But the statement suggested that the "information operations" program may have veered into a gray area where government contractors paid to have articles placed in Iraqi newspapers without explaining that the material came from the U.S. military and that Iraqi journalists were paid to write positive acc (javascript:void(popitup('http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/postphot os/orb/asection/2005-12-03/index.html?imgId=PH2005120202131&imgUrl=/photo/200 5 /12/02/PH2005120202131.html',650,850))) (javascript:void(popitup('http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/photo/postphot os/orb/asection/2005-12-03/index.html?imgId=PH2005120202131&imgUrl=/photo/200 5 /12/02/PH2005120202131.html',650,850))) "Serious allegations have been raised that suggest the process may be functioning in a manner different than is intended or appropriate," the statement said. Commanders are "reviewing these allegations and will investigate any improprieties," it The statement from Baghdad was the first official effort to explain the media initiative after three days of news reports describing efforts by the U.S. military to plant stories in Iraqi media under the guise of independent journ The episode has sparked an intense debate at the Pentagon and beyond, as military officials in Washington said privately that they are troubled by the situation and media experts said the program violated standard journalistic prac The controversy has also fanned a debate that has been underway for months in military circles about the role that information operations should be playing in nontraditional conflicts such as the Iraq situation. The term covers a wide range of activities -- some open, some not -- intent on undermining an enemy by fooling, confusing or refutin "The broader debate is whether it's acceptable for the IO community to be doing this," said a general who has served in Iraq and has some experience in information opera After a briefing from Pentagon officials yesterday, Sen. John W. Warner (R-Va.), chairman of the Armed Services Committee, said he remains "gravely concerned about the situation." He said the Pentagon is looking into cases in which there may have been "an omission" of labels in newspapers indicating where the material came from or that it was an advertis In describing the program, military officials said third parties -- including the Washington-based Lincoln Group -- were sometimes hired to distribute the articles to newspapers to protect publishers that might have been targeted by insurgents if they were known to accept material from the mil Officials said one unanswered question they have is whether the Lincoln Group intentionally misled newspapers by presenting the articles as freelance journalism, obscuring the fact that the material came from U.S. armed f Lincoln Group officials would not discuss specifics of the contract. Laurie Adler, a spokeswoman for the company, said yesterday that Lincoln Group has been promoting truthful reporting across "We counter the lies, intimidation, and pure evil of terror with factual stories that highlight the heroism and sacrifice of the Iraqi people and their struggle for freedom and security," Adler said in a written statement. "We are encouraged by their sacrifice and proud to help them tell their side of the s Officials familiar with the Lincoln Group's contract said it allows the firm to pay to have articles placed in the Iraqi press. The contract reportedly says nothing about disguising the origin of the articles, but some military officers defended the practice as a necessary security measure, to protect the Iraqi journalists used to deliver the accounts and the Iraqi news organizations that print If it were known that the journalists and the news organizations were carrying information provided by the U.S. military, these officers said, insurgents would surely target them. Indeed, at least two of the Iraqi newspapers cited in initial news reports as having printed the articles in question have since received threats from insurgents, according to military offi Proponents of such tactics argue that different standards should be applied to what is permissible in a combat zone such as Iraq than, say, in the United States or other stable democracies. Although the idea of the military using covert methods to get favorable information into print appears unethical at home, the argument goes, there are mitigating circumstances justifying such tactics in Warner met with several officers and civilian leaders at the Pentagon yesterday for a briefing on the program, a meeting that yielded few details. Warner told reporters on Capitol Hill that the program was authorized through the U.S. Central Command and that the Lincoln Group was allowed to provide payments for the placement of articles with the understanding that any such material would be labeled as an advertisement originating from coalition f The material, produced by information operators and not by public affairs officials, was reviewed by a flag officer and commanders before distribution, and it received legal clearance in Iraq, Warner Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.), a member of the Armed Services Committee, sent a letter to the Defense Department's inspector general asking for an investigation into the program and the Lincoln Group contract. Kennedy called it "a devious scheme to place favorable propaganda qi newspapers." Top Pentagon authorities appear to have been caught off guard by the disclosure of the Lincoln Group's activities, and the three days it has taken for the Defense Department to produce yesterday's statement seemed to reflect considerable uncertainty about how to respond.

Depending on what kind of "free" one means, it could be "frei", "kostenlos", or "umsonst"... the first of those, as in "liberated", "available", or "unrestrained", is obviously cognate with English "free", 'cos (Old) English used to be Anglo-Saxon, originally a Germanic language... technically still IS so classified, as you may know, despite later influxes of French, Latin, etc. Anyway, "free" as in "costing nothing" or "gratis" could be rendered as "kostenlos" or "umsonst", although the latter can also mean "for nothing" in the sense of "in vain", aka "vergebens".

I think perhaps those pictures in my mind made me add an entire backstory, albeit subconsciously. On Edith being innocent: my take on her only works if coupled with my take on the Kingpin. If he's a crime boss, then the very act of getting involved with him would show a certain level of innocence--perhaps a romantic idea of who the kingpin is as she ignores the reports of his "crimes" and decides that the crimes "belong". I'm well aware that I've totally left Joni's intensions behind at this point and am just making my own story up, but while I've never put it in words before tonight, this really is how I've always taken the song. ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 15 Dec 2005 21:59:08 -0500 (EST) From: Catherine McKay Subject: Re: teflon and Dupont, njc "Everything gives you cancer."

I've enjoyed reading the past few posts regarding the Tribute concert. I was one of the lucky souls to be there for the live performance. It was wonderful seeing Joni there just enjoying all the attention being given her. During one of the short intermissions I got up the courage and walked right up to her, introduced myself and shook her hand. I could not believe no one stopped me. I was determined though. She was eating a banana and I do believe she got some on my hand. Needless to say that hand didn't get washed for a while. She couldn't hear a word I said, but appreciated the gesture nonetheless. What I was trying to say to her was how grateful we all were for what she had done for Wally. I'm a huge supporter of the homepage. She really is a kind person. After that I could hardly contain myself. I was shaking so bad and had to step outside in the night air to have a smoke and ask myself if it was all a dream. I went back inside and wasn't interested in any of the performers except when "Joan the Bone" got up there to sing Both Sides Now. Why did JT call her that? Does anyone know? Funny huh? JT has always been one of my favorites. I love that mans voice and fine guitar strumming. I only wish he wrote more songs. What frightened me a little is how some of these people aged. Even Joni. Seeing her up close I studied all the lines on her face. She's still a beautiful lady though. SIQUOMB, isn't she. I love her dearly as I know all of you do too. Any fans of Joni are certainly a friend of mine! I loved Cyndi Lauper's rendition of Carey. I'll be at the BSN concert at MSG on the 22nd. Would not miss that one for the world. Maybe I'll meet some of you there. Later...

I actually had to look up the lyrics to see how much I remembered was original song and how much I'd embellished it in my mind over the years. Hey, you listen to a song for thirty years ... I love hearing how we can all start with the same song and, filtered through our own experiences, have such different takes on it. It only serves to enrich the songs for me.

I think perhaps those pictures in my mind made me add an entire backstory, albeit subconsciously. Tired of spam? Yahoo!
