WASHINGTON — American officials who have assessed the likely Iranian
responses to any attack by Israel on its nuclear program believe that
Iran would retaliate by launching missiles on Israel and
terrorist-style attacks on United States civilian and military
personnel overseas.

Iranian cadets at graduation. American and Israeli officials believe
that the last thing Iran would want is a war on its territory.
While a missile retaliation against Israel would be virtually certain,
according to these assessments, Iran would also be likely to try to
calibrate its response against American targets so as not to give the
United States a rationale for taking military action that could
permanently cripple Tehran’s nuclear program. “The Iranians have been
pretty good masters of escalation control,” said Gen. James E.
Cartwright, now retired, who as the top officer at Strategic Command
and as vice chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff participated in war
games involving both deterrence and retaliation on potential
adversaries like Iran.
The Iranian targets, General Cartwright and other American analysts
believe, would include petroleum infrastructure in the Persian Gulf,
and American troops in Afghanistan, where Iran has been accused of
shipping explosives to local insurgent forces.
Both American and Israeli officials who discussed current thinking on
the potential ramifications of an Israeli attack believe that the last
thing Iran would want is a full-scale war on its territory. Their
analysis, however, also includes the broad caveat that it is impossible
to know the internal thinking of the senior leadership in Tehran, and
is informed by the awareness that even the most detailed war games
cannot predict how nations and their leaders will react in the heat of
conflict. Yet such assessments are not just intellectual exercises. Any
conclusions on how the Iranians will react to an attack will help
determine whether the Israelis launch a strike — and what the American
position will be if they do.
While evidence suggests that Iran continues to make progress toward a
nuclear weapons program, American intelligence officials believe that
there is no hard evidence that Iran has decided to build a nuclear
bomb. But the possibility that Israel will launch a pre-emptive strike
has become a focus of American policy makers and is expected to be a
primary topic when Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel meets
with President Obama at the White House on Monday.
In November, Israel’s defense minister, Ehud Barak, said any Iranian
retaliation for an Israeli attack would be “bearable,” and his
government’s estimate that Iran is engaging in a bluff has been a key
element in the heightened expectations that Israel is considering a
strike. But Iran’s highly compartmentalized security services, analysts
caution, may operate in semi-rogue fashion, following goals that seem
irrational to planners in Washington. American experts, for example,
are still puzzled by a suspected Iranian plot last year to assassinate
the Saudi ambassador in Washington.
“Once military strikes and counterstrikes begin, you are on the
tiger’s back,” said Ray Takeyh, a former Obama administration national
security official who is now at the Council on Foreign Relations. “And
when on the tiger’s back, you cannot always pick the place to
dismount.”
If Israel did attack, officials said, Iran would be foolhardy, even
suicidal, to invite an overpowering retaliation by directly attacking
United States military targets — by, for example, unleashing its
missiles at American bases on the territory of Persian Gulf allies.
“The balance the Iranians will try to strike is doing damage that is
sufficiently significant, but just short of what it would take for
America to invade,” said General Cartwright, now at the Center for
Strategic and International Studies.
A former Israeli official said the best way to think about retaliation
against Israel was through a formula he called “1991 plus 2006 plus
Buenos Aires times 3 or 5.” The reference was to three instances in the
last two decades when Israel came under attack: the Scud missiles sent
by Saddam Hussein into Israel in 1991 during the first gulf war; the
3,000 rockets fired at Israel by Hezbollah during their 2006 war; and
the attacks on the Israeli Embassy and a Jewish center in Argentina in
the early 1990s. Those attacks each killed 100 to 200 people, wounded
scores more and caused several billion dollars of property damage.
Hundreds of thousands of Israelis in the north had to be evacuated from
their homes to bomb shelters or further south during the 2006 war.
But there is a broad Israeli assessment that Iran’s response to an
attack would be limited.

By contrast, administration, military and intelligence officials say
Iran would most likely choose anonymous, indirect attacks against
nations it views as supporting Israeli policy, in the hope of offering
Tehran at least public deniability. Iran also might try to block, even
temporarily, the Strait of Hormuz to further unsettle oil markets.
An increase in car bombs set off against civilian targets in world
capitals would also be possible. And Iran would almost certainly
smuggle high-powered explosives across its border into Afghanistan,
where they could be planted along roadways and set off by surrogate
forces to kill and maim American and NATO troops — much as it did in
Iraq during the peak of violence there. But Iran’s primary goal would
be quickly rebuilding — and probably accelerating — its nuclear
program, and thus, according to these assessments, it would be likely
to try to avoid inviting a punishing second wave of attacks by the
United States.

United States.
Vali Nasr, a professor of international politics at the Fletcher
School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts University, said Iran would “have
to retaliate visibly against Israel to protect its image at home and in
the region.” Along a second line of reprisals, Iran also “would try
and keep the United States busy by escalating tensions in Lebanon,
Syria, Egypt, Iraq and Afghanistan,” he said.
In 2009, the Brookings Institution held a simulation to assess Day 2
of an Israeli attack on Iran, casting former government officials,
diplomats and regional experts in the roles of American, Israeli and
Iranian officials. Karim Sadjadpour, of the Carnegie Endowment for
International Peace, played Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali
Khamenei. The faux Iranian leadership had to “calibrate their response
with great precision,” he said. “If they respond too little, they could
lose face, and if they respond too much, they could lose their heads.”
During the simulation, Iran also fired missiles at Israeli military
and nuclear targets, and unleashed Hezbollah, Hamas and Islamic Jihad
militants to fire rockets at population centers in Israel, with a goal
to create an atmosphere of terror among Israelis. In the simulation,
Iran also activated terrorist cells in Europe, which bombed public
transportation and killed civilians.
Mr. Sadjadpour said that one thing the exercise demonstrated was how
quickly things would deteriorate, adding that “as for long-term
consequences, it’s way too murky to say anything but this: It will be
ugly.”

Inhabitancy: Although England repealed Parliament’s residency law in 1774, no delegates spoke against a residency requirement for members of Congress. The qualification first came under consideration on August 6 when the Committee of Detail reported its draft of the Constitution. Article 5, section 3 stated, “Every member of the Senate shall be . . . at the time of his election, a resident of the state from which he shall be chosen.”
On August 8, Roger Sherman moved to strike the word “resident” from the House version of the clause, and insert in its place “inhabitant,” a term he considered to be “less liable to misconstruction.” Madison seconded the motion, noting that “resident” might exclude people occasionally absent on public or private business. Delegates agreed to the term, “inhabitant,” and voted against adding a time period to the requirement. The following day, they amended the Senate qualification to include the word, “inhabitant,” prior to passing the clause by unanimous consent.
Meanwhile, thanks for being the righteous person you are. If I can be of any assistance, please let me know.
May your “Dirigo” continue to be a polar star for a well defended, but not aggressive, United States of America, and a prosperous, but renewable Great North Woods.

France Says Google Privacy Plan Likely Violates European Law

PARIS — The French data protection authority said on Tuesday that
Google’s new privacy policy appeared to violate European Union law.
Related
Times Topic: Google Inc.
Google announced the new policy last month, billing it as a way to
streamline and simplify the privacy practices it employed worldwide
across about 60 different online services, and to introduce greater
clarity for users.
But the French privacy agency, the National Commission for Computing
and Civil Liberties, said in a letter to Larry Page, Google’s
co-founder and chief executive, that the proposed policy was murky in
the details of how the company would use private data. Google and other
Internet companies gather personal information in an effort to build
anonymous profiles of users, helping them to sell advertising.
“Rather than promoting transparency, the terms of the new policy and
the fact that Google claims publicly that it will combine data across
services raises fears about Google’s actual practices,” the letter from
the French privacy agency, known as CNIL, said. “Our preliminary
investigation shows that it is extremely difficult to know exactly
which data is combined between which services for which purposes, even
for trained privacy professionals.”
The warning to Google carries potential implications for other
European Union countries, because in this case the French regulator was
acting at the request of an advisory panel to the European Commission

Dear Larry and Sergey: [Achoo! ]’. ‘/.]
Whatever the system in place now is, it put a jockey under ware ad up
on my browser for weeks and weeks after I placed an order or two –
thereby making me reject and develop a dislike for the brand being
forced upon me so much.
You’ve got to get real and incorporate choices into the ads so you can
reinforce the ad to go deeper, or ask it to go wider, or ask it to go
random – because different people have different tastes about patterns
they like to see.
Being the righteous people you are is the biggest help to me. Stop the
information apartheid. Give we the users more control. Let us get to
any percentage of our search results by entering the percentage instead
of having to scroll in ten page lumps.
What else? Put me on the board of directors, or hire me as a
consultant. I could use the money. I need to travel more, and it would
certainly help me hire an assistant or two to get publishing regularly
instead of dusting away on the key board.
Right?
Who was kind enough to come buy and ask me to use Google way back in
the early days. You and Serge were kind enough to walk by. Why do you,
and so many others, continue to feed off of me, without overtly
rewarding me?
Sure, I’ve assigned myself the toughest job description I could, but
that’s no reason to not do some charity in my direction.

acting at the request of an advisory panel to the European Commission,
which asked the French agency to conduct an initial assessment of the
Google privacy changes. The new rules were set to come into effect on
Thursday.
Meanwhile, the commission is in the process of overhauling its privacy
rules to bring them in line with the era of the Internet and cloud
computing. The commissioner in charge of privacy, Viviane Reding, has
called for streamlined privacy rules, which currently vary widely
across the European Union, with separate enforcement bodies like the
French privacy agency overseeing national guidelines.
Google is also facing an antitrust investigation in Brussels, where
the European Commission is scrutinizing its dominant position in
Internet search. The privacy policies of individual Google services,
especially its StreetView mapping feature, have also been investigated
in a number of European Union countries.
Ms. Reding had already asked Google to delay adoption of the new
privacy policy while regulators assessed its compatibility with
European Union law. But the company reiterated on Tuesday that it had
no intention of doing so.
“We are confident that our new simple, clear and transparent privacy
policy respects all European data protection laws and principles,”
Peter Fleischer, Google’s chief privacy counsel, wrote in a letter to
the French privacy agency. He said the company had tried unsuccessfully
to meet with the agency to discuss the changes.
“Like all companies, we have struggled with the conundrum of how to
pursue both of the CNIL’s recommendations: How to ‘streamline and
simplify’ our privacy policies, while at the same time providing
‘comprehensive information’ to our users,” Mr. Fleischer’s letter
states.
The French privacy agency said in its letter that it would send Google
a “full questionnaire” about its privacy policies by mid-March.
In addition to issuing warnings, the French privacy agency has the
power to fine companies up to 300,000 euros ($400,000) for privacy
breaches in France. It can also seek court orders to try to stop
companies from engaging in practices that are deemed to violate data
protection laws. Enforcement in other European countries would be up to
individual data protection authorities.
Google’s new privacy policy applies to services like the YouTube
online video platform, the Android mobile phone software and the Google
search engine. Users were notified of the changes via e-mail and
postings on the relevant sites, among other methods.
The proposed changes have also attracted scrutiny in the United
States, where privacy advocates have urged Congress to look into the
new policy.
Big Brother Watch, a British privacy advocate, published a study on
Tuesday that said only 12 percent of Google users had read the new
policy. Forty-seven percent were unaware of the changes, the study
showed.
“Google is putting advertisers’ interests before user privacy and
should not be rushing ahead before the public understand what the
changes will mean,” the group said in a statement posted on its Web
site.
