*Bundesregierung und Bundeswehr sind auch in diesem Jahr wieder die tragenden Säulen der sogenannten Münchner Sicherheitskonferenz, die am Freitag beginnt. Auf Anfrage der Linksfraktion teilte die Bundesregierung mit, das Presse- und Informationsamt sponsere die Veranstaltung mit 350000 Euro. Das ist ein Drittel der mit 1,15 Millionen Euro veranschlagten Gesamtkosten des Treffens, das in diesem Jahr zum 50. Mal stattfindet. Nicht in dieser Rechnung enthalten ist die Unterstützung durch 330 Soldaten der Bundeswehr. Jeweils 120 Soldaten kommen bei der Organisation und bei den Fahrdiensten zum Einsatz, weitere assistieren bei der Presse- und Öffentlichkeitsarbeit und beim Dolmetschen. 50 Feldjäger übernehmen den Personen- und Begleitschutz.

Republicans creating their worst nightmare

The American Prospect
by Jamelle Bouie

01/15/13

Two years ago, when S&P downgraded the credit rating of the United States, they didn t cite our debt or our spending. Instead, they knocked our political system, and in particular, the dysfunction and institutional creakiness that made a debt-ceiling stand-off possible: 'The downgrade reflects our view that the effectiveness, stability, and predictability of American policymaking and political institutions have weakened at a time of ongoing fiscal and economic challenge,' said the company in a statement released that summer. We are just two weeks into 2013, but it s already clear that the 'effectiveness, stability, and predictability' of our institutions is in question...

Brennan for CIA Head: Embracing the legacy of torture

The American Prospect
by Scott Lemieux

01/14/13

Less than a month after Barack Obama was elected in 2008, John Brennan withdrew himself from consideration for head of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) because of opposition from liberals, which centered on his role as chief of staff to CIA director George Tenet when the Bush administration's arbitrary detention and torture programs were being developed. It is particularly depressing, then, that Obama has done as a safely re-elected incumbent what he felt he could not do in his first term: Nominate Brennan as head of the CIA. The fact that Brennan has been nominated despite his support for some of the worst abuses of the post-9/11 security state demonstrates the appalling extent to which many of these practices have become institutionalized, as well as the political weakness of defenders of civil liberties...
