About Ms Lingle.<br /><br />All I've ever read was the testimony of the State Officials.<br /><br />Another shortcoming of the character, seems as likely as not.<br /><br />The "<i><b>Old Man and the Boy</b></i>"<br /><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Old-Man-Robert-Chester-Ruark/dp/0805002391/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top/280-7609265-7871517" rel="nofollow">Robert Raurk</a> writing in character.<br /><br />Fabulous book, I suggest scrolling down, then reading the comments.<br /><br />Ruark was a favorite of mine as a youngster, the images of Africa in turmoil, compelling. This culmenated in his best "serious" work, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Something-Value-Robert-Ruark/dp/089966816X" rel="nofollow">"Something of Value"</a>. Which became a movie that I do not think I have ever seen.<br /><br />While today there are two different versions of the Emergency to choose from:<br /><br />1. <i><b>Imperial Reckoning: The Untold Story of Britain's Gulag in Kenya</b></i>:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.youseemore.com/ParkCity/hottitles.asp?loc=2&isbn=0805076530&Author=Caroline+Elkins&Title=Imperial+Reckoning%3A+The+Untold+Story+of+Britain%27s+Gulag+in+Kenya" rel="nofollow">by Caroline Elkins</a>.<br /><br /><i>Library Journal: By analyzing primary sources—including archival material and interviews with hundreds of Kikuyu survivors as well as British and African loyalists, Elkins (history, Harvard Univ.) has unearthed a chilling account of colonial British detention camps and villages during the Mau Mau insurrection between 1952 and 1960. ... . Further findings reveal that a large number of women and children were not detained in the official camps but in about 800 enclosed villages surrounded by "spiked trenches, barbed wire, watchtowers, and patrolled by armed guards" and that during the insurrection, the British imposed their "<b>authority with a savagery that betrayed a perverse colonial logic.</b>" <br /><br />This compelling account of the British colonial government's atrocities can be compared to Adam Hochschild's "King Leopold's Ghost". <br /><b>Highly recommended for both public and academic libraries.</b>—Edward McCormack, Univ. of Southern Mississippi Gulf Coast Lib., Long Beach</i>.<br /><br />Then there is the second version of the Emergency, the one I was raised with, and still believe is the most effective way to quell an insurrection.<br /><br /><i>From October 1952 to December 1959, Kenya was under a state of emergency arising from the Mau Mau rebellion against British rule.<br /><br />The governor requested and obtained British and African troops, including the King's African Rifles. In January 1953, Major General Hinde was appointed as director of counter-insurgency operations. The situation did not improve for lack of intelligence, so General Sir George Erskine was appointed commander-in-chief of the colony's armed forces in May 1953, with the personal backing of Winston Churchill.<br /><br />The capture of Warũhiũ Itote (aka General China) on 15 January 1954, and the subsequent interrogation led to a better understanding of the Mau Mau command structure. Operation Anvil opened on 24 April 1954, after weeks of planning by the army with the approval of the War Council. The operation effectively placed Nairobi under military siege, and the occupants were screened and the Mau Mau supporters moved to detention camps. <br /><br /><b>May 1953 also saw the Home Guard officially recognized as a branch of the Security Forces. The Home Guard formed the core of the government's anti-Mau Mau strategy as it was composed of loyalist Africans, not foreign forces like the British Army and King's African Rifles</b>. <br /><br />By the end of the emergency the Home Guard had killed 4686 Mau Mau, amounting to 42% of the total insurgents. The capture of Dedan Kimathi on 21 October 1956, in Nyeri signified the ultimate defeat of the Mau Mau and essentially ended the military offensive</i>.<br /><br />If you cannot form up the loyal native troops, there is little chance of long term success.<br /><br />Proven time and again.<br /><br />But the Library Journal does not support that perspective to the Emergencydesert rathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02369546288659566961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21297199.post-85909572856370436922009-07-28T18:44:08.263-04:002009-07-28T18:44:08.263-04:00Lingle DID instruct.

Obama’s original birth certificate <b>on record in accordance with state policies and procedures,</b>" Fukino said. <br /><br />Fukino said that no state official, including Gov. Linda Lingle, ever instructed that Obama's certificate be handled differently from any other</i>. <br /><br />Parse the language, carefully, the truth is there.
