Can the Democrats muster a strategy to counter the "stay-the-course" Republicans?

Bush's Iraq Offensive

The Iraq War as a Trophy Photo

"A peace activist should keep a photo in his or her wallet of a small Iraqi child torn to pieces - a constant reminder to live like others are dying," writes David Swanson. "The trouble is that we find it almost unbearable to look at such images. We believe the war would end if the corporate media showed such images, yet we turn our faces away if they're placed in front of us; even more so, if they happen to be images of torture or of soldiers enjoying humiliating Iraqis."

The Other Cheney Behind the Scenes

"Since 2005, Dick Cheney's daughter Elizabeth has held a powerful position guiding Middle East policy," writes Robert Dreyfuss. "And like father, like daughter: Liz is a key player in the push for regime change in Iran and Syria."

DeLay's Mission Continues

"What is the born-again East Texas Christian word for chutzpah? Whatever you call it, DeLay displayed enormous amounts when he, a GOP party boss who long fought for the expansion of federal government influence over all areas of Americans' private lives up to and including when to pull the plug on brain-dead relatives, castigated liberals for wanting 'more control over people's lives and decisions,'" writes Robert Scheer.

Global Image of the US Is Worsening

Hi!! Some of you have emailed me and let me know that the link didn't work for you in the previous email I sent out. I am sorry about that; I put the direct link at the very bottom of this email. Thank you for letting me know that it didn't work instead of just ignoring it! This is a very important petition. Thanks again,

Animal Bill of Rights

The struggle to end cruelty to animals is not an easy one. But there is something easy you can do right now to make a difference in the lives of abused animals. It's as quick and simple as typing in your name. Through the Animal Bill of Rights, we are working to show Congress a groundswell of support for legislation that protects animals and recognizes their rights. Ultimately, we hope the petition will be a bill. In the meantime, the thousands of signatures on this petition send a clear message to our legislators that Americans strongly support legal protection for animals. When animal-related legislation is proposed, Congress will remember the huge number of signatures on the Animal Bill of Rights. With that in mind, they will cast a vote for the animals.

Sign the Animal Bill of Rights

Florida Turnpike System killing thousands of animals

Email Jim Ely the Director of Florida's turnpike system:

Turnpike

Air Date: 06/13/2006

Reported by: Carmel Cafiero

When it comes to the Florida Turnpike - you might think the only thing "wild" is the way some people drive. But there are also thousands of animals co-existing with the cars and trucks in neighboring wetlands. In tonight's Carmel On The Case, investigative reporter Carmel Cafiero shows why the animals living in one section of South Florida are in danger.

WSVN--It might seem like a piece of the everglades.

There are fish who cruise along as if they own the waterway.

Lizards - large and small - who hang on limbs and rest on logs.

Birds looking for lunch and finding it.

Even a family of coots waiting for their eggs to hatch.

But all these creatures aren't living in the everglades, they're living in canals along florida's turnpike.

And it's all being covered up in Broward County to add more lanes from Griffin Road to Atlantic Boulevard.

Bev Hoppe: "There's some poor fishes getting it right there."

That's Bev Hoppe talking to her home video camera.

She took these pictures as the canal behind her home was filled in.

Bev Hoppe: "Oh I found it very sad. I kept saying you know - the poor critters, ya know, all the critters are dying - but nobody care about fish and turtles."

Lots of fish and lots of turtles.

The 500 million dollar project will affect 21 miles of what a spokesperson calls - ditches.

Ditches originally dug back in the 1950's.

Nicole Kalil: "With construction we needed the ditches back to make room not only for the roadway but also for the sound walls which a lot of these neighbors have advocated for very heavily throughout the years."

But some neighbors are also concerned about the wildlife that has flourished along the waterways in the fifty something years they've been around.

Loretta Murray: "Buried alive - all these animals couldn't escape. Where are they going to go to? It's a travesty. It's a graveyard now."

Captain Dan Kipnis: "It says to me we're gonna lose a lot of species - fish, birds, reptiles, snakes, alligators and turtles - things that are normally here - we're gonna lose them."

Captain Dan Kipnis is on the board of directors of the Florida wildlife federation - a citizens organization.

He says the area is much more than ditches.

Captain Dan Kipnis: "There is value to this. Obviously its got animals living in it. We've taken a lot of wetlands out of South Florida - we can't lose more."

Wetlands are critial to the environment because they support a wide variety of plants and animals and are protected by federal law.

But when we asked the spokesperson for the turnpike, she maintained wetlands were not being destroyed.

Carmel Cafiero: "Is this considerd a wetland - area?"

Nicole Kalil: "Again it's - it's a ditch."

Carmel Cafiero: "Is it consider a wetlands area?"

Nicole Kalil: "Not that I know of, but again I will look to experts if you'd like me to find out."

The spokesperson later told us by phone - look up wetlands in the dictionary.

So we took it a step further and contacted the U.S. Army corps of engineers.

It says these areas are considered wetlands.

The corps only issued a permit for the project after turnpike officials agreed to keep this area from peters road to broward boulevard and plant native wetland species.

The records also reflect the turnpike will have to pay into a fund that purchases and preserves wetlands.

Carmel Cafiero: "The Corps of Engineers determined this project will not jeopardize critical habitat for threatened or endangered species. As for the critters that won't live through the project - its the price of progress."

Nicole Kalil: "I think the most important thing to know about this project is that there's no intentional cruelty when the water drains a majority of the wildlife goes out with it."

A bright spot here - those eggs we showed earlier - have now hatched.

The baby birds will be able to fly away when their little piece of paradise - is the next to be paved.

Urgent Flag Day Alert: Free Speech at Risk

I write today to urge you to take action on a matter near and dear to my heart -- free speech. The ACLU urgently needs the help of everyone across America who values our Constitution and the fundamental freedoms it protects.

Here is the situation -- the Senate is poised to vote on a constitutional amendment that would allow Congress to prohibit desecration of the flag. This amendment would restrict certain freedoms in the Bill of Rights for the first time in our history, setting a dangerous precedent that puts all of our liberties at risk.

With your help, the Senate has blocked the flag amendment in past years. This year, the vote is closer than ever. Election-year political posturing has taken over in the Senate and we are now within just one vote of losing this fight.

It is critical that you take action right now at http://action.aclu.org/flag. Urge your senators to protect free expression and vote "no" on the flag amendment.

Free expression and the right to dissent are core principles that the American flag represents. Our liberties can only remain vibrant and strong when we stand by these principles. If exceptions are made every time someone in power disagrees with a particular act or statement, our liberties will surely be compromised.

From my travels around the country, I know that many military veterans strongly oppose this amendment because they know the cost of freedom and believe that measures like this would unnecessarily restrict the very liberties they fought to defend. They also understand that the flag amendment is a distraction from the real concerns of veterans, like adequate health care and VA funding.

Congress should not be sacrificing our First Amendment freedoms in order to mobilize some politicians’ political base.

I urge you to contact your senators right now and tell them to vote "no" on this proposed amendment. If passed, it would betray the very principles the flag represents. http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=2-V6vWg5unL62epzNcy6bg..

If you would like to read more before taking action, go here. http://action.aclu.org/site/R?i=zxH1QuMJqYHOTS_HCaqsBQ..


Sincerely,

Nadine Strossen President, ACLU

P.S. We'll need all the supporters we can muster in this battle. Once you've taken action, get your friends involved by sending them an eCard about the Flag Amendment.

Fear for My Daughter: Ft. Lewis soldier refusing to return to Iraq arrested

Sara Rich is the mother of an AWOL US soldier. Facing three deployments to Iraq in less than four years, Sara's daughter Suzanne Swift searched her soul and decided that she could not go back to Iraq and continue to go out on what she calls "useless missions." Nor could she continue to cope with the constant sexual harassment and fear of rape by her own officers and fellow soldiers that she had to endure. On Sunday night, the city police of Eugene, Oregon, without a warrant, raided Sara Rich's home and took Suzanne away. She was taken to Fort Lewis, Washington.

Amnesty International: EU and US "Partners in Crime" on CIA Flights

Amnesty International urged European states on Wednesday to stop being "partners in crime" with the United States over the alleged kidnapping of terrorism suspects and their transfer to countries that use torture. In a report and a letter addressed to EU leaders meeting on Thursday and Friday in Brussels, the human rights groups backed accusations that the US Central lntelligence Agency ran secret transfer flights and that European countries were aware of it.

US opens new war front in North Africa

Asia Times
by Jason Motlagh

06/14/06

Despite a setback in Somalia, where anti-Islamist warlords recently lost control of the capital, Mogadishu, to a jihadist militia, the United States is plunging into a far vaster set of commitments, stretching across the 'Wild West' of Saharan Africa. Over the next five years, Washington is expected to spend US$500 million on an overt counter-terror program to secure what it has dubbed the latest front in its 'global war on terror.' Detractors insist the move could backfire and have the same unintended consequences as in the Horn of Africa, albeit on a much larger scale with even more at stake...

To come into my house like that, accusing me, shooting me in my chest, and saying that I was a terrorist, it really hurt. As to the identity or motive of the police informant, I have no idea. I'm in the same situation as everyone else. In my eyes, the person that said this -- gave the police inaccurate intelligence -- they are the terrorists to me. They terrorised me and my family. ... I don't see this as an end. It's far from ending. I see it as the start. They will do it to another family, family after family. I knew they made a mistake when they entered my house, of an innocent family...

Postmark Guantanamo

In These Times
by Christopher Hayes

06/13/06

After the U.S. Senate voted last year to strip Guantanamo detainees of the right to habeas corpus, you'd think it would have dashed the hopes of the desperate prisoners that the world's greatest deliberative body would prove their salvation. But Saifullah Paracha is apparently an eternal optimist. In March, after 18 months in Guantanamo, Paracha, 58, decided to write a letter to 98 U.S. senators describing his plight. The senators haven't responded, though it's hard to blame them. They don't know the letters exist. The Department of Defense won't release them for delivery. 'He lived in the United States,' says Paracha's lawyer G. T. Hunt. 'He's a pro-American person. He believes in American justice. He believes that if he can get a hearing he'll get out'...

It's official: Lying's not illegal

The Nation
by David Corn

06/13/06

Early this morning, Robert Luskin, Karl Rove's lawyer, told reporters that special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald had sent him a letter stating that Rove would not be indicted in the CIA leak case. In a statement, Luskin declared, 'We believe that the Special Counsel's decision should put an end to the baseless speculation about Mr. Rove's conduct.' Bush administration (and Rove) advocates will spin this news as vindication for the mastermind of George W. Bush's presidential campaigns. But there is no need for baseless speculation to conclude that Rove was involved in the leak and that the White House misled the public about his participation and broke a pledge to fire anyone who had leaked information about Valerie Wilson, the CIA officer married to former ambassador Joseph Wilson, a critic of the administration. Here is what is known about Rove and the leak...

A liberal crowd both booed and cheered Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton Tuesday after she encouraged Democrats to have a 'difficult conversation' about their position on the Iraq war in order to win over middle-of-the-road voters. ... At a speech before a liberal gathering dubbed 'Take Back America,' the New York senator took grief from those in the audience critical of her vote for the Iraq war and her opposition to an immediate withdrawal of U.S. troops. 'I do not think it is a smart strategy, either, for the president to continue with his open-ended commitment, which I think does not put enough pressure on the new Iraqi government,' said Clinton. ... 'Nor do I think it is smart strategy to set a date certain. I do not agree that that is in the best interests,' said Clinton, prompting loud booing from some at the gathering...

Pentagon won't hide interrogation tactics

Under pressure from Congress, the Pentagon has dropped plans to keep some interrogation techniques secret by putting them in a classified section of a military manual, defense officials said Tuesday. Two senior officials said there will not be a classified section in the long-awaited revision of the Army Field Manual. One of the officials said descriptions of interrogation techniques initially planned for the classified section are either being made public or are being eliminated as tactics that can be used against prisoners...

Dreck wegräumen zur WM. Hamburger Senat verpflichtet Ein-Euro-Jobber zum Praktikum als Straßenfeger

„In Hamburg werden Ein-Euro-Jobber während der Fußball-Weltmeisterschaft als Straßenkehrer bei der Stadtreinigung eingesetzt. Für ver.di-Fachbereichsleiter Roland Kohsiek ein klarer Rechtsbruch…“ Artikel von Andreas Grünwald in junge Welt vom 9.6.06 http://www.jungewelt.de/2006/06-09/030.php


»Im sozialen Bereich boomen Ein-Euro-Jobs«

Billigarbeiter füttern, pflegen und lehren. Fachkräfte werden arbeitslos, die Qualität geht in den Keller. Ein Gespräch mit Hille Gosejacob-Rolf, Vorsitzende des Deutschen Berufsverbands für soziale Arbeit (DBSH) und Geschäftsführerin der Lebenshilfe Erlangen–Höchstadt e. V. im bayerischen Herzogenaurach, von Ralf Wurzbacher in junge Welt vom 10./11.6.2006 http://www.jungewelt.de/2006/06-10/021.php

Aus dem Text: „…F: Warum fliegt die massenhafte illegale Beschäftigung von Ein-Euro-Jobbern nicht häufiger auf? A: Aus der Not heraus. Der Staat ist ja indirekt sowohl Arbeitgeber als auch Kontrolleur der Ein-Euro-Kräfte. Warum sollte er eine Praxis unterbinden, von der er selbst profitiert. Ich selbst habe versucht, Fälle von eklatantem Mißbrauch mit den Trägern und der Arbeitsverwaltung zu klären. Seitdem habe ich Klagedrohungen am Hals.“

Déjà vu in Ramadi

"Come and see the blood in the streets." Pablo Neruda, ‘Selected Poems’

By Mike Whitney

We’ve seen this before. An Iraqi city is surrounded by troops and armored vehicles; the artillery is wheeled into place, the roads are blocked, a giant wall of sand is piled up around the perimeter, and everything goes silent before the final onslaught.

The US version of the Guantanamo suicides is disgraceful: the cause of death was gross injustice

A tunnel without end

By Zachary Katznelson

Islam says it goes against God to kill yourself. So what would drive a man to take his own life, despite his religious beliefs? The answer shames the US and its allies, Britain prominently included.

Guantanamo: A History of Torture

Interview with Alfred McCoy, Professor of history at the University of Wisconsin.

Guantanamo is a complete construction. It's a system of total psychological torture, designed to break down every detainee contained therein, designed to produce a state of hopelessness and despair that leads, tragically, sadly in this case to suicide.

Terrorism Is A Tactic

By Charley Reese

Terrorism is a tactic, not an entity, and it is a tactic used by people who have a political grievance. Therefore, if you want to eliminate terrorism, you have to address the political problems that gave it birth.

All Representatives Must Be Held Publicly Accountable

by Nancy Levant

It is dangerously and absurdly past time to force our “representatives” to face the American public. Our government is full of runaway radicals who are (and have been for decades) devoted to the daily and rapidly emerging global government and it’s overrunning of our Constitutional laws and Republic. They, therefore, must be held accountable to their constituents......

There is a Dark Cloud Over America

by Dorothy Seese

Worse yet, no one owns their home as their property, free and clear. The mortgage may be paid off, but property taxes, assessments for roads and other government fees and taxes turn into a form of rental to remain in one's own home or lose it to the taxing authority! And then there's the new twist to eminent domain that says your property can be taken (for the taker's idea of a fair value) for some good reason, "good" being defined by the takers.....

The Project for the New American Century

By William Rivers Pitt

The People versus the Powerful is the oldest story in human history. At no point in history have the Powerful wielded so much control. At no point in history has the active and informed involvement of the People, all of them, been more absolutely required.
