"Ob es den Liberalen in erster Linie um Regierungsposten oder tatsächlich um die Bürgerrechte geht, werden schon sehr bald die Koalitionsverhandlungen zeigen", sagt das Mitglied des Parteivorstandes Jan Korte (MdB). Wenn die FDP hier vor den Hardlinern der Union einknicke, verspiele sie ihre Glaubwürdigkeit. Er erklärt:

Der Präsident des Bundesverfassungsgerichts, Hans-Jürgen Papier, hat mit seiner Warnung vor einem «Super-GAU des Datenschutzes» die Dringlichkeit einer Trendwende in der Innenpolitik verdeutlicht. Gerne möchte ich den Aussagen von Sabine Leutheusser-Schnarrenberger glauben, wonach die Stärkung der Bürgerrechte für die Liberalen zu den Kernpunkten in einer schwarz-gelben Regierung gehöre. Die mutmaßlich neue Justizministerin kann es in Kürze beweisen. Zum Beispiel durch ein umfangreiches und modernes Arbeitnehmerdatenschutzgesetz, wie es DIE LINKE schon seit langem fordert. Seit Jahren wird es, trotz ständig neuer Datenschutzskandale, auf die lange Bank geschoben. Damit nicht auch in Zukunft gilt, dass Bürgerrechte, Datenschutz und die Freiheit immer weiter eingeschränkt werden, muss unverzüglich ein Moratorium für neue, bürgerrechtsfeindliche Gesetze beschlossen werden. Wenn die FDP ihrem Ruf, eine Bürgerrechtspartei zu sein, gerecht werden will, muss sie bei den Koalitionsverhandlungen darüber hinaus aber auch zeigen, dass ihre Kritik an den Überwachungsgesetzen ernst gemeint war und zumindest die schlimmsten Auswüchse des Überwachungswahns rückgängig machen. Ich bin gespannt, ob eines der ersten Gesetze in dieser Legislaturperiode wirklich ein Arbeitnehmerdatenschutzgesetz sein wird oder ob schwarz-gelb nahtlos dort weiter macht, wo Schäuble aufgehört hat.

The self-interest motivations of individuals assures us that they will always act for the purpose of enhancing their lives, however they define such ends; to be better off after acting than if they had not chosen to act. Liberty is the condition in which individuals are able to act in pursuit of their highest interests. By its very nature, then, liberty enhances the quality of life. By contrast, the state — which is universally defined as an agency with a monopoly on the use of violence within a given territory — never acts to enhance life. It is inconceivable that it could ever do so, for violence forces life to be what it does not choose to be...

A NATO airstrike on a compound in southern Afghanistan killed a family of six, a local tribal leader said Thursday, despite orders by Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the top U.S. and NATO commander in the country, to avoid air power if civilians are at risk. The U.S. military said the airstrike occurred after troops came under fire from the compound late Wednesday. … A British military spokesman, Lt. Col. Nick Richardson, said there were unconfirmed reports that 12 people were killed — six children, two women and four insurgents...

McChrystal: “Humility” needed in Afghanistan

CNN

10/01/09

The top U.S. commander in Afghanistan said Thursday the coalition in the war-torn country is going to have to do things ‘dramatically differently, even uncomfortably differently’ in order to succeed. ‘We must operate and think in a fundamentally new way,’ Gen. Stanley McChrystal said in a speech at the International Institute for Strategic Studies, a British think thank. He stressed the importance of connecting with the Afghan people, who he said are ‘frustrated’ that more has not been accomplished in the nearly 8-year-old war...

Pepe Escobar, Tomdispatch.com: "Oil and natural gas prices may be relatively low right now, but don't be fooled. The New Great Game of the twenty-first century is always over energy and it's taking place on an immense chessboard called Eurasia. Its squares are defined by the networks of pipelines being laid across the oil heartlands of the planet. Call it Pipelineistan. If, in Asia, the stakes in this game are already impossibly high, the same applies to the 'Euro' part of the great Eurasian landmass - the richest industrial area on the planet. Think of this as the real political thriller of our time."

The evilness of sanctions

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Jacob G. Hornberger

10/01/09

Following in the footsteps of his predecessors, President Barack Obama is threatening to impose even stricter sanctions on Iran, in an attempt to bend Iranian leaders to his will. Let’s examine two major cases in which the U.S. government has imposed sanctions, examples that any reasonable person would not consider to be success stories: Iraq and Cuba. For more than 10 continuous years after the Persian Gulf War, the U.S. government, under Presidents George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush imposed one of the most brutal systems of sanctions in history on Iraq...

Bitter Fruits of Mideast Wars

The sanctions road appears headed for dead end, or war.

By Patrick J. Buchanan

"Smart sanctions" that punish Iran's leaders are not going to persuade them to give up a nuclear program for which they have already suffered and sacrificed greatly. And a cutoff of gasoline to Iran would hit hardest not the Revolutionary Guard but Iran's middle class, which tends to be anti-regime and pro-Western.

Mother Jones
by Andy Kroll

09/30/09

When a haggard-looking Hank Paulson, Jr., then Secretary of the Treasury, assured the American people last fall that the government’s multibillion-dollar Troubled Asset Relief Program wouldn’t cost taxpayers a dime, he sounded confident. ‘This is an investment, not an expenditure, and there is no reason to expect this program will cost taxpayers anything,’ he said at the time. Well, that was then. Last week Neil Barofsky, one of the leading TARP watchdogs on Capitol Hill (and a dead ringer for a young Richard Nixon), offered a far less rosy assessment of the largest bailout of its kind in American history. ‘It is extremely unlikely that the taxpayer will see a full return on its TARP investment,’ Barofsky testified to the Senate Committee on Banking, Housing, and Urban Affairs. Barofsky’s thorny review comes as little surprise. As the bailout’s one-year anniversary looms, no one on Capitol Hill has put more pressure on the Treasury to beef up its oversight of the labyrinthine, taxpayer-funded TARP and ensure that taxpayer dollars went to good use...

Disloyal Opposition
by JD Tuccille

Who is a terrorist? Just as important: How do we differentiate terrorists from freedom-fighters, mere criminals, outspoken political dissidents and soldiers, and keep the ‘war against terror’ from poisoning everyday life? A recent report from a watchdog group suggests that federal agencies can’t agree on just what defines a terrorist — and that their confusion endangers civil liberties...

Freedom in our Time

If you build it, they will come.That would appear to be the business plan of an enigmatic California company called American Police Force (APF), which appears to be effectively taking over the town of Hardin, Montana. … What appears to be happening here — and until relevant details are pried out of the prehensile grip of the people running things, we can’t know for sure — is nothing less than a corporatist-style military coup: the takeover of a small town in Montana by a politically connected, federally subsidized paramilitary organization...

Two missile attacks killed 13 militants in northwestern Pakistan’s tribal belt yesterday in the latest apparent strikes of a covert US program that American officials are considering intensifying. Unmanned drones have carried out more than 70 missile attacks in the border region over the last year, but Washington rarely acknowledges the strikes...

Die Schuldenbremse wird den finanzpolitischen Spielraum stark einschränken. Wenn die neue Bundesregierung überdies die anvisierten Steuersenkungen beschließt, dürften zentrale Zukunftsinvestitionen auf der Strecke bleiben.

The McChrystal method

The American Conservative
by Jeff Huber

09/30/09

Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s ‘60 Minutes’ infomercial erases any doubt that the Pentagon and its supporters are waging unrestricted information warfare against our commander in chief. The war lobby would have us believe that unless President Obama accedes immediately to McChrystal’s request for additional ‘resources’ in Afghanistan, all will be lost and the Islamofascist hordes will breach our shores and devour us. What’s missing from the discussion is that the arguments in favor of supporting McChrystal’s proposed strategy, and McChrystal’s strategy itself, are insane...

McChrystal’s Afghan desolation

CounterPunch
by Vijay Prashad

09/30/09

On October 7, the Afghan sector of the Global War on Terror (since renamed) will open its ninth year. This conflict, or war, is now longer in duration than the U. S. presence in both world wars (only five years), and is coming onto the length of the formal Vietnam War (fifteen years if you discount the various operations in the Diem years). The loss of American life is not as great as it was in Vietnam or in the world wars, but the expense is greater (amounting to $4 billion per month, with a National Priorities Project study showing that the total cost by the end of 2009 will be almost $200 billion)...

Exorcising America's Diplomatic Demons

By Robert Scheer

According to the demonology that has long driven U.S. foreign policy, no country has ever cast a larger shadow as evil incarnate than Communist China. All communists in the Cold War era, like all Islamic radicals today, were assumed to be part of a unified internationalist movement bent on world conquest.

The Lying Game

Iran's crime is its independence. Having thrown out America's favourite tyrant, Shah Reza Pahlavi, Iran remains the only resource-rich Muslim state beyond US control.

Manufacturing Consent For Attack On Iran: US military could strike Iran, but at what cost?

Is Obama man or mouse?

Salon
by Gene Lyons

10/01/09

As Glenn Greenwald never tires of pointing out, the key to a career as a ’serious’ Washington pundit is to have been spectacularly wrong about both the necessity and consequences of invading Iraq. As wrong as the neoconservative theorists of the Bush administration, whose motto before conquering Baghdad was ‘real men go to Tehran.’ Seriousness also means never having to say you’re sorry. Thousands of dead and wounded are as nothing next to the status and perquisites of Beltway celebrity. Thankfully, however, for all the hyperventilating, nothing’s apt to happen about the Iranian ‘threat’ except bluster and diplomatic maneuver...

Le Monde's editorialist writes (French Translation: Leslie Thatcher): "January 22, on the second day of his presidency, Barack Obama solemnly signed the decree for the closure of the Guantanamo prison facility: since 2002, that damning symbol of the George Bush presidency. 'America's moral example must once again be the foundation of our global leadership,' the American president said then, before clarifying that this closing would take effect within a year. Can this commitment be kept? At the moment, nothing is less certain."
