America's Point of No Return

VIEWPOINT: America's Point of No Return by ROBERT PARRY The elections should be a referendum on whether the United States will wage a virtually endless “World War III” against Muslim radicals—a kind of global version of Iraq—and whether the U.S. Constitution will be effectively repealed, replaced by a new system without “unalienable rights” for citizens and with an all-powerful President. Now that George W. Bush has reframed Election 2006 around John Kerry’s “botched joke” and the notion that a Democratic victory means “the terrorists win,” Americans must begin looking seriously at what the continuation of Republican majorities in ...
U.S. seeks to silence terror suspect

By MATT APUZZO, Associated Press Writer1 hour, 46 minutes ago A suspected terrorist who spent years in a secret CIA prison should not be allowed to speak to a civilian attorney, the Bush administration argues, because he could reveal the agency's closely guarded interrogation techniques. Human rights groups have questioned the CIA's methods for questioning suspects, especially following the passage of a bill last month that authorized the use of harsh — but undefined — interrogation tactics. In recently filed court documents, the Justice Department said those methods, along with the locations of the CIA's network of prisons, are among the nation's most sensitive secrets. ...

Text of editorial calling for Rumsfeld to go Publications catering to the military will call Monday for secretary’s ouster MSNBC Updated: 1 hour, 12 minutes ago This editorial will appear in the Army Times, Air Force Times, Navy Times and Marine Corps Times on Monday under the headline “Time for Rumsfeld to go”: "So long as our government requires the backing of an aroused and informed public opinion ... it is necessary to tell the hard bruising truth." That statement was written by Pulitzer Prize-winning war correspondent Marguerite Higgins more than a half-century ago during the Korean War. But until recently, the "hard bruising" truth about the ...

Joe Wilson: "There are no tinfoil hats anymore." by Brainwrap Thu Nov 02, 2006 at 09:17:50 PM PST NOTE: I posted a much shorter diary about this event late last night. Unfortunately, due (I presume) to the brevity of the diary and the lateness of the hour, it didn't get much attention before being shoved off the list. I expanded it this morning, and several of those who read it indicated that it had become significant enough to recommend...but it was too late by then. I've decided to re-post the full, complete diary in the hopes of it getting a second look. Hope I'm not coming off as being egotistical; I just think some of this is truly of interest. Last night I attended a ...
New Battle Over Executive Privilege Is Looming in Washington

A new executive privilege battle is looming in Washington as a federal appeals court considers whether to intervene in an election-eve dispute over records of visitors to Vice President Cheney's home at the Naval Observatory, as well as his offices in the White House complex. Last month, a federal judge in Washington, Ricardo Urbina, ordered the Secret Service to disclose two years of visitor logs to the Washington Post immediately or explain in detail why the records are exempt from release under the Freedom of Information Act. The Justice Department has asked the U.S. Court of Appeals to block Judge Urbina's order to allow the parties to present more extensive legal arguments about the ...
Ex-Judges: Detainee Law Unconstitutional

November 2, 2006, 2:39 AM EST WASHINGTON -- Seven retired federal judges from both political parties have joined dozens of Guantanamo Bay detainees in urging an appeals court to declare key parts of President Bush's new anti-terrorism law unconstitutional. The judges, in a rare court filing Wednesday, said stripping courts of the right to question how the military handles terrorism suspects "challenges the integrity of our judicial system" and effectively sanctions the use of torture. Bush signed a law this month allowing the military to arrest people overseas and detain them indefinitely without allowing them to use the U.S. courts to contest their detention. Bush ...

Neo-Conservatives: They’re Hot, They’re Rising, They’re Linked to the State by Daniel M. Ryan by Daniel M. Ryan DIGG THIS Now that the Republican majorities in the House and Senate are in doubt, the sheen is likely to come off the neo-conservative movement. Like any faction that runs into a rock, their status as the "ultimate winners," or even their own conceit that they are the "new upper class," is going to come into doubt. The sword that you live by hurts a lot more when it’s stuck into you. (Remember the fate of J.P. Morgan, Jr.? Rightly or wrongly, it's an unfair world.) What do neo-conservatives want? What are their political goals? Are they ...

Washington Bus Driver Fired for Giving President the Bird Wednesday, November 01, 2006 ISSAQUAH, Wash. — A school bus driver who was fired for "flipping off" President George W. Bush is trying to get her job back. The 43-year-old has filed a union grievance against the district, claiming wrongful termination. U.S. Rep. Dave Reichert said the obscene gesture occurred as he was traveling in the president's limo in June on the way to a fundraiser in Medina. At a freeway ramp the limo passed several Issaquah school buses. The students waved to the president and Bush waved back. Bush was having a good time until he saw the driver, Reichert said. Bush turned to Reichert and ...

Unhinged George W. Bush just gave the most powerful reason for voting Democratic next Tuesday. He has reiterated unconditional support for the two architects of the chaos in Iraq, Cheney and Rumsfeld. He intends to keep Rumsfeld in his job until 2008! Why not a medal of freedom while he's at it? Let me put this kindly: anyone who believes that Donald Rumsfeld has done a "fantastic job" in Iraq is out of his mind. The fact that such a person is president of the United States is beyond disturbing. But then this is the man who told Michael Brown he was doing a "heckuva job." And, yes, our Iraq policy begins to look uncannily like the Katrina response. The president, in ...

Critical congresswoman lands on no-fly list POSTED: 11:50 a.m. EST, October 31, 2006 SANTA ANA, California (AP) -- A California congresswoman said she was briefly denied access to a United Airlines flight last week because her name appeared on a "no-fly list" set up after the September 11 terrorist attacks. Rep. Loretta Sanchez, a Democrat who has been a critic of the no-fly list, said her staff booked her a one-way ticket from Boise, Idaho, to Cincinnati, Ohio, through Denver, Colorado. But they were prevented from printing her boarding pass online and at an airport kiosk. Sanchez said she was instructed to check in with a United employee, who told her she was on the ...

It appears that hell has finally frozen over. The extent of the US government's illegal conduct--its lying, scheming, cheating, torture, murder, sexual escapades, and covering up of criminal activities--is finally surfacing and it is breaking through the once calm, sleepy, uninformed U.S. like the tip of an iceberg from hell. Americans all over the country are now wondering when and how the government of the United States became the very thing that the Founding Fathers loathed and despised: a malignant government that is brutal, feared, drunk with power, secretive, completely unaccountable, negligent and dishonest to the hilt. We have been heading in this direction since 1913, but under ...

The Crimes Of Greed Vs The Crimes Of Government If Enron's Skilling Gets 24 Years In Prison, How Many Should Bush And Cheney Get? By Paul Craig Roberts 10-28-6 During my professional lifetime, liberals and the left-wing have focused on failures and misdeeds of the private sector, while libertarians and conservatives have focused on the failures and misdeeds of the public sector or government. It turns out that both sides are right. The Enron case and the other accounting scandals of this new century are testimony to misdeeds driven by private sector greed, just as the unjustifiable war in Iraq is testimony to the abusive behavior of government. Justice demands that we be always on guard ...

MADISON, Wis. (AP) -- From the pedestrian to the profane, costumed college students and others roamed downtown Saturday in an annual weekend party that in recent years has ended with drunken mayhem and police spraying pepper gas. But this year, with new constraints in place - including ticket sales for the first time - police were estimating a far smaller crowd than the more than 80,000 that jammed State Street last year. As of 10 p.m. Saturday, 88 people had been arrested, mostly for alcohol-related offenses, police said. At the same time last year, more than 230 people had been arrested. Judging by ticket sales, which have been sluggish, Madison Police Chief Noble Wray estimated the ...

No Conservative Party by Charley Reese by Charley Reese DIGG THIS The Republican Party is not now, never was and never will be a conservative party. It is what it has always been – a representative of the rich and of big business. It might have become a conservative party in 1964, when Barry Goldwater was nominated as the presidential candidate. The Rockefeller wing of the party, to which the Bush family has always been a part, conducted the most vicious character assassination campaign against Goldwater in modern political history. The liberal Rockefellerites preferred a crook from Texas to a conservative. The Rockefeller wing never lost control of the party again, co-opting ...

Cheney under attack for backing 'drowning' torture By Rupert Cornwell in Washington Published: 28 October 2006 The US Vice-President, Dick Cheney, was at the centre of new controversy yesterday after remarks in a radio interview in which he appeared to support "water-boarding" - a torture technique banned by the Pentagon and under international law. Speaking with a talk show host at Tuesday's "open day" on the White House lawn, Mr Cheney - long an advocate of unfettered interrogation techniques by the CIA - agreed that "a dunk in water" for terrorist suspects was a "no-brainer" if it could save lives. The proposition was put to him by Scott ...

Bush Moves Toward Martial Law Frank Morales October 26, 2006 In a stealth maneuver, President Bush has signed into law a provision which, according to Senator Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont), will actually encourage the President to declare federal martial law (1). It does so by revising the Insurrection Act, a set of laws that limits the President's ability to deploy troops within the United States. The Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C.331 -335) has historically, along with the Posse Comitatus Act (18 U.S.C.1385), helped to enforce strict prohibitions on military involvement in domestic law enforcement. With one cloaked swipe of his pen, Bush is seeking to undo those prohibitions. Public Law 10 ...

Neocon Academics: Constitution is a “Suicide Pact” Wednesday October 25th 2006, 12:07 pm It should come as no surprise Sanford Levinson, professor at the University of Texas School of Law, mistrusts the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, as he has little idea of what the document stands for. It is not surprising, as Levinson hobnobs with the Federalist Society, the “conservative” legal association funded lavishly by the CIA asset Richard Mellon Scaife. As well, the Federalist Society received seed funding from Irving Kristol, the grand daddy of the neocon cabal, and his son, Bill Kristol, the neocon voice of Fox News, is connected at the hip to the Federalist ...
