Can you get Kiesling's email address. Thousands should be writing him personally for his stand.

I could like to have Kiesling's email address to thank him for his stand. Can you send it to me?
Thank you - Mary

Thank God for men like Mr Kiesling for having clarity of vision in these dark times.

Thank You!
We are being cowed by the insideous right wing propaganda machine - there is no liberal media.
Unamerican to descent. Ba, humbug; Where do these cretins come from? A greatful Amereican, Michael Mulvihill.
PS Mr. Kiesling's email address please.

Honors to Mr. Kiesling. A true American hero.
Outspoken gentlemen like Mr. Kiesling shine a light to us who are trying to find a way to be heard.
PLEASE forward Mr. Kiesling's email address to us so we may thank him.

Please send me John Brady Kiessling's address - e-mail or postal - as I would like to write him a thank you for his courageous action. Thanks - Mary A. Bodde, SC

Why is it people do not question the antecedents of one's position ? -- how is it that mere eloquence, particularly when it supports a position, is deemed 'the word' ? -- is this the first time in 20 years of government service [ 5 presidents ] that Kiesling's principles have been compromised ? -- you realize, of course, that he is 45 years old, has spent most of his life in the opulence of foreign service, has lived abroad for much of it -- yeah, I would say that he is in touch with the American spirit -- courageous? -- heroic? -- clarity of vision ? -- give me a break !!! -- he, and many others among us, need a reality check !!!

My warmesst support and applause to this brave man - I am a reired Foreign SErvice O. and know
how difficult it must have been -
Here in France we are alarming and bewildering our oldest and best friends with this clumsy jingo-ism and bible thumping
This Iraq situation is getting very serious - a geopolitical fault line comparable to fall of Berlin wall ? Bush and his group of of simplistic jingoes have made a complete balls of presenting what is a perfectly good case ? and have delayed and wasted time assembling a massive military overkill worthy of the Normandy landings ? against a 9th rate wretched potential enemy who has been under embargo for 11 years -

If we feel it is time to establish a pax Americana in M/E - then lets set forth our objectives and gather a coalition for that ? and we make it clear that such a policy includes a balance between legitimate interests of both Israel and Arabs -

The French are an old, sophisticated, and proud nation ? they have indeed always been individualistic and maddening - in private and public life -
This practice of deflating American egos goes back to the Roosevelt / De Gaulle relationship - when FDR was violently opposed to CDG and French aspirations in general ? if the French owe anybody anything it is rather the brits and Winston -
US intervention in both great European wars came after the turning points in those conflicts - Verdun and Stalingrad - obviously new material and fresh blood shortened both wars - but the Prussians had lost before the doughboys got here -

Like it or not ? De Villepin has demonstrated skills which leave the state dept looking pretty amateurish ? yet when the chickens come home to roost I am afraid it will be Powell who gets the chop ? not Rumsfield -

when a medium size second rank power like France can put together a coalition against usa policy which includes china, germany and russia ? then uncle sam had better start looking at how he could have done a better job selling his case ? Blair has already lost his next election for the privilege of being the cherry on the frosting of the heavy fruit cake -
I don?t see any signs of polish - Spanish or Italian troops in Kuwait -
Oddly enuff ?I know for a fact that American special forces are training with French commandos and the foreign legion in Djibouti right now -

Much applause to John Brady Kiesling.
Does anyone know if this ran in the mainstream press? Is there another, commonly credible source of verification I can use to pass the letter on?

Like many others, I would like to personally thank Mr Kiesling for demonstrating personal integrity and courage.
Wish I could find him...

It originally ran in the New York times -- follow the link above -- but my guess is that, by this time, it's been archived. Hey, Circulars is credible!

It no doubt sounds a bit precious, but, to my knowledge, those in government service swear allegiance to the constitution and do not, at least publicly, swear fealty to ANY individual. Well in the U.S. anyway, or so it is supposed to be. Perhaps there are others that will remember this. One can hope, even now, no?

Who cares if some liberal left winger resigns?????? More than likely he's just another lazy coniving left winger who doesn't feel like working and is using this as his excuse to go on the dole. Do you really think his resigning will have any impact at all on public opinion????? I wonder how JBK or any of you Bush-haters would feel if you were hauled off into an Iraqi torture chamber to have your balls eltrocuted, body raped, fingernails torn off or be completely submerged into a chemical bath ?????? You self-righteous pukes ought to be ashamed of yourselves for placing your political hatred of the Republican Party over morality. You live in the most free and open society in the world and all you ever do is nit-pick and fault find!!!! Do you think for one second that you could post all of your anti-everthing comments on a website like this if you lived in a pre-Saddam Iraq???? Let go of the "Bush Stole The Election" self-pity and get on with your life! If you were honest with yourselves you'd own up to the fact that Gore lost because of Slick Willie's embarrassing sexcapades, baldfaced lies and various other money laundering scandals and illegal activities. Ask yourself "How could a sitting VP not win by a landslide in a time of relative peace and prosperity????? Gore SHOULD have won that election HANDS DOWN and didn't because of CLINTON not BUSH! Get off your pitty pots and learn to GET OVR IT ONCE AND FOR ALL BECAUSE BUSH WILL PREVAIL ONCE AGAIN IN 2004 BY A LANDSLIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very nice blog

Our next line looks familiar, except it starts with an asterisk. Again, we're using the star operator, and noting that this variable we're working with is a pointer. If we didn't, the computer would try to put the results of the right hand side of this statement (which evaluates to 6) into the pointer, overriding the value we need in the pointer, which is an address. This way, the computer knows to put the data not in the pointer, but into the place the pointer points to, which is in the Heap. So after this line, our int is living happily in the Heap, storing a value of 6, and our pointer tells us where that data is living.

But variables get one benefit people do not

We can see an example of this in our code we've written so far. In each function's block, we declare variables that hold our data. When each function ends, the variables within are disposed of, and the space they were using is given back to the computer to use. The variables live in the blocks of conditionals and loops we write, but they don't cascade into functions we call, because those aren't sub-blocks, but different sections of code entirely. Every variable we've written has a well-defined lifetime of one function.

Each Stack Frame represents a function. The bottom frame is always the main function, and the frames above it are the other functions that main calls. At any given time, the stack can show you the path your code has taken to get to where it is. The top frame represents the function the code is currently executing, and the frame below it is the function that called the current function, and the frame below that represents the function that called the function that called the current function, and so on all the way down to main, which is the starting point of any C program.

These secret identities serve a variety of purposes, and they help us to understand how variables work. In this lesson, we'll be writing a little less code than we've done in previous articles, but we'll be taking a detailed look at how variables live and work.
