Daniel Ellsberg's Review of the Made-for-TV Movie The Pentagon Papers
The movie, currently showing on FX, is not based on Ellsberg's Secrets: A Memoir of Vietnam and the Pentagon Papers, and oddly, FX never contacted Dan about the film or consulted him in any way.
Every bit of dialogue is completely fictional (with the exception of a dozen lines or so, mainly in my interview with Cronkite), nothing
happened very closely to the way it is portrayed, and there are errors in almost every minute of the film. In fact, the script often has me saying things that I not only didn't say, but I never would have said; in many cases they are the opposite of what I believed. The same is true for most of the dialogue associated with other named characters; they obviously weren't consulted any more than I was. You could say that everything is wrong, in some degree: and yet, the overall story is true to the underlying feeling of the events.
They have made a good movie, with an important message--in favor of whistleblowing-- that I would endorse; and the timeliness of the message, undoubtedly by accident, is uncanny. The inaccuracies of the script are somewhat frustrating to me but they won't be noticed by many others, and every other aspect of the production is unusually well-done: the casting and acting, direction and editing, the photography. It was fun for Patricia and me to watch it together; we relived the start of our romance. As in the rest of script, the circumstances are all wrong, but James Spader and Claire Forlani show the electricity of our attraction, and Forlani conveys "behind her eyes"--as one reviewer put it--Patricia's intelligence as well as her beauty. We found it a gripping film, and I think others will too: one that is true to the spirit and feeling of the events, if not the letter.
There's a chance this film could encourage more whistleblowers, which is what makes it so timely right now. It shows that it's possible for someone with the background and values that I shared with many current officials to change perspective and to decide to tell the truth to those outside the Executive branch, and it shows that in unforeseeable ways that can be effective. It shows that the personal costs of doing this can be worthwhile, in terms of the possibility of saving lives.
I've been using every opportunity in the last five months to convey a message to current officials who know--as I did in 1964-65-- that the president, and their bosses, are lying us into a wrongful, reckless, unnecessary war. The message, which I think is implicit in this movie, is that they should consider doing right now, before the bombs are falling, what I wish I had done at a comparable point, in the months before the onset of the Rolling Thunder bombing: going to Congress and the press with documents that undercut official lies. There is still time to avert this war with sufficiently comprehensive truth-telling, though there's only a week or two left before the bombing may begin. That's why I'm particularly happy this film is coming out at this moment. If one individual in Washington gets that message by seeing this movie, and unloads a file-drawer of revelatory current documents to the press and Congress, it could make a great difference. A wars worth of lives is at stake.

The Taliban offered to
hand bin Laden over to a neutral third country for trial in the World Court if damning evidence about his role in the September 11, 2001 attacks was provided. It would seem that the only reason bin Laden is currently on the loose is because we refused to offer any evidence whatsoever to the Taliban (or anyone else).

Speaking of Using Chemical Weapons on Your Own People...
On Feb. 15, Israeli airplanes sprayed toxic chemicals on 5,000 acres of crop land in unrecognized Bedouin villages in the Negev (Naqab) desert. The villages are home to some
20,000 Bedouin with Israeli citizenship. The airplanes belonged to the Israeli Lands Administration (ILA). People in the fields, including the elderly and children, were also sprayed.

The Bush administration vowed that there would be no media censorship in the upcoming

liberation campaign in Iraq.
Despite the widely reported recent assassination of a Hamas leader by Israeli missiles, Israel has, in fact, been secretly
backing Hamas over the PLO so they can claim to be the only legitimate "democracy" in the region.
The Bush administration arrested family members of victims from the Sept. 11 attacks, along with relatives of military members who have gone overseas in preparation for a possible war, for protesting near the White House.
Andrew J. O'Conner of Santa Fe, New Mexico, a former public defender from Santa Fe, was arrested in a public library and interrogated by Secret Service agents for five hours on February 13th. His crime? He said "Bush is out of control" on an Internet chat room, and was arrested for threatening the President.

Dueling Stories
Of all the milestones in the Bush administration's 18-month campaign against terrorism, the apprehension of Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, possibly the most fearsome of Osama bin Laden's chief lieutenants, came at a critical juncture.
Now it has emerged that Kuwaiti national Khalid Shaikh Mohammed did indeed perish in the raid, but his wife and child were taken from the apartment and handed over to the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), in whose hands they remain.

WHO'S GOING TO HELL THIS WEEK?
March 10, 2003
UNDO THE COUP
After the Iraqi invasion of Kuwait in 1990, a group backed by the Kuwait government-in-exile hired a US public relations firm to devise a campaign to win American support for the war. The high point was the use of the daughter of Kuwait's ambassador to the US as a star witness to a congressional hearing into the Iraq invasion. Under an assumed name, she said: "I saw Iraq soldiers come into the hospitals with guns, and go into a room where 15 babies were in incubators. They took the babies out of the incubators, took the incubators and left the babies on the cold floor to die." She later admitted she had lied."
So why did Saddam Hussein invade Kuwait? Before the invasion, the US ambassador to Iraq, April Glaspie, said the US would not interfere. It was a reasonable expectation. Saddam was a US ally against Iran, so much so that between 1985 and 1989, dozens of biological agents were shipped to Iraq from the US under licence from the Commerce Department, despite the fact that Iraq had been reported to be engaging in chemical and possibly biological warfare against Iranians, Kurds and Shiites since the early 1980s.
And Iraq had real grievance against Kuwait. According to Saddam, Kuwait had been exceeding its OPEC oil production quota and this was depressing the price of oil and Iraq's revenue, which was needed to pay for its war with Iran. Saddam believed Saudi Arabia and Kuwait owed part of Iraq's debt for its war against Iran because Iraq was protecting both these
countries against Iran. And to add insult to injury, Kuwait was drilling into Iraq's share of the Rumaila oil field which straddles both countries.
So why did Saddam expel UN weapons inspectors in 1998? He didn't. The head of the inspection team, Richard Butler, ordered the inspectors to leave Baghdad in anticipation of an attack. The Russian ambassador, Sergei Lavrov, criticized Butler for withdrawing the inspectors without seeking the permission of the UN Security Council.
Weapons Inspectors were spies for the U.S. That claim has been denied as propaganda but subsequently has been proven to be the truth, not propaganda. The truth is, getting rid of Saddam Hussein would be the "regime change" that would give America control of Iraq's 100 billion barrels of oil reserves.
REVISED HISTORY FROM HELL
During the first Gulf War, between 1990 and 1991, the United States military incurred: 467 individuals wounded in action, 148 killed in battle, and 145 killed in other than battle (i.e. accidents). Therefore, the total number of
US Gulf War casualties was 760 at the time of redeployment. But as of May 2002, additional Gulf War casualties include 8,306 veterans dead and 15,9705 veterans injured or ill as a consequence of Gulf War I.
IRONY FROM HELL
Germany and Russia are trying to stop us from invading a smaller country.
MUSICAL CHAIRS FROM HELL
A month after the Sept. 11 attacks, Usurper Bush released a list of the world's most-wanted terrorists. There were 22 names on it. Khalid Shaikh Mohammed was No. 22, and the list wasn't alphabetical. Somehow between then and last week, when Mohammed was captured in Pakistan, he was moved up from last to first place in the terrorist sweepstakes.
How did that happen?
LAWSUIT FROM HELL
Last December 2, survivors of the 1984 Bhopal catastrophe - for which Union Carbide, later acquired by Dow, was responsible - deployed themselves outside Dow's Bombay headquarters for a two-hour protest. As a result, one very important Dow employee exited the building and spent several minutes of valuable work time in conversation.
During those minutes, the protesting women complained to the employee that the Bhopal accident site, which has never been cleaned up, continues to leak mercury, lead and other chemicals into the groundwater. The women noted that over the years, 15,000 Bhopal residents have died from such secondary effects of the accident, in addition to the 5,000 people who died on the spot, and that one Bhopal resident still dies every day from gas-exposure related diseases. The survivors asked the employee why Dow, which settled Union
Carbide's asbestos liabilities in the U.S., refuses to settle its liabilities for Bhopal in India.
The Dow employee, Finance Director Anand Vohra, promised the women that he would personally recommend "that action should be taken to alleviate the plight of gas-affected people in Bhopal" - words that led to cheering, clapping, and deep sighs of relief from the women.
Dow's actual reaction? They are
suing the 200 women for a $10,000 "loss of work" fee for the time Vohra spent outside instead of inside doing his job.

SITES FROM HELL
Why is Tony Blair so happy with his nose up Bush's butt? He's got a little cabal of his own. Check out
Who's in Bed with Tony.
Where does Bush get all his bad ideas? If he could read, I'd say
here.
Fuck the assholes making snide remarks against France for refusing to take the side of the United States in an illegal and immoral war. France, which speaks with the strongest, most logical voice of those opposing war, are heroes and, in fact,
America's true friend.
Oh, by the way, if the U.S. attacks Iraq without support of the U.N. Security Council, the world is not powerless to stop it. Employing a legal procedure called
Uniting for Peace, the U.N. General Assembly can demand an immediate cease-fire and withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq. This alternative is neither utopian nor impractical. It has been employed ten times in the past at the behest of the United States.

Reader Comment
Musicians Strike
Not only are the pit musicians striking on B'way, but the Houston Symphony is now officially on strike for the first time in its history. I think it started in 1912 or something like that.
Way back in high school, I played in a pit orchestra (1st violin) in our high school musicals for two years. We did Oklahoma! and South Pacific. I was 14 and 15 years old at the time. Pit orchestras are one of the most difficult forms of playing around, IMHO. Broadway has my sympathies.
The symphony board wants the musicians to have a pay cut. They are refusing. We have a world class symphony here, thanks to our past music director Christoph Eschenbach, and present, Hans Graf, and the Bubbas are willing to throw it away. But we have a new baseball park, a new football park, are building a new basketball park......it's not lack of money, it's a lack of people who want Houston to be a world class city. World class city means first rate ballet, opera, theater and symphony. We have had all these at the same time in the recent past, but we are slipping. We also can't feed the hungry, house the homeless, give medical care to handicapped children, or take care of the mentally ill .
Strange priorities here in redneck-land. This town has a history of oil men with too much money and not enough taste. They spread their money around accordingly.
~~ Sharon
Thanks, Sharon!
Here on the left coast almost all the musician contracts have been gutted. For example, Disneyland used to employ hundreds of musicians - now, there are 6 - even the parade music is canned. Muzak at the dentists office is not only more listenable, palatable & complex, it's also less tinny, and no where as near overblown as what Disney wants you to think is their 'experience'. Yuck.
Having lived the hellish experience that is 'IATSE' in LA, I love seeing the NYC unions remember what hanging together means.
Let there be no question, in my world 'IATSE' stands for 'International Alliance of Thieves, Shits and Extortionists'. Some night I should tell my story of how IATSE milked my family for over $72,000, plus dues, & then dumped the contract.
And, I gotta wonder, were the musicians at Disneyland treated the same manner?

A lantern bears an illustration of U.S. resident George W. Bush as the Messiah, standing waist-deep in oil, at the 'Morgestraich' carnival of Basel, Switzerland, March 10, 2003.
On the stroke of 4 a.m., the street lighting of the whole town is put out and the carnival groups play their first march called 'Morgestraich' which starts the traditional carnival
of Basel. Only the carnival groups lanterns illuminate the town, painted again every year and dealing with actual events, which are made fun of.

Ely Finally Honors
Pat Nixon
Ninety-one years ago, Pat Nixon was born in a miner's shack high in the mountains of eastern Nevada. Now, locals are finally getting around to honoring her.
After putting the former first lady's face up on a library mural last year, a group of residents is considering more ambitious plans to recognize her, including a Pat Nixon museum.
They think the tribute is long overdue, noting the loyal wife of President Nixon has been largely ignored in this historic mining town about 320 miles east of Reno.
Located along U.S. 50 — dubbed "The Loneliest Road in America" — the town of about 4,000 features quaint stores, churches and houses dating back to the boom in the early 1900s.
The particulars of Pat Nixon's birth — and even her name — also have been without consensus and marked by some controversy.
Even she was unsure about her origins, incorrectly listing her birth date as March 17, 1913, on a Social Security application form.
For the rest, Pat Nixon

System of a Down
Shavo Odadjian
System of a Down bass player Shavo Odadjian sued a Grand Rapids security company, saying its employees assaulted him during a concert.
The 28-year-old rocker claims the guards elbowed him in the face and dragged him out of the arena when he tried to go backstage with two girls while another band was playing.
He filed a lawsuit in Kent County Circuit Court against DK Security. Grand Rapids police investigated the situation but did not seek any charges.
Odadjian claims he did nothing to provoke the guards. He says he suffered "serious personal injuries and damages including his face, nose, eye, shoulder, back; and he was caused to suffer pain and bleeding in his nose for long periods of time."

Engagement News
Bridget Fonda
Banged-up Bridget Fonda can count on receiving some TLC from her new fiancé, composer Danny Elfman.
The couple's engagement was confirmed Monday morning by the actress' publicist Nancy Seltzer, who said the beauty and the music man were betrothed "long before" Fonda's serious car crash
two weeks ago and that "they're really happy." No other details were released.
This is a first marriage for Fonda, 39, most recently the gal-pal of Dwight Yoakam and a former romantic roomie of Eric Stoltz, and it's a second walk down the aisle for Elfman, 49.

Earl Camembert Speaks
Eugene Levy
Eugene Levy and Steve Martin relied on more than just their comedic chops to "bring down the house."
Levy said the actors used their down time on the set to jam on their instruments. "I'd bring a guitar and Steve would bring his banjo. I'd go into his trailer and (ask) him to play
something — that was a kick for me," the actor told AP Radio. "He's an amazing virtuoso on the banjo."
While playing music may come naturally to Levy, the same thing can't be said for his use of lingo. When asked if he tried to use any off the set, he responded with a laugh.
"I don't think that would be a wise thing," he said. "It seemed to work on camera — I let it go at that."

Promises Clean Show in Vegas
Celine Dion
When Celine Dion launches her three-year stint in Las Vegas on March 25, she promises to keep the show family-oriented.
The singer tells Time magazine people think her husband-manager, Rene Angelil, is going to gamble away all their money and their son is going to be raised by strangers.
"We don't live in a casino, and I'm not going to change diapers on a craps table," Dion says.
Dion says she'll leave home at 4:30 in the afternoon and be home by 10:30 at night. She's not worried about her voice because she'll be singing for only 90 minutes per show.
According to Dion, the casino doesn't want the show to go any longer because "they want people to go back and lose money" at the slot machines.

Honor Space Aliens
New Mexico
A New Mexico legislator proposed on Monday having the state honor all extraterrestrial beings with a special day that will "celebrate and honor all past, present and future extraterrestrial visitors" to New Mexico, the measure reads.
Rep. Dan Foley, a Republican from Roswell, the spot where some say aliens crash-landed more than 50 years ago, said he introduced the legislation to "enhance relationships among all the citizens of the cosmos, known and unknown."
Extraterrestrial Culture Day would be held the second Thursday of February and would honor space travelers from other worlds and even give a nod to creatures made famous in movies, such as E.T. in Steven Spielberg's 1982 blockbuster film.
"If we can capitalize on something that did or did not happen in 1947 then it can help the entire state," Foley said.

Boston city clerk Rosario Salerno holds a purchase order dated Jan. 30, 1771, signed by John Hancock, Monday, March 10, 2003, at City Hall in Boston. Hancock was a Town of
Boston selectman at the time the document was signed. The purchase order reimburses a doctor for supplies used at the Rainsford Island quarantine hospital. Boston's Archives

document. Before removing it from eBay the last bid was $2,500. Hancock's signature is second from the bottom on the right corner.

Enjoys Typecasting
Tom Arnold
Tom Arnold says he likes playing "the fat white guy" in the movies.
One actor who had trouble keeping his cool around Arnold was Steven Seagal. The pair worked together on "Exit Wounds."
"I probably owe (him) an apology. I thought he was being weird, but it turns out the reason he was so jumpy was because there were hit men on the set," Arnold said. "If I'd
known that, I may have (cut) him some slack. He was very nervous when you came up behind him."
He says Seagal was so nervous, he had trouble concentrating on the set. "I remember him asking, 'Who's that guy?' because he was confused a lot."

Woody Harrelson Bus Trip
'Go Further'
The chronicle of Woody Harrelson's spring 2001 bus trip — reminiscent of Ken Kesey's 1960s journey with the Merry Pranksters — is making its world premiere at the South by Southwest film festival.
Director Ron Mann calls it "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test on tofu."
"Go Further" follows the former "Cheers" star and Oscar nominee for "The People vs. Larry Flynt" during his environmentally conscious trek from Seattle to Santa Barbara, Calif. It's showing several times during the festival, which ends Saturday.
Mann, a Canadian filmmaker whose previous works include "Poetry in Motion," about the Beat Generation poets, and "Twist," about dance, knew Harrelson from "Grass," his 1999 documentary about marijuana, which Harrelson narrated.

DirecTV Wants To Shed
Disney's ABC Family Channel
The Walt Disney Co. and DirecTV have opened hostilities over the renewal of Disney's ABC Family Channel.
The most drastic consequence of the skirmish is that DirecTV could remove ABC Family from its service when the contract expires at the end of the month.
DirecTV senior VP of programming Michael Thornton fired the first shot in the clash by saying that Disney is demanding "astronomical" rate increases for ABC Family that the satellite distributor "can't keep passing along to our subscribers."
Thornton said Disney wants to inflate the cost of ABC Family by 35 percent. He declined to be more specific. But, according to one estimate, the new contract proposal by Disney, spread out over DirecTV's subscriber base of 11.3 million
homes, could add another $10 million a year to the $28 million DirecTV now forks over for ABC Family.

Breaks Music Fan's Skull
Flying Sheep Head
A flying sheep's head hit a concertgoer and fractured his skull at a concert of metal band Mayhem.
The band, part of Norway's death metal music scene, was carving up a dead sheep as part of its stage act when the animal's head flew off lead singer Maniac's knife and struck Per Kristian Hagen, 25.
Mayhem member Rune Eriksen, whose stage name is Blasphemer, said the incident was unfortunate.
"The whole thing was an accident, but maybe it would be an idea for another show," he said.
