Bush Loads Up on Lawyers as Scandals Consume White House

Bush is moving quickly to fill vacancies within his stable of lawyers, though White House officials say there are no plans to drastically expand the legal staff to deal with a flood of oversight. "No, at this point, no," Tony Snow, the White House spokesman, said recently.

Old Problems Plague New Security Plan for Iraq

Three months after additional US troops began pouring into Baghdad in the most recent effort to stanch violence in Iraq's capital, military observers are fretting that the same problems that torpedoed last summer's Baghdad security plan are cropping up again.

"The latest news-as-entertainment spectacular is the Paris Hilton criminal justice fiasco. She's in! She's out! She's — whatever. Far more disturbing (and much less entertaining) is the way school officials and the criminal justice system are criminalizing children and teenagers all over the country, arresting them and throwing them in jail for behavior that in years past would never have led to the intervention of law enforcement," says Bob Herbert.

Iraq's Workers Strike to Keep Their Oil

"The Bush administration has no love for unions anywhere, but in Iraq it has a special reason for hating them. They are the main opposition to the occupation's economic agenda, and the biggest obstacle to that agenda's centerpiece - the privatization of Iraq's oil," says David Bacon. "This week, Iraqi anger over starvation incomes and oil ripoffs boiled over."

Victory near in phone mast fight

DOMINIC CHESSUM

09 June 2007 11:53

Furious families fighting to stop a mobile phone mast being put up outside their homes are on the verge of victory after council officers said they thought the scheme should be turned down.

A 428-signature petition and 60 letters of objection were submitted to the council following a public outcry from people living in Eaton Street when the application was submitted by phone operator O2 earlier this year.

The telecoms giant said the 17.5m mast was needed after it was told to remove its mast in nearby Newmarket Road by the city council.

But the proposal, which will go before councillors on Tuesday, has been recommended for refusal by the council officers, who advise councillors in their decision making.

Officers say permission should be refused because its height, design and colour would be obtrusive in the Eaton Conservation area and would go against the city's local plan.

Those who have been fighting the proposal welcomed the news, but said it did not necessarily mean the battle was over.

Malcolm Fuller runs the post office in Eaton Street and had the petition in his shop.

He said: “I am surprised and pleased that it could be rejected but they could appeal. The one on South Park Avenue was rejected by the city council but then they got it through on appeal. We will have to wait and see what happens.”

The Evening News' Put Masts On Hold campaign calls for no more masts to be placed near homes or schools until it is proved they are safe.

Jane Rolph, who lives in Eaton, said: “We understand the need for technology and are asking for masts to be placed in a safe zone 500 metres away from populous areas.

“We already have two masts within a hundred metres of the proposed site. We have a choice to smoke or drink, yet in today's health and safety conscious world, how can we have this health risk imposed upon us? It is unforgivable that health risks are not being taken into consideration with phone mast sitings.”

Jim Stevenson, a spokesman for O2, said: “We are surprised they are recommending rejection, simply because we have been talking to the planners for quite a while.”

TELL CONGRESS TO VOTE NO CONFIDENCE ON ALBERTO GONZALES

Schumer: Gonzales No-Confidence Vote Monday

Sen. Charles Schumer, who has led the investigation into the firing of several US attorneys, announced Friday that a vote of no confidence in Attorney General Alberto Gonzales will be taken in the Senate Monday.

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/060807S.shtml

--------

TELL CONGRESS TO VOTE NO CONFIDENCE ON ALBERTO GONZALES

On Monday, June 11, there is scheduled to be a no confidence vote on Alberto Gonzales in the Senate. This vote will tell us as much as any other who deserves to remain in the Senate, and who must be removed themselves.

You can call toll free at 800-828-0498, 800-459-1887 or 800-614-2803 and ask for your own Senators.

ACTION PAGE: http://www.millionphonemarch.com/no_confidence.php

All our senators need to hear from us on this, but especially we have a message your Republican senators need to hear. How dare they call this vote playing politics? Talk about turning justice on its head. The whole reason Congress must now step in is to STOP the justice department from playing politics.

What WAS politically motivated was when Gonzales turned our justice department into a hit squad for the RNC. If they keep voting in lock step to protect the criminals in the White House, watch what happens next election. Then they'll see some REAL playing politics, only we the people will be playing.

In explosive testimony before the Senate before the break, the former number two official in the Justice apartment, James B. Comey, testified that Alberto Gonzales tried to bully a deathly sick John D. Ashcroft into signing off on a secret and massive domestic wiretap scheme which had already been determined to be profoundly illegal.

And if that were not bad enough, Gonzales had previously testified UNDER OATH, that there had been no disagreements in the department about implementation of the program. So he just bald-faced lied and perjured himself again, and again, and again. And he's still doing it.

The situation is so bad that 56 members of Alberto's Harvard Law school class took out an ad also in the Post excoriating him for his outlaw abuse of power. The Harvard Crimson further reports that there was NO dissent whatsoever in this from members of that class, even among those who for professional reasons could not sign on publicly.

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.

Gezielte Faustschläge: Anwaltlicher Notdienst kritisiert Polizeieinsatz bei G8-Gipfel

Der Anwaltliche Notdienst hat das Vorgehen der Polizei gegen Demonstranten während des G8-Gipfels in Heiligendamm in scharfer Form kritisiert. Die Beamten seien während der Demonstrationen "in völlig unbeteiligte Personengruppen wüst hineingegangen", sagte der Rechtsanwalt Ulrich von Klinggräff am 12. Juni in Berlin. Polizisten hätten friedliche Demonstranten mit gezielten Faustschlägen attackiert. Die von der "G8-Sonderpolizeibehörde Kavala" angekündigte deeskalierende Strategie sei zu keinem Zeitpunkt erkennbar gewesen.

G8-PROTESTE IM RÜCKBLICK

** Attac bewertet die G8-Proteste rückblickend als großen Erfolg für die globalisierungskritische Bewegung. "Diese Woche in Rostock und Heiligendamm hat vieles in der politischen Landschaft verändert. Wir haben die größte globalisierungskritische Massenmobilisierung erlebt, die es in Deutschland je gegeben hat", sagte Werner Rätz vom Attac-Koordinierungskreis. "Mit dieser breiten Bewegung wird künftig zu rechnen sein." Außerdem habe der Gipfel erneut gezeigt, dass die G8 keinerlei Lösungen für die Probleme der Welt anzubieten haben. "Die Legitimationskrise der G8 ist offenkundig geworden", sagt Pedram Shahyar, ebenfalls Mitglied des Attac-Koordinierungskreises. "Die G8 sind überflüssig. Heiligendamm wird ein dicker Sargnagel in der Geschichte ihrer Beerdigung gewesen sein." Die vollständige Pressemitteilung findet sich im Netz unter http://www.attac.de/aktuell/presse/presse_ausgabe.php?id=740 .

** Am 2. Juni protestierten rund 80.000 Menschen gewaltfrei und fantasievoll gegen die Politik der G8. Der Redebeitrag, den Werner Rätz vom Attac-Koordinierungskreis bei der Abschlusskundgebung hielt, kann nachgelesen werden unter http://www.attac.de/aktuell/neuigkeiten/rede-raetz.php . Im Anschluss an die Demonstration kam es zu gewaltsamen Auseinandersetzungen am Rostocker Stadthafen. Attac distanzierte sich in aller Deutlichkeit von den Ausschreitungen. Die entsprechende Pressemitteilung findet sich unter http://www.attac.de/aktuell/presse/presse_ausgabe.php?id=728 .

** Zwei Tage später rettet Attac die Welt - wenn auch nur symbolisch - aus den Fängen der G8. Eine Beschreibung mit Link zu Bildern der tollen Aktion finden sich im Attac-G8-Blog unter https://www.attac.de/blog/wp/?p=63 , ein schönes Nachrichtenvideo unter http://de.bluewin.ch/news/index.php/videos/newsvideos/504087/0/1/0/A

** Über 10.000 DemonstrantInnen erreichen am 6. Juni friedlich Blockadeorte auf den Zufahrten nach Heiligendamm. Viele Attac-Aktive haben sich den Blockaden von "Block G8" angeschlossen. Sven Giegold, Mitglied des Attac Koordinierungskreises und in einer Blockade vor Ort:""Diese Aktion ist ein grosser Erfolg! Wir haben schon jetzt ein Zeichen gesetzt gegen den G8-Gipfel, der dort hinter dem Stacheldraht beginnt. Wir konnten zeigen, dass 10.000 Menschen entschlossen, aber ohne jede Gewaltanwendung an der Polizei vorbei kommen und ein Blockadeziel erreichen koennen." Obwohl es zu keiner Provokation und keiner Gewalt der Teilnehmer kam, setzte die Polizei gegen Mittag Schlagstoecke und Wasserwerfer ein. Sven Giegold dazu: "Ich bin erschuettert. Noch gestern im Vorgespraech sicherte die Polizei faires Verhalten zu, wenn keine Gewalt von den Demonstranten ausgehe. Jetzt bin ich hier Augenzeuge, wie die Polizei Wasserwerfer und vereinzelt Schlagstoecke bei Neu Rethwisch gegen friedliche Demonstranten einsetzt. Von einer Verhaeltnismaessigkeit der Mittel kann hier keine Rede sein". Bilder der Blockaden gibt es hier: https://www.attac.de/heiligendamm07/pages/fotos_blockade.php

** Auch auf dem Alternativgipfel konnte Attac wichtige Akzente setzen. Im Attac-Forum "Wem gehört die Welt?" drehten sich drei Runden um die Eigentumsfrage: 1. Warum die Welt eigentlich allen gehört, 2. Reale Besitz- und Verteilungsverhältnisse in der globalisierten Welt, und 3. Wir wollen die Eigentumsfrage neu Stellen. Ein Kurzbericht vom Forum findet sich hier: http://www.attac.de/aktuell/neuigkeiten/attac-forum2.php.

** Den G8-Gipfel selbst beurteilte Attac als inhaltlich und politisch völlig substanzlos. "Wie nie zuvor in der Gipfelgeschichte ist deutlich geworden, dass die G8 ein Auslaufmodell ist", sagte Peter Wahl vom Attac-Koordinierungskreis. "Es dürfte keinen Gipfel gegeben haben, der inhaltlich und politisch so substanzlos war wie Heiligendamm." "Wenn Bundeskanzlerin Angela Merkel sich feiern lässt als Retterin des Klimas, so ist das lediglich ein durchsichtiger Versuch von Politmarketing", sagte Chris Methmann, ebenfalls Mitglied des Attac-Koordinierungskreises. Unter http://www.attac.de/aktuell/presse/presse_ausgabe.php?id=741 steht die vollständige Pressemitteilung zum Gipfelabschluss im Netz.

** Auch auf dem mit zeitlicher Überschneidung zum Gipfel stattfindenden Evangelischen Kirchentag in Köln waren Attac-Aktive präsent. Sie schafften es nicht nur, innerhalb kürzester Zeit eine Demonstration gegen die G8 mit zu organisieren, an der viele hundert Menschen teilnahmen, sondern überraschten Angela Merkel auch bei ihrer ersten offiziellen Rede nach dem Gipfel damit, dass sie eine deutlich veränderte Version des "Danke"-Liedes anstimmten. Einen Bericht der Aktion mit dem Text des Liedes unter http://www.attac.de/aktuell/neuigkeiten/danke-angie.php .
