I am writing to report a response from Kalee Kreider (VP Al Gore's communications director and environmental adviser) to a pair of Washington Post articles on British High Court judge Michael Burton's ruling concerning Gore's movie on global warming, An Inconvenient Truth.

Please find the response here: An Inconvenient Truth: Team Gore responds, which links to the preceding posts at the Post which Kalee was responding to.

What Obama actually said about fighting terrorism

by Geekesque, Wed Aug 01, 2007 at 07:51:41 AM PDT

Barack Obama was scheduled to give a speech today on his national security/defense/anti-terrorism policy today.

There's going to be a lot of distortion of what he said, so I thought I'd launch a 'preemptive strike' and detail what he's actually saying.  

The details below the fold.

Recently, DraftGore.Com submitted their petition with 100 thousand signatures to Al Gore. Al Gore could have the told them not to continue their efforts if he wanted to rule out a run or rule out being drafted. There are no signs that he did. Recently, DraftGore.Com started airing radio ads in Iowa and apparently will air national radio ads as well.

While the current version of Edwards ("Edwards 3.x") is apparently exciting to many in the blogosphere, it turns out that the former avatar of Edwards ("Edwards 2.x") was, as with the war, at the forefront of championing the GOP/neocon frame, "GWOT", as seen in the extensive evidence presented below the fold.

This has to be one of the best campaign stumps I have seen, period.

Perfect note and perfect tone! And very inspiring.

In what has to be one of the best OpEds I have seen this year, Rep. Jack Murtha sticks it to the Goons! And sticks it good!!

Addressing the spins coming from Rove, Cheney, Rumsfeld etal, Murtha lays down a solid response in his Washington Post OpEd Confessions of a 'Defeatocrat', By John P. Murtha, Sunday, October 15, 2006; Page B01

To the puerile "defeatocrat" label, I simply have this to say:

In head-to-head matchups, Gore has pulled to within 7 points of McCain and 4 points of Giuliani in a FOX News/Opinion Dynamics poll released yesterday, improving his standings from May when he trailed both McCain and Giuliani by double digits. Gore now matches Hillary's poll numbers versus Giuliani and marginally improves upon her versus McCain. Keywords: 2008, Al Gore, Hillary Clinton, John McCain, Rudy Giuliani

Mr. Lee Hamilton, a former Democratic Representative to the US House from Indiana and the former vice chairman of the 9/11 Commission, wrote an OpEd  that articulates a forward-looking foreign policy vision while surgically deconstructing Neoconservative fundamentalism that is promoted by the Neocons and the Rubber-Stamping Bush-Republicans under the banner of "promoting democracy around the world", using fear-mongering gimmicks such as inflated "war on terror", blabbering sound-bites such as"fighting them over there..", and other assorted constructs and paraphernalia designed to fool people.

Ralph Nader, Al Gore's third party opponent in the 2000 presidential race, attended a book signing event by the latter of the companion book to An Inconvenient Truth, and the two men received each other well and perhaps reached a new rapport.

Organize AIT car pools with your co-workers, friends and families to go and see 'The Truth' at the nearest theatre!

The movie's website is here, and they're taking pledges to see the movie over the opening weekend. They currently have over 32,000 signatures, but let's try and make it a 100,000 signatures or more, before the movie opens.

If this diary makes the recommended list, we will get a step closer to achieving that goal, hence your recommendations will be much appreciated.
