Democratic Senators Issue Strong Warning About Use of the Patriot Act

By Charlie Savage

A handful of Democrats on the Senate intelligence committee have warned that the government is secretly interpreting its surveillance powers under the Patriot Act in a way that would be alarming if the public, or even others in Congress, knew about it.

Total Information Awareness: Sweeping New Surveillance Measures Approved in US

Charlie Savage, The New York Times News Service: ''The Obama administration is moving to relax restrictions on how counterterrorism analysts may retrieve, store and search information about Americans gathered by government agencies for purposes other than national security threats.... The guidelines will lengthen to five years, from 180 days, the amount of time the center can retain private information about Americans when there is no suspicion that they are tied to terrorism, intelligence officials said.''

Robert Reich, Robert Reich s Blog: ''As I have noted before, oil supplies aren t being squeezed. Over 80 percent of America s energy needs are now being satisfied by domestic supplies. But Wall Street is betting on higher oil prices in the future - and that betting is causing prices to rise. These bets are pushing up oil prices because Wall Street firms and other big financial players now dominate oil trading.''

Big oil, big government, and big hypocrisy

Libertarian Alliance
by Kevin Carson

03/19/12

It s interesting that politicians who so tirelessly proclaim their opposition to government meddling in the economy, and deny the effectiveness of such meddling, would express such hubris on the ability of activist government to solve an economic problem. Not only do these people fail to understand the nature of the problem they are promising to fix, but the promised fix itself is chock full of government intervention...

Occupy Wall Street Has Told You So

J.A. Myerson, Truthout: ''The police were very careful to block all entrances to Goldman Sachs' global headquarters, which the march's route passed. As always, they caught an earful from the protesters whose point they were demonstrating. 'Your back is turned to the real crooks,' one protester harangued. Another piped up, 'You should be protecting us from them, not protecting them from us.''

Michael Winship, Moyers & Co.: ''Inspector General David Montoya said, 'I believe the reports we just released will leave the reader asking one question: how could so many people have participated in this misconduct?

Occupy Your Constitution

Camilo A. Ramirez and Marcus Michelsen, Truthout: ''We, the people, the fourth branch of government, are in a race against the clock to establish explicit constitutional safeguards against our government's aggression. By wielding both the accusation of terrorism and the remedy against it, the executive branch has taken over the role of creating the legal regime through which it operates.''

Four Years After Wall Street Crash, Regulation of Financial Markets Is Still Spotty

Kevin G. Hall, McClatchy Newspapers: ''Almost four years after America s financial near-collapse, regulators are now empowered to police financial markets as never before. Yet some of the most important rules to curb Wall Street s bad behavior have yet to take effect and could be watered down.... [O]nly about 33 percent of the new rules to rein in Wall Street are in force, according to the Davis Polk law firm, which specializes in regulation and puts out a monthly report on Dodd-Frank.''

Obama targets journalists

Salon
by Jesselyn Raddack

04/09/12

While the Bush administration treated whistleblowers unmercifully, the Obama administration has been far worse. It is actually prosecuting them, and doing so under the Espionage Act, one of the most serious charges that can be leveled against an American. The Espionage Act is an archaic World War I-era law meant to go after spies, not whistleblowers. Strangely, using it to target the media and sources is the brainchild of neo-conservative Gabriel Schoenfeld, who would have sources who disclose information to reporters, journalists who then write about it for newspapers, the newspapers that publish the information and the publisher itself all be held criminally liable...
