# Championship 2012-13 season: Club-by-club guide

The Championship will be as competitive as ever this season with all of the relegated Premier League clubs looking to return to the top flight at the first attempt.

But Wolves, Blackburn and Bolton will be facing stiff competition from plenty of other ambitious sides, including last season's play-off runners-up Blackpool plus semi-finalists Birmingham and Cardiff.

Before the action kicks off this weekend, BBC Sport experts assess each side's preparations with a club-by-club guide to the new season.

summer signing: Jacob MellisOne to watch: Paul Digby

BBC Radio Sheffield's Andrew Giddings: "Keith Hill's side will have to defy the odds to stay up again, but that is a battle Barnsley face every season at this level.

"Hill's pre-season plans have been hampered by the injury to marquee signing Mido, who looks likely to miss the first three months of the season.

"The Tykes started well last campaign and their brand of football served them well until Christmas but once Ricardo Vaz Te left and Jacob Butterfield (who joined Norwich this summer) got injured, they really struggled.

If they can get Mido fit and scoring goals they can survive and that will be their aim."

Manager: Lee ClarkLast season: 4thBest summer signing: Peter LovenkrandsOne to watch: Ravel Morrison

BBC Radio WM's John Platt: "Birmingham approach their second successive season in the second tier in much better shape squad-wise than they did this time 12 months ago.

"Only young midfielder Jordon Mutch has departed so far, but this has been more than compensated for by the arrivals of Darren Ambrose, Hayden Mullins and Ravel Morrison.

Another newcomer, Peter Lovenkrands, looks set to form a potent strike force with Marlon King.

"The goalkeeping position is interesting with the rise to prominence at the Olympics of Team GB's Jack Butland.

Another tilt at the play-offs isn't beyond Blues."

Premier League)Best summer signing: Danny MurphyOne to watch: Nuno Gomes

BBC Radio Lancashire's Andy Bayes: "When you speak to people at Blackburn, they tell you it does not do any good to spend time dwelling on last season.

It is hardly a surprise, as last season was disappointing on and off the pitch.

"With the exception of Yakubu, last season's signings didn't prove to be good enough to help the club beat the drop.

Promotion back to the Premier League is their one and only target.

"Attendances will take a substantial knock, with some fans refusing to return to Ewood Park until Steve Kean is removed as manager.

The loss of Leon Best to injury is a huge blow, and a goalscorer has to remain a priority in the transfer market."

Manager: Ian HollowayLast season: 5thBest summer signing: Scott RobertsonOne to watch: Tom Ince

BBC Radio Lancashire's Ian Chisnall: "Having lost to West Ham in the play-off final, many thought that Ian Holloway would have been lured away.

The fact that he and young stars Matt Phillips and Tom Ince are still at the club could promise another successful campaign.

Veterans Barry Ferguson and Kevin Phillips will look to bow out in style and, with the development of Angel Martinez allied to the return of Elliot Grandin, the midfield has both creativity and strength.

"Goalkeeping cover for Matt Gilks and some physical presence up front are still priorities but the team will play with flair and again be easy on the eye.

A play-off place is the minimum requirement."

Manager: Owen CoyleLast season: 18th (Premier League)Best summer signing: Keith AndrewsOne to watch: Tim Ream

BBC Radio Manchester's Jack Dearden: "A summer clearout has seen most of the big earners move on but manager Owen Coyle has retained some key personnel who could provide the platform for promotion.

"The big problem last season was the number of goals Bolton conceded, and that is one area they must improve on this time around.

The fact they have only kept one clean sheet in seven pre-season matches might give some cause for concern.

"I don't expect as many problems at the opposite end of the pitch, with Marvin Sordell set to make up for lost time and the arrival on loan of Arsenal striker Benik Afobe, whilst Kevin Davies will surely be a handful for most Championship teams."

season: 10thBest summer signing: Bruno SaltorOne to watch: Andrew Crofts

BBC Sussex's Jonny Cantor: "Albion finished a creditable 10th last season after flirting with the play-offs in their first year back in the Championship.

The form of Vicente, who has committed to another season, will be key to their fortunes.

"Thomas Kuszczak and Bruno are solid signings, Wayne Bridge could play an important role after signing on a season-long loan from Manchester City.

"Craig Mackail-Smith has struggled for goals but he and Ashley Barnes have given the Seagulls two consistent performers.

Gus Poyet is still searching for another forward - a masterstroke could be required for promotion, similar to that of Jason Roberts at Reading last season."

20thBest summer signing: Jody MorrisOne to watch: Albert Adomah

BBC Sport's Caroline Chapman: "After scrapping for survival last term, manager Derek McInnes is under pressure to keep Bristol City out of a relegation battle.

"The Scotsman has spent the summer reshaping the squad he inherited from predecessors Keith Millen and Steve Coppell, but they still seem to be missing that marquee signing that would signal their intent and direction for the season.

"However, the arrival of experienced midfielder Jody Morris certainly whetted the appetites of expectant City fans, and if McInnes can bring in the prolific goalscorer they have craved since Nicky Maynard's departure - along with a strong centre-half - things could be looking up."

summer signing: Jason ShackellOne to watch: Charlie Austin

BBC Radio Lancashire's Scott Read: "Eddie Howe is about to embark on his second full season in charge, after suffering a dip at the end of the last campaign which saw them win just three of their last 15 games.

"Howe will once again do things his way.

He has strong beliefs on how the game should be played and is building a young team that will be coached and encouraged to pass the ball.

"Tasked with replacing Jay Rodriguez this summer, the Clarets will rely on Charlie Austin, who scored 17 goals last season, along with Sam Vokes, Martin Paterson and Danny Ings to try and fire them into the play-off places."

6thBest summer signing: Craig BellamyOne to watch: Jordon Mutch

BBC Wales's Mark Poyser: "Amid the backdrop of the Malaysian owners' controversial decision to change the club's home colours from blue to red, Cardiff manager Malky Mackay has been making some shrewd signings.

"Craig Bellamy's arrival could bring the fans together after the split over the re-branding

the new players could add the 'X-Factor' that some claim was missing last year.

"If the fans put their opposition to the off-field changes to one side to support the team, and the new players gel, Cardiff will be there or thereabouts again at the top of the table after three successive play-off disappointments."

Manager: Chris PowellLast season: 1st (League One)Best summer signing: Salim KerkarOne to watch: Bradley Wright-Phillips

BBC London 94.9's Jamie Reid: "Charlton were the best side in League One last season, finishing eight points clear of second-placed Sheffield Wednesday.

Chris Powell's side broke all sorts of records on their way to their 101-point total, and justifiably won the league.

"Life in the Championship promises to be much tougher.

So far, the Addicks have only signed three new players so lots will be expected of those who performed so well last season.

"Powell is a highly respected young manager and, you feel, he will have to use all of his tactical nous if the club is to enjoy life back in a higher division."

summer signing: Joel WardOne to watch: Jonathan Williams

BBC London 94.9's Jamie Reid: "Crystal Palace manager Dougie Freedman should be proud of his achievements at Selhurst Park.

Idolised as a player by the club's fans, the Scot has adapted well to life as a manager.

"Freedman has made Palace hard to beat with a mix of experienced heads, together with some youthful exuberance.

It looks like his talented young troops will continue to get their opportunity with new signings in short supply over the summer.

"Goals were hard to come by last season but if Freedman can sign someone to make the net bulge then a mid-table finish shouldn't be beyond them."

12thBest summer signing: Richard KeoghOne to watch: Michael Jacobs

BBC Radio Derby's Colin Bloomfield: "Derby's finish in 2011-12 was their highest in five seasons.

Appointed in January 2009, Nigel Clough is the second longest serving manager in the Championship and the emergence of five players from the academy into the first team suggests the Rams continue to build for the long term rather than overnight success.

"The summer sale of star defender Jason Shackell angered supporters, but his replacement, Richard Keogh from Coventry, should be a more than capable replacement.

"New signings Paul Coutts and Michael Jacobs should provide energy and versatility to the midfield but, with money tight, the search for a prolific, proven Championship striker continues and could be the stumbling block to sustaining a credible top-six push."

Manager: Simon GraysonLast season: 4th and play-off winners (League One)Best summer signing: Oliver NorwoodOne to watch: Jordan Rhodes (if he stays)

BBC Radio Leeds' Paul Ogden: "Watching Huddersfield compete in the Championship should be fascinating; they routinely looked too good for League One, but left it very late to finally secure promotion in a bizarre Play-Off final penalty shoot-out.

However deserved it was, many fans would have preferred something more convincing.

"Their stadium and infrastructure will fit easily into the higher environment, but to survive in the Championship the squad needs to be consistently better for longer periods than in recent seasons.

"A third consecutive summer of fairly heavy recruitment could well make this possible, but Jordan Rhodes will be heavily relied on again for goals."

Manager: Steve BruceLast season: 8thBest summer signing: Nick ProschwitzOne to watch: James Chester

BBC Radio Humberside's David Burns: "When the owners, the Allams, rather disgracefully pressed the exit button on home-town hero Nick Barmby at the end of last season, you feared for the future.

In fairness though their appointment of Steve Bruce has dug them out of a hole and optimism levels are rising among the support.

"The owners' backing so far suggests a play-off place is achievable.

Much may depend on what sort of return they get from German striker Nick Proschwitz.

"The last two seasons have faltered on a lack of goals, but if Proschwitz can dovetail with Matty Fryatt then I think they'll be play-off contenders.

My only caveat is the owners don't do anything daft."

15thBest summer signing: Luke ChambersOne to watch: Michael Chopra

BBC Radio Suffolk's Graeme McLoughlin: "Last season's influx of established names promised so much at Ipswich but failed to deliver, and manager Paul Jewell knows his team will need to get off to a decent start this time around in order to satisfy a Portman Road faithful who have had little to shout about in recent years.

"Striker Michael Chopra appears to have put last season's off-field woes behind him and has had a good pre-season in terms of both goals and performances.

"However, it's at the back where Ipswich are most in need of improvement.

There'll also be pressure on new goalkeeper Scott Loach to establish himself as the number one Town have been in need of."

season: 14thBest summer signing: Lee PeltierOne to watch: Tom Lees

BBC Radio Leeds's Adam Pope: "A lot depends on if the prospective takeover occurs.

If it comes in time for funds to be released for Neil Warnock to really strengthen his side then Leeds will be at the sharp end of the Championship table.

"Fans in general want a change in regime as they feel the club lacks ambition under current chairman Ken Bates.

"However, despite the loss of star player Robert Snodgrass to Norwich City, there appears to be genuine optimism amongst fans.

Warnock is desperate to win his eighth promotion with Leeds and if he does then he claims it will be his finest achievement."

9thBest summer signing: Jamie VardyOne to watch: Kasper Schmeichel

BBC Radio Leicester's Ian Stringer: "The Foxes are some bookmakers' favourites for promotion but the expectation in the city has been tempered by the ever level-headed manager Nigel Pearson.

"I'm not too sure it will have the desired effect though, as the Leicester public believe Premier League football is around the corner.

The new-look defence will need time to settle but the strikeforce looks incredibly potent and Pearson has an embarrassment of riches in midfield.

"The Blue Army should secure a play-off place at worst with a top-two spot desired by all at the King Power Stadium."

season: 7thBest summer signing: Jonathan WoodgateOne to watch: Adam Reach

BBC Tees' Alastair Brownlee: "Boro finished just outside the top six last season which was a disappointment as for the majority of the campaign they had been in a play-off position.

"The close season has brought more change at the Riverside with Tony Mowbray bringing in seven new players and six of the previous squad have moved on.

"Marvin Emnes had a terrific season last time around scoring 18 goals.

If he can keep up that standard and a few more goals can be found from elsewhere, then the team should at least compete for a top-six finish."

16thBest summer signing: Scott MaloneOne to watch: Andy Keogh

BBC London's Deano Standing: "Millwall finished the 2011-12 campaign in promotion form.

The Lions will be looking to keep that momentum going but Kenny Jackett's men are relative minnows in financial terms.

"The manager has a settled and well balanced squad but a significant improvement on their 16th-placed finish last time round will depend on some good fortune with injuries and effectively replacing the goals of Spurs loanee Harry Kane.

"Jackett wants his side to play a passing game, and considerable investment in a new pitch at The Den should help.

Add in a passionate home support and it is possible to make a case for Millwall to be one of the dark horses."

Manager: Sean O'DriscollLast season: 19thBest summer signing: Adlene GuediouraOne to watch: Dexter Blackstock

BBC Radio Nottingham's David Jackson: "After such a traumatic season last year, it's been a summer of change at the City Ground with new owners - the Al-Hasawi family - and a new manager, albeit last season's first-team coach, in Sean O'Driscoll.

"Most fans would now happily take a season of transition - as long as that still means they stay clear of the relegation zone this time.

"Realistically they'll need their entirely new-look, and rather hastily assembled, defence to gel quickly if they're to pose any threat to the top half of the division.

They're also crying out for another goalscorer."

18thBest summer signing: Bobby OlejnikOne to watch: Kgosi Ntlhe

BBC Radio Cambridgeshire's Peter Swan: "Posh beat the drop by 10 points last time out, despite winning just four matches after New Year's Day.

Darren Ferguson has continued to invest in youth over the summer and will hope to have uncovered at least a couple of rough diamonds.

"Goalkeeper was a problem position last season so Bobby Olejnik looks like a sound investment from Torquay.

Scottish midfielder Danny Swanson could prove to be a steal should he recapture his best form.

"Overall, a third successive season of Championship football would be a great achievement for a club the size of Peterborough."

Manager: Dave JonesLast season: 2nd (League One)Best summer signing: Michail AntonioOne to watch: Rhys McCabe

BBC Radio Sheffield's Rob Staton: "Expectations are high among Sheffield Wednesday fans after winning promotion back to the Championship in dramatic style last season.

"Dave Jones knows the division better than anyone and he'll be backed by an ambitious chairman in Milan Mandaric.

Jones has added experience with goalkeeper Chris Kirkland and defender Anthony Gardner and promise with Chris Maguire and Rhys McCabe.

"This should complement a solid backbone led by the popular Jose Semedo.

Wednesday might not do a Southampton this year, but a top-half finish is achievable and it won't be a total shock if they challenge the top six."

11thBest summer signing: Almen AbdiOne to watch: Sean Murray

BBC Three Counties Radio's Jon Marks: "After another summer of huge change at Vicarage Road, there is cautious optimism amongst Watford supporters who wait to see how a new team and style of play under head coach Gianfranco Zola fares in the Championship.

"There is now off-field stability following the acquisition of the club by the Pozzo family, who have achieved great success with the clubs they own in Italy and Spain.

"The link between the Hornets, Udinese and Granada has already begun with new players arriving to bolster Zola's squad.

If the likeable Italian can get his side off to a good start then maybe last season's highly commendable mid-table finish can be bettered."

Manager: Stale SolbakkenLast season: 20th (

Premier League)Best summer signing: Bjorn SigurdarsonOne to watch: Anthony Forde

BBC Sport's Steve Marshall: "The surprise appointment of Norwegian Stale Solbakken as manager in May helped lift some of the gloom that enveloped Molineux following last season's relegation.

"But the departure of Michael Kightly to Stoke, with probably Steven Fletcher and Matt Jarvis to follow him out of the door, has now left Wolves fans wondering what this term will bring.

"There should be enough talent left at the club to mount a serious promotion challenge, but after getting into the habit of losing games last season, Wolves could do with getting off to a fast start."

Within hours of Huddersfield's League One playoff defeat, the club received enquiries for several players including Peltier.
On 22 June 2011, he signed for Championship side Leicester City, becoming Sven-Göran Eriksson's first signing of the summer after agreeing a three-year deal at the King Power Stadium. He had been recommended to Eriksson by his assistant Derek Fazackerley who had previously worked with Peltier at Huddersfield where Fazackerley had worked as Lee Clark's assistant. The initial fee was reported to be around £750,000 as part of a package worth over £1 million. On 6 August 2011, Peltier scored the winning goal during his league debut, in a 1–0 victory over Coventry City, in the opening game of Leicester's 2011–12 season. However, the club struggled for form at the start of the season which lead to Eriksson's dismissal at the end of October having spent over £10 million on new signings. Over the course of the season Peltier made 40 league appearances, scoring twice, and was the club's first choice right-back, ahead of John Pantsil.

# Air Europa Continues to Grow Latin American Market, Nears Long-Standing Competitor

An Air Europa A330-300 (Photo: Alan Wilson [CC BY-SA 2.0 (https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0)])

Over the past few years, Air Europa has been strengthening its route network between its hub in Madrid and Latin America, with flights to Guayaquil, Ecuador; San Pedro de Sula, Honduras and Cordoba, Argentina via Asuncion Paraguay, having been added in the last two years.

The airline now flies to 16 designations throughout the South American continent and aims to increase capacity by 8.5 percent in 2019 by adding three new routes and increasing capacity in existing markets.

Starting June 1, the Spanish carrier will begin flying between its base in Madrid to Puerto Iguazu, Argentina and Medellin, Colombia with twice and three times weekly frequencies, respectively, while June 3 will see the airline fly to Panama City five times weekly.

All routes will see the airline using its long-haul flagship Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner aircraft.

The routes further connect Spain with Latin America, both connected by a shared culture and language, across both North and South America.

Located in the tri-border region of Argentina's northeast edge surrounded by Brazil and Paraguay, Puerto Iguazu is an important tourism gateway for Iguazu Falls.

The largest waterfall system in the world, Iguazu Falls treats visitors with breathtaking views and a wide array of activities to partake in.

Air Europa's service marks an important milestone for the small city as it is operating the first long-haul route to land near the tourism hotspot.

On the other hand, Medellin is the second most populated city in Colombia and an important industrial and economic hub for the country, driving an increasing proportion of business traffic between Colombia and Europe.

Air Europa is set to become the third carrier to connect Medellin and Madrid, as Avianca operates daily flights and Iberia three weekly frequencies between both cities.

Air Europa's growth in the region is aided by the capabilities of the fuel efficient and highly versatile Boeing 787 Dreamliner, which became part of its fleet in 2016.

The carrier has a fleet of eight Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners and 14 Boeing 787-9 Dreamliners, with an additional 17 due to arrive by 2022.

The new incorporations of the type will help the carrier set pace for their fierce expansion plans in the region and continue to chase after Iberia, its close rival in the segment and a long-standing market leader between Europe and Latin America.

Iberia, on the other hand, has a fleet of 16 four-engine A340-600s, in addition to 14 A330-300s and two A350-900s out of an order of 14.

The new A350s are due to replace the A340-600s as they are gradually phased out of the airline's fleet and will rival Air Europa's Dreamliners.

However, the carrier's orders for long-haul airliners do not leave much room for expansion looking into the future once the A340-600s are phased out by 2023 since it will be almost an equal exchange.

Perhaps, the Spanish leader is nearing the peak at its growth curve in its leading market, while the focus is put on British Airways and LEVEL for growth and expansion in other regions such as North America, Africa and Asia.

However, slowing growth can also leave room for Air Europa to take the lead in some of Iberia's key destinations and serve new markets with potential for growth.

As a geography nerd, Jose has always been fascinated by the complexities of the airline industry and its ability to bring the world closer together.

Born and raised in Peru, now studying in the UK.

he has travelled around America, Europe and South East Asia.

His favorite aircraft is the Boeing 767-300, which he has flown many times during his childhood; although now the A350 is slowly growing up on him.

# Remembering Why Americans Loathe Dick Cheney

As the former vice president releases his memoir, it's useful to recall the many reasons why the vast majority of Americans disapproved of his tenure

When Vice President Dick Cheney left office, his approval rating stood at a staggeringly low 13 percent.

Few political figures in history have been so reviled.

As his memoir, In My Time, hits bookstores today, and he does a series of friendly interviews in the press, some Americans with short memories might wonder, "Why is it that so few were willing to endorse his performance in office?"

President Bush bears ultimate responsibility for the War in Iraq, as do the members of Congress who voted for it.

But Dick Cheney's role in the run-up to war was uniquely irresponsible and mendacious.

And after the invasion he contributed to the early dysfunction on the ground.

Even Iraq War supporters should rue his involvement.

The most succinct statement of his misdeeds comes from "The People Vs. Dick Cheney," a 2007 article by Wil S. Hylton.

The piece recounts how Cheney undercut the CIA by instructing subordinates in that agency to stovepipe raw intelligence directly to his office.

He also worked with Donald Rumsfeld to establish an alternative intelligence agency within the Pentagon.

Both of these actions directly contributed to the faulty information that informed the decision to go to war.

Hylton then lays out his most powerful argument:

(1) During the several months preceding the March 2003 invasion of Iraq, and thereafter, the vice president became aware that no certain evidence existed of weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, a fact articulated in several official documents, including: (a) A report by the Pentagon's Defense Intelligence Agency, concluding that "there is no reliable information on whether Iraq is producing and stockpiling chemical weapons, or where Iraq has--or will--establish its chemical warfare agent production facilities."

(b) A National Intelligence Estimate, compiled by the nation's intelligence agencies, admitting to "little speciﬁc information" about chemical weapons in Iraq.

(c) A later section of the same NIE, admitting "low confidence" that Saddam Hussein "would engage in clandestine attacks against the U.S. Homeland," and equally "low confidence" that he would "share chemical or biological weapons with al-Qa'ida."

(d) An addendum by the State Department's Bureau of Intelligence and Research, asserting that Hussein's quest for yellowcake uranium in Africa was "highly dubious" and that his acquisition of certain machine parts, considered by some to be evidence of a nuclear program, were "not clearly linked to a nuclear end use."

(e) A report by the United States Department of Energy, stating that the machinery in question was "poorly suited" for nuclear use.(2) Despite these questions and uncertainties, and having full awareness of them, the vice president nevertheless proceeded to misrepresent the facts in his public statements, claiming that there was no doubt about the existence of chemical and biological weapons in Iraq and that a full-scale nuclear program was known to exist, including: (a) March 17, 2002: "We know they have biological and chemical weapons."

(b) March 19, 2002: "We know they are pursuing nuclear weapons."

(c) March 24, 2002: "He is actively pursuing nuclear weapons."

(d) May 19, 2002: "We know he's got chemical and biological...we know he's working on nuclear."

(e) August 26, 2002: "We now know that Saddam has resumed his efforts to acquire nuclear weapons...

Simply stated, there is no doubt that Saddam Hussein now has weapons of mass destruction.

There is no doubt that he is amassing them to use against our friends, against our allies, and against us."

"We believe he has, in fact, reconstituted nuclear weapons."(3)

At the same time, despite overwhelming skepticism within the government of a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda--resulting in the conclusion of the 9/11 Commission that "no credible evidence" for such a link existed, and the CIA's determination that Hussein "did not have a relationship" with Al Qaeda--the vice president continued to insist that the relationship had been confirmed, including: (a) December 2, 2002: "His regime has had high-level contacts with Al Qaeda going back a decade and has provided training to Al Qaeda terrorists."

(b) January 30, 2003: "His regime aids and protects terrorists, including members of Al Qaeda.

He could decide secretly to provide weapons of mass destruction to terrorists for use against us."

"We know that he has a long-standing relationship with various terrorist groups, including the Al Qaeda organization."

"We learned more and more that there was a relationship between Iraq and Al Qaeda that stretched back through most of the decade of the '90s, that it involved training, for example, on biological weapons and chemical weapons."

(e) October 10, 2003: "He also had an established relationship with Al Qaeda--providing training to Al Qaeda members in areas of poisons, gases, and conventional bombs."

(f) January 9, 2004: "Al Qaeda and the Iraqi intelligence services...have worked together on a number of occasions."

(g) January 22, 2004: "There's overwhelming evidence that there was a connection between Al Qaeda and the Iraqi government"

The piece also charges that "as the war devolved into occupation, the vice president again sabotaged the democratic system, developing back channels into the Coalition Provisional Authority, a body not under his purview, to remove some of the most effective staff and replace them with his own loyal supplicants -- undercutting America's best effort at war in order to expand his own power."

In December 2008, Dick Cheney acknowledged what many had long suspected or known: that he was instrumental in initiating the Bush Administration interrogation tactic in which detainees were blindfolded, strapped to a board, and held down as water was pored into their cavities until their lungs began to fill up with it.

The intent was to trick the detainees into believing that they would drown.

Almost sounds like a mock execution, doesn't it?

Christopher Hitchens gamely subjected himself to the procedure, knowing he could stop it at any time.

His conclusion: "If waterboarding does not constitute torture, then there is no such thing as torture."

Barton Gellman, who wrote one of the definitive books on Cheney, gives the background in a Time magazine piece:

Cheney had devised, and Bush approved, an NSA operation to monitor the

phone calls and emails of U.S. citizens without a warrant, part of which

later became known as the Terrorist Surveillance Program.

Cheney admits he was behind the spying in his memoir.

But Gellman makes a compelling case that he lies about a confrontation with an ailing John Ashcroft to make himself look better.

In any case, it is beyond dispute that at Dick Cheney's urging, the federal government spied on millions of non-terrorist Americans without a warrant.

And that Cheney wanted the program to continue even after it was declared illegal.

After his initial stints in government under Republican Administrations, including time as George H.W. Bush's Secretary of Defense, Dick Cheney entered the private sector, where he used contacts he made during his time in government to enrich himself.

All told, he would earn more than $44 million from Halliburton.

Jane Mayer has an account of how the relationship began:

Cheney was hired by Halliburton in 1995, not long after he went on a

After Cheney enriched himself by exploiting contacts with various corrupt Arab autocrats that he made while drawing a public salary, he returned to public life as vice-president.

Halliburton donated to his campaign, and got numerous lucrative contracts during the Bush Administration's tenure, even as it was discovered to have overcharged the U.S. for prior services rendered.

Halliburton's presence in Iraq ended in February, 2000.

There is no better example of the problematic "revolving door" relationship between government and private enterprise than Dick Cheney and Halliburton.

Once again, Hylton makes the case against Cheney most succinctly:

INSTRUMENTAL IN DETAINING INNOCENTS FOR YEARS ON END

In "A Different Understanding with the President," Barton Gellman relates how early post-9/11 decisions about detainees were made:

Just past the Oval Office, in the private dining room overlooking the South Lawn, Vice President Cheney joined President Bush at a round parquet table they shared once a week.

Cheney brought a four-page text, written in strict secrecy by his lawyer.

He carried it back out with him after lunch.

In less than an hour, the document traversed a West Wing circuit that gave its words the power of command.

It changed hands four times, according to witnesses, with emphatic instructions to bypass staff review.

When it returned to the Oval Office, in a blue portfolio embossed with the presidential seal, Bush pulled a felt-tip pen from his pocket and signed without sitting down.

Cheney's proposal had become a military order from the commander in chief.

Foreign terrorism suspects held by the United States were stripped of access to any court -- civilian or military, domestic or foreign.

They could be confined indefinitely without charges and would be tried, if at all, in closed "military commissions."

"What the hell just happened?" Secretary of State Colin L. Powell demanded, a witness said, when CNN announced the order that evening, Nov. 13, 2001.

National security adviser Condoleezza Rice, incensed, sent an aide to find out.

Even witnesses to the Oval Office signing said they did not know the vice president had played any part.

We now know that the U.S. government held innocent people at Guantanamo Bay for years on end, either because no one bothered to confirm their innocence, or because even after confirming it the government was reluctant to release them.

Cheney, by insisting that the government had the power to hold any person for any period of time without any way for them to challenge their innocence, is directly culpable for these injustices.

Whole books have been written about Dick Cheney's decades long project to give to the presidency powers in excess of anything the founding generation intended.

Charlie Savage, who authored one of those books, summed up the history in this interview:

Dick Cheney has been the driving force behind the Bush

administration's systematic and highly successful project to expand

presidential power, a push that was articulated on their first day in

office, long before 9/11, and whose first battleground was the fight

over whether Cheney would have to comply with open-government laws that

mandated that he tell Congress and the public whom his energy task force

Cheney's files from his days as Gerald Ford's chief of staff in the

post-Watergate/Vietnam moment show the origins of this agenda.

investigations of intelligence abuses and a Congress that was determined

seemed outrageous from Cheney's vantage point and he spent the next

three decades trying, without much success at first, to roll back the

changes of the 1970s and to restore presidential power to the level it

had briefly, aberrationally, reached before Nixon fell.

decade in the House of Representatives, he continuously argued with his

colleagues that they ought to be giving the president more flexibility,

not less, especially in matters of national security and foreign affairs

- not just during Iran-Contra, but throughout that decade.

As Secretary of Defense to the first President Bush, he urged George

H.W. Bush to launch the Gulf War without going to Congress for

permission, like Truman had done, though his advice was rejected.

the second President Bush adopted Cheney's view that they ought to use

their time in office to strengthen presidential power as an end to

inherited it - and that is what they set out to do.

has been the most important bureaucratic force driving this policy.

I'll bet you didn't know Cheney urged that the first Gulf War be waged without Congressional permission.

UNPRINCIPLED EFFORTS TO MAXIMIZE PERSONAL POWER

To review one example among many (here's another), I give you over to Jack Balkin:

Vice President Dick Cheney and his consigliere David Addington have long been associated with the doctrine of the "Unitary Executive,"

the notion that all executive functions are vested in the President of

the United States of American and hence that the President has the right

to direct all executive officers, who, in turn are required to obey his

All except the Vice-President, apparently. The New York Times reports that Cheney now takes the position that he is not bound by an executive order

requiring all entities within the executive branch to report on how

they obtain and use classified information because he is not just

Yes, the vice-president claimed, opportunistically and absurdly, that he should be treated as part of the legislative branch... when it was convenient.

"It is by now obvious, if any further proof were necessary, that Cheney

and Addington have never been particularly interested in defending

constitutional principles," Balkin concluded.

"They do not seek to preserve executive power.

unitary executive as soon as it became inconvenient."

Dick Cheney was a self-aggrandizing criminal who used his knowledge as a Washington insider to subvert both informed public debate about matters of war and peace and to manipulate presidential decisionmaking, sometimes in ways that angered even George W. Bush.

After his early years of public service, he capitalized on connections he made while being paid by taxpayers to earn tens of millions of dollars presiding over Halliburton.

While there, he did business with corrupt Arab autocrats, including some in countries that were enemies of the United States.

Upon returning to government, he advanced a theory of the executive that is at odds with the intentions of the founders, successfully encouraged the federal government to illegally spy on innocent Americans, passed on to the public false information about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq, and became directly complicit in a regime of torture for which he should be in jail.

Thus his unpopularity circa 2008, when he left office.

# Nation's First Supermarket Attempts to Stay Competitive

THE sushi counter in my local King Kullen supermarket was doing a brisk business over Labor Day weekend.

As a couple of Japanese chefs fashioned spicy inside-out tuna rolls for one customer, Bill Strain, who lives in Vancouver, Canada, and was visiting friends, was waiting his turn to buy several California rolls.

''It's convenient and it's fresh,'' he said, ''so why not buy sushi in a supermarket?''

Finding sushi in a supermarket came as no surprise to Mr. Strain.

Though supermarkets with sushi are the exception, not the rule, on the Island, Mr. Strain said that where he came from, supermarkets often had sushi counters.

King Kullen, which is acknowledged by the Smithsonian Institution in Washington to have been the country's first supermarket, may no longer be ahead of the pack when it comes to services like sushi.

But by constantly responding to consumer demands, the chain, based in Westbury, has no trouble maintaining its reputation where it counts, on the Island.

Supermarkets have evolved in the 67 years since Michael Cullen opened the first King Kullen Grocery Company store in Jamaica, Queens.

To have several food departments under one roof and self-service shopping were innovations in the era of mom-and-pop grocery stores, butcher shops, greengrocers and fish markets.

Mr. Cullen had tried to convince Kroger, his employer at the time, to open such a store.

He envisioned markets on the fringes of a town's central business district so there would be parking for the rapidly growing numbers of cars on the road.

It would also benefit customers, he reasoned, because the volume buying dictated by the size of the stores would allow for lower prices.

Kroger was not interested so Mr. Cullen left the Midwest, returned to the Island and became a pioneer.

Today his concept has evolved to offer a wider range of food products than he might ever have imagined, including live lobsters in tanks, condiments from around the world and exotic fresh mushrooms, but supermarkets also provide film processing and sell housewares, books, T-shirts and toys, among the goods and services that are now taken for granted in what once were just food markets.

''In the 1970's and '80's,'' said Thomas K. Cullen, the chain's vice president for government and industry relations, ''we started adding bakeries, fresh fish, barbecued chickens and began to expand the deli counters.

Now, because of new competitors like Wal-Mart stores and even drugstore chains like Genovese and CVS that have started selling food, we are expanding our lines of merchandise and the services we can offer.''

Mr. Cullen said that he would have been surprised if the original store stocked 1,000 different products.

''Now we easily carry 38,000 products and the number keeps growing,'' he said.

What has not changed since 1930, however, is the technique of buying goods in volume and, using that leverage to get a good price, selling them at a discount.

From the beginning supermarkets operated on razor-thin profit margins.

It is a business in which making more than 1.5 percent of gross sales is considered a windfall.

But the new non-food items can be sold at a higher markup than food, so the more of them that are in the mix of products, the healthier the bottom line.

Mr. Cullen said that in a week or so, when the chain's largest store opened in Commack, its 60,000 square feet of space will house a bank and a dry cleaner.

Another store, a more typical 43,000 square feet with about 20 shopping aisles and 15 checkout counters, is also opening on Jericho Turnpike, in Syosset.

King Kullen's 45 stores on the Island and one on Staten Island grossed more than $720 million last year.

Because the company is still family-owned and operated, and has not diversified beyond the core business, it is not burdened with excessive debt from financing mergers and acquisitions.

The profits are used to upgrade existing stores and build new ones.

John B. Cullen, a son of Michael Cullen, is chairman of King Kullen and Bernard D. Kennedy, a cousin, is president.

Third generation Cullens and Kennedys hold other administrative positions and the fourth generation has started working for the company.

Many of the chain's competitors, like A & P, which also owns Waldbaums and Food Emporium, and Food Town, are owned by giant conglomerates based in Europe, and can rely on international marketing and merchandising techniques.

Mr. Cullen said his company takes its responsibililty to the community very seriously.

''We have a customer relations manager and a toll-free number,'' he said.

''We have hired a nutritionist and publish a newsletter with recipes and nutritional advice.''

King Kullen conducts annual telephone surveys to determine what its customers want.

As a result, it recently began alphabetizing the items in its circulars and added full-service pharmacies to some of the stores.

Though the company was reluctant to begin accepting credit cards because the percentages the banks took cut the profit-margins even closer to the bone, it recognized the consumer demand and now takes plastic.

''Our chain grew as the suburbs in Nassau and Suffolk grew,'' said Thomas K. Cullen.

''Space is now at a premium in Nassau but there is room for expansion in Suffolk.

We are now making an effort to customize the merchandise in each store to reflect the needs of the people who shop regularly.''

A regular shopper lives within a three-mile radius of the store.

The King Kullen in Bridgehampton sells beach chairs and tennis balls.

Stores in Bay Shore, Blue Point, Bohemia and Patchogue deliver grocery orders to the Fire Island ferries.

In towns like Hewlett and Rockville Centre, where there are Jewish neighborhoods, the stores have larger kosher food departments.

Plans are under way to add kosher bakeries.

Bunches of cut flowers sell extremely well, so the stores also sell simple glass vases to hold them.

Though non-food items and services are the talk of the industry -- some supermarkets across the country have nurseries and children's play areas, health and fitness clubs and beauty salons -- public tastes have driven supermarkets to expand some of the food departments.

King Kullen is stocking an increased assortment of imported and domestic cheeses.

The deli department sells fresh mozzarella along with crab cakes and poached salmon.

Like every supermarket, there is a choice of frozen pizzas but King Kullen also has fresh refrigerated pizzas, focaccias and quiches in an array of flavors, including spinach, sun-dried tomatoes and roasted garlic.

Items like fresh cilantro, golden zucchini and oddly mottled dinosaur plums are just a few of the newly popular vegetables and fruits in the produce bins.

A wall of imported and microbrewed beers and soft drinks competes with Budweiser and Coca-Cola by the case.

Health foods have been given expanded shelf space.

And increasingly, the meat cases have marinated kebabs ready to go onto the grill.

With sales of organic foods having increased by 25 percent nationwide in the last three years, King Kullen has added showcases for organic dairy products, organic frozen foods and organic groceries.

Its aisles of organic produce are four times as long as they were a year ago.

''Our Bridgehampton store has one of the largest organic produce departments of any major supermarket chain,'' Mr. Cullen said.

He also said that the chain tried to buy from local producers as much as possible, admitting that is is difficult to do.

'''Sometimes the local farms don't have enough volume for us or can't keep the produce cool enough until it's ready to be shipped and it may not come to us in the best condition,'' he said.

Individual store managers cannot purchase goods from local suppliers; everything comes from the company's central warehouse in Westbury.

But starting Tuesday the central warehouse will no longer handle groceries.

Bozzuto's, a wholesaler in Cheshire, Conn., now has a contract to order the groceries for King Kullen and deliver them directly to the stores.

Though fresh produce, meats and fish will continue to be distributed from the Westbury warehouse, as a money-saving move the company will no longer purchase its own groceries directly.

''Bozzuto's can buy in greater volume than we can,'' Mr. Cullen said.

They buy for a number of chains, for more than 250 stores, not 46, and can offer more variety and a better price than we can on our own.

We had to do it to remain competitive.''

Closing down the grocery warehouse will also cost the jobs of 115 of the company's 4,400 employees.

The employees who are laid off are being offered work with the wholesaler and in the new stores.

Mr. Cullen said they hoped the net result would eventually be more jobs, not fewer of them, if the company becomes more profitable.

The lower prices that the outsourcing of groceries is expected to bring may also attract more customers.

More services are likely to do the same.

Eventually, customers may be able to click on to the company's Website and place their orders on the Internet.

Despite the proliferation of non-food items, services and departments, one of the newest opportunities for growth is in prepared foods.

It is no longer just a matter of picking up a barbecued chicken, some cooked shrimp or even a plastic container filled with tuna sushi.

Entire freshly made meals for one, two or more are becoming available in some of the supermarkets.

The bakery will even bake and decorate a multitiered wedding cake.

And then, in the same King Kullen market that prepared the canapes, roasted the whole filet of beef, made the potatoes, tossed the salad and supplied the floral centerpieces for the event, you can also buy the little bride and groom figurines to go on top of the cake.

Date recently composed music for the film Among the Believers directed by Emmy Award winner Hemal Trivedi.

(meta data) TITLE: Crew — Among The Believers

Hemal is a Mumbai and New York City based documentary films' editor / director for over a decade.

Her credits include: Outlawed in Pakistan (Editor, Emmy-2014, PBS-Frontline, Sundance); Saving Face (Editor, Oscar-2012, Two Emmys-2013, HBO/Channel 4); Shabeena's Quest (Director/Editor, Witness, Al Jazeera); Flying on One Engine (Editor, SXSW, IDFA); Laughter (Editor, BBC); When the Drum is Beating (Editor, ITVS, Tribeca 2011); and Beyond Mumbai (Director, Camera & Editor, OWN, 2011 Webby nomination).

She has produced and edited over 50 award-winning shorts for Odyssey Networks.

Upon losing a friend in the Mumbai terrorist attacks of 2008, I sought to understand the root cause of these attacks that were carried out from Pakistan.

After careful study, I realized that ordinary Pakistanis are themselves victims rather than perpetrators.

The same extremist elements who carried out the attacks in Mumbai are actually terrorizing their own people on a daily basis, and the country's very survival is at stake.

In 2010 I collaborated with producer Jonathan Goodman Levitt and Pakistani filmmaker Mohammed Ali Naqvi, and together we have been filming this ideological conflict that is ripping the country apart and causing it to implode.

Emmy-winning filmmaker Mohammed is also a fellow of the National Endowment of the Arts and American Film Institute's Project 20:20 program.

In addition, his work has received numerous awards including the Amnesty Human Rights Award, the United Nations Association Festival Grand Jury Award, and has been showcased at the Museum of Modern Art.

Documentary credits include: Shame (Showtime), Pakistan's Hidden Shame (Channel 4), Shabeena's Quest (Al-Jazeera), and Terror's Children (Discovery)

Mohammed has produced two narrative feature films, Big River and I Will Avenge You Iago; starring Giancarlo Esposito and Larry Pine, recently directing narrative short Happy Things in Sorrow Times.

Growing up in Pakistan, I witnessed the burgeoning influence of militant Islam, one which violently silenced dissenting opinion from progressive Muslims.

When I got the opportunity to work on Among The Believers, it was a chance to not only expose the rhetoric of militant Islam, but also highlight the progressive Muslim forces trying desperately to fight militancy.

During the course of filming, we gained unprecedented access to Abdul Aziz, the Taliban's main spokesperson, and documented his growing influence over four years.

Producer/Writer Jonathan Goodman Levitt:

Jonathan's work as director and/or producer has been supported by broadcasters including BBC, PBS, NHK-Japan and over a dozen other broadcasters.

His latest directing project FOLLOW THE LEADER was featured on C-Span, CNN & Fox; released by Angelika Film Center, PBS stations & Cinedigm; and was the only documentary to premiere during both the 2012 Republican and Democratic national conventions.

His first feature SUNNY INTERVALS AND SHOWERS (Director, Producer, Editor, Camera, 2003) screened at Festivals including Sheffield, Chicago and One World; aired as part of the BBC Storyville documentary strand; and was nominated for Grierson (British Documentary) and Mental Health Media Awards.

An equal Producer of AMONG THE BELIEVERS, Jonathan's company Changeworx's productions are currently being supported by funders including Ford Foundation, Sundance Documentary Fund, TriBeCa Film Institute, and Center for Asian American Media.

Jonathan's other personal credits include roles on a film about North Face founder Doug Tompkin's Chilean conservation work; BEING BEBE, a decade-long project about performance in every day life featuring Cameroonian drag queen Bebe Zahara Benet; and a Best Documentary Emmy-winner with Stephen Fry.

After studying social psychology, political philosophy, and painting at Stanford, Jonathan was a Fulbright Scholar studying at the UK's National Film School (NFTS) in 1999.
