Kevin Tillman Speaks out

Kevin Tillman who is a vetran of both Afghanistan and Iraq and brother of Pat Tillman the football player who joined the Army Rangers and was sent to afghanistan. Kevin Tillman wrote an open letter addressing the lack of checks on the government. It is a very energizing piece, especially since an Army Ranger wrote it. I think the fact that someone from the military wrote it should capture people's attention and hopefully it will make everyone think, because our country has gone somewhere that none of us should have allowed, but yet we were brought here by our apathy.

Free Radocals : NewsBreak Edition

This is Free Radicals NewsBreak edition. Here is a transcript (not-verbatim)

John Hopkins University has release a report claiming that there have been over 600,000
Iraqi Civilian Casualties since the start of the Iraq War in 2003.

The John Hopkins numbers are 20 x that of Bush Administration Estimates, which puts the civilian casualty count between 30 and 50000.

President Bush himself, in a press conference in the rose garden, disagrees with the John Hopkins data and presented his view point on Iraq.



CBS News is reporting that in September alone there were over 2000 Iraqi Civilian Casualties.



In other News President Bush was asked, in the same press conference, about diplomacy and North Korea and if it is possible for Bilateral talks with the new nuclear power



Before North Korea tested the nuclear device it wanted to meet bilateraly with the United States, and the Bush administration was against the idea.



I'm KG and that is it for this Free Radicals NewsBreak. We will have more updates tomorrow.

Free Radicals

In the coming weeks me and my cousin Chris plan to implement a new netcast program that focuses on American Politics, Policies, and a little technology (because I am a geek at heart). We are getting our influence from "Real Time with Bill Maher," which is a program that comes on HBO Friday nights at 11.00 pm. However, since my cousin and I do not have the clout like Bill Maher, the netcast will mainly just be me and him and in segments.

I already have a friend that has helped with the theme, the theme and creator will be introduced later on, once we have worked out the creative commons for it. I love the idea of using the netcast medium for political discussion because it really utilizes free speach as a right and has a general levling of the playing ground for everybody.

Until then, this has been your Free Radical KenG.

Don't Ask Don't Tell.



I am an avid watcher of The Situation Room on CNN. Last week Jack Cafferty, the shows curmguin and honest commentator, brought up a good point: Should the US Military Repeal the "Don't Ask Don't Tell" policy. Now the history behind this policy is a bit mixed up, people believe that Clinton didn't push this policy he was given this policy. Clinton wanted to allow openly gay americans to serve in the United States Armed Services, similar to the practice in England. However the Congress only went as far to allow closeted members of the armed forces community to serve. Not that big of a deal right? Wrong, in the past five years gay officers crucial to the "War on Terror" have been dismissed for being homosexuals. Many of these officers either speak arabic or have a connection to middle east and arab intelligence. At a time when a heavy concentration of our troops are in the Middle East, I don't think we need the Army needs to dismiss them due to who they have sexual relations with.

To those that say that openly gay Armed service memebers is a bad idea because troops are going to think that their comrade is going to try to feel them up during combat have no steady argument. When women were first allowed to serve in the military many of the Army Brass argued that there would be a drop in military productivity but there wasn't. If anything knowing a deep secret about a comrade would tighten the comradery between the troops not harm it. You may ask, why, well if a homosexual tells his comrade that he is gay, it shows that he trusts his peer and could create even more trust in the unit. Now you may disagree with that, and actually if you do I want to hear it because that is one reason why I do this blog to have debate. If you want to talk to me about it my AIM is Futurepotuskg.
