Patrick O'Connor and John Bresnahan, writing for The Politico, report, "Top House Republicans were told in recent days that a former employee of their campaign committee may have forged an official audit during the contentious 2006 election cycle and that they should brace for the possibility that an unfolding investigation could uncover financial improprieties stretching back several years, according to GOP sources briefed on the members-only discussions."

And, Patrick Cockburn, writing for The Independent UK, reports from Baghdad: "The Shia family got the worst of the fighting and, after suffering seven dead, sent a desperate message asking for help to the Mehdi Army, the powerful Shia militia of the Shia cleric Muqtada al-Sadr that once would have rushed to defend them. On this occasion, however, the local Mehdi Army commander turned them down, saying: 'We can do nothing because we are under orders not to break the ceasefire.'"

By Carolyn Robertson

Residents opposed to a mobile phone mast in the middle of their neighbourhood are calling for support to launch a campaign against it.

They were enraged when members of Mid Sussex District Council's central area planning committee gave approval for a mast to be put next to the railway embankment and bridge in Balcombe Road, Haywards Heath.

The 10-metre telegraph-style mast with an equipment cabinet at its base will be operated by Orange PCS Ltd. The equipment will replace an existing site at Central Sussex College, on a building that is due to be demolished.

Councillors received 20 letters and two petitions signed by 22 people objecting to the mast because of health fears as well as visual impact and affect on property prices.

The American Spectator
by Jim Harper

02/07/08

With so many states on record opposing REAL ID, the feds have been shifting through numerous stories trying to justify their national ID. First, they said it was a national security tool. But by now everyone realizes how easy it would be for criminal organizations and terrorists to avoid or defeat a national ID system. Then REAL ID became a way to control illegal immigration. But it has the same defects here too. Illegal immigrants will use a mix of forgery, fraud, and corruption at any motor vehicles bureau in the country to get around REAL ID. Driving illegal immigrants further into criminality deepens the problem rather than fixing it. And should law-abiding American citizens really have to carry a national ID to get at illegal immigrants? Just who is the criminal here? Next, we were told that having a national ID was about identity fraud. But putting our personal information, Social Security Numbers, and basic identity documents like birth certificates into a nationwide string of government databases is a recipe for more identity theft, not less...

[I]f the mortgage meltdown continues, we could see many bank and business failures … hundreds of thousands of families out on the streets … and a major recession in 2008. In the wake of all of this calamitous news, it isn’t surprising that the government has taken action. Specifically, President Bush has called for a ‘voluntary’ 5-year freeze on low introductory mortgage rates for families now making payments but unable to afford higher rates. Only primary home owners would qualify, and they must have a perfect record of home payments. Once such a measure is introduced, it would likely expand. Indeed, others are already proposing a permanent, mandatory freeze in rates. While the desire to ‘do something,’ about the mortgage crisis is natural, a mortgage rate freeze is unlikely to do more than prolong the grief and could well turn what would have been a short recession into a protracted depression...

The fate of $600-$1,200 rebate checks for more than 100 million Americans is in limbo after Senate Republicans blocked a bid by Democrats to add $44 billion in help for the elderly, disabled veterans, the unemployed and businesses to the House-passed economic aid package. GOP senators banded together Wednesday to thwart the $205 billion plan, leaving Democrats with a difficult choice either to quickly accept a House bill they have said is inadequate or risk being blamed for delaying a measure designed as a swift shot in the arm for the lagging economy...

US President George Bush might consider authorising the controversial interrogation method of waterboarding in future, the White House has said. Belief that an attack was imminent and legal advice would be major factors in the decision, his spokesman said. On Tuesday the CIA admitted for the first time that it had used the method, which simulates drowning and has been condemned as torture by rights groups. … White House spokesman Tony Fratto maintained that the practice — which the CIA said it had carried out on three high-profile al-Qaeda detainees — was legal...

The cable-cutter mystery

AntiWar.Com
by Justin Raimondo

02/08/08

I was skeptical, at first, of speculation over the cutting of two cables linking the Middle East with the Internet, which had it as part of some Vast Neocon Conspiracy to isolate the region prior to a US military assault. However, when two more cables — this time, in the Persian Gulf — were mysteriously cut, I began to wonder …. In a piece headlined ‘Cable cutter nutters chase conspiracy theories,’ The Register goes out of its way to laugh off the prospect that what we are witnessing is a military operation, or the prelude to one, sniffing ‘there’s little more than suspicions to work with’ since we’ve yet to reach the damaged cables. Yet, given the sort of government we are dealing with — a regime that lied us into one war, and is not-so-subtly trying to finagle us into yet another one — why shouldn’t we be suspicious? We’d have to be crazy not to be...
