Note the date (and credit goes to Howlin for finding this) that former CIA agent Larry Johnson wrote this:
July 10, 2001, Tuesday The New York Times
By Larry C. Johnson http://www.berg-associates.com/larryc.htm
WASHINGTON -- Judging from news reports and the portrayal of villains in our popular entertainment, Americans are bedeviled by fantasies about terrorism. They seem to believe that terrorism is the greatest threat to the United States and that it is becoming more widespread and lethal. They are likely to think that the United States is the most popular target of terrorists. And they almost certainly have the impression that extremist Islamic groups cause most terrorism.
None of these beliefs are based in fact. While many crimes are committed against Americans abroad (as at home), politically inspired terrorism, as opposed to more ordinary criminality motivated by simple greed, is not as common as most people may think.

And I still want to know if that Berg Associates is related to Nick Berg's anti-war father.
"...A graduate of Haverford College, Williams received a B.A. in philosophy in 1976. Currently, he sits on a number of boards, including the Haverford College Board of Trustees, the Aspen Institute of Communications and Society Program, Washington Journalism Center, and the New York Civil Rights Coalition..."

You have freepmail too and thank you!
What Manufacturing we have left the work week can be up to 50 hrs i would guess, 40hr regular time and the rest is over time.
Your # 35 makes a great point! thank you
And he also came out and said that the fact that Roberts' father was an executive at Bethlehem Steel is part of the reason for his nomination.
That was great. Juan does not think, even if you are brilliant, you should be elevated to the Supremes if you are a white guy whose dad was an executive and you went to Harvard. He thinks it is important to overcome obstacles in your life. Kristol brings up Clarence Thomas, thus pointing out the obvious hypochrisy of Juan's position.
Very revealing of Juan's total hypocrisy.
I bet Hume will use it in his grapevine section if he hasn't all ready.
"I have a question. Is that Berg Association related in any way to Nick Berg's father. Nick Berg was beheaded in Iraq and his father was an outspoken critic of the war."
No - it stands for Business Exposure Reduction Group. Principals are:
- Larry C. Johnson (CEO and Co-founder)
- Robert J. Nieves (Owner and Founder): Special Agent for the DEA from 1969-?
- John F. Moynihan (Partner & Founder): Sr Mgr Big 6 Acct Firm (note: this isn't D.P. Moynihan's son - not sure if there is any relation such as a nephew or not).
Well, this is all incidental, I have no statistics, but
typically we work a 40 hour week, Managers and salaried employees often stay much longer, Many companies are trying ergo-friendly shifts like 4 12 hour days.
Here in the States a blue collar worker gets his 40 hours and hopes for 10 more in overtime. (usually 1.5x's hourly rate) 70 hour weeks are not uncommon.
Thanks for that information, Seattle Conservative.
BERG = Business Exposure Reduction Group
Nobody of any importance named Berg at the firm.

That would make the ACLU howl! But I know what you mean! If you don't at least know who the VP is, you should not be allowed to vote! That would make someone both dumb and dangerous.
On Matthews Sunday Show, he put up a timeline graphic showing the contacts reporters had with Rove. His graphic only said, "Rove talked to Cooper", without the critical information that it was Cooper who called Rove.
It might be logical to conclude Rove wanted to pass classified information to Cooper IF Rove had instigated the call. But he didn't. Cooper called Rove. It's as if I plan to kill somebody, but only if they come over to my house, hand me the loaded gun, and wait for me to pull the trigger. Doesn't make sense.
Thank you for looking.
We're expecting four people for company for a week and I'm freeping after cleaning one room or making one bed. LOL
Othrwise, I'd have looked it up myself.
I disagree with Charles on this one. I think Roberts is more likely to be another Rhenquist, since he studied under and clerked for him.
I'm not very comfortable any more. I'm afraid that he is only very pro business, and that's why W went for him.
The operative word in the previous sentence is ONLY. I do love the remarks he he made in the decision re the FROG.
As Brit said this a.m., he may have gone through his legal carreer making certain that he didn't disclose his feelings about any hot button issues. No speeches, no writings, no nothing...
I will be glad when this is all over, and we find out if we have found another souter or kennedy.
LOL! Thanks.
