Torture and the CIA

The American Conservative
by Philip Giraldi

05/23/12

Hard Measures: How Aggressive CIA Actions After 9/11 Saved American Lives is largely a defense of [author Jose] Rodriguez s role in the CIA s use of torture on suspected terrorists in the aftermath of 9/11. Rodriguez argues that what he describes as 'enhanced interrogation techniques' were necessary to obtain information on terrorist activities. His employment of the euphemism underscores his argument that these procedures were found to be legal by Bush administration lawyers and that they do not constitute torture, which is a war crime...

Update On NDAA And Drones Flying Over The US

by Pastor Chuck Baldwin

In a stunning upset for the Obama administration and big-government zealots in general, a federal judge in New York has issued an injunction against the citizen detention portion of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). Bob Unruh at World Net Daily has the story. ''A district-court judge has suspended enforcement of a law that could strip U.S. citizens of their civil rights and allow indefinite detention of individuals President Obama believes to be in support of terror.

U.S. expands secret intelligence operations in Africa

At the heart of the surveillance operations are small, unarmed turboprop aircraft disguised as private planes. Equipped with hidden sensors that can record full-motion video, track infrared heat patterns, and vacuum up radio and cellphone signals, the planes refuel on isolated airstrips favored by African bush pilots, extending their effective flight range by thousands of miles.

A year ago, Paul was the presumed least-likely-to-succeed candidate in the GOP field. His radical libertarian bent and his fervent opposition to the GOP s standard foreign policy positions made him seem anathema to the party s primary base. ... Now, Paul is still the last man standing in opposition to Romney and far from fading, his fortunes both within the party and within the culture are rising...

Romney Has Public and Private Morality Upside Down

Robert Reich, Robert Reich s Blog: ''[Romney has] private and public morality upside down. He doesn t want to regulate where regulation is necessary, at the highest reaches of the economy, where public immorality has cost us dearly, and will cost even more unless boardroom behavior is constrained. Yet he wants to regulate where regulation is least appropriate, at the level of the individual, in bedrooms and other intimate spaces, where private morality should govern.''
