Dan Froomkin, The Washington Post: "It's hard to summarize the past five and a half years. But I'll try. I started my column in January 2004, and one dominant theme quickly emerged: That George W. Bush was truly the proverbial emperor with no clothes."

Dafna Linzer and Peter Finn, ProPublica and The Washington Post: "The Obama administration, fearing a battle with Congress that could stall plans to close Guantanamo, is drafting an executive order that would reassert presidential authority to incarcerate suspected terrorists indefinitely, according to three senior government officials with knowledge of White House deliberations."

Hartz IV Sanktionen sind völliger Unfug

Schlägt man die Bildzeitung auf oder lauscht man den Argumenten der Bundesregierung, so ensteht der Eindruck, Erwerbslose im Hartz IV Bezug müssten sanktioniert werden, weil sie sonst Jobangebote ausschlagen würden. Doch welche Jobangebote sollten Erwerbslose ablehnen, wenn offene Arbeitsangebote immer weniger werden? Unermüdlich suggerieren gerade konservative Kreise das Bild des "arbeitslosen Faulenzer, der auf Kosten der Steuerzahler lebt". So ist der "gemeinsame Feind" schnell ausgemacht und ein Arbeitszwang für Hartz IV Betroffene macht sich auch gut im CDU Wahlprogramm. Lesen Sie den ganzen Text:

Recently, an American Civil Liberties Union report pointed out, "Anti-terrorism training materials currently being used by the Department of Defense (DoD) teach its personnel that free expression in the form of public protests should be regarded as 'low level terrorism."

What we are now witnessing in Congress and the White House is a total, ugly capitulation to the money and power of the private health insurance industry. If the private health insurance industry maintains its stranglehold on the national system, then taxpayers will pay even more money for the worst national health care system in the world.

All those of us who claim to care about others both here and abroad, about justice, and about peace, must become relentless in our efforts to fundamentally change the current pro-corporate, anti-human system of our country, starting with the current members of Congress.

Mike Elk, The Huffington Post: "So far only one group has been able to force the banks to seriously change their practices - workers occupying their factories."

Manuel Roig-Franzia, The Washington Post: "On any given day, the rowhouse at 133 C St. SE - well-appointed, with American flag flying, white-and-green-trimmed windows and a pleasant garden - fills with talk of power and the Lord. At least five congressmen live there, quietly renting upstairs rooms from an organization affiliated with 'the Fellowship,' the obsessively secretive Arlington spiritual group that organizes the National Day of Prayer breakfast, an event routinely attended by legions of top government officials. Other politicians come to the house for group spirituality sessions, prayer meetings or to simply share their troubles."
