THE DEFENSE Department has defied the Environmental Protection Agency in a way that could threaten the EPA's ability to regulate federal agencies. Post reporter Lyndsey Layton recently detailed how the Pentagon has refused to allow the EPA to oversee cleanup of three sites on the Superfund list of the country's most polluted places, including Fort Meade in Maryland. Pentagon officials have asked the Office of Management and Budget and the Justice Department to intervene, in effect requesting an oversight body separate from the EPA. If the Pentagon is successful in thwarting EPA oversight, other federal agencies could follow suit. ...

Jeff Jarvis zeroes in on how to handle curmudgeons -- "get us past the growling as soon as possible and onto a substantive discussion:" "You can always find reasons not to do things. Then fine, don’t do them. Far more interesting and useful is to explore what might happen if you do them. ... "Well, the hour is far too late and the state of the industry far, far too desperate to waste time with these sideshows. They had their time and the objections needed to be addressed in that time. But I haven’t heard fresh objections in a few years. What I want to hear instead is fresh ideas; we must have more of those." Of course, simply moving on works better in the public debate than it does in the organization. Debate that moves us forward is good, but destructive sniping, complaining, and passive-aggressive undermining is not. The unpleasant cure in the workplace may be to show the curmudgeons the door. We just don't have the time. Especially irksome is curmudgeonly behavior that shows up as submarine attacks. What's a submarine attack? You've seen it. Curmudgeon goes to all the meetings with folded arms. When pressed, curmudgeon says the right words. Then curmudgeon sinks the program with a series of silent, hidden maneuvers. You might have gotten away with that in the old days. Every curmudgeon was hired at one time for discernable strengths. When things are going well, a newspaper can simply move curmudgeons to positions where they can do ...

LiveLeak was seriously threatened with violence by Islamic Jihadist for having the 15 minute film “Fitna” on its site.  They were forced to take it down.  What makes this threat different from other threats of the same nature is, this time it was not just against a Dutch or German outfit for broadcasting or printing something they didn't like, it was against one of our own, an American site.  In threatening one of us, Islamic Jihadist COWARDS extended the threat to any of us who dare to post this film. Well, here you go.....  IN THE NAME OF FREEDOM AND IN Defiance OF THE ISLAMIC BRAND OF CENSORSHIP, it's posted here below.  Warning, it's graphic.  It's not the sanitized version edited by YouTube, nor the one LiveLeak ultimately permitted, but the original film uploaded to LiveLeak by Geert Wilders. LiveLeak gave up the struggle for Freedom with a whimper, claiming the risk was too high.  Too high, I question???  Are you kidding me???  Our countrymen throughout our history have fought and died to preserve that which LiveLeak tossed aside with scarcely the nerve to publicly explain why, let alone tell those creeps exactly what they could do with their threats.  Shame on them, and shame on all those who enjoy the Freedom that others have sacrificed and died to secure but dare not participate themselves in the struggle to secure it. Since when has the fight to preserve Freedom ever been risk free or someone else's job?  When it's our time ...
