(San Francisco) When Google opened a research office in Beijing last year, the obvious purpose was to convince the communist government that the company could adequately deny Chinese citizens access to information. Well, guess what? Google succeeded.

From Reuters:

"In order to operate from China, we have removed some content from the search results available on Google.cn in response to local law, regulation or policy," Andrew McLaughlin, Google's senior policy counsel, said in a statement.

"While removing search results is inconsistent with Google's mission, providing no information (or a heavily degraded user experience that amounts to no information) is more inconsistent with our mission."

Google, known for its "Don't do evil" mantra, is developing its China approach as it seeks to strike a balance between the freedom of information it champions and the censorship demanded by Beijing, which controls access to China's 111 million Internet users.

One question that hasn't been answered thus far is whether Google will be providing information to the government about the users who search for censored information. Google has refused to comply with a similar request from the U.S. government.

Notably, Google will not offer email or blogging services until it can figure out how to strike a "balance between user interests and local conditions." Whatever that means.

Cindy Sheehan is a p**sy.

Hugo Chavez is an as*hole.

George W. Bush is a di*k.

Update from Rusty: Thanks for joining the Jawa team, Gary. Here is a related story which I got via Professor Chaos. Notice who is paying for Cindy Sheehan's visit to Venezuela?

Anti-war protester Cindy Sheehan, mother of a US soldier killed in
Iraq, joined more than 10,000 anti-globalization activists in Caracas, where she hailed Venezuela's leftist President Hugo Chavez....

She said Venezuela's foreign ministry sponsored her visit.

Muslims fathers in the town of Linz, Austria are demanding that female teachers put on the hajib--or traditional Muslim headcover. What is so interesting about Linz? It is the town where Adolf Hitler went to school! Hitler also claimed Linz as his 'hometown', one which would be a 'model' for the Third Reich.

Interestingly enough, 3/4 of the students at this Linz elementary school are not native German speakers. Which is ironical, to say the least.

Of course, one wonders the extent to which Linz's status as Hitler's home drew so many immigrants. After all, Mein Keimpf is still a best seller in practically every Muslim nation.

First demand: headscarves for women.
Second demand: yellow stars for Jews.

I certainly had no idea British journalist Phil Sands was being held hostage in Iraq. I also didn't know he was freed by U.S. troops. Glad to hear he is safe and sound, sad to hear that no one noticed.

Phil Sands was taken by a group of Sunni terrorists, threatened with beheading, forced to make a video calling for the withdrawal of British troops--the whole hostage nine yards. Five days into his ordeal, American troops freed him. He was held for such a short period of time, his terrorist captors had not had time to upload the video to the internet or send it to al Jazeera. No one, not even the troops that freed him, knew he was missing.

Thanks to Tribeca for noticing this. BBC:

A British journalist who was kidnapped in Baghdad and held for five days has been rescued by US forces - despite never being posted as missing.

Phil Sands, a freelance reporter was taken hostage on Boxing Day and released on 31 December, it emerged.

Not even his family had reported Mr Sands, from Poole, Dorset, missing and his captors had not made any demands.

British authorities were completely unaware he was in the country until he was brought to the British embassy.

"We can confirm that Phil Sands was kidnapped on December 26 but we were not notified, nobody told us and the hostage-takers weren't in contact," said a spokesman from the Foreign Office.

"He was released during a routine US military operation on December 31 and he left the country after a medical check-up and having been in touch with his family."

Mr Sands, who freelances for The Scotsman newspaper, told the paper of his shock when men brandishing AK47 rifles forced him into a car.

Okay, I get the whole online dating thing. I get the whole advertising for a mate in the newspaper thing. But, if you advertise that you're a billionaire seeking a 'virgin', what do you think the chances are that the golddigger that responds will be, you know, a virgin? And, as the old line goes, "Darling, we've already established what you are. Now we're just discussing price."

Q: Where do Mexican Generals keep their armies?

A1: In their sleavies

A2: No, you dimwit, in our sleavies. In addition to constantly violating the border, it looks like they are helping smuggle drugs in too.

UPDATE BY SEE-DUBYA: Much more info in this Ontario (CA) Daily Bulletin article that made the rounds last week. There have been 216 documented incursions by the Mexican military since 1996.

This is not good for Mexico - it makes them look like a 3rd rate banana republic. These guys are criminal gangs - if they assist in smuggling here, imagine what other criminal activity they engage in Mexico! The biggest threat they pose is to Mexico itself.

7 Sorry hondo, but you're dead wrong. Not only is this old news to some of us, but it is well known that Mexican Generals and politicians directly control, and profit from, drug smuggling. The entire Mexican government is nothing but a criminal organization, and for some reason, our government is trying to pretend nothing is happening. It kinda makes me wonder who's getting a cut on this side of the border.

Posted by: Improbulus Maximus at January 24, 2006 04:02 PM (0yYS2)

8 Actually, these incursions have been going on for quite some time. Reports from So. Texas and Arizona tell of Mexicans in military uniforms providing protection and riding shotgun for drug smugglers and illegal immigrants. The Mexican government is bound to be aware of what is going on, but to tell you the truth, both the drug smuggling and illegal crossings of the border are beneficial to the Mexican government. Both of these illegal activities provide Mexico with dollars, and prop up a government that might otherwise fail. Why do you think the Mexican government so forcibly opposes border security on the part of the US?

Posted by: jesusland joe at January 24, 2006 04:03 PM (rUyw4)

9 Don't doubt higher ups have knowledge/involvement. Mexican Govt is in sad shape - a never ending cycle of going nowhere on the richest continent on the planet. I'm just sympathetic for the average Mexican - if this is bad for us - its a nightmare for them. Pity - there never was any real reason (other that their own failings) why Mexico never matched the achievements and status of the US and Canada.

10 Only poor government and stupid economic policies kept Mexicans from succeeding. I know many Mexicans who have come to the US and become very successful, and great citizens. I truly feel sorry for the average Mexican who is forced to live in the present circumstances in Mexico.

11 Mexico used to be ruled by France and Spain, two nations which never even managed well at home, much less abroad. In fact, the only post-colonial nations that ever truly succeeded are the ones that the British had. Any nation which was ever ruled or even partly ruled by France or Spain during its formative years is a de facto basket case today. The only hope for Mexico is that enough Mexicans will learn proper civics in El Norte, and return home to eventually straighten things out. This should happen right about the time Osama bin Laden converts to Judaism I should say.

13 Well, we pessimists are rarely disappointed, but often pleasantly surprised. We must not forget that Americans have a long relationship with the ideals that are at the very heart of Western civilization, whereas the people of the rest of our hemisphere still mostly live in some state of post-colonialism, in which societies are stratified, and there is no hope for liberty for the masses. To make things worse, almost every other nation in our hemisphere, including Canada, is infected with the disease of Marxism, and so given these two factors, it will take much longer than anyone can imagine to spread Enlightenment ideals to every corner of the globe.

Iran is now threatening that if the EU imposes economic sanctions that they will use force to close down oil exports out of the Persian Gulf. This would be an overt act of war. Not only would the U.S. responds with military action, but the Europeans as well. Yes, even the French.

Via Jihad Watch this from Haaretz:

The news site, affiliated with the radical student movement in which President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad was once a member, quoted Mohammed-Nabi Rudaki, deputy chairman of the Iranian parliament's National Security and Foreign Policy Commission.

According to the report, Rudaki said that "if Europe does not act wisely with the Iranian nuclear portfolio and it is referred to the UN Security Council and economic or air travel restrictions are imposed unjustly, we have the power to halt oil supply to the last drop from the shores of the Persian Gulf via the Straits of Hormuz."

Will the lunacy coming out of the Left stop today? First we posted about a Daily Kos writer who plans to march at Ground Zero and place a citizen's arrest on Rudy Giuliani for 'his part in the 9/11 coverup'. If that wasn't enough, a Lefty in a major newspaper says he does not support the troops. Now this. I need some aspirin.

Via the Puppy Blender this from Marc Cooper--who is no right-winger--who gives us the low-down on the new Pacifica radio executive director, Greg Guma.

Most of the country is privileged enough to not have the pleasure of listening to Pacifica radio. Since I grew up in L.A., I was subjected to it from time to time. Pacifica is kind of like NPR, only, if you can imagine this, far to the Left and way more boring (apologies to Marc Cooper, former drive-time host).

Pacifica is the kind of radio network that broadcasts it's own station meetings. I recall listening to one a few years back where angry listeners were protesting the 'corporate' nature of the Pacifica board.

It's also the kind of radio network that seems to have endless supplies of interviews with Noam Chomsky. And no, no one was holding a gun to my head and forcing me to listen to Noam Chomsky drone on and on about East Timor. Call me a masochist.

It turns out that Pacifica's new director, Greg Guma, is a certified 9/11 conspiracy nutbag. Here is what he had to say about David Ray Griffin's book The New Pearl Harbor: Disturbing Questions about the Bush Administration and 9/11:

Hammering home the point that most of what we think we know may be mistaken, Griffin also points out that even the identities of the hijackers remain in doubt. In the months following 9/11, the London Times, Associated Press, and Saudi embassy in Washington reported that at least five of the 19 men whose photos and names circulated worldwide were still alive.

So, was bin Laden really the mastermind? If he was a player, did he have some help? These are two of the many troubling questions that arise from Griffin's analysis. At this point, we simply don't know, and not much can be said with complete certainty, except that without 9/11, George Bush would not have been able to declare himself a "war president" and there would have been no convincing reason to expand the federal government's power through legislation like the USA PATRIOT Act.

Given the administration's now discredited claims about Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein's connection to the attacks and weapons of mass destruction, it doesn't stretch credulity to conclude that, based on the considerable conflicting evidence (rather than more comforting assumptions), the public has yet to hear the whole story. For that to change, however, the media's self-imposed myopia will have to end, at last granting Griffin's research a thorough review, and perhaps even prompting a more credible and comprehensive official examination than has so far been conducted.

Newslinker has this L.A. Times article revealing a pretty disgusting sentiment which is all too common on the radical Left. If I was a mainstream liberal I'd be first in line to stone this S.O.B. just to prove that his view is a minority one.

The underlying assumption of this is that wars are fought by Administrations, not by nations. By joining the military a soldier is volunteering as an extension of the Bush Administration. Hence, the soldier is complicit in Bush's alleged crimes.

While Administrations may start wars, they do not fight them. Nations fight wars.

There was no war against the Nazis. We fought Germany. And the Roosevelt Administration did not fight in WWII, America did. America is at war. When did the Left stop being part of America?

This is why the antiwar position is unpatriotic. This is America's war, and to be against it is to be against America.

There is a time to be against a war, and that time is before the war begins. Strategies for victory are legitimate debate, but as long as troops are on the ground then that is where debate should end.

In past wars an article like this would have landed the author in jail. Encouraging troops in battle to disobey commands is worse than the kind of defeatism that FDR would have arrested you for--it is inciting to treason.

Joel Stein in the L.A. Times:

I DON'T SUPPORT our troops. This is a particularly difficult opinion to have, especially if you are the kind of person who likes to put bumper stickers on his car. Supporting the troops is a position that even Calvin is unwilling to urinate on...

But I'm not for the war. And being against the war and saying you support the troops is one of the wussiest positions the pacifists have ever taken — and they're wussy by definition....

But blaming the president is a little too easy. The truth is that people who pull triggers are ultimately responsible, whether they're following orders or not. An army of people making individual moral choices may be inefficient, but an army of people ignoring their morality is horrifying. An army of people ignoring their morality, by the way, is also Jack Abramoff's pet name for the House of Representatives....

But when you volunteer for the U.S. military, you pretty much know you're not going to be fending off invasions from Mexico and Canada. So you're willingly signing up to be a fighting tool of American imperialism, for better or worse. Sometimes you get lucky and get to fight ethnic genocide in Kosovo, but other times it's Vietnam...

I'm not advocating that we spit on returning veterans like they did after the Vietnam War, but we shouldn't be celebrating people for doing something we don't think was a good idea. All I'm asking is that we give our returning soldiers what they need: hospitals, pensions, mental health and a safe, immediate return. But, please, no parades.

The tin foil brigades will march on President's day to protest the 9/11 conspiracy. And by conspiracy they mean that 9/11 was an American conspiracy. They will also attempt to arrest former Mayor Giuliani for his part in the conspiracy. Which is odd because Rudy isn't, as far as I know, a J-O-O.

The rally is being organized by Daily Kos writer and conspiracy nut Greg Nixon. A guy who thinks the Bush Administration was behind 9/11.

Indy Media Watch has more.

Indeymedia: March for Truth:

The rally will conclude at the office of former N.Y.C. Mayor Giuliani in Times Square, where we will deliver citizen’s warrant for his arrest for his role in the attacks at The World Trade Center and criminal complicity in removing evidence from a crime scene. Civil disobedience will then be encouraged by protesters in an effort to call on fellow Americans to speak out against the colossal crimes being committed in the name of a fraudulent ‘War on Terror” and to demand the U.S. Government be arrested for treason and mass murder....

Please spread the word to any and all to come to Ground Zero on February 20th and make their voice heard that this frame-up on humanity in the name of ‘The War on Terror” Ends now. March for Truth N.Y.C. 2006!

UPDATE: If Kos is now the Democratic kingmaker, what does that say about the Democratic party?

Two German engineers have been taken hostage in Iraq. Their names are Thomas Wischke and Rebiti Drata.

Let me reiterate why hostage taking has become so common in Iraq: because it works. Worse, when you find out that a particular country is willing to pay ransom then the obvious lesson to be learned is take more hostages from that country. Among the two latest hostages to be released in Iraq, one was freed by Coalition troops and the other, Sussane Osthoff, was freed after Germany paid ransom.

Hat tip to reader George who sends this CNN link:

Gunmen wearing Iraqi army uniforms kidnapped two German engineers outside their workplace in the Iraqi industrial town of Baiji on Tuesday, police said, the latest in a surge of abductions of foreigners in Iraq.

At least six gunmen, in two unmarked cars, grabbed the two men just outside a detergent plant in an industrial complex around Iraq's biggest oil refinery, police Lieutenant Colonel Kadhem Abbas said.

German Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier said: "We have indications that two Germans could have been kidnapped."

He told reporters in Berlin the ministry had set up a crisis team and was seeking further information from companies. A government official said the two men appeared to be from the eastern city of Leipzig and were working for an Iraqi firm.

The two were seized at around 8:30 a.m. (0530 GMT), said Abbas, who speaks for the Joint Coordination Center for Iraqi security forces and the U.S. military in the province....

An official at the factory, declining to give his name, said the two men were only on their third day of work there, setting up a new plant, and were grabbed as they arrived for work by car. Their driver was left unharmed by the kidnappers.

From time to time, we at The Jawa Report bring you information on graphic and violent videos. The reason we link to these videos is so that you will have a more complete understanding of the monsters that we fight. While we aknowledge that war--all war--leaves misery and death in its wake, there is something particularly evil about those who intentionally torture and murder.

And when we mention torture, we mean real torture. And when we say murder, we mean it in its literal sense--intentionally killing another human being.

More often than not, when the Left speaks of torture, they mean a practice which they find disdainful. What they deem torture is often an act of abuse. While both may be immoral, torture and abuse are a far cry from one another.

Further, when the extreme Left (which certainly does not include most American liberals or Democrats) characterizes the unintended killing of civilians by American military actions murder, they are really describing a type of homicide which is not murder.

While losing a child (God forbid) to any act of negligience is terrible, it is far more terrible to lose a child to an intentional act of homicide--a murder. For example, one might find forgiveness for the police officer who accidentally runs into your car, killing your loved one, while in hot pursuit of a serial murderer. However, it would be far harder to make peace with the serial murderer who the officer is pursuing if your child was one of his victims.

Further, whenever real examples of murder or torture by an American soldier is brought out, it is always discovered after the military has instituted its own investigation into the matter or only after the military has brought criminal charges against the responsible party.

Compare that to the very real acts of torture and murder by the Saddam Hussein regime. These acts of torture were not random acts by soldiers out of control. Murder and torture were the policy of the Baathist state. It was institutionalized torture. It was systematic murder.

In the spirit of previous posts done at this site, we bring you a series of graphic images captured from home movies taken by Fedayeen Saddam soldiers. From time to time we need to be reminded why we fight, and these horrible and gruesome images serve that purpose.

The videos they were captured from can be downloaded at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracy's website here. Hat tip to Pajamas Media who quote the FDD President as saying:

These images are brutal and disturbing – they are not intended for all audiences. But for those who want to understand the evils of the Saddam regime, and especially for anyone inclined to excuse or minimize the crimes committed, these videos demonstrate that Saddam was a ruthless mass murderer and a threat to all humanity.

Graphic images follow.

File under: it's not fascism if we give you the green light. Remember that Senate hearing that the partisan Left is chomping at the bits to expose McChimpy's inate fascism in? Well it looks like the Dems are going to take the opportunity to:

a) expose Bush as a fascist for wiretapping international phone calls without a warrant
b) call him the fascist that he is
c) authorize him to do the very thing he was doing that made him a fascist.

Via James Joyner this from WaPo:

U.S. surveillance laws should be reviewed and possibly rewritten to allow the type of eavesdropping that U.S. President George W. Bush has been criticized for authorizing, lawmakers from both parties said on Sunday....

"What he's (Rove) trying to pretend is somehow Democrats don't want to eavesdrop appropriately to protect the country. That's a lie," Kerry said. "We're prepared to eavesdrop wherever and whenever necessary in order to make America safer."

'THERE IS A WAY'

But Kerry said the spying has to be legal and constitutional and if Bush needs the law to be changed, "then come to us and tell us... There is a way to protect the Constitution and not go off on your own and violate it."

Other prominent Democratic senators including Dick Durbin of Illinois, Charles Schumer of New York and Joseph Lieberman of Connecticut made similar comments about reexamining the breadth and modernity of FISA in television interviews a few days after Rove urged Republicans to campaign on national security and the war on terror.

Arizona Republican Sen. John McCain, who has also questioned the legality of the eavesdropping, also urged the administration to work with Congress on modernizing the 1978 FISA law to take into account technological changes in communications.

"I know of no member of Congress, frankly, who, if the administration came and said here's why we need this capability, that they wouldn't get it. And so let's have the hearings," McCain said on Fox News Sunday.

A British jihadi left this wonderful message earlier today. He is an MCI DSL user from London. Notice how the ignorant jihadi cites Rep. Murtha as 'proof' that the U.S. is all but defeated in Iraq. And no jihadi message would be complete without a reference to the evil Jew bankers who are really behind this whole war thing.
