Nancy A. Youssef, Mcclatchy Newspapers: "The prospect that U.S. Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal may ask for as many as 45,000 additional American troops in Afghanistan is fueling growing tension within President Barack Obama's administration over the U.S. commitment to the war there."

Greg Miller, The Los Angeles Times: "Their transformations took place in a sensory cocoon: aboard a CIA aircraft, shackled in place, deprived of sight and sound by blindfolds, headsets and hoods. They emerged into an existence that was hidden for most of the last eight years, but now is possible to glimpse through dozens of declassified files released by the Obama administration last week."

She lost an arm."

Freedom's Phoenix

In response to two Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuits, ‘The government today handed over to the American Civil Liberties Union (one of dozens of documents comprising an unprecedented 130,000 previously secret pages, including) a detailed official description of the CIA’s interrogation program.’ Referring to a heavily redacted December 2004 report (originally commissioned by CIA director George Tenet) detailing torture of prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan, it ‘describes the use of abusive interrogation techniques including forced nudity, sleep deprivation, dietary manipulation and stress positions.’ Far worse ones were understated or redacted entirely...

Less than a year into Barack Obama’s presidency, the promise of hope has faded. America’s public square is an angry and bitter place. Untold numbers of Americans seethe with anger at Obama and his fellow Democrats, resentment coupled with fear even more intense than the rage other Americans expressed just a year ago at George W. Bush and the Republicans. One telling sign: The comparisons of the president to Hitler remain the same — only the face has changed from Bush to Obama...

Who Won The Ideology Wars?

By David Michael Green

Who could have imagined, six months ago, that the ideology of George W. Bush and Dick Cheney would be poised for a comeback, perhaps in an even more toxic form than what we suffered through these last eight years? But that is, indeed, precisely where we find ourselves.

This is an update on the issue of the rejection of a tower site proposed for Victoria Harbour, Kings Co, Nova Scotia, Canada. This is part of a government funded project to provide high speed internet to all rural Nova Scotians. The Federal government will pay for half of the cost. this project extends across rural Canada.

After consulting with the local residents, the municipal councillors voted 8-1 to reject granting a development license to Eastlink Cable Co (owned by John Bragg) one councillor refused to vote because he felt that he had been misled and that not all the information was presented, hence the 8-1 vote.

The proposed tower site is next to an organic garlic farm and home of 37 years. The organic garlic farm is the only remaining local food producer of seed garlic. Radiation is a recognized contaminate of local food produce by Agriculture Canada.

The tower has been stalled by the governments own bureaucracy with Eastlink requesting that Federal Government, Industry Canada ignore the municipal vote (the Land Use Authority)to reject the site and to permit the tower site without the required Developement License required( as set out in Industry Canada's regulations).

By appealing to our local Federal Member of Parliament, our local provincial government Agricultural Representitive,and the Municipal representitives, we have managed to put the project on hold since June pending a decision at the End of July. This has been extended to the end of August.

Industry Canada will notify Eastlink and the Municipality of the decision soon. The Municipality has sent letters to Industry Canada and their federal Member of Parliament stating the unamious vote to reject the site and thereby refuse to issue the required Development License.

Another proposed tower site in Margaretsville has also been rejected by the municipality. Margaretsville is a community near Victoria Harbour.

We expect that a decision may be made in early Sept.

A New York sheriff's deputy has defended his actions in tasering a woman in front of her two young children, and says that the decision to suspend him for thirty days came only after the story made national headlines earlier this month.

Parenting with a Taser … the police way

WendyMcElroy.Com
by Wendy McElroy

11/19/09

Tasing a disobedient 10-year-old must be a welcomed relief from dealing with real criminals — you know the violent adults who rape and rob and might be actually dangerous. Bradshaw claims the child, inresisting arrest, kicked him in the groin and, so, presumably was a threat to him. (Yet I note he got permission to tase the girl before he tried to haul her off to jail.) With greater PR savvy, the police chief stated that tasing the girl was for her own good to keep her ‘from hurting herself.’ Yep … being jolted with a blast electricity that has caused heart attacks in adults, being arrested and thrown into juvie detention while facing court charges are all in a young child’s best interests. If she didn’t have psychological problems before, she certainly will have them now. Of course, if the mother herself had tased the girl, she would be in jail on child endangerment or abuse charges … and properly so...

A shocking internal document outlines the French government’s plans to impose a mandatory mass swine flu vaccination program on the entire population which would be focused around regional vaccination centers and would be carried out by H1N1 injection teams, completely bypassing medical establishments and GP’s.

Söldner ohne Kontrolle

In Kriegszenarien tauchen immer häufiger Privatarmeen auf, die im Grunde moderne Söldnerheere sind. 4 000 Bundesbürger sollen es inzwischen sein, die sich weltweit in jedermanns Dienst stellen. Interview von Peter Schulte-Holtey mit dem Politologen und Buchautor Franz Hutsch in der Offenbach Post vom 17.08.09 http://www.op-online.de/nachrichten/politik/soeldner-ohne-kontrolle-444314.html

Aus dem Text: „Im Kinofilm `Stand der Dinge` geht es um die Privatisierung des amerikanischen Militärs. Wer treibt die Privatisierung in Deutschland an: Unternehmen oder Regierung? Beide gleichermaßen: Die deutsche Sicherheitsindustrie hat bislang keinen nennenswerten Anteil an den oftmals zweistelligen Zuwachsraten der börsennotierten Firmen in den USA und Großbritannien. Das soll sich nach dem erklärten Willen der Branche ändern. Die Bundesregierung gibt zunehmend Tätigkeiten der Bundeswehr in die Hände private Sicherheitsunternehmen, um so beispielsweise die Obergrenzen für die deutschen Truppen nach dem Bundestagsmandat einzuhalten und trotzdem der militärischen Führung ein gewisses Maß an Operationsfreiheit garantieren zu können�“

If anyone ever tells you that they don’t understand what is meant by ’stenography journalism’ — or ever insists that America is plagued by a Liberal Media — you can show them this article from today’s Washington Post and, by itself, it should clear up everything. The article’s headline is ‘How a Detainee Became An Asset — Sept. 11 Plotter Cooperated After Waterboarding’ — though an equally appropriate headline would be: ‘The Joys and Virtues of Torture — how Dick Cheney Kept Us Safe.’ I defy anyone to identify a single way the article would be different if The Post had let Dick Cheney write it himself. The next time someone laments the economic collapse of the modern American newspaper, one might point out that an industry which pays three separate reporters (Peter Finn, Joby Warrick and Julie Tate) and numerous editors to churn out mindless, inane tripe like this has brought about its own demise...
