Indiscriminate use of drones in Middle East causes too many civilian casualties, warns former CIA counterterrorism head.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2012/jun/05/al-qaida-drone-attacks-too-broad



First the 'targeted killing' campaign, then the targeted propaganda campaign

Officially, the CIA insists its drone war is a state secret, yet we re now seeing a concerted PR effort to sanitise its dubious legality.

CIA gets nod to step up drone strikes in Pakistan

Expressing both public and private frustration with Pakistan, the Obama administration has unleashed the CIA to resume an aggressive campaign of drone strikes in Pakistani territory over the last few weeks, approving strikes that might have been vetoed in the past for fear of angering Islamabad.

American Empire: the Feature Film

By Ron Jacobs

Most people who live in the United States have little or no concept of what an empire is and, when explained to them, are reluctant to believe that their nation is such a thing.

Downsize DC
by Jim Babka

06/05/12

The Authorization to Use Military Force (AUMF) was passed shortly after the 9/11 attacks in 2001. Many in Congress thought it would be used against Al Qaeda, the terrorist organization alleged to have been behind the attacks. One member of Congress, Barbara Lee, voted against it, predicting the AUMF would be justified for endless war and lawless Presidential power. She was right. Now, she has a bill that would repeal the AUMF outright...

America: Drugged Up, Dumbed Down

The dogs of war are barking in the backyard and some deranged minds seem determined to swing open the gates, again. At the same time, the American people, the only ones who can stop the savagery, are saddled with long-term debt, deficits and depression.

Why Americans Must End America s Self-Generating Wars

By Peter Dale Scott

The most urgent political challenge to the world today is how to prevent the so-called ''pax Americana'' from progressively degenerating, like the 19th-century so-called ''pax Britannica'' before it, into major global warfare.

Subhankar Banerjee, Climate Story Tellers: ''What do Arctic drilling and drone killing have in common? They are both being decided by Barack Obama without public debate.... Obama got personally involved and fast-tracked Shell s drilling permits. According to Foreign Policy magazine, 'Barack Obama has become George W. Bush on steroids.' The article makes this reference with regard to Obama s drone killing, but perhaps a similar thing could be said about his Arctic drilling that we must condemn.''

EE-Gesetz 2012? Diskussion über Chancen und Gefahren

Seit Inkrafttreten des Erneuerbare-Energie-Gesetzes 2012 (EEG 2012) zu Jahresbeginn gibt es immer wieder kritische Stimmen zu den Beschlüssen. Vor allem Unternehmen, die in der täglichen Praxis Biomasse(heiz)kraftwerke mit Materialien der Einsatzstoff-vergütungsklasse II beliefern, sehen sich mit neuen Anforderungen konfrontiert und müssen diesen gerecht werden. Materialdefinitionen und ein umfangreicher Herkunftsnachweis erschweren jedoch die Abläufe.

Scheinheilige Debatte um das Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz EEG

Das Erneuerbare-Energien-Gesetz (EEG) und sein Vorläufer, das Einspeisegesetz von 1991, zählen zu den erfolgreichsten Gesetzen, die der deutsche Gesetzgeber geschaffen hat.
