German ministers ‘knew about CIA torture cells’

This is huge. Stern magazine has documents that show 1) the existence of secret U.S. prisons in Europe, 2) that torture was used, and 3) that German ministers knew.
Antiwar protests this Saturday

ANSWER national has full details for the demonstrations in Los Angeles, San Francisco, New York City, Seattle, and Chicago.
If this was a government of, by and for the people, the November 2006 election would be a referendum on Iraq. The popular will of the people is to end the war against Iraq. But the question of Iraq is not on the ballot. Most people will only have the chance to vote for politicians from one of the Twin Parties of Militarism. Protest on October 28th, and force the call for immediate withdrawal onto the U.S. political stage .
Momentum for these demos has been building steadily the past several days and they could be sizable. Let’s get into the streets. Only the people can end the wars.
Blogger and the elections

Blogger has been having serious problems lately. Quite often lately I’ll try several Blogger blogs and get “internal server error 500″ on all of them.
AmericaBlog says Blogger, which is erratic on a good day, probably won’t be will be able to handle the upcoming crush of election-related blogging.
Blogger is owned by Google. But they’ve orphaned it from Day One. For free stable hosting for blogging, I suggest WordPress.com, which is where my tech blog is. It’s solid, virtually always up, plus WordPress has way more features than Blogger.
Palm Springs fire

Santa Ana winds happen in hot weather, they are bone dry with steady, strong winds. That’s what’s fueling the Esperanza fire in Cabazon near Palm Springs. Four firefighters are dead as I write this and it was arson. This is a bad one.
Update: Forecast is for continued Santa Ana winds Fri. and Sat. Since it was arson and four are dead, this is now a murder investigation.
