So, what would you say about America not only totally defeating al Qaeda, but doing it in just 24 months, two years? Malcolm Nance, a genuine, bona fide expert in counterterrorism says it can be done. He‘s written down the plan and published it.
Today‘s security briefing will be conducted by Malcolm Nance, retired naval intelligence officer, fluent in Arabic, has been posted all over the Middle East, South Asia and Sub-Saharan Africa. He was an instructor at the U.S. Navy Survival Evasion, Resistance and Escape School. He helped create the advanced terrorism abduction and hostage survival school.
His specialty: Middle Eastern terrorism.
His assessment of the enemy: al Qaeda is a cult. Its ideology is a dramatic corruption of traditional Islam. Doctrine is based on destroying and reengineering Islam.
Plan of attack: code name, “Circuit Breaker,” a mind war to separate al Qaeda from its base of support.
Expected outcome: total defeat of al Qaeda within 24 months.

From Jane Hamsher and Ezra Klein to Kos and Krugman, Tunku Varadarajan counts down the most influential left-wing journalists in the country.
Given that almost four times as many American journalists identify themselves as “liberal” than as “conservative” (thanks, Pew, for that little detail), our exercise in tagging the 25 most influential journalists who sit somewhere to the left of center on the political aisle was considerably more complex than the one last week in which we identified the top 25 on the right. Classifying our journalists as being “on the left” protects us from being derailed by pesky questions of taxonomy—whether someone is “liberal,” “progressive” or “radical”—although everyone on this list could be said, plausibly, to belong to one of those categories. What unites them all, broadly, is their belief (expressed or implied) that “their side” is currently in power in Washington. The list below distills responses canvassed from about 75 academics, politicians, journalists, and denizens of corporate America. (It may interest readers to know that I edited a similar list, days after Barack Obama’s inauguration as president, for Forbes. Whereas the two lists have a good deal in common, there are significant differences, most of which reflect the fact that the left no longer sees itself as being “in opposition.”) Our definition of “journalist” is a loose one, and may not please some J-school pedants: We include anyone whose primary vocation is to supply, edit, host, or curate information, news reporting, criticism, or opinion. To keep matters from getting messy, we have excluded any writer or editor whose primary affiliation is with The Daily Beast, though a couple of contributors appear.
Here, in ascending order, is The Daily Beast’s list of America’s 25 most consequential left-of-center journalists.

On the heels of a Washington Times report detailing how Republicans have railed publicly against the stimulus package while working privately to direct stimulus funds towards their home states and districts, Rachel Maddow has compiled her own list of GOP senators and congressmen guilty of such double-dealing.
Maddow argues that this is yet more evidence that the GOP is uninterested in productive policy and only concerned with tearing down the Obama administration.

Rachel Maddow appeared on the "Tonight Show" Wednesday night, where she revealed that Barack Obama is a fan of her fashion sense.
During their interview last fall, Obama "broke the ice by complimenting my pants," Maddow told Conan. "They're my Obama pants!"
Maddow also poked fun at Obama's beer date with Professor Henry Louis Gates and Sergeant James Crowley — "I don't know whether it's going to be a longneck or a can," the cocktail aficionado told Conan — and explained why she recently copied Sarah Palin by wearing rubber waders on the air.Rachel Maddow appeared on the "Tonight Show" Wednesday night, where she... more

On Monday night's episode of "The Rachel Maddow Show" the MSNBC host played a necessary foil to Bill O'Reilly on the murder of Kansas abortion doctor George Tiller. While O'Reilly presided over a callous self-defense seminar, Maddow took the opportunity to detail the history of the "modern anti-abortion terrorist movement" from the 1993 murder of Dr. David Gunn in Pensacola, FL to Sunday's shootingOn Monday night's episode of "The Rachel Maddow Show" the MSNBC host... more

Rachel Maddow shows why government regulation is not always a bad thing. Click on the URL.
She is a fresh, new face to MSNBC but no neophyte to reporting on politics. Her show airs on MSNBC at 9 PM Eastern time.
Watch this tribute to Upton Sinclair and the short clip of the old 20 Mule Team Borax pitchman telling us "Government is not the solution....Government is the problem."
Yeah, Ronnie, WHY are we now being forced to revisit something eerily similar to YOUR 1980's Resolution Trust Corporation S&L nightmare right about now? Could it be the systematic DE-regulation Republicans forced down our throats for 14 of the last 18 years in Congress?
Where do you Republican morons stop with your harangues of "We're heading for Socialism"?
You morons would be PRIVATIZING the mailing of ordinary letters and we would be paying Fed-Ex or UPS $12 to deliver a birthday card to Aunt Susie. They only do better than the Post Office when they can cherry-pick what they deliver.
Watch the video and tell me you want Wendy's regulating how many fingers you can have in your chili.
I live in Texas where our Republican majority of politicians in the statehouse were "smart" enough to DEREGULATE electric power! We Texans pay an average of 12.5 cents per kilowatt hour while regulated Oklahoma companies still make a profit charging their customers less than 8 cents a kilowatt hour! It costs no more to generate electricity in Texas than it costs in Oklahoma. Cover your ears, Californians. Your power is in the 40 cent range!
Oh, and large consumers of electricity like ALL businesses in Texas get Texas electricity for 6 cents per kilowatt hour so when Wal-Mart has those big auto-open electric doors, not only are you subsidizing their bill for those but you are also paying for the air-conditioning and heating that is wasted when a family of five strolls through them.
Enjoy your freedom.
Well, at least all the freedom corporations are willing to give you under DEREGULATION.
