Dean Baker writes: "The Center for American Progress issued a useful report last week on ways to reduce and eventually eliminate poverty. The report proposed a national goal of cutting the number of people in poverty by half within a decade, and eliminating poverty altogether within a generation. While these are worthy goals, and the report describes many carefully designed policies for achieving them, there is a more basic problem that must also be considered in confronting poverty: We often don't count poor people."

Jeremy Scahill writes: "The 145,000 active duty US forces are nearly matched by occupation personnel that currently come from companies like Blackwater USA and the former Halliburton subsidiary KBR, which enjoy close personal and political ties with the Bush administration. Until Congress reins in these massive corporate forces and the whopping federal funding that goes into their coffers, partially withdrawing US troops may only set the stage for the increased use of private military companies (and their rent-a-guns) which stand to profit from any kind of privatized future 'surge' in Iraq."

DAVID Laws MP has declared his support for a law restricting the placing of mobile phone masts.

The Bill aims to bring mobile phone masts under strict planning control and bring in the 'precautionary principle', giving extra safeguards for schools, homes, and medical facilities from the risk of excessive radiation.

David Laws said: "The positioning of phone masts has upset many people in Somerset as masts have been put up close to schools, hospitals and residential areas.

"This Bill will allow planning authorities to take account of health concerns and will require the industry to produce more evidence about the radiation emitted, and to justify the need for each mast."

VOTING ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/cheney_impeachment.php

Cast your vote and send your message to Congress at the same time!

As courageously drafted by Dennis Kucinich in H.Res. 333 filed just last week, the first and most central ground stated for the impeachment of Vice President Cheney was that he led the charge in fabricating a case for invasion of Iraq, based on phony weapons of mass destruction. Now almost as if it were timed to coincide with that initiative, former CIA head George Tenet reveals they knew their evidence was flimsy, erroneous and just plain bogus all along, but that Cheney just kept exaggerating the threat anyway. This is without question the most momentous issue of our time, and whether you agree that Cheney should be impeached, or not, your voice is needed to speak out now, and tell Congress what they should do about it.

You can vote yes. Or you can vote no. But we cannot remain silent.

Of course, anyone who's been honestly and fairly paying attention has known at least since the exposure of the Downing Street Minutes that we were misled into the Iraq quagmire, by an executive branch that could not be bothered with either the actual facts or a serious policy debate about them, Richard Clarke told us the same thing and he was smeared in the corporate media for his truth telling, as has every other previous lesser whistle blower. What will the contemptuous talking heads say now that the chief of the CIA at the time is another, and perhaps the most clinching, confirming witness?

Apparently what so galled Tenet enough for him to spill the beans on his own complicity (beside an O.J. scale book advance) was that the Bush administration, in its typical coward's fashion, tried in the media to pin on him the ENTIRE blame for the failure of their wrong-headed strategic debacle. "Tenet told us it was a slam dunk," Cheney pleaded on TV, as the five time military deferment king again tried to escape any public responsibility for his own primary malfeasance. But now in an astonishing twist, Tenet reveals what the words "slam dunk" actually meant in context.

In the book, Tenet confesses that he was NOT being asked at the time to vouch for the quality of the intelligence. He says he was being asked if the case could be SOLD to the American people. That's all they cared about, not whether there was any actual support for their arguments, but whether they thought they could get away with bum rushing the rest of us. So when Tenet said "slam dunk", what he MEANT was they were sure they would be able to stuff their cooked intelligence down our throats.

This is incredibly damning stuff. Tenet has unleashed the intelligence community equivalent of "If I Helped Them Do It". They were not having a policy debate about the strength of the case against Iraq, they were having a sales meeting of con men to plot how far they could go in cheating the American people out of our lives and the contents of our treasury. And they were determined to go all the way. "Slam dunk" was not an intelligence assessment, it was a SALES PROJECTION of their fraudulent product.

Tenet was neither the victim of a bad rap, nor the unwitting excuse. Instead he was a willing co-conspirator, happy enough to play along with the war fever and collect his ill-gotten medal of freedom while mooching all the other various perks of the power they seized. But the criminal mastermind of the whole sordid affair was none other than Richard B. Cheney. And that truth can no longer be hidden by even this most secretive of administrations. What will it take for Congress to impeach him and put him on trial in the Senate for highest of all high crimes, launching a war of immoral and unjustifiable aggression, that has cost more Americans their lives than died on 9/11 (and upwards of a million Iraqis), based on NOTHING but deliberate and calculated lies?

VOTING ACTION PAGE: http://www.usalone.com/cheney_impeachment.php

What it will take.. . . and all that is required . . . is your voice, and the voices of your friends, neighbors and acquaintances. VOTE now in the National Impeachment Poll and send your personal messages to Congress at the same time. In just a couple days we have had over 18,000 submissions already. We need everyone who has ever submitted an action page to cast their vote in this one. There's no reason why we can't present Congress with a million votes on this. We're GOING to do it. And when we do, impeachment hearings WILL become a reality on Capitol Hill, no matter what a handful of corrupt and overpaid pundits may have said.

Please take action NOW, so we can win all victories that are supposed to be ours, and forward this message to everyone else you know.

David L. Dill writes: "Four years ago, when I began publicly opposing paperless electronic voting, passing a federal law to require voter-verified paper records (VVPRs) seemed an impossible dream. Rep. Rush Holt (D-New Jersey) introduced such a bill in 2003, and another in 2005, but both bills languished in committee until the clock ran out. The dream is now achievable, due in part to the unending stream of problems caused by paperless voting machines in recent years. HR 811, the third incarnation of the Holt bill, is a critical measure."

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/043007N.shtml



Rebuttal to Dill's Support of the HR 811 Trojan Horse

"Dr. David Dill, long-time proponent of the concept of 'verified voting' (voters get to proofread computer printouts of their voting intention), recently posted an op-ed in support of the Holt Bill (HR 811)," writes Nancy Tobi. "However, Dr. Dill's arguments in support of HR 811 fall apart from the moment he promotes an 'it's this or nothing' position. Every argument he makes in support of the bill is easily deconstructed when we remember we are fighting for our American democracy and not the right for corporate technologists, computer expert elitists, and bureaucrats to run our elections."

No foreign diplomat has been closer or had more access to President Bush, his family and his administration than Prince Bandar bin Sultan of Saudi Arabia. Since the Iraq war and the attendant plummeting of America's image in the Muslim world, King Abdullah has been striving to set a more independent and less pro-American course, American and Arab officials said. And that has steered America's relationship with its staunchest Arab ally into uncharted waters. Prince Bandar, they say, may no longer be able to serve as an unerring beacon of Saudi intent.

Despite declining populations, polar bears can still be hunted as “trophies”.

Numerous studies have now shown the effects of warming temperatures on declining polar bear populations and ice habitats — from drowning and starving to reports of cannibalism among bears. Yet Polar bears are still the only marine mammals allowed to be trophy hunted and brought into the U.S.

US sport hunters can still apply for a permit to kill a polar bear in Canada and bring their “trophy”— a polar bear’s head or hide — back into the States. Please contact your federal representative and senators and urge them to support The Polar Bear Protection Act.

California Democratic Party Passes Resolution Demanding Impeachment of Bush and Cheney

ANOTHER HISTORIC STEP ON IMPEACHMENT

Sparked by an insurgency among delegates, the California Democratic Party has taken an historic step forward on the issue of impeachment. In a resolution affirmed by the full state party convention Sunday, the Democrats called on the U.S. Congress to use its subpoena power to investigate misdeeds of President Bush and Vice President Cheney – and to hold the Administration accountable “with appropriate remedies and punishment, including impeachment.” The delegate insurgency was coordinated by Progressive Democrats of America and its allies.

While Speaker Pelosi had declared impeachment “off the table,” the Democratic Party rank-and-file has demonstrated its commitment to putting the issue “on” the table. And it’s no longer just the rank-and-file: Even among the members of the convention’s Resolutions Committee (appointed by the California Party chair), the impeachment resolution was the top vote-getter (tied with one other resolution).

Coming on the heels of mass actions and resolutions across the country in support of impeachment, and Congressman Dennis Kucinich’s introduction of Articles of Impeachment against Cheney, this action by the powerful California Democratic Party builds on the pro-impeachment momentum.

The resolution refers to Bush and Cheney having acted in a manner “subversive of the Constitution” by. . .

1) using false information to justify the invasion of Iraq

2) authorizing “the torture of prisoners of war”

3) “authorizing wiretaps on U.S. citizens without obtaining a warrant”

4) “disclosing the name of an undercover CIA operative”

5) suspending “the historic Writ of Habeas Corpus by ordering the indefinite detention of so-called enemy combatants”

6) “signing statements used to ignore or circumvent portions of over 750 Congressional statutes”

The resolution ends by calling for “vigorous investigation” and “appropriate remedies and punishment, including impeachment.”

PDA Director Tim Carpenter said: “This was an example of the Party grassroots speaking its mind, and the Party officials responding to the call. This action represents the successful culmination of PDA’s one-month, eleven-city barnstorming tour across California – aimed at putting impeachment and ending the occupation of Iraq at the top of the Party’s agenda.”

Text of CA Democratic Party Impeachment Resolution

April 30, 2007, San Diego, CA

CALLING FOR FULL INVESTIGATION INTO ABUSES OF POWER BY PRESIDENT GEORGE W. BUSH AND RICHARD B. CHENEY

WHEREAS, George W. Bush and Richard B. Cheney have acted in a manner contrary to their trust as President and Vice President, subversive of the Constitution, to the great prejudice of the cause of law and justice, and to the manifest injury of the people of California and the United States of America, by intentionally disseminating and propagating knowingly false and fabricated “evidence” regarding the threat from Iraq in order to wage a tragic, bloody war with the loss of thousands of brave American troops and Iraqi civilians, and

WHEREAS, it is clear that since September 11, 2001, President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney have abused their powers of office by: 1) using information they knew to be false as justification for the U.S. invasion of Iraq; 2) condoning and authorizing the torture of prisoners of war; 3) authorizing wiretaps on U.S. citizens without obtaining a warrant; 4) disclosing the name of an undercover CIA operative contrary to law in order to harm her for her husband’s opposition to the Iraq War; 5) having suspended and denied the historic Writ of Habeas Corpus by ordering the indefinite detention of so-called enemy combatants without charge and without access to legal counsel; and 6) overstepping Presidential authority by signing statements used to ignore or circumvent portions of over 750 Congressional statutes he brought into law; and

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the California Democratic Party supports vigorous investigation of these charges by the Congress of the United States, including the full use of Congressional subpoena power authority to completely disclose the actions of the Administration to the American people and to take necessary action to call the Administration to account with appropriate remedies and punishment, including impeachment.

Submitted by Senator Art Torres (Ret.), Chairman of the California Democratic Party; CDP Resolutions Co-Chairs; Emily Thurber; Bob Farran; Michael Barnett; Tim Carpenter, Joye Swan; Patrick Henry Demo Club; 69th AD Cmte.; The Hull-Richters; Alexandar, Mark and Natasha

Watching Paul Wolfowitz, exposed in a sex and corruption scandal involving fellow World Banker and private squeeze, Shaha Ali Riza, grappling for several weeks now to save his super-cushy job at the World Bank has brought to mind the infamous quote Ron Suskind teased from a neocon senior aid to George W. Bush, ‘We’re an empire now, and when we act, we create our own reality … and you, all of you, will be left to just study what we do.’ Regarding reality, Wolfowitz, it seems, has had to call in re-write (and not for the first time). By requesting his resignation, the Bank’s Board demonstrated to any clear-eyed neocon that they were not studying the correct material. Wolfowitz, instead of acting upon the Board’s decision as he previously indicated he would, has hired lawyer-insider Robert Bennet to represent him before that same Board...

All WHIG members knew that what Cheney had claimed on August 26, 2002 was a lie. Hussein Kamel, Saddam’s son-in-law, had told the IAEA the exact opposite of what Cheney had claimed, and the IAEA had subsequently verified that General Kamel spoke the truth. So Cheney lied. Many Congresspersons knew he lied. And on the eve of Bush’s pre-emptive attack on Iraq — thanks to Scott Ritter — the mainstream media also learned that Cheney had lied. At least about what Kamel had revealed. Did Bush administration officials tell you other lies about Iraq? And did the mainstream media repeat those lies?

National Review

The political problem of the Bush administration is grave, possibly beyond the point of rescue. The opinion polls are savagely decisive on the Iraq question. About 60 percent of Americans wish the war ended — wish at least a timetable for orderly withdrawal. What is going on in Congress is in the nature of accompaniment. The vote in Congress is simply another salient in the war against war in Iraq. Republican forces, with a couple of exceptions, held fast against the Democrats’ attempt to force Bush out of Iraq even if it required fiddling with the Constitution. President Bush will of course veto the bill, but its impact is critically important in the consolidation of public opinion. It can now accurately be said that the legislature, which writes the people’s laws, opposes the war...

As his term winds down in disarray, President Bush enjoys what could be called the lame-duck advantage: He doesn’t have to worry about losing at the polls. He has devoted little attention after the Virginia Tech massacre to issues such as campus safety and gun control, except to reiterate support for gun ownership. He has left it to the Democrats to take on the gun problems that usually divide Congress. Senate majority leader Harry Reid says, ‘I hope there’s not a rush to do anything. We need to take a deep breath.’ Earlier in his administration, Mr. Bush might have by now accepted the resignation of Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, a liability for the administration. But these days, Bush is playing the ‘loyalty card’ all the way. After Mr. Gonzales’s disastrous appearance before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week, Bush said he has more confidence than ever in his beleaguered attorney general...

Four long years of misguided intransigence and finally, the war of choice in Iraq can take a more controlled, predictable course.

Lincoln Davis, David Davis, Marsha Blackburn and Zack Wamp, and Sens. Bob Corker and Lamar Alexander, who voted against this.) Don’t give me nonsensical talking points about micromanaging the war. In The Federalist No. 58, drafted by our Constitution’s framers, Alexander Hamilton and James Madison: The House of Representatives … in a word, hold the purse. This power over the purse may, in fact, be regarded as the most complete and effectual weapon with which any constitution can arm the immediate representatives of the people, for obtaining a redress of every grievance, and for carrying into effect every just and salutary measure...

This announcement was posted at Portland Indymedia late Friday (26 April 2007):

Give her a friendly call.

Rep. Pelosi was reluctant to impeach Bush, but now must consider Cheney impeachment. She is accepting public input at (202) 225 - 4965 during weekday business hours (her after hours mailbox tends to stay full).

This announcement was posted as a comment to a repost of the articles of impeachment along with the transcript of Dennis' responses to questions at the press conference, Tuesday, April 24.

http://portland.indymedia.org/en/2007/04/358346.shtml

I intend to call her and tell her what I have already told my Representative: "Impeaching Cheney is a matter of supporting the troops. Can you imagine what it must be like for them to know that the show is being run by war profiteers? Considering Cheney's connection with Halliburton (no longer even a U.S. corporation) and the closed-room deals with Big Oil, the appearance not only of lying, but of lying for the sake of more $Billions in war-profiteering graft is unavoidable. Not to impeach Cheney is to add insult to the injuries already sustained - or tragically to be sustained - by our troops on the ground in Iraq."

BTW: Why didn't the Congress enact - in those great first 100 hours - a War Profiteering Act, such as was once on the books since World War II? And let it be with a provision for retrospective prosecution and penalties for violations of any other statute, RICO, etc.!

Coming on the heels of mass actions and resolutions across the country in support of impeachment, and Congressman Dennis Kucinich’s introduction of Articles of Impeachment against Cheney, this action by the powerful California Democratic Party builds on the pro-impeachment momentum.

The resolution refers to Bush and Cheney having acted in a manner “subversive of the Constitution?by. . .

1) using false information to justify the invasion of Iraq

2) authorizing “the torture of prisoners of war

3) authorizing wiretaps on U.S. citizens without obtaining a warrant

4) disclosing the name of an undercover CIA operative

5) suspending the historic Writ of Habeas Corpus by ordering the indefinite detention of so-called enemy combatants

6) signing statements used to ignore or circumvent portions of over 750 Congressional statutes

The resolution ends by calling for “vigorousinvestigation" and “appropriate remedies and punishment, including impeachment."

This was an example of the Party grassroots speaking its mind, and the Party officials responding to the call. This action represents the successful culmination of PDA’s one-month, eleven-city barnstorming tour across California ?aimed at putting impeachment and ending the occupation of Iraq at the top of the Party’s agenda.

Thanks to all your help and support - we really are making a difference!

In Solidarity,
Tim Carpenter

A State Department report on terrorism due out next week will show a nearly 30 percent increase in terrorist attacks worldwide in 2006 to more than 14,000, almost all of the boost due to growing violence in Iraq and Afghanistan, US officials said Friday.

Arriving as president of the World Bank in the summer of 2005, Paul D. Wolfowitz told colleagues that he was eager to tackle poverty in Africa and corruption in aid. But almost immediately he became consumed by frustrating negotiations with bank officials over the status of his companion, an employee at the bank, documents released this month show.

In a troubling sign for the American-financed rebuilding program in Iraq, inspectors for a federal oversight agency have found that in a sampling of eight projects that the United States had declared successes, seven were no longer operating as designed because of plumbing and electrical failures, lack of proper maintenance, apparent looting and expensive equipment that lay idle.

US Didn't Accept Most Foreign Katrina Aid

Allies offered the United States $854 million in cash and in oil that was to be sold for cash to aid Hurricane Katrina victims. But only $40 million has been used so far for disaster victims or reconstruction, according to US officials and contractors. Most of the aid went uncollected, including $400 million worth of oil. Some offers were withdrawn or redirected to private groups such as the Red Cross. The rest has been delayed by red tape and bureaucratic limits on how it can be spent.
