Lobbyists Skirt Disclosures on Stimulus Lobbying

Olga Pierce and Brian Boyer, ProPublica: "We know that, like any giant pot of government money, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act attracted lobbyists' interest. Lobbyists have long been required to give Congress quarterly disclosure reports outlining their lobbying efforts. In the latest quarterly reports, no less than 871 lobbyists indicated lobbying on the stimulus. But only 12 of those lobbyists appear in the filings that agencies are now required to post online almost immediately after they speak to a lobbyist."

Cheney, Patron Saint of Torture-Free

Steve Weissman, Truthout: "'Hitler gave anti-Semitism a bad name,' as many high-born Europeans used to say, yearning for the good old days when all right-thinking people could disparage Jews in public. Former Vice President Dick Cheney is similarly giving torture an odious reputation, all in his zeal to prove himself the rightest thinking guy in America."
