Dahr Jamail, Truthout: "'Look around,' the drill sergeant said. 'In a few years, or even a few months, several of you will be dead. Some of you will be severely wounded or so badly mutilated that your own mother can't stand the sight of you. And for the real unlucky ones, you will come home so emotionally disfigured that you wish you had died over there.'"

Case closed — literally

Huffington Post
by Harry Shearer

02/17/10

Defenders of ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ — they’re just techniques, after all — have continually insisted that the treatment does not cross the line into the forbidden land of torture. Crtics have relied on history — the US used to prosecute people for waterboarding. Now we have some hard evidence, in the form of rulings by US federal judges...

Law officers may be less patient, quicker to use force after combat deployment, study finds

Many law enforcement officers called up to fight in Iraq and Afghanistan are finding it difficult to readjust to their jobs once home, bringing back heightened survival instincts that may make them quicker to use force and showing less patience toward the people they serve.

Nolan Chart
by Kenn Jacobine

02/17/10

Make no mistake about it, over time an imperial presidency has been built in Washington by both Republicans and Democrats. Executive orders, presidential nullification, and unconstitutional recess appointments have been used by presidents to achieve objectives they could not get legally through Congress. It has made a mockery of the Constitution and at times has had serious consequences for American citizens. Congress must reassert its authority over these matters...

On political independence and the dictatorship of the Democratic-Republican two-party state

Poli-Tea
by d.eris

02/17/10

63% say federal lawmakers should not be re-elected, but 51% say their own representative should be re-elected. What this disparity represents is the unwillingness or inability of the American voter, in the aggregate, to admit responsibility for the reproduction of the problem that is the Democratic-Republican two-party state and duopoly system of government: it is always someone else’s representative who is the representative of the problem. But the reality is exactly the opposite. If you are dissatisfied with the federal legislature, and you continue to vote for Republicans or Democrats, you are the problem...

By Prof. Michael Hudson

As Mr. Obama's chief of staff Emanuel Rahm put it, a crisis is too good a thing to waste. It's a con man's old trick to pressure the victim to make a decision fast. Having created the crisis, Wall Street wants to use its momentum to knock out any potential checks to its power.

Real, Uglier American Unemployment

By Joel S. Hirschhorn

Real Reason for Sanctions Against Iran

By Eric Sommer

The U.S.-sponsored drive to impose new economic sanctions on Iran has nothing to do with the noble cause of limiting proliferation of nuclear weapons on the planet. It is directly linked to the U.S. military doctrine of establishing 'full spectrum dominance' - i.e., military dominance on land, sea, air, and outer space over all other countries in the world.

America's Global Weapons Monopoly

How Does a Corporation Speak?

By William A. Cohn

A corporation speaks by clear-cutting old-growth forests, by dumping pollutants in our communities and denying care for our elders, by off-shoring to avoid paying taxes, and by outsourcing and eliminating jobs. This inanimate Frankenstein constructed by law now enjoys vast legal and constitutional rights which it wields against humans, animals and nature.
