Kennzeichen-Scanning in vielen Bundesländern soll verfassungswidrig sein

Die Art der Erfassung von Kfz-Kennzeichen durch das sogenannte Videoscanning ist einem Gutachten zufolge in fast allen Bundesländern, die dieses Verfahren anwenden, verfassungswidrig. Nach dem am 29. Januar in Berlin vorgestellte Gutachten des Kasseler Rechtsprofessors Alexander Roßnagel halten sich die Bundesländer nicht an die grundrechtlichen Vorgaben. De ADAC hat das Gutachten in Auftrag gegeben.

EU-Kommissar Frattini und Schäuble wollen Erhebung von Fluggastdaten

In der Sicherheitspolitik bahnt sich neuer Streit zwischen Bundesjustizministerin Brigitte Zypries (SPD) und Bundesinnenminister Wolfgang Schäuble (CDU) an. Anlass ist das von EU-Innenkommissar Franco Frattini geplante europäische System zur Erhebung und Auswertung von Fluggastdaten. Während Zypries am 29. Januar diese Pläne als Schritt in Richtung "Präventionsstaat" zurückwies, verteidigte Schäuble das Vorhaben als ein zusätzliches Sicherheitsinstrument. Frattini behauptet, ein Missbrauch der persönlichen Daten solle ausgeschlossen sein. Nach den Vorstellungen der EU sollen künftig 19 Passagierdaten von allen Fluggesellschaften erhoben und für die Auswertung nationaler Sicherheitsbehörden zur Verfügung stehen. Ferner ist eine Speicherung dieser umfassenden Datensätze für 13 Jahre vorgesehen. Zudem soll eine präventive Risikoanalyse der jeweiligen Passagiere erstellt werden können.

36-Millionen-Euro-Projekt: Big Brother fliegt mit

„Unbemerkt von der Öffentlichkeit entwickeln 31 europäische Unternehmen mit EU-Hilfe ein System, das Flug-Passagiere lückenlos überwacht - Kameras und Mikrofone an Bord. Der Herr auf Platz 11 F schaut sich immer wieder hektisch in der Kabine um; er beobachtet das Flugpersonal, kramt in seiner Tasche, steht auf und geht zur Toilette. Doch selbst auf dem stillen Örtchen ist der Mann nicht allein. Kameras an der Decke richten sich auf ihn, sie filmen sein Gesicht, jede seiner Bewegungen, jeden Schritt. Mikrofone zeichnen jedes Geräusch auf. Der Herr auf Platz 11 F gilt längst als verdächtig, ein elektronisches System hat seine Mimik und seine Bewegungen interpretiert und ihn als Störenfried ausgemacht. Auf dem Bildschirm erscheint die Alarmstufe 1. Die mitfliegenden Sky Marshals sind gewarnt, sie behalten den Mann im Auge. Auch das Flugpersonal und die Piloten wissen Bescheid…“ Artikel von Katrin Teschner in DerWesten vom 22.02.2008 http://www.derwesten.de/nachrichten/2008/2/22/news-25475342/detail.html


Bundesrat: Reden und Entschließung zur Fluggastdatensammlung

„Am 12. Februar startete der Arbeitskreis Vorratsdatenspeicherung eine Kampagne zum Stopp der drohenden Überwachung von Flugreisenden. Die Debatte und Entscheidung des Bundesrats zeigt, dass die Kampagne ein Teilerfolg war. Positiv ist, dass die Forderung des Innenausschusses abgelehnt worden ist, die Fluggastdaten unglaubliche zehn Jahre lang zu speichern. Negativ ist, dass der Bundesrat das Vorhaben nicht klar ablehnt, sondern nur die "Änderung" des Entwurfs fordert…“ Zwei zu Protokoll gegebene Reden und die Entschließung des Bundesrats, dokumentiert beim Arbeitskreis Vorratsdatenspeicherung http://www.vorratsdatenspeicherung.de/content/view/199/55/lang,de/

Fifth Circuit to Weigh Jurisdiction Over Contractors in Iraq

Daphne Eviatar, reporting for The American Lawyer, writes: "Increasingly, private contractors who aren't trained to work in battlegrounds are paying the price. But whether their employers will ultimately be held accountable for their own actions will depend on the circumstances, on their lawyers, and in some cases, on the judge."

CIA Largely in the Dark on Interrogation Tactics

Spencer Ackerman writes for The Washington Independent: "Surprising as it may be, the CIA has never really been in the interrogation business. After 9/11, it turned its back on its own limited history of interrogations and never consulted those in the US with solid experience in that difficult art. Even in the seven years since it has built an interrogation capability mostly from scratch, the agency has never applied the best practices in behavioral science to improve its regimen. The result has been to privilege brutality out of ignorance, which, according to many experts and insiders interviewed, means that interrogation practices that produce faulty information are now at the very heart of the US efforts against a mysterious and still-unfamiliar enemy."

Mit der jetzt von vielen Seiten geforderten »Belohnung« privater Vorsorge auch noch in der Leistungsphase würde nicht nur die solidarische Rentenversicherung weiter geschwächt – auch das Ziel einer das sozio-kulturelle Existenzminimum garantierenden Fürsorge würde auf dem Privatisierungsaltar geopfert…“ Dokumentation von Johannes Steffen vom 28.

Prozesskostenhilfe ade?

„Als „in erschütternder Weise verfassungswidrig“ charakterisiert die Neue Richtervereinigung den Gesetzesentwurf zur Begrenzung der Prozesskostenhilfe, der nach der Sommerpause vom Deutschen Bundestag verabschiedet werden soll. Mit der Absicht, die Ausgaben für das früher so genannte Armenrecht massiv zu reduzieren, verletze der Entwurf Grundgesetzartikel, wonach jedem Bürger effektiver Rechtsschutz zu gewähren sei. Auch die Gewerkschaft Ver.di protestiert und sammelt Unterschriften dagegen. Sie vermutet, das „Kostendämpfungsgesetz“ richte sich besonders gegen Hartz-IV-Empfänger, die gegen ihre Bescheide klagen und dafür Prozesskostenhilfe benötigen. Für Betroffene geht es buchstäblich ums Ganze.

„Wer sucht, der findet, sagt der Volksmund. Wer nichts mehr findet, der sucht auch nichts mehr, ist der neueste arbeitsmarktpolitische Salto der Koalition.

Lebensjahr, die seit einem Jahr kein Jobangebot mehr erhalten haben, künftig automatisch aus der Arbeitslosenstatistik gestrichen werden. Aus einer Option, die ältere Langzeitarbeitslose bisher schon freiwillig wahrnehmen konnten, würde damit der Regelfall.

Nokia in Bochum, Continental in Mexiko: Betriebsschließungen aus Profitgründen sind keine Domäne ausländischer »Heuschrecken« Artikel von Stephan Krull, zuerst erschienen in der jungen Welt vom 29.01.2008 http://www.labournet.de/branchen/chemie/conti/krull.html

Aus dem Text: „…Vielen ist bange um den »Standort Deutschland«, andere sorgen sich um die Qualität der »deutschen Facharbeit«, wieder andere mahnen vor Kriminalität und Unsicherheit in Rumänien und empören sich über das unpatriotische Verhalten »der Finnen«. (…) Was hier Nokia, ist den Mexikanern schon lange Continental – der Plattmacher von Fabriken und Arbeitsplätzen. (…) Schon die Hannoveraner hätten von ihren Kollegen in Mexiko lernen können; wenn bei Nokia in Bochum diese Lehren nicht umgesetzt werden, ist jeder Protest hohl. Der Conti-Betrieb Euzkadi bei Guadalajara wurde von der Belegschaft besetzt, als Konzernchef Werner Wennemer die Schließung angedroht hatte. Die Belegschaft verhinderte, daß Material und Maschinen weggeschafft wurden. Arbeitsgerichtliche Verfahren wurden angestrengt und in Mexiko und Deutschland politisch mobilisiert – nicht zuletzt auf den Aktionärsversammlungen des Konzerns. Mehr als drei Jahre dauerte der Kampf der Belegschaft, und am Ende haben sie gewonnen. Es gibt jetzt am Standort Guadalajara eine Genossenschaft mit über 600 Beschäftigten, die gute Reifen produzieren und die sich in das politische und soziale Leben Mexikos einmischt…“

The End of American Liberty

CounterPunch
by Paul Craig Roberts

01/28/08

Thanks to a government that has turned its back on the US Constitution, Americans now have an unaccountable Department of Homeland Security that is already asserting tyrannical powers over US citizens and state governments. Headed by the neocon fanatic Michael Chertoff, the Orwellian-sounding Department of Homeland Security has mandated a national identity card for Americans, without which Americans may not enter airports or courthouses.There is no more need for this card than there is for a Department of Homeland Security. Neither are compatible with a free society …. Bush can do whatever he wants, because Congress has taken its only remaining power–impeachment–off the table. …. The Democrats are not adverse to inheriting the powers in Bush’s precedents. The Democrats, of course, will use the elevated powers for good rather than for evil. Instead of having a bad dictator, we’ll have a good one...

What pledge? Clinton appears in Florida

The Nation
by John Nichols

01/28/08

Hillary Clinton has decided to rewrite the rules of the race for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination. Like other candidates, she pledged not to campaign in Florida after the state jumped ahead on the schedule of caucuses and primaries set by the Democratic National Committee. She had to make that pledge if she hoped to compete in the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses and the first-in-the-nation New Hampshire primary, as Iowa and New Hampshire zealously guard their starting status on the political calendar. But Iowa and New Hampshire are history and, after a landslide loss in South Carolina on Saturday, Clinton needs a win. So she has begun appearing in Florida in anticipation of Tuesday’s Democratic primary there...

Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act is scary stuff

Tennessean
by David Clark

01/28/08

There is a new anti-terrorism bill in Congress, and this one could take our nation to a place it has never been before. The Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 passed in the House in October. It contains enough vague and general language to threaten the freedom of every U.S. citizen, yet it was approved, 404-6. The lopsided vote reminded me of two other resolutions that were adopted with overwhelming support. The combined vote on the Tonkin Gulf Resolution that started the Vietnam War was 502-2. The vote to kick the Iraq war in gear was a more contemplative, but still one-sided, 374-156. Most of the complaints about Congress lately have centered on the divisiveness and failure to compromise on most issues. I think near-total agreement should throw up a red flag, too...

Bill Clinton’s temper negatively affects Hillary’s campaign

Fox News

01/25/08

Unfortunately, I’ve seen it all before. That picture of the seething, red-faced former president of the United States shaking his finger at members of the press who dare to question his wife’s slimy campaign tactics, is all too familiar to those who have worked closely with him in the past. Like Janus, the two-faced Roman god, there are always been two distinct personalities in Bill Clinton. That charming, smiling gentleman seen in public is too often eclipsed in private by his negative twin evidenced in the eruption of a furious, unexpected, and uncontrollable rage, often accompanied by loud cursing and occasionally, even physical violence. It’s not a pretty picture. I’ve been at the other end of that anger too many times and I was always amazed at the suddenness and intensity of his fury...

On the day a new president is inaugurated, the outgoing president traditionally keeps a low profile, slipping away quietly after the swearing-in and leaving the spotlight to his successor. Not Bill Clinton. His first order of post-presidential business on Jan. 20, 2001, was a 90-minute rally at Andrews Air Force Base, complete with honor guard and a 21-gun salute. ‘I left the White House, but I’m still here!’ Clinton told the crowd. ‘We’re not going anywhere!’ Like most Americans, I was ready for the tawdry psychodrama that was the Clinton administration to be over. But something told me he wasn’t being rhetorical...

Waving Goodbye to Hegemony

By Parag Khanna, New America Foundation

Parag Khanna of the New America Foundation argues in the New York Times that the choices the Bush has made have profoundly weakened U.S. power in the world. Indeed, he suggests that Bush set the U.S. on a downward spiral, such that Europe, China and India are picking up the pieces and making Washington irrelevant.

The Beginning of the End

William Rivers Pitt, writing for Truthout, says: "If Bush's lips are moving, it means he must be lying; so it has been for all those days, and so it was again on Monday evening. Some 75 percent of the citizenry believe this country to be 'on the wrong track,' and since the gomer giving the speech last night is seen as being largely responsible for putting us all on this 'wrong track' to begin with, a vast American majority pretty much didn't give a fig about what he had to say. All that most people cared about was the historic significance of the night itself. It was The Last Bush SOTU Speech Ever."

Bush’s latest Exec Order: No earmarks?

Fox News

01/29/08

President Bush was set to act Tuesday on his State of the Union promise to sign an executive order directing federal agencies to ignore any future earmarks not voted on by Congress. Bush warned lawmakers he would flourish his veto pen if Congress does not rein in the number of congressional earmarks — money set aside for pet projects — that make it into law without a vote. As many as 95 percent of earmarks are inserted after Congress has voted on appropriations measures, and the pork is never seen by most lawmakers. Bush called on Congress during last year’s State of the Union to cut the number of earmarks in half, but Monday night he chided lawmakers for failing to do so...

State of the Union Address: Another lost opportunity to show true leadership

Hawaii Reporter
by U.S. Sen. Daniel Akaka

01/28/08

It is unfortunate that President Bush has once again fallen short in his responsibility to lead this great nation of ours into a future of prosperity for all – one that continues our leadership in researching and developing alternative energy, preserving our natural resources, and ensuring access to affordable health care and education. Once again, the President’s speech was full of misinformation...
