KO Special Comment FISA Veto - Feb 14, 2008

A part of what I will say, was said here on Jan. 31. Unfortunately it is both sadder and truer now than it was then.

“Who’s to blame?” Mr. Bush also said this afternoon, “Look, these folks in Congress passed a good bill late last summer.... The problem is, they let the bill expire. My attitude is: If the bill was good enough then, why not pass the bill again?”

Like the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution. Or Executive Order 90-66. Or The Alien and Sedition Acts. Or slavery.

Mr. Bush, you say that our ability to track terrorist threats will be weakened and our citizens will be in greater danger. Yet you have weakened that ability!

You have subjected us, your citizens, to that greater danger! This, Mr. Bush, is simple enough for even you to understand.

Progress in Kenya

Kenya constitution 'within year'

Kenya's government and opposition party have agreed to write a new constitution within a year, a government negotiator has said.

Mutula Kilonzo told Reuters news agency that the parties had "reached agreement on a wide-ranging sphere of issues"

The deal comes after talks aimed at bringing an end to the post-election violence which has left at least 1,000 people dead.

So it seems that Kenya is finally making progress in healing and repairing a damaged nation. While I'm overjoyed at this apparent progress, the sceptic in me will reserve judgement until this progress transcends the negotiating table and actually begins to affect the populace. Nevertheless, this is a step the right direction. Good Luck to Kenya and her people.

Kenya Help?

After my last post, readers asked how they could help the situation in Kenya.

Here are some of the usual suspects, plus a few others.

Save The Children
American Friends of Kenya
Global Impact - This also has a listing of various other charities doing work in Kenya

This is by no means a complete list. If anyone out there is aware of more ways to help, please leave a comment and I will append them to this post - Thanks.
