Secession: The ultimate states’ right

Hawaii Reporter
by Ron Paul

04/27/09

Last week the governor of Texas ignited a media firestorm for his remarks involving the idea of secession. He did not call for Texas to secede from the United States. He merely pointed out that the federal government was treading heavily on the sovereignty of the states and that this can not continue indefinitely without a breaking point. The reaction to Governor Perry’s statements has been nothing short of hysterical. He has been called treasonous for making this obvious point and opening up a discussion. I am not calling for secession either, however there is nothing wrong with a healthy and open discussion of this issue...

Document: Cheney, Rice signed off on interrogation techniques

A newly declassified narrative of the Bush administration's advice to the CIA on harsh interrogations shows that the small group of Justice Department lawyers who wrote memos authorizing harsh interrogation techniques were operating not on their own but with direction from top administration officials, including then-Vice President Dick Cheney and National Security Adviser Condoleezza Rice.

Reagan's DOJ Prosecuted Waterboarding Case

Jason Leopold, Truthout: "George W. Bush's Justice Department said subjecting a person to the near drowning of waterboarding was not a crime and didn't even cause pain, but Ronald Reagan's Justice Department thought otherwise, prosecuting a Texas sheriff and three deputies for using the practice to get confessions."

CIA Reportedly Declined to Closely Evaluate Harsh Interrogations

Greg Miller, The Los Angeles Times: "The CIA used an arsenal of severe interrogation techniques on imprisoned Al Qaeda suspects for nearly seven years without seeking a rigorous assessment of whether the methods were effective or necessary, according to current and former US officials familiar with the matter. The failure to conduct a comprehensive examination occurred despite calls to do so as early as 2003."

Tony Blair Calls on World to Wage War on Militant Islam

Mr Blair was speaking almost ten years to the day since he gave an address in Chicago at the height of the Kosovo crisis when he set out what he described as a "doctrine of international community" that sought to justify intervention, including military intervention, not only when a nation's interests are directly engaged but also where there exists a humanitarian crisis or gross oppression of a civilian population.

Given that most people agree that the drug war has failed to achieve its supposed purpose after decades of warfare, an important question arises: Why is the drug war still being waged, especially when we consider all the collateral damage that this federal program has produced? Hasn't the time arrived for Americans to demand an immediate end to the war on drugs?

Until now, Bush has managed to escape blame for his outrageous inactivity before 9/11 because his subordinates - first and foremost, Tenet - have covered up for him. Faustian bargain? Call it mutual blackmail, if you prefer the vernacular.

The Cancerous Rot at the Center of the Empire

My question is: Why limit torture to suspected terrorists? Why not expand it to suspected murderers, drug dealers, robbers, and kidnappers? After all, can't those types of people commit just as heinous an act as terrorists?
