Charles Freeman’s Victory Forced to withdraw, he took the Israel lobby down with him by Justin Raimondo The nixing of Charles “Chas” Freeman from a post as head of the National Intelligence Council is not, as is commonly averred, a victory for the Israel lobby. It is, instead, a Pyrrhic victory that is, a victory so costly that it really amounts to a defeat for them. Sure, they managed to keep out a trenchant critic of their Israel-centric and grossly distorted view of a proper American foreign policy, and, yes, they managed to smear him and put others on notice that someone with his views is radioactive, as far as a high-level job in the foreign policy establishment is concerned. And yet and yet . They the Lobby have now been forced out in the open. “A lobby,” says Steve Rosen, the ringleader of the “get Freeman” lynch mob, “is like a night flower: it thrives in the dark and dies in the sun.” If so, then the Israel lobby is slated for oblivion, because as frenetically and pathetically as they tried to mask the centrality of their involvement, and as much as they tried to make this about other issues (his alleged ties to Saudi Arabia, his supposed views on China), everybody knows it was really all about Israel and Freeman’s contemptuous view of the “special relationship” which requires us giving Tel Aviv a blank check, moral as well as monetary.

We put the NAVIGON Mobile Navigator to the test and here’s what we found. This review follows our first-look at the app a couple weeks ago. Mobile Navigator is a competent turn-by-turn GPS solution that does some things very well, others not so well. Note that this review is of version 1.0, and late last night NAVIGON released version 1.1. I haven’t evaluated this update yet, but from the description it doesn’t seem to affect this review. Specifically version 1.1 does not add text to speech. I’ll do a follow-up, when that feature is added.

I’ve been getting a lot of questions on our GPS app reviews. Which is the best, which I like, which you should buy. Here is an overview of the four apps that IGM has reviewed. Apps included are TomTom, Navigon, G-Map, and AT&T. Things are broken down into categories and I pick which I like for each category, then followed by a brief overview. Hopefully this helps people in their decision making. Note that there are a number of updates pending on these apps, so keep an eye out for further videos detailing major upgrades. Each update will likely change the equation for what works best for them.
