Pentagon Calls for 'Office of Strategic Deception'

By Sahil Kapur

Remember the Pentagon Office of Special Plans that helped collect dubious intelligence that led to the war in Iraq? Or the program where the Pentagon secretly briefed military analysts to promote the Iraq war? Meet the would-be Office of Strategic Deception.

Nothing More Dangerous Than a Recovering "Realist?"

By Stephen M. Walt

Back in 2002, the Council on Foreign Relations sponsored a book by Kenneth Pollack (subsequently director of research at the Saban Center for Middle East Studies at Brookings), entitled The Threatening Storm: The Case for Invading Iraq. The book argued that Saddam Hussein was irrational and undeterrable and that the United States had no choice but to remove him from power.

U.S. Citizen in CIA's Cross Hairs

The U.S. military, which has expanded its presence in Yemen, keeps a separate list of individuals to capture or kill. Awlaki is already on the military's list, which is maintained by the U.S. Joint Special Operations Command. Awlaki apparently survived a Dec. 24 airstrike conducted jointly by U.S. and Yemeni forces.

The Sanctity of Military Spending

By Glenn Greenwald

Even as the U.S. sunk under increasingly crippling levels of debt over the last decade, defense spending rose steadily, sometimes precipitously. That explosion occurred even as overall military spending in the rest of the world decreased, thus expanding the already-vast gap between our expenditures and the world's.

Bush Pentagon Hired Conspiracy Theorist As Al Qaeda Specialist

By Justin Elliott

When the Pentagon's internal think tank decided in 2004 it needed a better understanding of Al Qaeda, it turned to an unlikely source: the terrorism analyst Laurie Mylroie, who was known as the chief purveyor of the discredited idea that Saddam Hussein was behind Sept. 11 and many other attacks carried out by Al Qaeda.

British Invasion of Iraq Was Illegal: Ex-govt Lawyer

"I considered that the use of force against Iraq in March 2003 was contrary to international law," Michael Wood, chief legal advisor to the Foreign Office between 1999 and 2006, told the Chilcot inquiry in London. "In my opinion, that use of force had not been authorised by the Security Council, and had no other legal basis in international law."

Hartz IV vor dem Bundesverfassungsgericht

Hartz IV-Kindergeldrückzahlungsforderungen der BA: Unbedingt Widerspruch einlegen

Erwerbslosen Forum Deutschland rät zu Widerspruch und erstmal gar nicht zu zahlen

„Die Bundesagentur für Arbeit (BA) muss in mehreren hunderttausend Fällen Geld von Hartz IV-Beziehern zurückfordern, weil durch falsche Bescheide die Erhöhung des Kindergeldes nicht berücksichtigt wurde. Der Grund: Zum ersten Januar 2010 gab es eine Kindergelderhöhung um 20 Euro. Bei vielen Eltern ist der Betrag jedoch nicht angerechnet worden. Die Bundesagentur für Arbeit räumte den Fehler bei der Berechnung ein, will aber dennoch einen riesigen Aufwand betreiben, um die Gelder wieder zurück zu verlangen…“ Pressemitteilung des Erwerbslosen Forum Deutschland vom 24.01.2010 http://www.erwerbslosenforum.de/nachrichten/24_242010240124_370_1.htm

The Obama brand

AlterNet

Excerpt from Empire of Illusion: The End of Literacy and the Triumph of Spectacle, by Chris Hedges. “Barack Obama is a brand. And the Obama brand is designed to make us feel good about our government while corporate overlords loot the Treasury, armies of corporate lobbyists grease the palms of our elected officials, our corporate media diverts us with gossip and trivia, and our imperial wars expand in the Middle East. Brand Obama is about being happy consumers. We are entertained. We feel hopeful. We like our president. We believe he is like us. But like all branded products spun out from the manipulative world of corporate advertising, this product is duping us into doing and supporting a lot of things that are not in our interest...

Obama and the “hard pivot”

QandO
by Bruce McQuain

01/26/10

President Obama is about to do what the pundits love to describe as a ‘hard pivot.’ What that really means is he’s going to try to change the subject enough to divert attention from his troubles and give the impression he’s doing something for the people that they actually want. The first part of the hard pivot was his attack on banking and Wall Street. Meeting with a modicum of populist success there and in the wake of the message from Massachusetts, he’s decided it is now time to focus on jobs, the middle class and, of all things, spending. Well sort of...

Ex-Blackwater employees accused of killing two Afghan civilians

MSNBC

01/25/10

A pair of former Blackwater contractors charged with murdering two people in Afghanistan had checkered pasts with the military before getting hired to work overseas, according to service records disclosed in recent U.S. court hearings. The troubled backgrounds of the two men — including instances of violence, drug use and disregard for authority — are a first sign that Xe, the company formerly known as Blackwater, was staffing its war-zone work force with contractors who might not be suited for the job...

A manifesto: Ending the war

The Nation
by Robert Dreyfuss

01/25/10

How will the war in Afghanistan end? This isn’t a trick question. The answer is simple: the war will end when President Obama signs an order ending it; that is, when the president tells his commanders: ‘It’s over.’ Opponents of the war — including left-wing antiwar activists, liberal progressives, centrists, ‘realists’ and conservative libertarians — will have to unite to pressure, cajole, persuade, and convince Obama to issue that order. Fortunately, in his December 2009 speech at West Point, President Obama provided the war’s opponents with a tactical wedge to use in driving their point home: the president’s announcement that beginning in July 2011 — just eighteen months from now — US forces in Afghanistan will start to draw down...

Is White House Pressuring DOJ to Delay Torture Report Until Health Care Bill Passes?

Jason Leopold, Truthout: "Did the Obama administration pressure the Department of Justice (DOJ) to suppress a long-awaited report from one of the agency's watchdogs on issues revolving around torture until Congress passes a health care bill?"

When Scholars Join the Slaughter

Dahr Jamail, Truthout: "A core tenant of the Obama administration's plans for 'victory' in Iraq and Afghanistan is an increased reliance on counterinsurgency. As previously reported on this web site, the US military has sent shock troops - anthropologists, sociologists and social psychologists - with their own troops in both Iraq and Afghanistan, who also donned helmets and flak jackets. By the end of 2007, American scholars in these fields were embedding with the military in Afghanistan and Iraq as part of a Pentagon program called Human Terrain System (HTS), which evolved shortly thereafter into a $40 million program that embedded four or five person groups of scholars in the aforementioned fields in all 26 US combat brigades that were busily occupying Iraq and Afghanistan."
