On the Heels of the Recent Brutal Murder of A THE LETTER Oct 25, 2018 On the heels of the recent brutal murder of a The Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi, President Donald Trump chose to celebrate the assault of The Guardian reporter Ben Jacobs by an American congressman—an attack that occurred while the journalist was simply doing his job, posing questions to a politician. Montana Congressman Greg Gianforte (R) body- slammed Jacobs, knocking him to the ground and beating him severely enough to send him to the hospital. Although Gianforte pleaded guilty to a misdemeanor assault and was fined, the President of the United States praised this violent behavior at a Trump rally in Missoula, Montana, on October 18. Trump’s condoning of political violence is part of a sustained pattern of attack on a free press— which includes labeling any reportage he doesn’t like as “fake news” and barring reporters and news organizations whom he wishes to punish from press briefings and events. One of the pillars of a free and open democracy is a vibrant free press. At his inauguration the President of the United States swears to protect the U.S. Constitution, including the First Amendment. 1 This President is utterly failing to do so and actively working not simply to undermine the press, but to incite violence against it as well. In a lawsuit filed by PEN, the writer’s organization, against Donald Trump, they charge him with violating the First Amendment. We, the undersigned, past and present members of the Fourth Estate, support this action. We denounce Donald Trump's behavior as unconstitutional, un-American and utterly unlawful and unseemly for the President of the United States and leader of the free world. ### The Signatories 1.

    White House Interview Program DATE: November 2, 1999 INTERVIEWEE: ROMAN POPADIUK INTERVIEWER: Martha Kumar [Disc 1 of 1] MK: It’s on the record except where you want to go on background or off the record. Ultimately, it will end up in the library. RP: This library? MK: Yes. You get a choice of what library it goes into so I’m assuming it will be in this library. The project is trying to develop an institutional memory for seven White House offices, and Press [Office] is one of them. It’s a group of presidency scholars that are working on the project. George Edwards is one of them. We will come out in March or April with a group of standards of a successful start, which are some elements that are common to successful transitions. Then the offices’ material will be made available; some of it will probably be made available at the time the transition teams are put together. The full text of interviews will not be released until after a new president comes in. RP: Okay. Sounds good. MK: Starting off, can you talk about how you got into the White House, and how long you were? Let’s start with that, and how you got in. RP: How I actually got in to the White House? MK: Yes. RP: Well, it was back in February of 1985, but I didn’t start in the Press Office. I’ll give you a long story here. Prior to that I was in the operations [center] over at the State Department, one of the watch officers/editors I guess we were called, if I recall correctly.

  • Statement of Brian Karem
    STATEMENT OF BRIAN KAREM I write to provide you with background about myself and to tell you my side of the story regarding what happened at the Social Media Summit on July 11, 2019. I have been a political reporter for almost 40 years. I have also covered crime and wars, and I have run community newspapers. I’ve been jailed, shot at, beaten, and threatened. I am currently Playboy’s senior White House correspondent and a political analyst for CNN. I am president of the Maryland, Delaware, and District of Columbia Press Association. In 1990, I was jailed for contempt of court after refusing to disclose the name of confidential sources who helped me arrange a telephone interview with a jailed murder suspect, after which I was awarded the National Press Club’s Freedom of the Press award. I went on to work as executive editor of The Sentinel Newspapers in Maryland and as producer and television correspondent for America’s Most Wanted. I have also authored seven books. I have covered six White Houses. While I have held my current hard pass since last year, in the past I also held hard passes. My experience in the White House is important because I can tell you, point blank, that the behavior of the press corps today is tame by comparison. The first time I walked into the White House I was 25. It was 1986 and Ronald Reagan was president. The first person I met was Helen Thomas, who covered the White House under ten Presidents, and who, as it turns out, knew my great grandfather from Lebanon.

  • Edward-Said---The-Last-Interview.Pdf
    Quotation from Roland Barthes quoted by Edward Said in his book Beginnings “The only sort of interview that one could, if forced to, defend would be where the author is asked to articulate what he cannot write”. For 10 years, Edward Said, critic and political activist, lived with incurable leukemia. In the summer of 2002, almost one year before he died, one of his former students, D. D.

A More Sober Risk Calculation......................49 V. Concluding Analysis...............................58 I. INTRODUCTION This study canvasses the interaction between terror threat announcements and the civil liberties/collective security balance during the three years after September 11, 2001. Part II considers how security threat environments alter the parity between collective security and civil liberties, but emphasizes that this shift is typically not from real, verified peril, but from perception of risk.' Part I11 addresses notable post-9/11 threat warnings and the detention of terror suspects.2 It inquires whether terror threat notifications were prudently issued and an imperative mechanism to apprise the populace of realistic and verified risks.

    FOREWORD hroughout half of the 1980’s and into the early 90’s the Tprincipal target of the FBI’s New York Office was John J. Gotti, the notorious Boss of Bosses who ran the city’s most powerful crime family. Recently, after spending a decade in the research and writing of four investigative books for HarperCollins on the counterterrorism and organized crime failures of The Bureau * I came to realize that I had something in common with his son: John Angelo Gotti. Over the years both of us had become experts on the misconduct of various special agents and prosecutors working for the U.S. Department of Justice. There’s no doubt that Shadow of My Father will upend many of the public’s assumptions about that mysterious secret society of criminals J. Edgar Hoover mistakenly dubbed La Cosa Nostra. Written in John Junior’s own hand, it offers a rare inside look into “the underground kingdom” that was the Gambino family. * 1000 Years For Revenge: International Terrorism and The FBI The Untold Story (2003); Cover Up: What the Government Is Still Hiding About the War on Terror (2004); Triple Cross: How bin Laden’s Master Spy Penetrated The FBI, The CIA and The Green Berets (2006-2009); and Deal With The Devil: The FBI’s Secret Thirty-Year Relationship With A Mafia Killer(2013) . v vi Shadow of My Father This isn’t some ghost-written apologia told by an ex-wise- guy who cut a deal with the Feds and now lives under the protection of U.S.
