Jason Leopold, Truthout: "On January 25, 2002, then-White House counsel Alberto Gonzales advised George W. Bush in a memo to deny al-Qaeda and Taliban prisoners protections under the Geneva Conventions because doing so would 'substantially reduces the threat of domestic criminal prosecution under the War Crimes Act' and 'provide a solid defense to any future prosecution.' Two weeks later, Bush signed an action memorandum dated February 7, 2002, addressed to Vice President Dick Cheney, which denied baseline protections to al-Qaeda and Taliban prisoners under the Third Geneva Convention."

A mobile phone mast could be erected near a Northumberland school following a blunder by the county council.

The authority refused consent for the mast, just yards from Darras Hall First School, but failed to notify Telefonica O2 within the required 56 days.

As a result the 41ft (12.5m) mast could now be installed by default.

The council said there was an oversight in the interpretation of regulations, and that discussions were ongoing to try to agree an alternative site.

David A. Fahrenthold, The Washington Post: "Man-made climate change is already lifting temperatures, increasing rainfall, and raising sea levels around the United States -- and its effects are on track to get much worse in the coming century, according to a report released this afternoon by federal scientists. The report, 'Global Climate Change Impacts in the United States,' covers much of the same ground as previous analyses from US and United Nations science panels. It finds that greenhouse-gas emissions are 'primarily' responsible for global warming and that rapid action is needed to avert catastrophic shifts in water, heat and natural life."

Anlässlich der Mitteilungen des DGB zum Missbrauch bei Ein-Euro Jobs erklärt Katja Kipping, stellvertretende Vorsitzende der LINKEN:

Schön, dass es nun auch dem DGB am Beispiel der Ein-Euro-Jobs aufgefallen ist, welche katastrophalen Auswirkungen die Hartz-Gesetzgebung hat. Dabei ist schon seit langem bekannt, dass viele Ein-Euro-Jobs keineswegs mehr zusätzlich und im öffentlichen Interesse sind, sondern reguläre Beschäftigung verdrängen. Ein Großteil der Ein-Euro-Jobber führt die gleichen Tätigkeiten aus, wie festangestellten Mitarbeiterinnen und Mitarbeiter – allerdings eben zu mieser Bezahlung. Das Instrument, welches einst Langzeitarbeitslosen eine vermeintliche Perspektive auf dem Arbeitsmarkt eröffnen sollte, wird mittlerweile breit eingesetzt, zum einen aus purer Hilflosigkeit der Arbeitsvermittler und nicht zuletzt auch, um auch die Arbeitslosenstatistiken zu schönen. Wir als LINKE fordern die Bundesregierung nochmals nachdrücklich dazu auf, nicht zu versuchen, einige Teile der Hartz-Gesetzgebung zu verschlimmbessern, sondern das ganze Paket gehört komplett in die Tonne. Stattdessen muss ein öffentlich geförderter Beschäftigungssektor eingerichtet werden, wo sozialversicherungspflichtige, rechtlich abgesicherte und freiwillige Beschäftigungsverhältnisse zu existenzsichernden Löhnen für gesellschaftlich notwendige Arbeit geschaffen werden. Das kostet kaum mehr als Ein-Euro-Jobs, wenn die Mittel für das Arbeitslosengeld II, für die Unterkunftskosten sowie für die Ein-Euro-Jobs selbst dazu genutzt werden – bietet aber den Betroffenen endlich eine wirkliche Perspektive.

America and Torture Have a Long and Painful History

Ben Ehrenreich, The Los Angeles Times: "Perhaps we protest too much. Torture, after all, is a venerable American tradition. We were waterboarding captives in one of our earliest wars of occupation, the Philippine-American War, which cost as many as 1 million civilian lives. In 1902, Teddy Roosevelt himself wrote with laconic praise of 'the old Filipino method.'"

Are You Ready For War With Demonized Iran?

By Paul Craig Roberts

How much attention do elections in Japan, India, Argentina, or any other country, get from the US media? How many Americans and American journalists even know who is in political office in other countries besides England, France, and Germany? Who can name the political leaders of Switzerland, Holland, Brazil, Japan, or even China? Yet, many know of Iran's President Ahmadinejad. The reason is obvious. He is daily demonized in the US media.

From the beginning of the H1N1 swine flu outbreak, WHO’s decisions and pronouncements have been far from reassuring. Most flu and public health experts consider WHO to have been overly alarmist, and that their decision during the week of April 27 to raise the pandemic flu threat to the penultimate level, Phase 5, ‘Pandemic Imminent,’ far outpaced the data that had accumulated and was unwarranted. Even worse was their official declaration of a pandemic, which illustrates that WHO’s fundamental paradigm is flawed: A warning system based solely on how widely a virus has spread but that does not consider the nature of the illness it causes is prone to false positives; it would classify as ‘pandemics’ not only seasonal flu but also the frequent but largely inconsequential outbreaks of virus-caused colds and gastroenteritis, for example. It makes the term almost meaningless...

Much of the discussion to date about health care reform has understandably focused on the contents of the reform plan itself.

While we won’t know for certain until we see the final bill, it looks like the answer is going to be higher — much higher — taxes. And many if not most of those taxes will fall squarely on the middle class...

With Dick Cheney and the infamous torture memos making headlines, President Obama and our nation face a choice. Should they prosecute or protect those responsible for the torture of detainees in secret CIA detention centers? If our leaders wish to steer our country back to the right side of the law, they must act immediately and unequivocally to prosecute. The problem is that leading senators want the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence to complete its investigation into the treatment and interrogation of detainees (which could take between four and six months), before any prosecution is launched. Yet such a delay would potentially risk running out the clock on certain types of prosecution...

The argument Brennan made against release of the CIA torture memos is the same argument made to justify suppression of the torture photos: namely, ‘that exposing such details could spark an anti-American backlash.’ Precisely because Obama has retained so many people involved with or otherwise linked to Bush abuses, he is surrounded by people actively working to block any investigation into or accountability for those crimes. The most egregious example Mayer describes is the CIA official responsible for the abduction and rendition-for-torture of German citizen Khaled el-Masri, who turned out to be completely innocent …
