The torture trials at Guantanamo

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Andy Worthington

04/19/12

[N]ot only is the use of torture illegal, but information derived through its use cannot be used in U.S. courts. To get around the first inconvenience, Bush s lawyers arranged for torture to be redefined, and, to overcome the second, the Bush administration initially brought the military commissions out of retirement with the intention that the prohibition on torture could be ignored. ... The Obama administration?s revival of the commissions faced profound criticism from those who had served in Bush s military commissions, from Lt. Col. Darrel Vandeveld and Maj. David Frakt, for example, but the administration pressed on regardless...

Obama, Bush testimony sought in 9/11 case at Gitmo

Biloxi Sun Herald

05/23/12

Defense lawyers in the Sept. 11 case at Guantanamo are seeking the testimony of former President George W. Bush and President Barack Obama in a motion to dismiss charges, according to a legal motion released Wednesday. Lawyers for three of the five defendants charged with planning and helping carry out the attacks say the charges should be dismissed because Bush, Obama and other top officials have made many statements that could influence potential jurors in their eventual trial before a special tribunal known as a military commission, according to the motion...

9/11 defense attorneys denounce Guantanamo court system as 'rigged,' 'unjust'

''These men have endured years of inhumane treatment and torture'' that will ''infect every aspect of this military commission tribunal,'' attorney James Connell III warned. The Navy s top lawyer on Sept. 11, 2001, declared Sunday, ''I am convinced more than ever that this belongs in federal court.''

Guantanamo Scandal: The 40 Prisoners Still Held, but Cleared for Release at Least Five Years Ago

Andy Worthington, Andy Worthington's Blog: ''One of the greatest injustices at Guantanamo is that, of the 169 prisoners still held, over half, 87 in total, were cleared for release by President Obama s interagency Guantanamo Review Task Force. The Task Force involved around 60 career officials from various government departments and the intelligence agencies, who spent the first year of the Obama Presidency reviewing the cases of all the remaining prisoners in Guantanamo, to decide whether they should be tried, released, or, in some cases, held indefinitely without charge or trial.''

Guantanamo Attorney: Supreme Court s Refusal to Hear Habeas Cases Invalidates Landmark 2008 Ruling

Jason Leopold, Truthout: ''Now what? That s the question attorneys who represent Guantanamo detainees are asking after the Supreme Court on Monday refused to consider the appeals of seven prisoners, who petitioned the justices to review decisions in their habeas cases made by a conservative appeals court. The decision flies in the face of the court s 2008 landmark ruling in Boumediene v. Bush, which granted detainees a 'meaningful opportunity' to challenge their detentions.''

Hope Dies at Guantanamo

Marjorie Cohn, The Jurist: ''Of the 800 men and boys held at Guantanamo since 2002, 169 remain. Of those prisoners, 87 have had their release approved by military review boards established during the Bush administration, and later by the Guantanamo Review Task Force established by President Obama in 2009. Yet they continue to languish in the prison camp.''

Truthout FOIA Exposes Forceful Drugging of Detainees

Alyona Minkovski, The Alyona Show: ''For years, current and former detainees from Guantanamo and other US military sites, as well as their attorneys, have argued that they were forcibly given pills and injected with unknown medications.... And now, thanks to a Freedom of Information Act Request filed by Truthout, a report from the DOD s deputy inspector general has confirmed much of it. Alyona Minkovsky talks to Jason Leopold, lead investigative reporter for Truthout.org about what the FOIA exposed.''

Collateral insanity in Afghanistan

In These Times
by Terry J. Allen

04/18/12

The war in Afghanistan has taken a devastating toll on mental health from depression to suicide, domestic violence to murderous rampages. And financial and family strains, as well as attempts at self-medication, have exacerbated the casualty count. ... Many Afghans, blameless in ways that volunteer soldiers never can be, have been pushed past sanity by violence; by becoming refugees or internally displaced; and by losing family, culture, educational opportunities, professions, houses, rights and hope...

It is creating a humanitarian catastrophe for the people of Afghanistan.' It s also a lost cause. Pentagon commanders know it. So does Lt. Colonel Daniel Davis. In an unclassified report and more detailed classified one, he explained ongoing disastrous conditions. From his own firsthand observations and what others told him, he concluded that America s war failed. It can t be won...

Occupy the Courts: Corporate Personhood Reconsidered

Stephen F. Diamond, Dissent Magazine: ''The Occupy movement was widely lampooned by critics for failing to bring forward a coherent set of demands. But a random survey of participants in the protests that spread across the country late last year would likely turn up a large number who agree that ending the recognition of corporations as legal 'persons' is a critically needed reform. Ballot measures in Boulder, Colorado and Madison, Wisconsin calling for an end to corporate personhood passed last year.''

Dahr Jamail, Al Jazeera English: ''Gulf of Mexico fishermen, scientists and seafood processors have told Al Jazeera they are finding disturbing numbers of mutated shrimp, crab and fish that they believe are deformed by chemicals released during BP's 2010 oil disaster. Along with collapsing fisheries, signs of malignant impact on the regional ecosystem are ominous: horribly mutated shrimp, fish with oozing sores, underdeveloped blue crabs lacking claws, eyeless crabs and shrimp and interviewees' fingers point towards BP s oil pollution disaster as being the cause.''

BP Blamed for Ongoing Health Problems

Dahr Jamail, Al Jazeera English: ''The 4.9 million barrels of oil spilled into the Gulf last year was the largest accidental marine oil spill in history, affecting people living near the coasts of Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida. Seemingly compounding the problem, BP has admitted to using at least 1.9 million gallons of toxic dispersants, which are banned by many countries, including the UK. According to many scientists, these dispersants create an even more toxic substance when mixed with crude oil.''

Cloud Working im Trend: Die traurigen Tagelöhner

''Der neue Trend in der Arbeitswelt heißt Cloud Working: Firmen heuern projektbezogen Selbstständige im Internet an. Feste Mitarbeiter müssen gehen. Wie sehr das Prinzip Cloud Working ganze Unternehmensstrukturen verändern kann, zeigt sich beim Technologiekonzern IBM. Im Februar wurde bekannt, dass der amerikanische IT-Konzern, der den Abbau von 8000 Arbeitsplätzen in Deutschland angekündigt hat, verstärkt auf ''Cloudworking'' setzen möchte. Crowdsourcing heißt die Methode, von der immer mehr Unternehmen Gebrauch machen. Eine besondere Herausforderung stellt das Qualitätsmanagement. Eine Forschungsgruppe, die von IBM gefördert wird, soll deshalb bis Mai ''skalierbare Qualitätsmanagementmechanismen'' entwickeln. Die Zukunft liegt in der Wolke, der digitalen ''Cloud'', sagen daher die Unternehmer?'' Artikel von Holger Marcks in der taz vom

The kill list of Barack Obama

CounterPunch
by Ray McGovern

05/31/12

After ten years of ecclesiastical silence regarding the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, it would be a cop-out, pure and simple, to expect the leaders of the institutional 'Christian' churches in the United States to act any differently from the way the German churches did during the Thirties in Germany. Americans can no longer in good conscience expect bold action for true justice from the largely domesticated clergy; nor can we use that feckless expectation as an excuse to do nothing ourselves...

Protestbewegung Occupy: Harvard Entzauberung des amerikanischen Traums

''Klausurvorbereitungen können warten, die Revolution nicht: Mit dem Frühling und den Protesten in den internationalen Finanzzentren erwacht auch an der besten Universität der Welt der Widerstand gegen den Finanzkapitalismus. Obwohl sich der Kern der Bewegung auf ein paar Dutzend Mitglieder reduziert, hat keine andere Universitätsbesetzung in den USA so viel Aufsehen erregt wie Occupy Harvard. Der Protest der Studenten ist bedeutsam, schließlich ist die Hochschule die Kaderschmiede der amerikanischen Hochfinanz?''

''Europa droht eine Explosion der Ungleichheit''

James Galbraith im FTD-Gespräch

Europa steht vor neuen Verwerfungen, befürchtet der US-Ökonom James Galbraith. Er sieht eine wachsende Kluft in der EU und massenhafte Armutsmigration. Artikel von Martin Kaelble und Mathias Ohanian in der FTD online vom 15.04.2012 http://www.ftd.de/politik/international/:james-galbraith-im-ftd-gespraech-europa-droht-eine-explosion-der-ungleichheit/70022922.html

Aus dem Text: ''? ''Wer in den reichen Länder glaubt, man könne den sozialen Konsequenzen entkommen, der irrt sich gewaltig'', so Galbraith. ''Die Geschichte hat immer wieder gezeigt: Wenn die Peripherie einer Wirtschaftseinheit derartigen Niedergang verzeichnet, hat das soziale und wirtschaftliche Konsequenzen auch für die Kernregion.'' (?) Galbraith schlägt radikale Maßnahmen vor. ''Kurzfristig braucht man vor allem drei Dinge: Gemeinsame europäische Anleihen, eine kraftvolle Investmentinitiative, zum Beispiel über die Europäische Investitionsbank (EIB), sowie eine Europäisierung der Finanzregulierung.'' Man müsse wegkommen von national unterschiedlichen Bankenregeln. ''Diese drei Dinge könnten im Prinzip sehr schnell umgesetzt werden und würden schnell die Lage stabilisieren.'' Der Amerikaner schlägt dann weitere Schritte vor: ''Eine gemeinsame europäische Pensionsunion wäre eine gute Sache, also angeglichene Rentenstandards in ganz Europa?''

Divide and conquer: A government agenda

LewRockwell.com
by Gary D. Barnett

04/14/12

Rulers, whether elected or not, fully understand the importance of using fear tactics and the illusion of safety as weapons against the people. The desired effect is to at once purposely intimidate the population at large, while allowing for a state manufactured rescue. The result is an acceptance by the citizenry of less freedom for an imagined safety. To achieve these ends, the state has to create false enemies. In order for this strategy to be successful, one individual has to be pitted against another; one group against another group; one nation against another nation, and so the deception goes...

Veteran Suicides: A Predictable Epidemic

Rae Abileah, AlterNet: ''Last month I was riding BART to SF and read a statistic in TIME: 18 veterans die by suicide every day, that s one every 80 minutes. As the subway pulled up to my stop, I saw a large poster advertising the Out of the Darkness Overnight Walk to break the silence about depression and suicide. Then a couple of weeks later, Newsweek ran a feature story on veteran suicide.... So now that our troops are actually coming home from Iraq, many are killing themselves. Why?''

Novelist Uses Fiction to Depict War s True Aftermath

Eleanor J. Bader, Truthout: ''Kristin Hannah s twentieth book, the novel 'Home Front,' zooms in on the aftermath of war by telling a deceptively simple story. In it, Jolene Zarkades, a member of the National Guard and a wife and mother of two, is called to Iraq. The narrative not only charts her 2005 deployment to Balat, but also describes her life in country. It further chronicles her return home after devastating arm, leg and facial injuries, compounded by PTSD, make it impossible for her to continue fighting.''
