Republicans are using the Justice Department to destroy justice and end democracy
U.S. attorney targeted for firing after standing up for minority voting rights| |
Excerpt: By the time Heffelfinger resigned last year, his office had collected a string of awards and commendations from the Justice Department. So it came as a surprise -- and something of a mystery -- when he turned up on a list of U.S. attorneys who had been targeted for firing. Part of the reason, government documents and other evidence suggest, is that he tried to protect voting rights for Native Americans.
Citing requirements in a new state election law, Republican Secretary of State Mary Kiffmeyer directed that tribal ID cards could not be used for voter identification by Native Americans living off reservations. Heffelfinger and his staff feared that the ruling could result in discrimination against Indian voters. Many do not have driver's licenses or forms of identification other than the tribes' photo IDs.
Comment: Beyond being a scandal about replacing decent attorneys with ultra-partisan hacks, it seems more and more that the underlying plan in replacing specific U.S. attorneys was largely geared towards enabling pro-Republican election fraud.
David Iglesias in New Mexico, Todd Graves in Missouri, and now Tom Heffelfinger in Minnesota were all pushed out for refusing to go along with Republican attempts to disenfranchise Democratic voters. And the replacement U.S. Attorneys in both Missouri (Bradley Schlozman) and Arkansas (Tim Griffin) are now accused of participating in efforts to suppress likely-Democratic votes.

Republican's affidavit links prosecution of Democrat Don Siegelman to Karl Rove| |
[Alabama's] former Democratic governor, Don Siegelman, stands convicted of bribery and conspiracy charges and faces a sentence of up to 30 years in prison. Siegelman has long claimed that his prosecution was driven by politically motivated, Republican-appointed U.S. attorneys.
Now Karl Rove, the President's top political strategist, has been implicated in the controversy. A longtime Republican lawyer in Alabama swears she heard a top G.O.P. operative in the state say that Rove "had spoken with the Department of Justice" about "pursuing" Siegelman, with help from two of Alabama's U.S. attorneys. |
Nearly 30 DoJ officials threatened to quit after Ashcroft hospital visit| |
Excerpt: So consider these scenes from March 2004, described by two former top Justice officials who, like other ex-officials interviewed by Newsweek, did not wish to be identified discussing sensitive internal matters. Attorney General John Ashcroft is really sick. About to give a press conference in Virginia, he is stricken with pain so severe he has to lie down on the floor. Taken to the hospital for an emergency gallbladder operation, he hallucinates under medication as he lies, near death, in intensive care. On the night after his operation, he has two visitors: White House chief of staff Andrew Card and presidential counsel Alberto Gonzales. As described in public testimony, they want Ashcroft to sign a document authorizing the government's top-secret eavesdropping program to go on. The attorney general, who thinks the program is illegal, refuses.
Back at the Justice Department, there is an equally extraordinary scene. Appalled by the White House's heavy-handed attempt to coerce the gravely ill attorney general, virtually the entire top leadership of the Justice Department is threatening to resign.
Comment: But none actually resigned, because when push came to show, for each of them, loyalty to party trumped any loyalty to country, to principle, or to justice. Helen & Harry PERMANENT LINK |
Senate asks Ashcroft to testify about hospital visit| |
Excerpt: The Senate and House Intelligence Committees are asking former attorney general John Ashcroft to testify about a March 2004 hospital-room confrontation during which he refused to sign off on a continuation of President Bush's warrantless eavesdropping program, according to congressional and administration sources.
Comment: Note that they "ask", instead of subpoena. Helen & Harry PERMANENT LINK |
Illegal, yes--but not newsworthy:
Wiretapping testimony hardly covered in media| |
Excerpt: On May 15, former Deputy Attorney General James Comey testified about the Bush administration's extraordinary efforts in March 2004 to gain legal approval for the National Security Agency's domestic surveillance program by visiting Attorney General John Ashcroft's hospital room as he recovered from gall bladder surgery. The story is surprising, at the very least -- but has so far attracted little media curiosity. |
What the heck is vote caging, and why should we care?| |
Excerpt: Vote caging is an illegal trick to suppress minority voters (who tend to vote Democrat) by getting them knocked off the voter rolls if they fail to answer registered mail sent to homes they aren't living at (because they are, say, at college or at war). The Republican National Committee reportedly stopped the practice following a consent decree in a 1986 case. Google the term and you'll quickly arrive at the Wizard of Oz of caging, Greg Palast, investigative reporter and author of the wickedly funny Armed Madhouse: From Baghdad to New Orleans -- Sordid Secrets and Strange Tales of a White House Gone Wild. Palast started reporting allegations of Republican vote caging for the BBC's Newsnight in 2004. He's been almost alone on the story since then.
Rove's ex-assistant resigns after Conyers asks for 'caging' evidence
Excerpt: Tim Griffin, formerly right hand man to Karl Rove, resigned Thursday as US Attorney for Arkansas hours after BBC Television Newsnight reported that Congressman John Conyers requested the network's evidence on Griffin's involvement in 'caging voters.' Greg Palast, reporting for BBC Newsnight, obtained a series of confidential emails from the 2004 Bush-Cheney campaign. In these emails, Griffin, then the GOP Deputy Communications Director, transmitted so-called 'caging lists' of voters to state party leaders.
Experts have concluded the caging lists were designed for a mass challenge of voters' right to cast ballots. The caging lists were heavily weighted with minority voters including homeless individuals, students and soldiers sent overseas. |
Justice Dept. deems Sen. Stevens too corrupt to participate in U.S. Attorney scandal| |
Excerpt: The remodeling [of Senator Ted Stevens' home] is suspicious because two former Veco Corp. executives recently pleaded guilty to federal bribery and conspiracy charges, which includes paying $242,000 in illegitimate consulting fees to Stevens's son, Ben, formerly president of Alaska's state senate. Additionally, the Veco executives' guilty pleas noted that "Veco was not in the business of residential construction or remodeling."
Neither [Stevens's son] Ben nor Sen. Stevens have been charged. But actions by the federal government to keep the senator away from the investigation indicate that he may be involved. In Aug. 2006, the Bush administration took the unusual step of blocking the Sen. Stevens from having any say in choosing the new U.S. attorney for the state |

Bush envisions U.S. in Iraq for decades| |
Excerpt: President George W. Bush would like to see a lengthy U.S. troop presence in Iraq like the one in South Korea to provide stability but not in a frontline combat role, the White House said on Wednesday.
The United States has had thousands of U.S. troops in South Korea to guard against a North Korean invasion for 50 years.
Gates wants to assure allies, U.S. will not withdraw from Iraq
Excerpt: Gates told reporters in Hawaii that he is thinking of "a mutual agreement" with Iraq in which "some force of Americans . . . is present for a protracted period of time, but in ways that are protective of the sovereignty of the host government." Gates said such a long-term U.S. presence would assure allies in the Middle East that the United States will not withdraw from Iraq as it did from Vietnam, "lock, stock and barrel." |
Bush nominee for Surgeon General runs program to "cure" gays| |
Excerpt: So will [Joseph Holsinger]] get a chance to cure Mary Cheney and her lover Heather Poe? And if Mary and Heather are cured, then will Heather still be the parent of their child? Has Bush at least asked Mary to try to be cured by his Surgeon General nominee? Or does Bush not believe that his Surgeon General nominee's anti-gay science is legit, and if so, then why is he nominating him at all? |
America's most famous export -- Torture
U.S. detainee abuse (ie, torture of prisoners) was well planned| |
Excerpt: Many of the controversial interrogation tactics used against terror suspects in Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantanamo were modeled on techniques the U.S. feared that the Communists themselves might use against captured American troops during the Cold War, according to a little-noticed, highly classified Pentagon report released several days ago. Originally developed as training for elite special forces at Fort Bragg under the "Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape" program, otherwise known as SERE, tactics such as sleep deprivation, isolation, sexual humiliation, nudity, exposure to extremes of cold and stress positions were part of a carefully monitored survival training program for personnel at risk of capture by Soviet or Chinese forces, all carried out under the supervision of military psychologists.

ACLU sues Boeing subsidiary that ran CIA-torture flights| |
Excerpt: The lawsuit charges that flight services provided by Jeppesen Dataplan, Inc. enabled the clandestine transportation of the suspects to secret overseas locations, where they were tortured and subjected to other "forms of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment." The ACLU said the company "either knew or reasonably should have known" that they were facilitating the torture of terrorism suspects by providing flight services for the CIA.
"American corporations should not be profiting from a CIA rendition program that is unlawful and contrary to core American values," said Anthony D. Romero, executive director of the ACLU. "Corporations that choose to participate in such activity can and should be held legally accountable." |
White House nears completion of new torture guidelines| |
Excerpt: The White House is close to completing a new set of guidelines on the use of "enhanced interrogative techniques" by US agents, even as critics say such techniques are "immoral," "amateurish," and "indistinguishable" from Nazi war crimes.
Comment: There's not a lot of news in this article, but The Christian Science Monitor deserves kudos for telling the truth in its headline -- calling torture torture, not "enhanced interrogation" or other such claptrap euphemisms. Telling the truth is a very rare commodity in U.S. journalism ... Helen & Harry PERMANENT LINK |
Interview with Stephen Grey, author of Ghost Plane: The True Story of the CIA Torture Program| |
Excerpt: The pilots who flew the planes were issued fake IDs and licenses by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). ...
It's quite striking that these people are able to fly around the world with control and knowledge of many government agencies that they're using false documents and false names. And it's involved the FAA, it's involved state offices who issue fake driver's licenses, it involves private contractors down in San Jose. You have a major subsidiary of Boeing called Jefferson Dataplan, which is a private company that is involved in organizing private flights all around the world. And they work directly with the CIA in organizing these trips, which involve rendition. There was a quite interesting interview in the New Yorker where someone who actually worked for that company said that they were quite aware that these planes were being used for the outsourcing of torture. So there were a lot of people who had knowledge of this and I suppose everybody thinks it's someone else's job to work out whether this is right or wrong. |
U.N. investigator: United States breaking lots of international laws| |
Excerpt: The United States apparently violated international law in its military tribunals by using coercion to extract confessions and writing counter-terrorism laws that restrict immigration on questionable grounds, a U.N. investigator said on Friday. Scheinin also criticized several U.S. laws, including the 2001 Patriot Act, enacted by Congress after the Sept. 11 attacks on the United States, for expanding the definition of terrorist acts "beyond the bounds of conduct which is truly terrorist," and tightening immigration restrictions based on the expanded definitions. |
FBI releases Muslim-American after three months in secret African prison| |
Excerpt: An American Muslim returned home Saturday after an odyssey through jails in three East African countries that began with his arrest on fleeing war-ravaged Somalia and included three months of imprisonment without charges in Ethiopia. Human rights groups and the Meshal family attorney questioned whether Meshal was held as part of a policy by the administration -- whose detention practices are under congressional scrutiny, especially at Guantanamo Bay prison -- to have other countries hold terrorism suspects. Hafetz, a lawyer with the Brennan Center for Justice at New York University, has demanded a congressional inquiry into the case. |

April-May 2007 were the deadliest two months of entire Iraq war| |
Excerpt: Increased military activity throughout Iraq has pushed U.S. troop deaths to their highest level for any two-month period of the war. Pentagon records show that 115 troops have been killed so far in May. That raises the total for the past two months to 219, exceeding the 215 who died in April and May of 2004, when U.S. forces fought insurgents in Fallujah. |
CIA exec in 2002: "If the president wants to go to war,
our job is to find the intelligence to allow him to do so."| |
Excerpt: [Alan] Foley [the head of the CIA's Weapons Intelligence Non-Proliferation and Arms Control Center] called his senior production managers to his office. He had a clear message for the men and women who controlled the output of the center's analysts: "If the president wants to go to war, our job is to find the intelligence to allow him to do so." The directive was not quite an order to cook the books, but it was a strong suggestion that cherry-picking and slanting not only would be tolerated, but might even be rewarded. |
Iranian President never threatened to wipe Israel off the map| |
Excerpt: Across the world, a dangerous rumor has spread that could have catastrophic implications. According to legend, Iran's president has threatened to destroy Israel, or, to quote the misquote, "Israel must be wiped off the map." Contrary to popular belief, this statement was never made. |
Bush's new World-Bank head
tied to Iraq war, Big Pharma, Enron| |
Entire article: The Bush administration has announced plans to name former Deputy Secretary of State Robert Zoellick to replace Paul Wolfowitz as head of the World Bank. Zoellick spent four years as the U.S. trade representative until 2005. He went on to the State Department before leaving to join the financial firm Goldman Sachs last year. Zoellick previously served as a paid advisor to the energy company Enron before its collapse. He was an early backer of the U.S. invasion of Iraq and a co-signatory of the neo-conservative Project for a New American Century letter calling for Iraq regime change. Public health advocates are criticizing the appointment. Dr. Paul Zeitz, Executive Director of the Global AIDS Alliance called Zoellick "a terrible choice", saying: "He has been a close friend to the brand-name pharmaceutical industry, and the trade agreements he has championed block patients access to generic medication ... As a market fundamentalist he is also much less likely to stand up for a strong and effective public sector."
Mr. Hardball goes to the World Bank
Excerpt: Nine days after the September 11 terrorist attacks, I opened up The Washington Post and stared right into the flinty mind of one Robert B. Zoellick, the Bush administration’s pick for new World Bank president.
While the rest of the country was still in a haze of horror and confusion, Zoellick had seized the moment to advance his agenda as U.S. trade representative. In a commentary titled “Fighting Terror with Trade,” he argued that Congress needed to pass fast track trade negotiating authority as part of their support for the “War on Terror.” |
Supreme Court legalizes job discrimination| |
Excerpt: [A] court that once proudly stood up for the disadvantaged is increasingly protective of the powerful. ...
Lilly Ledbetter, a supervisor at the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company in Gadsden, Ala., sued her employer for paying her less than its male supervisors. ...
Goodyear argued that she filed her complaint too late and, by a 5-4 margin, the Supreme Court agreed. Title VII requires employees to file within 180 days of "the alleged unlawful employment practice." ... Bizarrely, the majority insisted it did not matter that Goodyear was still paying her far less than her male counterparts when she filed her complaint.
In addition to interpreting the statute unreasonably and ignoring the relevant precedents, the majority blinded itself to the realities of the workplace. Employees generally do not know enough about what their co-workers earn, or how pay decisions are made, to file a complaint precisely when discrimination occurs. At Goodyear, as at many companies, salaries were confidential. The court’s new rules will make it extraordinarily difficult for victims of pay discrimination to sue under Title VII. |
Bush routinely, repeatedly lies
about public opinion on ending war| |
Excerpt: Increasingly isolated on a war that is going badly, Bush has presented his alternative reality in other ways, too. He expresses understanding for the public's dismay over the unrelenting sectarian violence and American losses that have passed 3,400, but then asserts that the public's solution matches his. "A lot of Americans want to know, you know, when?" he said at a Rose Garden news conference Thursday. "When are you going to win?" Also in that session, Bush said: "I recognize there are a handful there, or some, who just say, 'Get out, you know, it's just not worth it. Let's just leave.' I strongly disagree with that attitude. Most Americans do as well."
In fact, polls show Americans do not disagree, and that leaving -- not winning -- is their main goal. |
U.S. attacks Somalia| |
Excerpt: At least one U.S. warship bombarded a remote, mountainous village in Somalia where Islamic militants had set up a base, officials in the northern region of Puntland said Saturday. The attack from a U.S. destroyer took place late Friday, said Muse Gelle, the regional governor. The extremists had arrived Wednesday by speedboat at the port town of Bargal.

Sorry, no more individual memorial
services for killed soldiers| |
Excerpt: So many Fort Lewis soldiers are being killed in Iraq that the Army base will no longer hold individual memorial services. Starting next month, Fort Lewis will hold one memorial a month for all the dead soldiers.
The Fort Lewis acting commander, Brig. Gen. William Troy, told staff last week that the number of soldiers in harm's way will preclude individual services.
Comment: WTF??? Can the military be any more insulting to these men and women and their families? What next? Are they to be dumped in mass graves because it's too expensive or inconvenient to bury them with the dignity they deserve?! They DIED individually. Alone, in their own bodies and minds. But our government cannot give them a service befitting their sacrifice? What a slap in the face to the families. Lauren S. PERMANENT LINK |
Chair of Joint Chiefs undercounts
U.S. war dead on Memorial Day| |
Excerpt: The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff dramatically underestimated the number of deaths of US Armed Service-members in the Iraq War. The gaffe came as General Peter Pace appeared on CBS News Monday morning to discuss Memorial Day. "When you take a look at the life of a nation and all that's required to keep us free, we had more than 3,000 Americans murdered on 11 September, 2001. The number who have died, sacrificed themselves since that time is approaching that number," General Pace told CBS Early Show's Harry Smith. |

Excerpt: Yes, much of Republican misdeeds doesn't get reported in the mainstream press simply because the Republicans OWN the mainstream media. But even those outlets with some measure of independence may often avoid reporting the worst of Republican behavior too -- for the simple reason it's so unbelievably awful, disgusting, and depressing. Especially as many of the Republican criminals are leading public advocates AGAINST the very crimes they commit -- prior to being caught. |

Excerpt: Now I am still here in this country wondering why, and having to pick up the pieces of what is left of my friend in our room. I would just like to know what is the true reason we are here? This country poses no threat to our own. So why must we waste the lives of good men on a country that does not give a damn about itself? Most of my friends here share my views, but do not have the courage to say anything.
Comment: It takes courage for a low-rank soldier in Iraq to say these things. And more than courage, my understanding is that it's a violation of codes of military conduct and obedience -- a violation America, of course, needs, and needs a lot more of. Helen & Harry PERMANENT LINK |
Memo to Democrats:
Screw you, it's not about politics
by Cindy Sheehan, DailyKos
| |
Excerpt: I have invested everything I have into trying to bring peace with justice to a country that wants neither. If an individual wants both, then normally he/she is not willing to do more than walk in a protest march or sit behind his/her computer criticizing others. I have spent every available cent I got from the money a "grateful" country gave me when they killed my son and every penny that I have received in speaking or book fees since then. I have sacrificed a 29 year marriage and have traveled for extended periods of time away from Casey's brother and sisters and my health has suffered and my hospital bills from last summer (when I almost died) are in collection because I have used all my energy trying to stop this country from slaughtering innocent human beings. I have been called every despicable name that small minds can think of and have had my life threatened many times.
The most devastating conclusion that I reached this morning, however, was that Casey did indeed die for nothing. His precious lifeblood drained out in a country far away from his family who loves him, killed by his own country which is beholden to and run by a war machine that even controls what we think. I have tried every since he died to make his sacrifice meaningful. Casey died for a country which cares more about who will be the next American Idol than how many people will be killed in the next few months while Democrats and Republicans play politics with human lives. It is so painful to me to know that I bought into this system for so many years and Casey paid the price for that allegiance. I failed my boy and that hurts the most. |
Rudy Giuliani: Worse than Bush
by Matt Taibbi, Rolling Stone | |
Excerpt: Yes, Rudy Giuliani is smarter than Bush. But his political strength -- and he knows it -- comes from America's unrelenting passion for never bothering to take that extra step to figure sh*t out. ...
And let's not forget Bernie Kerik, Rudy's very own hairy-assed Sancho Panza, who was nixed as director of Homeland Security after investigators uncovered a gift he received from a construction firm with alleged mob ties that wanted to do business with Giuliani's administration. It is a testament to the monstrous breadth of Rudy's chutzpah that he used his post-9/11 celebrity to push his personal bagman for a post that milks the world's hugest security-contracts tit -- at the very moment when he himself was creating a security-services company.
Comment: This is classic Taibbi, and a great retelling of the Rudy Giuliani story -- a man I do not believe can be elected in 2008, but still an interesting barometer of the political climate in post-reality Amerika... Mr. Chuckles PERMANENT LINK |
Fight them there, so we
don't have to fight them here
Editorial, The Exile [Moscow, Russia]| |
Excerpt: The U.S.-backed coalition is locked in a desperate struggle with the forces of Islamic terrorism on the battlefield called "Iraq." The stakes are as high as they are clear, but the truth has not yet been grasped by the American public. Unfortunately, irresponsible politicians are muddying up the issue, leaving America in potentially grave danger. If U.S. forces abandon Iraq and head back home, then, as Bush and Cheney have warned, the terrorists will surely follow them, and unleash murder and mayhem in America's cities.
The reasoning behind this theory is sound. The terrorists and Al Qaeda killers are fighting American forces in Iraq because they know how to get there. Muslim extremists have long known where Iraq is located, how to find it, and how to hitch a ride there. Yet they still have not figured out where America is. Despite their best efforts, Islamic terrorists just don't know where America is located. That is why there have been no terrorist attacks in nearly six years. They're waiting for U.S. forces to withdraw, so that they can follow them back. |

After killing their pets, Menu Foods harassed pet owners| |
Excerpt:
"It's one thing for two people to sit down at the table and voluntarily agree to settle their case. It's another thing to harass people on weekends through automated phone calls," [U.S. District Judge Noel ] Hillman said to Edward Ruff of Pretzel & Stouffer, Menu's lawyer. ...
"It appears that the company was engaging in a cynical strategy, designed to settle some of the strongest claims cheaply and induce pet owners to give up information it might be able to use to defend against others," Blim & Edelson [a law firm representing pet owners] said in a letter Friday that was sent to clients and posted on Internet blogs for pet owners.
Comment: Menu Foods' legal name is Menu Foods Fund, and they refer to themselves casually as "The Fund," which provides an early clue to where their corporate concerns lie. In following this ghastly news for the past few months, I've yet to see a shred of anything that looks like sincere "giving a damn" from "The Fund." Helen & Harry PERMANENT LINK

Marine Corps wants America's favorite Marine to shut up| |

Fitzgerald again points to Cheney as source of Plame cover-up| |
Excerpt: Special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald has made it clearer than ever that he was hot on the trail of a coordinated campaign to out CIA agent Valerie Plame until that line of investigation was cut off by the repeated lies from Vice President Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby. |
White House demands secrecy for log of Cheney visits| |
Comment: Virtually everything done by anyone in any high-ranking position in this administration is either a well-choreographed photo op, a thoroughly staged and scripted artificial event, or a secret they're willing to take to court to keep classified under cloak of alleged "national security" or "Presidential privilege." By design and by habit, the Bush-Cheney administration doesn't want you to know anything but the lies they've told you. Helen & Harry PERMANENT LINK |
Venezuela shuts down TV network ... for lies, sedition| |
Excerpt: Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, the Committee to Protect Journalists and members of the European Parliament, the U.S. Senate and even Chile's Congress have denounced the closure of RCTV, Venezuela's oldest private television network. Chavez's detractors got more ammunition Tuesday when the president included another opposition network, Globovision, among the "enemies of the homeland."
But the case of RCTV -- like most things involving Chavez -- has been caught up in a web of misinformation. While one side of the story is getting headlines around the world, the other is barely heard.
Comment: The mainstream American press is of course trying to make this sound like the anti-democratic censorship by an out-of-control dictator. But the network being shut down tried to overthrow the democratically elected government in a violent coup. Also, they constantly lie.
The network that was shut down in Venezuela is a little like Fox "News" ... if Fox executives actually tried to assassinate Hillary Clinton or Barack Obama. Which honestly, I'd hardly put past them. Madeline Zane PERMANENT LINK |
Top Bush aide Dan Bartlett resigns| |
Excerpt: Dan Bartlett, a member of President George W. Bush's Texas inner circle and an aide for more than 13 years, announced on Friday he is resigning as White House counselor effective July 4.
The most important White House insider to leave Bush's side since the resignation last November of Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Bartlett said he had decided to get a less demanding job so he could concentrate on helping raise his three young children all under the age of 4.
Comment: Every other Bush official who's resigned "to spend more time with his family" has been indicted or implicated in something nefarious shortly after leaving, and Bartlett certainly deserves the same fate. He leaves a slime trail of evil everywhere he goes. Helen & Harry PERMANENT LINK |
Former coalition commander in Iraq: US can forget about winning in Iraq| |
Excerpt: The man who commanded US-led coalition forces during the first year of the Iraq war says the United States can forget about winning the war.
"I think if we do the right things politically and economically with the right Iraqi leadership we could still salvage at least a stalemate, if you will -- not a stalemate but at least stave off defeat," retired Army Lieutenant General Ricardo Sanchez said in an interview. |
Former U.N. commander in Bosnia-Herzegovina: War in Iraq cannot be won| |
Excerpt: General Sir Michael Rose, who commanded the United Nations Protection Force in Bosnia-Herzegovina from 1994 to 1995, said coalition forces in Iraq were facing an impossible situation. "There is no way we are going to win the war and (we should) withdraw and accept defeat because we are going to lose on a more important level if we don't," he said. |
Military fires 58 Arabic language experts for gayness| |
Comment: Apparently the dangers of gayness are more urgent and vital than the war on terror, the war on Iraq, the coming war on Iran, etc. Helen & Harry PERMANENT LINK |
LA police admit 'mistakes' after beatings at pro-immigrant rally| |
Excerpt: The head of the Los Angeles Police Department, William Bratton, has admitted that his officers made serious mistakes at the end of a May Day rally. ... Video footage of the clashes showed police beating unarmed demonstrators with batons and firing rubber bullets. |
Trashing (or saving?) the planet
"Plastic stew" twice the size of Texas found in Pacific Ocean| |
Excerpt: How did all the plastic end up here? How did this trash tsunami begin? What did it mean? If the questions seemed overwhelming, Moore would soon learn that the answers were even more so, and that his discovery had dire implications for human -- and planetary -- health. As Alguita glided through the area that scientists now refer to as the "Eastern Garbage Patch," Moore realized that the trail of plastic went on for hundreds of miles. Depressed and stunned, he sailed for a week through bobbing, toxic debris trapped in a purgatory of circling currents. To his horror, he had stumbled across the 21st-century Leviathan. It had no head, no tail. Just an endless body. |
EPA has illegally approved 60 pesticides without first
checking to see if they could harm endangered wildlife| |
Excerpt: The Center for Biological Diversity, a nonprofit organization with offices in San Francisco, accuses the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency of failing to consult with federal wildlife agencies before approving some pesticides. |
"Straight Dope" staffer explains bee colony collapse| |
Excerpt: The bottom line? No one is certain what's going on, but a lot of the theories can't -- by themselves -- explain everything we're seeing. More important, the situation hasn't yet risen to the level of a catastrophe (except, sadly, for some of the affected beekeepers). If the same thing keeps happening every winter for another decade or so, then we might really start worrying. But for now, classifying this as a "problem with potentially severe economic impact should it persist" would be a more realistic assessment. |
Russian nuclear dump ready to blow, group warms| |
Excerpt: A nuclear waste dump in the Russia Arctic may be in danger of exploding because of corrosion caused by salt water in enormous storage tanks, the Norwegian environmental group Bellona warned Friday. ...
"We discover now that we are sitting on a powder keg, with a fuse that is burning, but we don't know how long that fuse is," said Alexander Nikitin, a former Russian navy officer who is now one of Bellona's nuclear experts. |
White House 'cherry picked' climate data| |

Guantanamo prisoner commits suicide| |
Excerpt: A Saudi Arabian detainee died Wednesday at Guantanamo Bay prison and the U.S. military said he apparently committed suicide. Critics of the detention center said the death showed the level of desperation among prisoners. ... The military did not identify the detainee who died or describe the manner of death. |
Democrats break their much-hyped rules about pork| |
Excerpt: After promising unprecedented openness regarding Congress' pork barrel practices, House Democrats are moving in the opposite direction as they draw up spending bills for the upcoming budget year.
Democrats are sidestepping rules approved their first day in power in January to clearly identify "earmarks" -- lawmakers' requests for specific projects and contracts for their states.
Rather than including specific pet projects, grants and contracts in legislation as it is being written, Democrats are following an order by the House Appropriations Committee chairman to keep the bills free of such earmarks until it is too late for critics to effectively challenge them. |
U.N. team still looking for Iraq's weapons of mass destruction| |
Excerpt: Every weekday, at a secure commercial office building on Manhattan's East Side, a team of 20 U.N. experts on chemical and biological weapons pores over satellite images of former Iraqi weapons sites. They scour the international news media for stories on Hussein's deadly arsenal. They consult foreign intelligence agencies on the status of Iraqi weapons. And they maintain a cadre of about 300 weapons experts from 50 countries and prepare them for inspections in Iraq -- inspections they will almost certainly never conduct, in search of weapons that few believe exist.
Comment: Memo to these weapons hunters: The weapons of mass destruction in Iraq are American. Look in the Green Zone, but if you try looking there you'll end up in Abu Ghraib. Helen & Harry PERMANENT LINK |
Murdoch's offer to buy Wall Street Journal revived| |
Excerpt: After initially rebuffing an offer from Rupert Murdoch's News Corp., the Bancroft family said late Thursday that it is ready to meet with the media mogul to discuss his interest in buying Dow Jones [the publisher of the Wall Street Journal]. The Bancrofts also said in a statement that after reviewing Dow Jones and the rapidly changing arena of business news and information in which it operates, "the mission of Dow Jones may be better accomplished in combination or collaboration with another organization, which may include News Corporation." |
Anti-sex is big business now| |
Excerpt: Over the past six years George W. Bush's faith-based Administration and a conservative Republican Congress transformed the small-time abstinence-only business into a billion-dollar industry. These dangerously ineffective sexual health enterprises flourish not because they spread "family values" but because of generous helpings of the same pork-heavy gumbo Bush & Co. brought to war-blighted Iraq and Katrina-hammered New Orleans--a mix of back-scratching cronyism, hefty partisan campaign donations, high-dollar lobbyists, a revolving door for political appointees and a lack of concern for results.
Comment: In fact, activists are saying that Bush’s recent highly-publicized increase in funds for “AIDS prevention” will do very little good because so much of the money is earmarked for pro-abstinence programs, which have repeatedly been proven to do absolutely nothing to stop the spread of the disease. Madeline Zane PERMANENT LINK |
"Increased" AIDS spending too little, too ideological, to do any good| |
Excerpt: President Bush has asked Congress to double U.S. spending on the global AIDS crisis to thirty billion dollars over five years. While the request drew praise, some advocacy groups offered criticism the U.S. is both under-spending and maintaining a misdirected emphasis on abstinence education. The Health Global Access Group says the U.S. would need to spend at least fifty billion dollars to keep a promise for universal access to treatment for HIV victims. The administration is also extending its controversial requirement that one-third of HIV-prevention spending go to promoting abstinence before marriage. Jodi Jacobson of the Center for Health and Gender Equity, said: "No amount of money will make up for the ideologically driven prevention policies now promoted by [the U.S.]." |
Right-wing in a dither over White House website's
acknowledgment that Cheney's granddaughter has two parents| |
Excerpt: The caption included the words: "...His parents are the Cheneys' daughter Mary, and her partner, Heather Poe. "I say shame on the White House, shame on the president and shame on the vice president for allowing such a caption to be 'officially' added onto the White House website and such a beautiful photo of two happy grandparents and their new grandchild," said Stephen Bennett, founder of Stephen Bennett Ministries, which advocates for those who choose to leave the homosexual lifestyle. |
U.S. battles al-Qaida in west Baghdad| |

Colin Powell's top aide says Neocon almost provoked nuclear war with China| |
Excerpt: Lawrence B. Wilkerson, the U.S. Army colonel who was Powell's chief of staff through two administrations, said in little-noted remarks early last month that "neocons" in the top rungs of the administration quietly encouraged Taiwanese politicians to move toward a declaration of independence from mainland China -- an act that the communist regime has repeatedly warned would provoke a military strike. |
Kerry voted for Iraq war in 2002 to help presidential campaign| |
Excerpt: Senator John F. Kerry voted for the Iraq war resolution in 2002 after weighing the political ramifications and being told by his future campaign manager that he would never be elected president in 2004 unless he sided with President Bush on the issue, according to a forthcoming book by Kerry's former strategist.
Comment: These sound like the same advisors who are now telling Democrats that they have to continue the war endlessly in order to get re-elected, when of course, the exact opposite is true. How could voting in favor of something that three-quarters of the public opposes possibly help you win an election?? This is why we have to throw these over-consulted death-merchants out of officeand replace them with actual Democrats. Madeline Zane PERMANENT LINK |
Pfizer sued for testing drugs on African children| |
Excerpt: A Nigerian state has filed criminal charges against Pfizer Inc. for its alleged role in the deaths of children who received an unapproved drug during a meningitis epidemic, court papers showed on Wednesday. The state government alleges Pfizer selected children and infants from crowds at a makeshift epidemic camp and gave about half of the group Trovan, which it says was untested at the time. |
Brazil to subsidize birth control pills| |
Excerpt: Just weeks after Pope Benedict XVI denounced government-backed contraception in a visit to Brazil, the president unveiled a program Monday to provide cheap birth control pills at 10,000 drug stores across the country. President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said the plan will give poor Brazilians "the same right that the wealthy have to plan the number of children they want." |
English teachers refuse to spy on Muslim students| |
Excerpt: University and College Union, the main trade body trade union and professional association for higher educators, resolved to "To resist attempts by government to engage colleges and universities in activities which amount to increased surveillance of Muslim or other minority students and to the use of members of staff for such witch-hunts," at their annual congress held in Bournemouth.
The motion comes in response to British government's new guidelines that make it compulsory for universities to keep a watchful eye on Muslim students, and immediately report any suspicious behavior to the authorities. |

College at Oxford goes fundamentalist| |
Excerpt: The college head thinks 95% of us are going to burn in hell. His new deputy believes it's wrong for women to teach men. Insiders are complaining about an "openly homophobic" atmosphere. A third of the academic staff have resigned. Others are unwilling to speak openly to the press because they fear disciplinary action. Is this perhaps the notorious Bob Jones University in South Carolina, where rock music and mobile phones are banned, where men must have short hair and where women can't wear trousers to class? No. Welcome to the University of Oxford. |
Media-savvy parents of missing pretty white girl meet the Pope| |
Excerpt: There are many factors that went into making this happen. 1) The parents of Madeline are incredibly media savvy, and knew exactly how to get the word out about their daughter, 2) Madeline is a white girl, and 3) The American media thrives too much on spectacle and "human interest" stories that make no difference on the world stage. Take away one of these three things and the story becomes on a non-story. |
Bush to grieving war mom: "Don't go sell it on eBay"| |
Entire item: “Don’t go sell it on eBay.” -- President Bush, upon giving a presidential coin to families who lost soldiers in Iraq, according to Elaine Johnson.
The antiwar activist, who lost a son in November 2003, told NPR's Tell Me More yesterday that she met with the president later that month at Fort Carson, Colo., where, she said, Bush presented the coin to a few families.

Who is this "G8" that's meeting?| |
Excerpt: To transform the lives of the world's poorest would cost the British government less than its citizens spend each year on celebrity magazines.

Dozens of Dateline pedophile stings can't be prosecuted| |
Excerpt: "It's a prosecutor's worst nightmare," [said Defense Attorney David Finn, a former prosecutor and judge.] "In fact, I've had this when I was a federal prosecutor. The last thing you want is the news media or reality TV shows to be involved in the prosecution of a case or the investigation of the case." |

U.S. a theocratic state, says former Canadian ambassador| |
Excerpt: Frank McKenna, Canada's former ambassador to Washington, referred to the United States on Friday as "a theocratic state" in which Christian evangelicalism plays a big role in the Republican administration. "Right now the United States is in many ways a theocratic state, not dissimilar to some of the other religious states in the world where religion has a huge part to play in government." |
Ray Bradbury says we've all misunderstood Fahrenheit 451| |
Excerpt: Fahrenheit 451 is not, he says firmly, a story about government censorship. Nor was it a response to Senator Joseph McCarthy, whose investigations had already instilled fear and stifled the creativity of thousands. ... Bradbury, a man living in the creative and industrial center of reality TV and one-hour dramas, says it is, in fact, a story about how television destroys interest in reading literature. |
Dershowitzt vows to sue lecturers boycotting Israel| |
Excerpt: Prof [Alan] Dershowitz said he had started work on legal moves to fight any boycott. He told the Times Higher Educational Supplement that these would include using a US law - banning discrimination on the basis of nationality - against UK universities with research ties to US colleges. ...
"I will obtain legislation dealing with this issue, imposing sanctions that will devastate and bankrupt those who seek to impose bankruptcy on Israeli academics," he told the journal.
Comment: Alan Dershowitz, who was once a respected activist for the Bill of Rights, lost his mind and gave up on freedom after 9/11, and re-invented himself as an outspoken advocate of principles like this, an eager intolerance that boils down to an endorsement of totalitarianism.
