"As imagined these last months, withdrawal turns out to be a very partial affair that will leave sizeable numbers of American occupation forces in Iraq for a long period. If anything, the latest versions of 'withdrawal' have been used as cudgels to beat upon real withdrawal types," writes Tom Engelhardt for TomDispatch.com.

"In the Iraq war, citizenship is being used as a recruiting tool aimed specifically at young immigrants, who are told that by enlisting, they will be able to quickly get citizenship for themselves (sometimes true, depending on what the Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) branch of the Department of Homeland Security finds) and their entire families (not true; each family member has to go through a separate application process). Nevertheless, with the political pressures on Latino families growing daily under this administration, many young Latinos are unable to resist the offer, which immigrants' rights activists see as blatant exploitation of a vulnerable population," reports Deborah Davis for In These Times.

"In theory, President Bush is sworn to faithfully execute the laws of the United States. In reality, he has treated federal law as a menu from which he picks and chooses those laws he likes, while ignoring those that do not suit his taste," writes Jay Bookman for the editorial board of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

"We're hard upon the dog days of August," writes Joseph L. Galloway of McClatchy Newspapers. "Members of the US Congress and the Iraqi parliament will soon slither away to the shade of cooler rocks, and President Bush will no doubt head off to Crawford to take his frustrations out on some brush with a chainsaw. Meanwhile, in Iraq, the 60,000 American combat troops who daily patrol the most dangerous streets and roads in the world will carry on fighting, dying and bleeding in the broiling sun where temperatures nudge the 130-degree mark and 40 pounds of body armor and Kevlar helmet plus weapon and ammunition weigh more with every step an Infantryman takes."

The American Prospect
by Scott Lemieux

In a commencement speech he gave at Georgetown Law School last year, the newly confirmed Chief Justice John Roberts asserted that one of his primary goals was to create more unanimity on the Supreme Court. … After a truncated first term in which there were more unanimous opinions than usual, this seemed very possible to some observers of the Court. … For these scholars, the second Roberts term must have been highly sobering. Not only did the new appointments, Roberts and Alito, turn out to be the doctrinaire conservatives everything about their records (as opposed to the vague banalities of their confirmation hearing rhetoric) suggested they would be, a far higher than usual number of cases were decided by a 5-4 margin...

According to the neocon party line, if you don’t support the war, the ’surge,’ and Our Glorious Leader, then you don’t support the troops — and yet, when one of these heroes writes a true account of what it’s like out in the field, the devotees of their cult on the home front are suddenly contemptuous of ‘the troops’ — or, at least, this particular soldier, who is now being demonized as little short of a traitor — if not a Stephen Glass-in-fatigues — by all right-thinking neocon clones.

Ever since the terror attacks of September 11, 2001, the terrorist threat to the West and to Americans in particular has been the subject of contentious debate. Is there a grave and urgent danger, or is it vastly exaggerated by the media and by politicians out to take advantage of popular fears? Does the real danger, as many civil libertarians argue, lie in the temptation to restrict liberties in response to this threat? Do we, in other words, have nothing to fear but fear itself?

Die nicht abreißen wollende Diskussion über die Nutzung der Atomenergie und die Laufzeiten der deutschen Atomkraftwerke scheint dem Parlamentarischen Staatssekretär im Bundesumweltministerium, Michael Müller, auf die Nerven zu gehen. Der Politiker erregt sich auch über seines Erachtens "einige besonders merkwürdige Kommentare" in Medien. Dabei lägen "rund 35 Jahre intensiver Debatte über die Nutzung der nuklearen Stromerzeugung hinter uns", so Müller und beklagt eine "ideologische Vergesslichkeit" bezüglich der jahrzehntelang ausgetauschten Argumente. Vor diesem Hintergrund scheint der Staatssekretär das Bedürfnis verspürt zu haben, die nach seiner Auffassung wesentlichen Argumente gegen die Atomenergie noch einmal aufzuzählen.
