Stephen Rohde, The Daily Journal: "On February 19, the Department of Justice released the long-awaited 261-page Report of the Office of Professional Responsibility (OPR), which concluded, among other things, that in his legal memos on torture and presidential power, John Yoo had 'committed intentional professional misconduct when he violated his duty to exercise independent legal judgment and render thorough, objective, and candid legal advice.' A senior Justice Department official, acknowledging that he had not reviewed all the documents available to the OPR, found that Yoo exercised 'poor judgment' and that Yoo's memos were 'flawed,' 'one-sided and conclusory' and 'wrong,' in various respects, but nevertheless declined to accept the report or refer Yoo for disciplinary action, leaving this decision to the state bars. Given what we now know, here is the memo John Yoo should have submitted to President George W. Bush."

How John Yoo and His Young Apprentice Tortured Health Care

Jason Leopold, Truthout: "Last Sunday, Nancy Pelosi vowed to wrangle up the votes needed to pass a health care bill even if it meant some Democratic lawmakers would be voted out of office in November's midterm elections. 'The point is we have a responsibility here ... ' Pelosi said later on CNN's 'State of the Union,' explaining the urgency in passing legislation. If only Pelosi and other Democrats applied the same aggressive attitude toward holding Bush administration officials accountable for implementing a policy of torture against 'war on terror detainees' after 9/11."

Government investigators can’t find the Bush lawyer’s emails. His explanation makes about as much sense as his legal rationale for torture...

Freedom's Phoenix
by Stephen Lendman

03/02/10

America glorifies conflicts and the righteousness of waging them, packaged as liberating ones for democracy, freedom, justice, and the best of all possible worlds. Obama is just the latest in a long line of warrior leaders promising peace by waging war, justifying them by bogus threats, and calling pacifism unpatriotic to further an imperial agenda for greater wealth, power, and unchallengeable global dominance...

War is peace: Robert Gates edition

Salon
by Glenn Greenwald

03/01/10

For Orwellian Government Statement of the Month, allow me to nominate this gem from Defense Secretary Robert Gates, who warned that ‘the demilitarization of Europe — where large swaths of the general public and political class are averse to military force and the risks that go with it [is] … an impediment to achieving real security and lasting peace in the 21st.’ So according to our Secretary of Defense — itself an Orwellian title at this point — the greatest danger to peace (not to mention America’s ability to rule the world through mass invasions and occupations) is a desire on the part of Europeans to avoid war...

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Andy Worthington

When it comes to dealing with the thorny question of how to close Guantanamo, the remaining prisoners have been caught between two competing systems since President Obama took office last January, and the result, to put it mildly, has been confusing. Under President Bush, prisoners were cleared for release by military-review boards, established to review the supposed evidence against them, and to determine whether they constituted an ongoing threat to the United States...

American oligarchy

The Weekly Standard
by Christopher Caldwell

[E]very time the president accuses Republicans of trying to ‘block progress’ or of defying ‘common sense,’ as he did that night, he is executing a dangerous tightrope walk. His party’s electoral fortunes depend on his making forceful calls for reform of our banking laws. His party’s fundraising fortunes depend on his ensuring that no serious reform — of the kind that endangers the big banks’ size and power — ever happens. That may be why the Democrats’ strategy of painting the Republicans as obstructionists on finance reform has gained little traction. By the same token, if Republicans ever did get serious about reforming the banks — and even about breaking up an industry that has turned into a Democratic war chest — they would put Democrats in mortal peril. There seems no chance of this. Obama’s taunts show a confidence, verging on certitude, that Republicans’ hypocrisy is as deep as his own... (for publication 05/10/10)
