of all the evidence revealing the architects of war to be the conniving and scheming rapscallions we always knew them to be, it is a fair bet that many workers will again be ready to believe their lies when Iran is found to be stockpiling WMD and harbouring al-Qaeda terrorists.
It may well be that WMD will be found in Iraq – but the assumption now will be that will have been planted there by corrupt Western regimes desperate to justify their invasion. And this evidence will likely be used not only to prop up the discredited Messrs Bush and Blair but also to malign the anti-war movement – which claimed this was a war for oil – and to further strengthen their case for a continuation of the "war on terror".
In the months ahead be careful what you swallow.

When it comes to NHS negligence, prevention is better than cure
The NHS has a new strategy for tackling negligence claims
Frances Gibb
Thursday February 07 2019, 12.01am, The Times
NHS Resolution now works directly with midwives to ensure lessons are learnt quickly from errors
When every penny spent on the NHS feels precious, there is mounting concern at the huge rise of the cost of clinical negligence. The National Audit Office (NAO) found in September 2017 that over the previous ten years spending on the clinical negligence scheme for hospital trusts had quadrupled to £1.6 billion, and the number of successful claims paying out damages had more than doubled, to 7,300.
In June that same year the Medical Protection Society, which insures doctors, noted that NHS clinical negligence costs had risen 72 per cent in five years and could reach £2.6 billion by 2022, yearly costs that equate to the cost of training 6,500 doctors. The cost of clinical negligence claims is rising faster than NHS funding.

Harry Styles was 'scared' of doing things 'wrong' on solo debut
Harry Styles was "scared to get it wrong" with his debut solo album and thinks he "played it safe" on some tracks.
MIX SHARE SHARE TWEET PIN
Harry Styles was "scared to get it wrong" with his debut solo album.
The 'Watermelon Sugar' singer still loves his 2017 self-titled LP but if he listens back to it now, he can hear where he "played it safe" in certain songs because he didn't want to push himself too far out of his comfort zone.
He said: "I love that album so much because it represents such a time in my life, but when I listen to it — sonically and lyrically, especially — I can hear places where I was playing it safe. I was scared to get it wrong."
When he's making music, the 26-year-old star tries to listen to his songs with the ears of a fan.
He explained in an interview with Variety: "People within [the industry] feel like they operate on a higher level of listening, and I like to make music from the point of being a fan of music. Fans are the best A&R."
Harry insisted writing "for the right reasons" is far more important to him than commercial success.
He said: "There's no part that feels, eh, icky — like it was made in the lab."
And the 'Golden' hitmaker doesn't listen too much to speculation about awards, though he acknowledged receiving them is "nice".
He said: "It's always nice to know that people like what you're doing, but ultimately — and especially working in a subjective field — I don't put too much weight on that stuff.
"I think it's important when making any kind of art to remove the ego from it.
"It's about the work that you do when you're not expecting any applause."
The former One Direction singer learned a lot about writing songs thanks to the co-writers used by the group, including Ryan Tedder, Savan Kotecha and Teddy Geiger.
He said: "I learned so much. When we were in the band, I used to try and write with as many different people as I could. I wanted to practice — and I wrote a lot of bad s***."

DOJ Lied About 'Fully Constructed' US Capitol Lego Set Found in January 6 Protester's Home
The DOJ lied about the "fully constructed" US Capitol Lego set found in the home of a January 6 protester.
According to court records, federal prosecutors alleged 27-year-old Robert Morss directed other protesters during "one of the most intense and prolonged clashes" with Capitol Police officers on the Lower West Terrace on January 6.
Morss, a former Army Ranger, was indicted last month on 9 counts and has been in jail since his arrest pending trial.
Prosecutors argued Morss is flight risk and a threat to the community.
When feds raided Morss' Pittsburgh home, they found his military fatigues, a military utility bag, 3 firearms and a "fully constructed" Lego set of the US Capitol (gasp).
But the DOJ lied, obstructed justice and defrauded the Court.
"In the original detention memoranda, the undersigned stated that law enforcement found a "fully constructed U.S. Capitol Lego set." Please note that after a review of the photographs from the search, there appears to have been a miscommunication and that statement appears to be inaccurate. The Lego set was in a box and not fully constructed at the time of the search, as pictured below." the DOJ said in a new filing.

What else is the FBI/DOJ lying about?


What they are saying about Broadway Bound?
I just wanted to thank you for all you do. You are awesome..so is Broadway Bound. I am beyond thankful to have a place where my kids can dance for the joy of dancing. Katie B., who came with Elizabeth yesterday, loved Ashley. I am so happy to see her dance again..since it was such a huge part of who she is and I was sad to see her leave dancing behind. - Kelly T.
Broadway Bound is a fantastic Studio! Jennifer is a great, caring person! They have unique classes and activities for special needs! Jennifer & her family push their commitment to the dancers and their families far beyond the studio doors. It's just such a different experience from other studios! - Kathy R.
Thank you for having such an open mind and heart about people with different abilities. You made our daughter's dream come true. She has grown so much and that was incredibly evident when she walked out in front of the whole school to perform (a solo adaptive dance in a high school talent show). The opportunities you have given her to perform in competitions, recitals, Christmas pageants and the Down Syndrome Awareness March demonstrate an inexhaustibly open mind that doesn't put limits on our kids with different abilities. Each time she performs we cry because we are so overwhelming proud of her. She is more confident and unafraid to reach for her dreams because you and your instructors help her each week to be better and better.
With much appreciation and gratitude, - Susan F.
I have to tell you, the way that you put together the show and organized all the children is absolutely wonderful!! You are the ultimate professionals, but not too serious with the kids, so, you could tell they really enjoyed themselves!! The girls and I had such a great and exhausting time yesterday and I was so happy with their performances!! Loved it! Absolutely awesome! - Andrea E.
My son loves it! He wants to go everyday! This is his second year. It is a great place not only to learn but to make friends! - Amy M.
Thank-you for ALL your countless hours and amazing dedication to all our girls!!! It never seizes to amaze me how much goes into all their dances! Year to year, I look at how much everyone is growing into such young adults. My favorite of the year has to be Peter Pan. It's my very favorite, probably of all time. It speaks volumes for ... your vision in creating this masterpiece. - Darlene L.
Broadway Bound is a fabulous dance studio. Not only does it have a family feel to it but they help teach the kids the value of giving back and helping those in need. We are very happy to be part of the Broadway Bound family for 15+ years and look forward to many years to come. - Lindsay K.
Also, this was our first "Broadway Bound" recital experience and I was very impressed! You and your staff did a fantastic job - the music was inspiring, the costumes gorgeous, the choreography terrific, and the dancers did a great job! - Jeanne D.
I miss dancing here so much! Even with all the people they see everyday, it's such a close, family environment. The teachers care about the individual even outside a classroom setting. Even the other dancers are incredibly compassionate. It's such a talented and warm learning environment. - Jennifer D.
Thank you so much for all your hard work that you and your staff put all year to make such a successful performance. Both my husband and I, as well as our families loved the show last night. It was so amazing...All the kids did awesome..... - Iris W.
The recital was awesome!! You all did such a great job. I am so impressed! All of the hard work everyone did came together so beautifully. You all are very talented - all of the different dances were awesome - the whole show was just amazing. I went to both shows and loved them both. To see Taylor up there with everyone all in sync and doing so good, well I just balled my eyes out. These are the times in life that money can't buy. I am so grateful to all of you at Broadway Bound for loving what you do so much and passing that on to the children. It really makes a difference. You're Awesome!!!! - Kim L.
My girls danced in Manchester for 10 years, and I only wish I had moved them to your studio 2 years ago when I first heard of you. They left every class with a big smile, were always excited to go to class... and learned so much this year. - Kelly T.
James absolutely LOVES the class and his teacher. She is wonderful! He is turning one next week, and it is absolutely amazing the things he has learned just in the past few weeks. He already loved music and dancing, which is why when I saw the sign out (in) front of your studio I immediately looked into it. - Lisa F.
We are so very grateful for all of the kind word expressed by our student families.
