Karachi violence claims nearly 100 livesMeanwhile, Canada formally ended its combat role in Afghanistan on Thursday... a mission that cost 157 Canadian soldiers their lives since 2002.

The death toll in Karachi's newest round of violence has reportedly claimed more than 90 lives since Tuesday, as security forces in the city have been given orders to shoot gunmen on sight (ET, BBC, DT, Dawn, AP, Reuters, ET, Times, BBC, DT, Tel, AJE, CNN). Much of the city was quiet after the Muttahida Qaumi Movement (MQM) called for a day of mourning today, though they canceled a planned protest rally amidst fears of greater violence (Dawn, DT, Dawn, Dawn, Dawn). Pakistan's interior minister Rehman Malik announced the deployment Thursday of 1,000 paramilitary Frontier Corps personnel to help quell the violence (ET, AFP).

Gay troops cheer court rulingSure beats taking out the 'fag baiter-haters'... doesn't it boys and girls? The people you'll be killing won't even have that word in their language, and as a bonus, they're not white, which makes murder under the color of illegitimate authority soooo much easier to wrap your sold-out minds around.

BAGHDAD – Gay U.S. troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan said Thursday that a federal appeals court order to stop enforcement of the “don’t ask, don’t tell” policy puts them one step closer to revealing their sexual orientation without fear of retribution or dismissal.
A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit ordered the Pentagon on Wednesday to cease investigations and discharges of service members in violation of the ban on gays serving openly in the military... ...The Defense Department will comply with the court order and took steps late Wednesday to begin informing the forces of the change, according to Marine Col. Dave Lapan, a Pentagon spokesman.
But plans to end the ban on gays in uniform, as outlined in a law passed in December, will continue as scheduled, senior military officials said Thursday. [More @ the Washington Post]
The ExiledA trip down memory lane for me here... I was a 14 year old runaway from Brooklyn in 1968. I crashed at the bass player for David Peel and the Lower East Side’s tenement on East 11th street and hung out at the Cooper Square free store. I DID try to make it to Chicago for the 1968 Democratic National Convention and Police Riot but got picked up by the police in the Jersey City train yard and shipped home (for a day or two).

Radicals, Imbeciles & FBI Stooges: From Jerry Rubin To Rich Fink, We’ve Reached Rock-Bottom, Baby!
By Mark Ames
I just came across a massive dump of FBI files on the YIPPIES (PDF)–the legendary 60?s youth movement led by Jerry Rubin and Abbie Hoffman. They declassified and released over 6,600 pages of FBI surveillance and intel on the Yippies—unfiltered, a direct wormhole to that era.
And what an awful fucking era it was. People were either mean or stupid, on a scale that almost makes you appreciate today’s problems. Almost.
I spent a few obsessed hours amazed at the sheer scale of the FBI’s (and other services’) surveillance and infiltration into the Yippies—it’s a lot uglier, a lot more demoralizing and less romantic, than that cartoon movie about The Chicago 10 would have you think.
What becomes clear after the first few hundred pages is that they considered the Yippies to be a real threat–and from the material collected, it’s easy to see why the Yippies really were such a serious threat to established power, much more serious than we remember them in our filtered way. They weren’t just against the draft or the Vietnam War or against stuffy old people with short hair; the radicals in the 60’s were against capitalism.
The 60's radicals were nothing at all like the version we get today, which portrays the hippies and revolutionaries as a bunch of spaced-out New Age nudists who just want to be left alone to screw, get high and dance without being bothered by “The Man.”... [Theres More]
