Waterboarding Too Dangerous, Internal DoD Memo Reveals

Jeffrey Kaye, Truthout: "In recent weeks, former Bush speechwriter Marc Thiessen has been on a public relations campaign defending the efficacy of waterboarding, going so far as to say that the torture technique sanctioned by the Bush administration is not only safe, but is in line with the teachings of the Catholic Church.... On Tuesday, in an interview with 'Fox News,' John Yoo, the former Justice Department attorney who was the principal author of legal memoranda that cleared the way for CIA interrogators to waterboard 'war on terror' detainees and subject them to other brutal torture techniques, asserted that waterboarding was harmless."

Yoo Besmirches Legacy of Jefferson

Ray McGovern, Truthout: "Initially I was shocked at the thought of the University of Virginia (UVA) welcoming former Justice Department lawyer John Yoo to the 'Academical Village' founded by Thomas Jefferson. There was something very wrong about that picture. Was it not Jefferson who condemned tyrannical acts - including ones that fell far short of waterboarding - in the Declaration of Independence?"

Winter in America: Democracy Gone Rogue

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: "Democracy in the United States is experiencing both a crisis of meaning and a legitimation crisis. As the promise of an aspiring democracy is sacrificed more and more to corporate and military interests, democratic spheres have largely been commercialized and democratic practices have been reduced to market relations, stripped of their worth and subject to the narrow logics of commodification and profit making. Empowerment has little to do with providing people with the knowledge, skills and power to shape the forces and institutions that bear down on their lives and is now largely defined as under the rubric of being a savvy consumer. When not equated with the free market capitalism, democracy is reduced to the empty rituals of elections largely shaped by corporate money and indifferent to relations of power that make a mockery out of equality, democratic participation and collective deliberation."

Karlsruhe hat gesprochen, aber die Vorratsdatenspeicherung ist damit noch nicht endgültig vom Tisch

„Das höchste deutsche Gericht hat entschieden: Ab sofort müssen deutsche Provider die sog. Vorratsdatenspeicherung einstellen. Der pauschalen Überwachung des Kommunikationsverhaltens ist damit vorerst Einhalt geboten.

Urteil zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung: Verfassungsrechtlicher Opportunismus

„Ein Pyrrhus-Sieg: Aus diesem Sieg vor dem Bundesverfassungsgericht gehen die 35.000 Kläger auf Dauer eher geschwächt hervor. Das gestrige Urteil des Bundesverfassungsgerichts zur Vorratsdatenspeicherung hat zwar die innerdeutsche Regelung für nichtig erklärt, dennoch ist eine Speicherungspflicht in dem im Telekommunikationsgesetz vorgesehenen Umfang mit Art. 10 Grundgesetz „nicht schlechthin unvereinbar“. Vor allem aber ist die EU-Richtlinie 2006/24/EG, die durch die verfassungswidrig erklärten innerstaatlichen Gesetze nur umgesetzt werden sollte, durch das Urteil nicht tangiert. Wie beim Hartz-IV-Urteil wird pathetisch die Unverletzlichkeit des Grundrechts beschworen, um dann dem Gesetzgeber viel Gestaltungsfreiheit zu geben, das Fernmeldegeheimnis wieder einzuschränken. Und wie beim Urteil über den EU Reformvertrag schreckt das höchste deutsche Gericht vor einer Auseinandersetzung mit dem EU-Recht zurück. Das kann man eigentlich nur verfassungsrechtlichen Opportunismus nennen…“ Umfangreiche Kommentierung von Wolfgang Lieb in den Nachdenkseiten vom 3. März 2010 http://www.nachdenkseiten.de/?p=4668

Fall für den Verfassungsschutzbericht

Zu dem heute über die BILD-Zeitung verbreiteten Vorschlag, Hartz IV nur noch für fünf Jahre auszuzahlen, erklärt Katja Kipping, stellvertretende Parteivorsitzende der LINKEN:

Diese Forderung ist nichts weiter als der Aufruf zum Verfassungsbruch. Schließlich sieht das Grundgesetz das Sozialstaatsgebot vor, und dieses ist durch die Ewigkeitsklausel geschützt. Aus dem Sozialstaatsgebot ergibt sich in Verbindung mit dem Schutz der Menschenwürde aus Artikel
1 die Pflicht des Staates, allen Bedürftigen ein menschenwürdige Existenzminimum zu garantieren. Wie das Bundesverfassungsgericht erst kürzlich in seinem Urteil zu den Hartz-IV-Regelsätzen eindeutig herausgearbeitet hat, ist dieses Grundrecht "dem Grunde nach unverfügbar und muss eingelöst werden." Insofern stellt sich die Frage, ob nicht wer solche Forderungen erhebt, ein Fall für den Verfassungsschutz ist.

CounterPunch
by Franklin C. Spinney

03/03/10

As I indicated in CounterPunch on 3 February 2010, the Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) just released by the Obama Pentagon is a bad joke. That bad joke is about to be given the good housekeeping seal of approval by a special panel appointed jointly by the Secretary of Defense and the defense barons of the Armed Services committees in Congress. When this happens, rest assured, any desire to get control of the out-of-control defense budget will plunge far below its already low level. Chalk up another victory in the Military-Industrial-Congressional Complex’s (MICC’s) war on the Constitution, the American taxpayer, and programs like Social Security and Medicare, which are hallmarks of civilized society...

Freedom's Phoenix
by Bill Bonner

03/03/10

There’s good news and bad news … and a lot of news in between. Consumers spent a little more than was expected of them. And manufacturing did a little better than expected too. On the other hand, the federal government’s tax receipts plunged in the month of February … and bank lending is still contracting. Last week it shrank $33 billion — the 7th week in a row it has contracted. How does an economy expand when the banks are lending less money? Beats us. We believe the ‘expansion’ reported in the GDP figures is mostly counterfeit. It’s government spending and hot money filtering into the economy. Still, it’s amazing that the GDP figures are positive...

KBR at last on trial

The Nation
by Karen Houppert

03/29/10

Five years after alerting authorities that she was gang-raped in Iraq, KBR/Halliburton employee Jamie Leigh Jones will finally get her day in court. On Wednesday, after fighting tooth-and-nail in the lower courts to keep the case from going to trial, KBR announced that it was dropping its Supreme Court appeal in the case. (The company actually withdrew its petition to the court on March 11, according to KBR spokesperson Heather Browne. This was less than two weeks after it was awarded a new $2.3 billion logistics contract by the Army.) Jones, who says she was raped by coworkers and then imprisoned in a shipping container for three days by KBR staffers who wanted to keep her complaint quiet, had been barred from pursuing her sexual harassment case in the courts by a provision in her employee contract: The fine print said all such issues must be resolved via the company’s own binding arbitration process...

Another KBR Employee Says She Was Raped While Working for the Military Contractor in Iraq

Matt Corley, Think Progress: "In 2007, former Halliburton/KBR employee Jamie Leigh Jones revealed that she had been gang-raped by her co-workers while working in Baghdad, and then left by the company in a 'shipping container for at least 24 hours without food or water.' Since Jones went public, several more female KBR employees have come forward with allegations of rape. ABC News reports today that "another female ex-employee of KBR has come forward to claim that she was raped while working for the military contracting company in Iraq."

For those who haven't read it yet, the sweep of the book - which clearly was composed during the Cheney/Bush years, for good reason - is epic in scale. Dealing with several decades of Mexican and American history, from 1929 to the early 1950's, it touches on the end of empires, the pandering mass-media, the use of fear by demagogues to herd the sheeple..., and much more. (The title refers to the hidden entryways that can lead one to different levels of understanding.)"

Bill Quigley, Truthout: "Triple Canopy, a private military company with extensive security operations in Iraq and Israel, is advertising for business in Haiti.

Scahill reported on a number of bloody incidents involving Triple Canopy, including one where a team leader told his group, 'I want to kill somebody today ... because I am going on vacation tomorrow.'"

These radical austerity measures are not only unnecessary, but will actually make matters worse. The push for 'fiscal responsibility' is based on bad economics."

Obama Authorizes Murder of US Citizen

Muslim cleric Aulaqi is 1st U.S. citizen on list of those CIA is allowed to kill

By Greg Miller

Because he is a U.S. citizen, adding Aulaqi to the CIA list required special approval from the White House, officials said. The move means that Aulaqi would be considered a legitimate target not only for a military strike carried out by U.S. and Yemeni forces, but also for lethal CIA operations.

Deep background

The American Conservative
by Philip Giraldi

Even in World War II, the United States did not attempt to assassinate U.S. citizens who went over to the enemy, but that has now changed with President Obama’s overseas contingency operations. On Feb. 3, Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair told the House Intelligence Committee that the United States government has developed procedures for killing American citizens abroad who are ‘involved’ with groups threatening to carry out terrorist acts directed against other Americans. Three U.S. citizens have already been approved by the White House for summary execution as soon as actionable intelligence is developed to enable a pilotless drone’s hellfire missiles to do the killing...

Salon
by Glenn Greenwald

04/07/10

No due process is accorded. No charges or trials are necessary. No evidence is offered, nor any opportunity for him to deny these accusations (which he has done vehemently through his family). None of that. Instead, in Barack Obama’s America, the way guilt is determined for American citizens — and a death penalty imposed — is that the President, like the King he thinks he is, secretly decrees someone’s guilt as a Terrorist. He then dispatches his aides to run to America’s newspapers — cowardly hiding behind the shield of anonymity which they’re granted — to proclaim that the Guilty One shall be killed on sight because the Leader has decreed him to be a Terrorist...
