  Ignorance of the Law: Reviews
Butler’s stated aim in taking up Antigone is to revive radical politics that are not assimilable to, and that do not seek the legitimation of, existing formations of state power.
For Butler, Antigone prefigures a politics that would “confront and defy the state” (1), while at the same time acknowledging the impossibility of claiming a voice “that might in any way be unimplicated in the very power that it opposes” (2).
Butler argues that Antigone, in her stubborn disregard of Creon’s orders, is not situated outside the polis, beyond the symbolic embodiment of the law.

 Butler Review - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Butler Review followed procedures similar to the Franks Committee inquiry into the Falklands War.
Although Tony Blair had always insisted it was not necessary to set up an inquiry, he was forced to do so because of pressure from comments made by former leader of the Iraq Survey Group David Kay, as well as the political fall-out of the Hutton inquiry which was regarded as a whitewash by many.
Conservative leader Michael Howard said that this was because Lord Butler of Brockwell's interpretation of the terms of reference were "unacceptably restrictive".

 www.theory.org.uk Resources: Judith Butler
Butler notes that feminists rejected the idea that biology is destiny, but then developed an account of patriarchal culture which assumed that masculine and feminine genders would inevitably be built, by culture, upon 'male' and 'female' bodies, making the same destiny just as inescapable.
Butler's approach -- inspired in part by Foucault -- is basically to smash the supposed links between these, so that gender and desire are flexible, free-floating and not 'caused' by other stable factors.
Butler argues that we all put on a gender performance, whether traditional or not, anyway, and so it is not a question of whether to do a gender performance, but what form that performance will take.

 Arms Control Association: Arms Control Today: Review: Richard Butler’s
Although Butler describes these three countries as being the “embodiment of the worst nightmare” because of their covert and proscribed efforts to acquire nuclear weapons, he more frequently and fervently faults the disarmament failures of the nuclear-weapon states for the proliferation problem.
Butler acknowledges that other factors may compel countries to seek nuclear weapons, but he also believes the world would support more forceful action to enforce the nonproliferation norm if the five recognized nuclear-weapon states took real, and not just rhetorical, steps toward eliminating their own arsenals.
Butler rejects the United States’ assertions that it has to build missile defenses because arms control has failed and that nuclear proliferation is too far advanced to reverse.

The sale to satisfy Butler's creditors will conclude a bankruptcy filed by him in October, about two months after a North Idaho woman and her son were awarded a $6.3 million judgment.
Butler said the bankruptcy trustee, attorney Ford Elsaesser of Sandpoint, should have attempted to determine what property in the bankruptcy was owned by the church.
Butler said some of the property that will be sold belongs to the Aryan Nations church, not to him personally, even though he listed it among his assets in the bankruptcy filing.

 The historical truth of Iraq will be kept alive by Butler’s review - [Sunday Herald]
Butler found the evidence to be unsound, and by implication that the dossier was lacking legal credibility.
For Butler this was a recipe for disaster because it “lessened the support of the machinery of government for the collective responsibility of the Cabinet in the vital matter of war and peace”.
Butler’s strictures extended to John Scarlett (who will take over as head of SIS later this year when Sir Richard Dearlove steps down), who chaired the JIC (the first hands-on spy to have done so) while the government was struggling to find evidence for going to war.

 Guardian Unlimited | The Guardian | Leader: The Butler review
Within his self-imposed remit that restricted his review to mechanics rather than men, Butler has written a meaty analysis of the background and development of the intelligence-based case for war.
Although the resulting dossier, Butler found, lay just within the bounds of acceptability, and he clears the government of acting in bad faith, he cautions that it was possible to read the warning about the constraints of security as strengthening rather than weakening the material.
So does Butler's description of cabinet government where formal briefing papers for the wider cabinet are scarce, and the opportunity for informed collective debate is constrained by the habit of ministers being given information only in oral presentations that preclude detailed and thoughtful consideration.

 Lynne Jones MP
I supported those calling for a wider remit with as many hearings as possible in public (given the openness of the process of the Hutton inquiry, the model being used for the Butler Review of the Franks inquiry into the Falklands War, set up by Thatcher, is unacceptable).
I also support the view that the review committee should include a government member who was sceptical about the claim that the Saddam Hussein regime's "WMD" represented a "clear and present" threat.
It was half an answer'; and believes that this attitude shown by Lord Butler towards the importance of the provision of proper accurate information to Parliament undermines his credibility as a fair and impartial chairman for the Weapons of Mass Destruction Intelligence Inquiry.

The Butler report says: "We wrote to some 60 Editors of national and regional print and broadcast media to ask them if they had been briefed by representatives of the Government about the dossier immediately prior to its publication or whether, post-publication, they were guided to report particular aspects, such as the '45 minute' story.
Once again, Lord Butler appears to be up to his disinformation by omission tricks.
Yet, the ever-obliging Lord Butler has watered it down to the anodyne statement that there was 'some evidence' that 'some journalists had had their attention drawn' to the 45 minutes claim.

Most Americans are uncomfortable contemplating that war is, and always has been, a system by which a few are able to direct the coercive machinery of the state to serve their economic interests, always at the expense of the many.

The inquiry also dealt with the wider issue of WMD programmes in "countries of concern" and the global trade in WMD, and made recommendations to the prime minister to better evaluate and assess intelligence information in the future.
Conservative leader Michael Howard said that this was because Lord Butler's interpretation of the terms of reference were "unacceptably restrictive".
However, Tenet believed so, not due to any compelling evidence to the contrary, but rather because the CIA (criticized concerning this matter by the Senate Report of Pre-war Intelligence on Iraq www.washingtonpost.com) had failed to investigate the claim thoroughly; however, the Butler Review states (6.4 para.

 2 Walls Webzine - music review - Henry Butler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
From the first song, with Butler's booming backup vocals and strong piano - the tone is set for down home blues courtesy of two guys: one on piano (Butler) the other on guitar (Harris).
Butler shines solo on the piano with 'There's No Substitute for Love." You can dance for days listening to songs like 'Sugar Daddy,' 'Down Home Livin,'' and 'Shake What Your Mama Gave You' which all sound like New Orleans and force you to toe tap and practice your air piano.
So, for those who are not fortunate enough to have a significant other to warm the sheets with and are forced to rely on the company of Jack Daniel's, Henry Butler's Blues After Sunset is the perfect companion for those long winter nights.
