Another Healthcare Triumph: Murtha Dead

Posted on Posted in K Street Y, warriors

Representative John Murtha died as a Hawk who had been loved by the righteous wingers until he asked for withdrawal from Iraq. He is being denounced widely among the godspiel and the post. None among them see how ironic it is that this hawk could die so easily under the best of the world medical practice. That is the ironic component to this. His widow will not be able to sue for negligence after the Republican health care bill is passed, but then how could it be negligence. He was operated on in the best of the best, yahoo buckaroo, this is a free cut zone. To every doctor freedom to kill, no need for skill. Lay him into the mud you dug. Stamp his ground down, and walk away proud to be a Republican. Tea anyone?

Terrorist Recidivism

Posted on Posted in K Street Y, paradox lost

Secret report shows… Not much secret, people who spend time in prison become criminalized. People who spend time in gyms build muscles… people who spend time in …. Almost like making cookies, these phrases take shape too easily to have much meaning. How about this set of concepts. Gitmo prisoners have approximately a 20% rate of recidivism. Compare that with this graphic showing the US rate of recidivism:recidivism.gifNotice that violent criminals return to crime at over 60% rate, even under the Reagan “law and order” series.

Looks to me that this 20% rate of renewed enemy activity is closer to a re-enlistment rate for combat units in the Marines. Hell, it seems that the enemy is less likely to return to action than any US criminal will return to crime. I hope it doesn’t mean that Gitmo cures terrorism, but maybe, just maybe. More likely though is that the bulk of those picked up were part time soldiers, reservists that once they’ve carried a body bag aren’t likely to sing the glory songs of enlistees again.
