Former Guantanamo Prosecutor Says Trials Tainted

Reuters reports "the former chief prosecutor for the Guantanamo war crimes tribunals testified on Monday that the tribunals were tainted by political influence and evidence obtained through prisoner abuse. Air Force Col. Moe Davis, who quit the war court last year, said political appointees and higher-ranking officers pushed prosecutors to file charges before trial rules were even written."

KWS Saat AG ließ Gen-Rüben unter Polizeischutz aussähen

Unter dem Schutz von rund 70 Polizisten haben mehrere Hundert Mitarbeiter des Saatgutkonzerns KWS Saat AG am 29. April auf einem seit zweieinhalb Wochen besetzten Versuchsfeld in der Nähe des niedersächsischen Northeim gentechnisch veränderte Rüben ausgesät. Die Besetzer seien aufgefordert worden, das Feld zu verlassen, sagte KWS-Vorstandssprecher Philip von dem Bussche. Das Saatgut sei im Labor gegen das Pflanzenschutzmittel Roundup des US-Chemie- und Saatgutkonzerns Monsanto resistent gemacht worden, so Bussche. Die zuständigen Behörden hatten den Freilandversuch trotz Protesten und Einsprüchen aus der Bevölkerung genehmigt.

Cheney Lawyer Claims Congress Has No Authority Over Vice President

Elana Schor, of The Guardian UK, writes: "The lawyer for US vice-president Dick Cheney claimed today that the Congress lacks any authority to examine his behaviour on the job. The exception claimed by Cheney's counsel came in response to requests from congressional Democrats that David Addington, the vice-president's chief of staff, testify about his involvement in the approval of interrogation tactics used at Guantanamo Bay."

Bush Made Permanent

Paul Krugman, of The New York Times, writes: "if truth be told, the McCain tax plan doesn't seem to embody any coherent policy agenda. Instead, it looks like a giant exercise in pandering - an attempt to mollify the GOP's right wing, and never mind if it makes any sense. The impression that Mr. McCain's tax talk is all about pandering is reinforced by his proposal for a summer gas tax holiday - a measure that would, in fact, do little to help consumers, although it would boost oil industry profits."

Bomb Bomb Iran by Summer's End?

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/042908J.shtml

Steve Weissman writes for Truthout: "when Senator John McCain serenaded reporters last April with his 'Bomb Bomb Iran,' I had to wonder. Was this a taste of his aging flyboy humor? Or was he telling us what to expect should he ever become president? We may never find out. If Vice President Dick Cheney has his way, he will beat McCain to the punch, possibly as soon as late May, after President George W. Bush returns from celebrating the 60th anniversary of Israel's creation."

Excerpt:

On February 25 of this year, Cheney made a surprise visit to the Sultanate of Oman, a longtime military ally just across the Strait of Hormuz from Iran. He had come, an Omani official told The Associated Press, "to discuss regional security issues, including the US standoff with Iran over its nuclear program."

A little over three weeks later, Cheney returned to Oman as part of a ten-day visit to several countries in the region, including Israel, Turkey and Saudi Arabia. While in Oman, he gave an interview to Martha Raddatz of ABC News. "Can you foresee any point where military action would be taken?" Raddatz asked. Cheney tried to downplay the question, but Raddatz persisted, asking specifically about the National Intelligence Estimate (NIE), which concluded that Iran had shut down its nuclear arms program five years ago.

Cheney read the NIE differently. The Iranians definitely had a program to develop a nuclear warhead, which they apparently stopped in 2003, he insisted. "We don't know whether or not they've restarted." Cheney emphasized that the Iranians were continuing with their uranium enrichment, which - he said - would give them the fissile material to make nuclear weapons. He offered no evidence that the Iranian program would or could produce the highly enriched uranium they would need to make a bomb.

"VP: Iran May Have Resumed Weapon Program," the headlines ran. "Cheney: Iran might be next US target." The Israeli web site DEBKA added that Cheney was specifically talking about possible US military action in the region to shut down Iran's nuclear program.

The militarist

The American Prospect
by Matthew Yglesias

04/28/08

The collapse of the George W. Bush-era Republican Party is a multifaceted story, but no chapter stands out as clearly as the war in Iraq. As the occupation has dragged on and the U.S. casualties have mounted, Bush has watched his public approval ratings spiral downward. By the time the contested GOP primaries came around, even a healthy proportion of Republican voters were saying that they strongly or somewhat disapproved of the war in Iraq. Under the circumstances, it’s not surprising that the GOP is poised to nominate a presidential candidate who will appeal to its anti-war base. What is surprising is that the candidate is Sen. John McCain...

McCain vs. McCain

Fareed Zakaria writes for Newsweek: "Amid the din of the dueling democrats, people seem to have forgotten about that other guy in the presidential race-you know, John McCain. McCain is said to be benefiting from this politically because his rivals are tearing each other apart. In fact, few people are paying much attention to what the Republican nominee is saying, or subjecting it to any serious scrutiny."

Supreme Court backs GOP’s play to nix black, poor voters

The Supreme Court opened the door Monday to state laws that require voters to show a photo identification before casting a ballot on Election Day. The 6-3 ruling to uphold Indiana’s voter-ID law is a clear victory for Republicans, who have pushed for such laws to combat election fraud, and comes over the objections of Democrats, who say the requirements make it too difficult for some people to vote...

The Court Fumbles on Voting Rights

In a Tuesday editorial, The New York Times writes: "Democracy was the big loser in the Supreme Court on Monday. The court upheld Indiana's voter identification law, which solves a nearly nonexistent problem by putting major barriers between voters - particularly minorities - and the ballot box. Worse, the court set out a standard that clears the way for other states to adopt rules that discourage disadvantaged groups from voting."

If the three — including John C.

Sell more and more of the same old fuels to an ever-hungrier market

Scrubbing King Coal

In Mother Jones, James Ridgeway writes: "Across the board, the companies that control fossil fuels have begun to respond to rising concern about global warming with what amounts to a three-point strategy: First, make small overtures toward developing renewable energy, and milk them for maximum PR value. Second, invest more generously in carbon-based 'alternative energy' that gets passed off as green. Third, invoke the goal of energy independence to pump, mine, transport, and sell more and more of the same old fuels to an ever-hungrier market."

Every few weeks, he boards a plane in Portland and flies to the Middle East to meet with a high-profile Saudi client who cannot enter the United States because he faces charges here of financing terrorism. Mr. Nelson says he does not dare to phone this client or send him e-mail messages because of what many prominent criminal defense lawyers say is a well-founded fear that all of their contacts are being monitored by the United States government."
