[Anyone] Empire of Ignorance

[Erich Kuerschner]

Yesterday's Billmon post would be funny if it wasn't so tragic:

And for those either unconvinced or want definitive proof that Roberto Gonzales has essentially plagiarized the 
Nazi Third Reich in  the military tribunals, and the Patriot Act, I direct you to Scott Horton's article "When 
Lawyers Are War Criminals" dedicated to  the memory of Helmuth James von Moltke.

I direct you to the margin notes of Field Marshall Keitel, on an actual copy of a memo Moltke wrote, that was 
later used to convict Keitel at the Nuremberg trials.

"And in the margins, in the unmistakable pencil scrawl of Field Marshall Keitel, were found the thoughts that 
these rules were "quaint" and "obsolete," they reflected the "outmoded notions of chivalric warfare." This was 
cited as an aggravating factor justifying a sentence of the death against Keitel."

and lastly, I hope folks had an opportunity to see the output of our many fine artists at "Taos invites Taos".

A sculpture by Helen South was awesome, and I hope it continues to find a home in a public space, with wide 
viewing.

Along that line, anyone who missed last weeks Chris hedges column, it is archived at:

And finally, the very first resolution of the United Nations, in its original format, is archived at the UN at:

And I'm just discovering some nice online articles by our own Bill Whaley in the Online HorseFly, not all that 
were in the print edition?
