Riggers Support the War Fighter's Mission Er's Mission Vol. 2, Issue 27 Proudly serving Logistics Support Area Anaconda July 17, 2005 RiggerRiggerss supporsupportt thethe WWarar FightFighter’ser’s missionmission By Spc. Jerome Bishop Staff writer Inside a dark, spacious warehouse on Logistics Support Area Anaconda, nine Soldiers are making their contribution to an upcoming operation taking place hundreds of miles away. The Soldiers are parachute riggers with the 623rd Quartermaster Company in support of the 372nd Transportation Company, 129th Corps Support Battalion, 507th Corps Support Group, and their mission – to prepare two week’s worth of rations and water to be air-dropped to sustain operations in Iraq. “Right now we’re loading Meals, Ready to Eat for ongoing operations,” said Staff Sgt. Matthew Hanrahan, air operations sergeant for the 623rd QM Co. “The most important thing is we’re taking people off the road by doing this. The key is sustaining the people who are setting up this operation with 15 days worth of food,” he said. “We’ll be dropping almost 4,000 cases of MREs,” Hanrahan said. “This is the only mission that has been dictated to us so far. As the operation moves on, that will dictate what we drop.” The supplies being loaded aren’t the only ones that will be dropped during the course of an operation. The riggers are prepared to get more supplies ready as time goes on. “Once [the unit we’re supplying] gets established,” Hanrahan said, “we’ll move on to support a different group.” Since their deployment started this past December, the Soldiers of the 623rd QM Co., had little opportunity to serve as parachute riggers. Much of their time is spent on the roads as convoy gun- truck escorts. Though their skills are in high de- mand, the Soldiers are excited to sup- port the war effort by doing the job they enlisted to do. “I feel like I’m making a difference,” said Pfc.

  • An Unprecedented Threat to Civil Liberties: an Essay in Honor Of
    Chemerinsky: An Unprecedented Threat to Civil Liberties: An Essay in Honor of AN UNPRECEDENTED THREAT TO CIVIL LIBERTIES: AN ESSAY IN HONOR OF NADINE STROSSEN Erwin Chemerinsky* I. INTRODUCTION I have heard it said that one does not need many heroes if one chooses wisely. Nadine Strossen is one of my heroes. In addition to being a dear friend, she is my role model of a person who combines being a committed teacher, an accomplished scholar, and an activist for social justice. About fifteen years ago, we attended a conference in San Antonio and took a long walk along the River Walk. As we did, she mentioned that she was thi,nking of running to be president of the American Civil Liberties Union ("ACLU") to replace Norman Dorsen, who led the organization so successfully for many years. As a long-time ACLU member, I was thrilled to hear this and said that I could not imagine anyone in the country who would be better. Her accomplishments as ACLU president have been enormous and have exceeded what anyone could possibly have imagined. I am honored to have been included in this symposium in Nadine's honor. As I considered_ a topic, I decided I wanted to focus on the war on terrorism and civil liberties. Without a doubt, the greatest threats to civil liberties during Nadine's presidency of the ACLU have been the events since September 11, 200 I. The unprecedented attack on American soil combined with a presidential administration totally insensitive to considerations of civil liberties have combined to create profound threats to individual liberties.

Frye, Harvard University and Afshin Zand, Independent Scholar Summer 2013. www.richardfrye.org © Richard Frye and Afshin Zand, 2013. 2nd Edition, Feb 2014. Though twenty‐three centuries apart in time, continents apart in space, their systems of republican and monarchical government ostensibly diametric opposites of each other, the Founding Fathers of America and the founders of the Iranian state were close in the realm of ideas ‐ ideas that underlie systems of governance vying to institute liberty and justice. America’s Founding Fathers were avid readers of Cyrus’s biography, the Cyropaedia, written by a student of Socrates, Xenophon, being the masterpiece among his works. Leaders at any age stand to benefit from inspiration, which plants its seeds for later manifestation and realization. Such inspiration that the Founding Fathers drew from Cyrus, amidst all the ancient and modern sources they were exposed to, was because they found his ideas and aspirations resonating with their own inmost beliefs, values and convictions. The Cyropaedia describes Cyrus’s character, that made him into an ideal ruler. It is an exposition of timeless qualities of leadership. It has since served as the World’s manual of leadership, from Alexander, Scipio, Cicero, Caesar, Machiavelli who read and drew inspiration from it, so on to our times. In the estimation of Peter Drucker, widely recognized as the father of modern management science, the first book on leadership was still the best.

Racial Profiling, the War on Terrorism and the Mass Media JOHN TEHRANIAN This Article examines and critiques media portraits of the Middle East and Middle-Eastern Americans by tracing the alarming impact of this last minstrel show on public policy and the war on terrorism The Article begins by analyzing racial profiling’s problematic discourse of legitimation, deracinating its unsound roots and charting the intricate relationship between representation and reality in the narration of the Middle-Eastern threat, especially after 9/11. The Article then examines the instrumental role of the mass media in both ossifying and perpetuating stereotypes that have rationalized policies targeting individuals of Middle- Eastern descent. Drawing on specific examples from the movies, television, music, publishing and advertising, the Article highlights the accretive impact of entertainment content on the epistemology of fear and the grave and underappreciated toll of such representations on the Middle-Eastern American community. Finally, the Article also calls for some modest but concrete reforms in the entertainment industry as a starting point for providing more balanced depictions of the Middle East and of Middle- Eastern Americans.

HARVEY, Secretary of the Army 101 Army Pentagon Room 3E-506 Washington, D.C. 20310-0101 Respondents. PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS INTRODUCTION 1. Numan Adnan Al-Kaby, a long-term lawful permanent resident of the United States and a refugee from Iraq, is presently being held indefinitely and virtually incommunicado in the custody of the United States at Camp Cropper, a detention facility operated by the United States near Baghdad, Iraq, without access to counsel and without being afforded any fair process whatsoever by which he might effectively challenge his detention. Although a military court at Camp Cropper cleared Mr. Al-Kaby of all charges and declared him an “Innocent Civilian” more than six weeks ago, he continues to be held in solitary confinement. The government’s refusal to give effect to an adjudication of innocence is unheard of in our system of justice and eviscerates the bedrock assumptions of our constitutional democracy. Left uncorrected, this system becomes one wherein an individual is not innocent until proven guilty but guilty even after being proven innocent.
