• Rumsfeld confesses : "It's beyond me"
  From J.David Chadwick Dot Com :

  JDC -- Mr. Secretary, I'm [J. David Chadwick]. My question is, considering that we still have troops in every area that we have conducted operations during the Clinton administration, why is this operation in Iraq viewed negatively in the press as a Vietnam- style quagmire?
  Secretary Rumsfeld : Give that man an "A".
  I'll tell you, it's beyond me. I just had a hearing before the House of Representatives Appropriations Committee on an emergency supplemental budget. And that very day, 17 members of the United States Congress, Republicans and Democrats alike, had just arrived back from Iraq. And six of them were on that committee. And they went right down the line, every single one of them, saying that what they see and read about Iraq in the United States and in the region does not compare with what they personally saw and experienced with their own eyes. These people went right down -- they were stunned by the difference between what they experienced in that country and what they saw and what they were being told in the press.
  Now, it should not surprise you that the next day there was not a single word in the press about that hearing. Not one of those first eyewitness comments by seven members -- six or seven members of the United States House of Representatives of both parties -- not a single word of what they said about what was taking place in Iraq appeared, to my knowledge, in -- at least in the Washington press.

  
  ...and the article has a lot more besides. Worth reading the whole thing . Now, if he'd only left a permalink...
  As for the title of this piece on the Command Post? Well, if the mainstream media had reported it, that would have been the headline. Or worse :

  " Rumsfeld Confesses Iraqi Situation is Beyond Him "
  [...]
  "...it isn't like it's one problem, it's like that it's 24 problems, one every hour, " the Defence Secretary admitted publically.
  [...]
  " We've been in there for five months since the end of major combat operations ." Secreatary Rumsfeld said, "... a quagmire ".
  A visibly emotional Rumsfeld then retreated, and refused to answer more questions. " I'm told there's time for two more questions, but I'm inclined to quit on that one ." he said.
  Maybe someone should remind him that a winner never quits, and a quitter never wins.

  (I should make it crystal clear that the above 'quote' is not from the BBC, despite all appearances to the contrary. Just me pretending I'm a writer for the New York Times.)

• The Lump Of Labor Fallacy
  OpinionJournal: Making France Work: So much for the 35-hour week.
  The " lump of labor fallacy " may be getting acknowledged in France. In 1998 they shortened the work week to 35 hours to reduce unemployment and it appeared to work at first, but has failed -- no surprise there. That French law also forced employers to maintain the same wages and only exacerbated the situation. It pushed up the cost of labor on an hourly basis and lead to, among other things, the replacement of workers with machines and subsidies for employers to offset the increased cost.
  This is the first good news I've heard out of France. One can only hope it leads to greater labor market liberalization throughout Europe. If France can do it, why not Germany?

  A great social experiment may be coming to an end, sad to say. We refer to the French ambition that you can get richer by working less--specifically that they could increase national wealth by shrinking the workweek to 35 hours.
  Imagine what might have been possible had this worked out. We could all lose weight by eating more, or by exercising less. Or become better informed by studying less--we know some teenagers who try this every night.
  Alas and alack, it was not to be. Prime Minister Jean-Pierre Raffarin has just re-opened debate on the more-for-less policy introduced by the Socialists in 1998. The French came up with it five years ago while looking for a way to reverse a then-unemployment rate of 13% without loosening France's notoriously inflexible labor markets. Labor Minister Martine Aubry's answer was to make them more inflexible--reducing the workweek to 35 hours from 39. The logic: Companies would be forced to hire more workers as their employees worked fewer hours.
  The unemployment rate did fall to 9% for a time, a level economists consider the structural minimum for France. The policy was also said to create about 250,000 new jobs. With her law now under political siege, Ms. Aubry this week lashed out, claiming that the measure instituted a "virtuous circle" of consumer demand, growth and employment.
  And a fountain of youth too. The reality was that France's employment rose when U.S. growth lifted the global economy. Once the American economy slowed, France awoke from its dream. For one thing, those new jobs had been subsidized with about $10.6 billion in government tax rebates to companies. Unsurprisingly, the artificial jobs produced artificial higher output. Meanwhile, tax revenue has fallen, with Budget Minister Alain Lambert estimating that the 35-hour law costs the country $17.6 billion each year.
  Among French workers who get paid by the hour or depend on overtime (which was limited), the law was never popular. Smaller businesses complained about the bureaucratic hassle, and the larger ones sent jobs overseas. But the middle classes loved their long weekends and holidays and embraced this latest not-so-free lunch.

• Yahoo! News - Teenager In Trouble In Inhaler Incident - save a life, go to jail, in the Amerikan nanny state. This happenned at Caney Creek High School . The principal is Dr. Greg Poole, gpoole@conroe.isd.tenet.edu . The address is 16840 FM 2090, Conroe, TX 77306. Phone: 936-231-3330, 832-482-6212, fax: 936-231-7702. The original Click2Houston article is here .

  A teenager was disciplined for sharing medication used to treat asthma, but he said it saved his girlfriend's life, News2Houston reported Wednesday.
  
  Andra Ferguson and her boyfriend, Brandon Kivi, both 15, use the same type of asthma medicine, Albuterol Inhalation Aerosol.
  
  Ferguson said she forgot to bring her medication to their school, Caney Creek High School, on Sept. 24. When she had trouble breathing, she went to the nurse's office.
  
  Out of concern, Kivi let her use his inhaler.
  
  "I was trying to save her life. I didn't want her to die on me right there because the nurse's office (doesn't) have breathing machines," Kivi said.
  
  "It made a big difference. It did save my life. It was a Good Samaritan act," Ferguson said.
  
  But the school nurse said it was a violation of the district's no-tolerance drug policy, and reported Kivi to the campus police.
  
  The next day, he was arrested and accused of delivering a dangerous drug. Kivi was also suspended from school for three days. He could face expulsion and sent to juvenile detention on juvenile drug charges.

  I sent the following email to Dr. Poole:

  To: gpoole@conroe.isd.tenet.edu
  Subject: Brandon Kivi
  From: "Bill St. Clair"
  Date: Thu, 09 Oct 2003 10:47:10 -0400
  
  Dr. Poole,
  
  I read on the internet the story of the possible expulsion and imprisonment of Brandon Kivi for sharing his asthma inhaler with his girlfriend, possibly saving her life. Thank you for enforcing your school's zero intelligence policies. The next time this happens, I'm sure your students will follow the rules and allow their friends to die. Get a clue, mister. Brandon Kivi deserves a medal of commendation for helping his friend, not arrest and expulsion. Make it right or resign in disgrace. You have no other moral choice.

  One thing that is striking about advocating intellectual property rights--rights in non-scarce things--is that one is inevitably bound up in a self-contradictory position. For although they want to say that non-scarce things (like ideas, inventions, etc.) are "just as much property" as are scarce things like physical resources, they always, when it comes down to it, want to en force IP rights against scarce resources .

• Color Me Hard-Headed
  A Conservative Travesty (washingtonpost.com)
  Generally I agree with George Will, but it seems to me he's overlooking one crucial element -- it's California. California is not going to elect a conservative, though it might elect half of a conservative. There are some that say electing someone who's not a total conservative -- I wouldn't qualify any more than Schwarzenegger -- is a failure. I see it as a gain.
  Democrats dominate California so completely that getting someone elected who holds some conservative views is a step towards breaking the group think that dominates the state, at least electorally. Electing Schwarzenegger will at least introduce some new ideas in California, such as free markets and a favorable business environment.
  As for Will's contention that the Founding Fathers would disagree with this exercise in "direct democracy", he's wrong. The recall was done in accordance with the California constitution and it's a state matter. Would they have approved at a federal level? No.

  California's recall -- a riot of millionaires masquerading as a "revolt of the people" -- began with a rich conservative Republican congressman, who could think of no other way he might become governor, financing the gathering of the necessary signatures. Now this exercise in "direct democracy" -- precisely what America's Founders devised institutions to prevent -- has ended with voters full of self-pity and indignation removing an obviously incompetent governor. They have removed him from the office to which they reelected him after he had made his incompetence obvious by making most of the decisions that brought the voters to a boil.
  The odor of what some so-called conservatives were indispensable to producing will eventually arouse them from their swoons over Arnold Schwarzenegger. Then they can inventory the damage they have done by seizing an office that just 11 months ago they proved incapable of winning in a proper election under ideal conditions.
  These Schwarzenegger conservatives -- now, there is an oxymoron for these times -- have embraced a man who is, politically, Hollywood's culture leavened by a few paragraphs of Milton Friedman. They have given spurious plausibility to a meretricious accusation that Democrats are using to poison American politics, the charge that Florida 2000 was part of a pattern of Republican power grabs outside the regular election process.
  Schwarzenegger's conservative supporters have furled the flag of "family values" while mocking their participation in the anti-Clinton sex posse. They were unoffended by Schwarzenegger's flippant assertions that only the "religiously fanatic" oppose human cloning -- not just stem cell research but cloning. These faux conservatives' new hero said that only "right-wing crazies" supported the proposal on Tuesday's ballot to bar the state from collecting the racial data that fuel the racial spoils system.

  If any progress is to be made in California, we have to start somewhere. Schwarzenegger is that starting point.

• Three Cheers for LRC's Jesse Ogden
  After reading Jesse's great piece the other day, Mark Dankof, a Christian libertarian, cc'd me on this wonderful letter to Jesse:
  Jesse--I read your fine article for Lew Rockwell today, and was especially impressed that a young man of 16 was writing with the wisdom and discernment you have.
  
  To put it in perspective, I finally gave up on the same mythologies you so effectively diagnosed in the article--but was 41 years old when it finally dawned on me. That year was 1996. I left the Republican Party that summer after attending their national convention in San Diego. In the final analysis, you reach many of my own conclusions, but have beaten me to the end game by 25 years. For that you have both my admiration and my expressed support in continuing your writing and your search as God directs.
  
  I wrote an essay on my web site at www.MarkDankof.com some time ago about a man named Daniel New from Conroe, Texas. It is my hope that you will enjoy it as you ponder its contents. Mr. New's respective web sites would be well worth your time in the days ahead. He also answers mail from any honest person who takes time to write and interact. I'd encourage you to make his acquaintance. The story of his son, Michael, is especially moving. With what you already grasp about the bankruptcy of Empire and the political realm, it will have special relevance and meaning for you.
  
  Names like Daniel New, Joseph Sobran, Karen DeCoster, Jon Basil Utley, Richard Cummings, and Lew Rockwell keep coming to the forefront for me as I learn more from them about all of what I did not know when I was 16, or even 30. Keep reading--keep writing--keep fighting for the ideas worth living and dying for.

  Bill Whittle writes an essay about America facing up to its power in the world . He's on his game again, which means it rocks. I figured that most of you have read it already, but if not then what are you waiting for?
  

  "I've been thinking about Power . Thinking about what real power entails, and more importantly, wondering if there is a way to defeat that ancient and highly reliable adage and perhaps find a way for a nation – mine -- to wield power, enormous power, without being corrupted -- enormously."

  Good luck on your speaking tour , Bill!

• Subpoena The Reporters!
  It's time to STOP this ridiculous soap opera known as the Wilson/Plame Affair.
  The media is guilty of a coverup and should be forced to perform real journalism.
  As Glenn Reynolds says:

  This isn't a "whistleblower" leak, where somebody exposes government misconduct on condition of anonymity. Here, it's the leak itself that's the misconduct, and it's the anonymity that let it happen, and that is keeping the leaker from being punished for conduct that everyone seems to regard as wrong.

  
  In an earlier post, Glenn eloquently points out three key reasons why...

  ...the White House has a lot to gain by subpoenaing reporters who know about the Plame leaks. Doing that serves several useful purposes. First, once the press clams up and starts going on about protecting sources, it becomes extremely hard for it to claim that the White House is covering things up. "Who's stonewalling now?" can be the response.

  Second, the press's complaints will look like special pleading (which they are). "If you leak this you're a traitor, but if we publish it, we're being great Americans," won't wash.

  Third, subpoenaing reporters will likely reduce the number of leaks in the future. And that's a good thing, right? We keep hearing that these leaks were disastrous for national security. If that's true, we certainly want people to think twice before leaking in this fashion again, or publishing the results of such leaks.

  
  And as Howard Kurtz notes:

  There are at least six people in Washington who know the answer to the city's most politically charged mystery in years. And they're not talking.

  That's because they're journalists.

  Whether they should maintain their silence -- and whether they might be legally compelled to break it -- lies at the heart of a burgeoning debate about media ethics and the whispered transactions with government officials that shape the daily flow of news and opinion.

  
  President Bush should demand, and The Justice Department should immediately subpeona and demand, that Robert Novak and all reporters who have publicly quoted an anonymous source linking Wilson's wife to the CIA, identify their source or risk criminal charges.
  UPDATE: Bill Hobbs says it better than me, and quite rightly references the Code of Ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists to buttress our argument. As Bill says, "So, if the reporters don't reveal the name of the leaker, you'd almost be tempted to think they want a scandal involving the Bush White House to drag on and and on... "

  Our limey friend Andrew Stuttaford has been saying some smart things on NRO's blog lately. This isn't one of them:
  "as a combination of monarch and prime minister the President can be said – in theory – to embody the nation more than an ‘ordinary’ politician...." (See the quote in context here .)
  Evidently Stuttaford's political theory is an amalgam of Alexander Hamilton and Rousseau. I seem to recall that not so long ago he was also excoriating his native land's Tories for defending the hereditary principle in the House of Lords . It's a shame what the taint of Jacobinism does to an otherwise promising young man like this.

• Re: Liberventionists
  Lew's post reminds me of one of his columns many years ago, probably in the venerable Rothbard-Rockwell Report or The Free Market , where, offhandedly mentioning some Congressman, he glibly listed the Congresscritter's affiliation thusly: "Rep. Smith (R--Lockheed)". I always smile when I remember that line.
  (Incidentally--one of my favorite "introductory" books on free market issues is Lew's The Free Market Reader .)

• Subpoena The Reporters!
  It's time to STOP this ridiculous soap opera known as the Wilson/Plame Affair.
  The media is guilty of a coverup and should be forced to perform real journalism.
  As Glenn Reynolds says:

  This isn't a "whistleblower" leak, where somebody exposes government misconduct on condition of anonymity. Here, it's the leak itself that's the misconduct, and it's the anonymity that let it happen, and that is keeping the leaker from being punished for conduct that everyone seems to regard as wrong.

  
  In an earlier post, Glenn eloquently points out three key reasons why...

  ...the White House has a lot to gain by subpoenaing reporters who know about the Plame leaks. Doing that serves several useful purposes. First, once the press clams up and starts going on about protecting sources, it becomes extremely hard for it to claim that the White House is covering things up. "Who's stonewalling now?" can be the response.

  Second, the press's complaints will look like special pleading (which they are). "If you leak this you're a traitor, but if we publish it, we're being great Americans," won't wash.

  Third, subpoenaing reporters will likely reduce the number of leaks in the future. And that's a good thing, right? We keep hearing that these leaks were disastrous for national security. If that's true, we certainly want people to think twice before leaking in this fashion again, or publishing the results of such leaks.

  
  And as Howard Kurtz notes:

  There are at least six people in Washington who know the answer to the city's most politically charged mystery in years. And they're not talking.

  That's because they're journalists.

  Whether they should maintain their silence -- and whether they might be legally compelled to break it -- lies at the heart of a burgeoning debate about media ethics and the whispered transactions with government officials that shape the daily flow of news and opinion.

  
  President Bush should demand, and The Justice Department should immediately subpeona and demand, that Robert Novak and all reporters who have publicly quoted an anonymous source linking Wilson's wife to the CIA, identify their source or risk criminal charges.
  UPDATE: Bill Hobbs says it better than me, and quite rightly references the Code of Ethics of the Society of Professional Journalists to buttress our argument. As Bill says, "So, if the reporters don't reveal the name of the leaker, you'd almost be tempted to think they want a scandal involving the Bush White House to drag on and and on... "

• They Could Try Liberalizing Their Economies. You Know, Embrace Capitalism.
  Yahoo! News - U.N.: Slum Population Could Double by '30
  There are things the developed world should do to help the developing world advance, but I have a feeling they aren't the things the UN has in mind. The UN is likely seeking permanent subsidies from developed nations to undeveloped nations. All that will do is delay them in dealing with their policy problems. What we should be doing is opening up trade and ending subsidies for agriculture.
  Beyond that, the real work has to be done by the developing countries themselves. In short, embrace capitalism. Political stability is a necessary precondition; from there it means protecting contracts, property rights, eliminating price controls and any other impediment that keeps markets from clearing, among other things. Then wait. Once unleashed the productive forces of the people will create wealth and the people will prosper.
  Until the poorer countries embrace capitalism they will remain poor on a permanent basis.

  About a sixth of the world's population - nearly 1 billion people - live in slums, and that number could double by 2030 if developed nations don't reverse course and start giving the issue serious attention, according to a United Nations report.
  The U.N. Human Settlements Program's report, released Saturday, is the first ever to assess slums and examine how widespread they are. Its main concern is the developing nations in Asia and Africa because the migration from rural areas to cities in Europe and the Americas has largely played out.
  The report's main finding is stark: Almost half the world's urban population lives in slums. Asia has the largest number of slum dwellers overall, with 554 million, while sub-Saharan Africa has the largest percentage of its urban population living in slums - about 71 percent.
  "In some developing country cities, slums are so pervasive that it is the rich who have to segregate themselves behind small gated enclaves," the report said.
  The report describes slums as poor areas that lack basic services or access to clean water, where housing is poorly built and overcrowded. Developed nations are not immune: According to the report, 54 million people who live in cities in richer nations live in slum-like conditions.
  The report says that the worldwide number of slum dwellers increased by 36 percent in the 1990s to 923 million people. At its current pace, the number could double to 2 billion by 2030.

  The answers are there. They just need to embrace them.

• More Ammo for Rush
  According to FOX Sports, Donovan McNabb averaged a measly 5.2 yards per pass yesterday (Oct. 5 against the Redskins), and 4.6 yards per pass the previous week. He's certainly no Peyton Manning, or even a Brad Johnson in terms of the passing game. But on "broken plays' he runs like a bull in a china shop on fire and is an exciting player to watch if you're an Eagles fan.

• I Think We Can Do This
  OpinionJournal: 'I Think We Can Do This'
  More on the war for public opinion and our job in Iraq. For the record, I think we can do this too.

  This is the informed opinion of Washington Democrat Norman Dicks, just back from visiting Iraq, as expressed to Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld at a House hearing last week on the Bush Administration's request for $87 billion for Iraq and Afghanistan. Given most reporting on these subjects of late, his optimism struck us as news.
  Speaking of his visit to the northern Iraqi city of Mosul, Congressman Dicks said: "That should be a model for the rest of the country, Mr. Secretary. I mean, I was so impressed with the level of detail and involvement and interaction that the 101st is having with all these people in those three provinces. I think that that should be the model. If we follow that, and if we can give those generals the resources necessary to keep up their effort, I think this--I think we can do this." He was referring to the Army's 101st Airborne Division, under the command of Major General David Petraeus.
  Mr. Dicks isn't the only Democrat impressed with the coalition's progress in Iraq. Georgia Representative Jim Marshall came back from a visit and wrote an op-ed for the Atlanta Journal-Constitution last month in which he accused the media of reducing the chances of success in Iraq by publishing only the bad news.
  He repeated this view in the Washington Post Wednesday. "Our news coverage disproportionately dwells on the deaths, mistakes and setbacks suffered by the coalition forces," he wrote. "Democrats should carefully avoid using the language of failure. It is false. It endangers our troops and our effort." We'll let readers decide what to make of the fact that CNN recently had Mr. Marshall appear in a point-counterpoint segment with its very pessimistic Baghdad bureau chief, Jane Arraf.

  I still say the media has an ideological axe to grind and CNN's Baghdad Bureau Chief has done nothing to change that perception.

• Jesse James con't....
  Sounds to me like the Yankees and railroaders had it coming. Here's the link , but you can read a snippet here. Turns out the Yankees may have gotten the James family twice: once when they burned them out, a second time when the Pinks blew the house to pieces in 1875.

• Jesse James con't
  Apropos of Mr. Epstein's post , Fleming's essay does say a group of Pinkerton's blew up Jesse James' home, killing his 9-year-old half-brother and blowing off his mother's right hand. So there might be some justification for the movie scene . Anyone know the history?
