Here, we see a worldwide poll in which about 29% on average thought "some torture" was warranted in some situations.  But in the US, 36% felt that way, prompting the Beeb to note that this percentage makes the US "one of the highest of all the countries polled."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well, yuh, but not by much.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interestingly, support for "some torture" seems to be the highest in countries where terrorist outrages have been the worst.  Israel and Russia have about the same level of public support for "some torture" as does the United States.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I wonder how many British supported "some torture" for the IRA when it was pulling off deadly bombings during the recent past?

Hence, my radar pinged when, out of the blue, Congressman Weldon's home and that of his daughter and a business associate were raided by the FBI just weeks before the election.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Things really started to hum when I read the above article and was -- er -- surprised to learn that, almost as if on cue, a group of "protesters" showed up at Weldon's campaign headquarters sporting giant foam hands declaring he'd been caught "red handed" doing something or other.  Liberals always leave the "what" to one's imagination.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;As the Inquirer tells it, these grassroots type protesters simply coalesced.  They "said" they weren't connected to Weldon's opponent.  Why, there was even one guy who claimed to be a Republican:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About noon today, a group of 17 protesters arrived outside Weldon's district office in Upper Darby, carrying signs and the kind of foam hands usually seen at sporting events to proclaim "Number One." But these rose-colored hands said "Caught Red-Handed."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"&lt;em&gt;This is the first time I've come out and done something like this&lt;/em&gt;," said Judy Voet of Rose Valley. "This Congress is just so corrupt."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Most of the protesters were Democrats, but they said they were not involved in the campaign of Weldon's opponent, Joe Sestak, and they included at least one Republican, Chuck Ries of Havertown.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"I don't know what to believe anymore, they lie so much," said Ries, holding a sign linking Weldon to current and former Republican colleagues Tom DeLay, Mark Foley and Bob Ney - all of whom have been embroiled in career-ending scandals.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;-- Apparently, that was good enough for the Inquirer, which goes out of its way to dispel the notion that the "protesters" might have something to do with Weldon's campaign opponent, Joe Sestak; all of course before going on at length to trash the Republican party.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Unlike the Inquirer, it took all of forty seconds for me to determine that the "Judy" quoted above -- the one out protesting for the "first time" -- has more than a little to do with Mr. Sestak's campaign.  In fact, as &lt;a href="http://www.delcodems.com/Archive2006.htm"&gt;this &lt;/a&gt; site shows, she's been campaigning for Sestak at least since August, when she and her husband threw a fundraiser for him at the "Voet residence."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, now that we know these protesters were shills for Mr. Weldon's opponent, inquiring minds want to know whether the order for the big red foam hands was placed before, or after, the FBI searched Weldon's offices.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24087113-116104677017781137?l=swashblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swashblogger.blogspot.com/feeds/116104677017781137/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=24087113&amp;postID=116104677017781137&amp;isPopup=true' title='3 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24087113/posts/default/116104677017781137'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24087113/posts/default/116104677017781137'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swashblogger.blogspot.com/2006/10/philadelphia-inquirer-interviews.html' title='Philadelphia Inquirer Interviews Sestak Campaign Workers As Weldon &quot;Protesters&quot;'/><author><name>John</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16566558523074700336</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/35/10207/320/Johnny-46.jpg'/></author><thr:total>3</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24087113.post-116003871494573595</id><published>2006-10-05T04:56:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-10-05T04:58:34.986-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Zarq Successor May Be History</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/42141000/jpg/_42141784_hamza203getty.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 160px;" src="http://newsimg.bbc.co.uk/media/images/42141000/jpg/_42141784_hamza203getty.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/5408924.stm"&gt;BBC UK - Al-Qaeda in Iraq leader 'killed'&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;em&gt;Badda bing.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24087113-116003871494573595?l=swashblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swashblogger.blogspot.com/feeds/116003871494573595/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=24087113&amp;postID=116003871494573595&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24087113/posts/default/116003871494573595'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24087113/posts/default/116003871494573595'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swashblogger.blogspot.com/2006/10/zarq-successor-may-be-history.html' title='Zarq Successor May Be History'/><author><name>John</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16566558523074700336</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/35/10207/320/Johnny-46.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24087113.post-115957124368268420</id><published>2006-09-29T18:53:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-09-29T19:07:23.746-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Zaw Joins DNC, Copperheads In Calling Bush 'Liar', 'Failure'</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.breitbart.com/images/2006/9/29/D8KENQMO0/D8KENQMO0_preview.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 160px;" src="http://www.breitbart.com/images/2006/9/29/D8KENQMO0/D8KENQMO0_preview.jpg" border="0" alt="" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.breitbart.com/news/2006/09/29/D8KENQMO0.html"&gt;AP -  Al-Qaida No. 2 Calls Bush Failure, Liar&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;em&gt;Twits like former President Carter, whose rambling, bumbling, stumbling, foreign policy kicked off the modern age of state terrorism, are scrambling to get out soundbites that are even MORE outrageous than the relatively tame stuff coming from one of the chief planners of 9/11.

The Punjabi-&lt;br /&gt;dominated Pakistani armed forces have launched ethnic cleansing in &lt;br /&gt;Balochistan against the ethnic Baloch people; they are &lt;br /&gt;systematically kidnapping, imprisoning and murdering Baloch &lt;br /&gt;nationals by the thousands."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"KALAT, Balochistan -- Notable journalist (U.S. based) and convener &lt;br /&gt;of the World Baloch Jewish Alliance (WBJA), Ahmar Mustikhan, wrote &lt;br /&gt;the following poem in memory of the great Baloch leader, Nawab &lt;br /&gt;Akbar Khan Bugti, who was recently killed in battle fighting with &lt;br /&gt;the Pakistani armed forces."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"KALAT, Balochistan – The flag of Balochistan symbolizes the &lt;br /&gt;struggle of every Baloch to free Balochistan from the Iranian and &lt;br /&gt;Pakistani occupation."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"KALAT, Balochistan – The following message was sent to the &lt;br /&gt;Government of Balochistan (GOB) in Exile by the Baloch of Iranian-&lt;br /&gt;occupied Balochistan:..."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;"KALAT, Balochistan -- The New York Times published an editorial &lt;br /&gt;titled "The Wrong Battle in Pakistan".

Malaysia wouldn't EXIST if it weren't for the "very, very, very belligerent United States," fuckwad.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24087113-115833350689036428?l=swashblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swashblogger.blogspot.com/feeds/115833350689036428/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=24087113&amp;postID=115833350689036428&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24087113/posts/default/115833350689036428'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24087113/posts/default/115833350689036428'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swashblogger.blogspot.com/2006/09/former-malay-pm-says-islamic-bomb.html' title='Former Malay PM Says Islamic Bomb Necessary'/><author><name>John</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16566558523074700336</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/35/10207/320/Johnny-46.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24087113.post-115833128707639006</id><published>2006-09-15T10:37:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-09-15T10:41:27.080-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Muslims Respond Predictably To Pope's Moral Challenge</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://news.scotsman.com/index.cfm?id=1366652006"&gt;The Scotsman - Muslims link Pope to 'racists and bigots' over Islam speech&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;em&gt;Muslims have been caught in a trap.

Other middle eastern governments have not rejected Iraq's government as being illegitimate, as the MSM eagerly predicted.  Nor does it appear as if this was any war for oil: the Iraqis are busy making supply contracts with our enemies, the Iranians.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nor do I believe that Al-Maliki, having refused to be our stooge, will play that role for Iran.  The allegedly "huge" demonstration several weeks ago in Baghdad, where Shiites showed their "support" for Hizbollah, was also very orderly, and very short.  Once it was over, the hundred thousand or so who had gathered went home.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In my estimation, this demonstration was meant to send two messages: (1) Iraq's Shiites are both organized, and loyal to Al-Maliki; and (2) that Iraqi Shiite support for Hizbollah, and by extension, Iran, has its limits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How's that for nuance?&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24087113-115811444752755852?l=swashblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swashblogger.blogspot.com/feeds/115811444752755852/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=24087113&amp;postID=115811444752755852&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24087113/posts/default/115811444752755852'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24087113/posts/default/115811444752755852'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swashblogger.blogspot.com/2006/09/iran-welcomes-iraqi-pm.html' title='Iran Welcomes Iraqi PM'/><author><name>John</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16566558523074700336</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/35/10207/320/Johnny-46.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24087113.post-115792913779452057</id><published>2006-09-10T18:49:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-09-10T18:58:57.796-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Five Miscreants Killed In Kashmir</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.playfuls.com/news_10_117_Eight_Including_Five_Militants_Killed_In_Indian_Kashmir.html"&gt;PlayFuls.com - Eight, Including Five Militants, Killed In Indian Kashmir&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;em&gt;The evil BushHitler -- at it again.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/24087113-115792913779452057?l=swashblogger.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://swashblogger.blogspot.com/feeds/115792913779452057/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=24087113&amp;postID=115792913779452057&amp;isPopup=true' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24087113/posts/default/115792913779452057'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/24087113/posts/default/115792913779452057'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://swashblogger.blogspot.com/2006/09/five-miscreants-killed-in-kashmir.html' title='Five Miscreants Killed In Kashmir'/><author><name>John</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/16566558523074700336</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='23' height='32' src='http://photos1.blogger.com/hello/35/10207/320/Johnny-46.jpg'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24087113.post-115792848027387261</id><published>2006-09-10T18:41:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2006-09-10T18:48:00.276-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Dorky Headline From A Newspaper Befuddled By Truth</title><content type='html'>&lt;a href="http://www.iht.com/articles/2006/09/10/news/terror.php"&gt;International Herald Tribune - Darker landscape in a country divided by wars&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a&gt;&lt;em&gt;Yep, anybody named Bush who thinks we're safer because we've taken the war to the terrorists must be living in a dark, dark place, right?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Nor do I believe for a second that the country is in a bad position in terms of public opinion.

In the first place, the charges were not "dropped" by the prosecutors, they were dismissed by a magistrate judge.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Further, a magistrate has no authority under federal law to issue final orders in criminal matters.  That means if the prosecutors file objections, then a judge must decide whether there's probable cause to go forward.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The bottom line is, this case has neither been dismissed; nor have the charges been "dropped."
