The American Muslim (TAM): 3:23pm 1 review humanitarianism, disaster, international-development
http://www.theamericanmuslim.org/tam.php/features/articles/junta_obstructs_ai...; Mirza A. Beg spells it out much simpler for those who can't spell: bureaucracies (and democracies) can move resources faster than cyclones can wreak havoc, if the people behind them do more than pay lip service...

That sovereignty suddenly becomes a concern now as a barrier to directing aid where needed and knocking out this irrelevant nuttya** junta goes beyond galling.

Brian Williams&039; &039;response&039; to the military analyst story | Reclaim t…: May 10, 1:50pm 1 review military, journalism, media
http://reclaimthemedia.org/media_literacy_bias/brian_williams_response_to_the...; From the page: "What makes all of this even more astounding -- and what makes Williams' glib dismissal of these issues yesterday all the more indefensible -- is that all of these conflicts and all of this deceit was well-known long before the NYT article added more details. As I've repeatedly noted, concerns over the use by news networks of retired Generals masquerading as "independent analysts" were raised for years in multiple venues -- including by the NYT and by the astoundingly prescient Colman McCarthy in The Washington Post, and the networks simply ignored those concerns, marching along with their pro-war parade of military analysts.

But far worse, the specific, undisclosed conflicts of both McCaffrey and Downing -- the two Generals cited by Williams to prove NBC did nothing wrong -- were disclosed more than four years ago by The Nation. And there is no way that NBC and Williams can claim not to have known about them, since The Nation described those ties as specifically as could be. "
