Crystal Ball Gazing

By Mike Whitney

The US consumer, long considered an inexhaustible resource, is tapped out. Without job security and access to easy credit consumer spending will slow, prices will fall, demand will flag and the economy will tank. There won't be a recovery.

Prisoner with an ID (153399) is shown missing a good portion of his head. This is one of a number of dead bodies shown in the photographs. SBS (the Australian news outlet) found an Army report on his death and concluded that these dead prisoners had likely been shot by guards during a riot or murdered by guards in other circumstances. Others have claimed mortar attacks from outside the prison are to blame.

Boxer Faces "Challenge of a Lifetime" on Climate Change Bill

Rob Hotakainen, McClatchy Newspapers: "If the Senate doesn't pass a bill to cut global warming, Democratic Sen. Barbara Boxer says, there will be dire results: droughts, floods, fires, loss of species, damage to agriculture, worsening air pollution and more. She says there's a huge upside, however, if the Senate does act: millions of clean-energy jobs, reduced reliance on foreign oil and less pollution for the nation's children."
