Mike McIntire and Michael Luo, The New York Times News Service: ''There has been a rising debate over the ascendancy of super PACs, which operate free of the contribution limits imposed on the candidates but are supposed to remain independent of them. In practice, super PACs have become a way for candidates to bypass the limits by steering rich donors to these ostensibly independent groups, which function almost as adjuncts of the campaigns.''

Super Donors: A Guide to the Top Ten Super PAC Givers

Ariel Wittenberg, ProPublica: ''The coming election cycle will likely be the most expensive in history. Thanks to Citizens United and other recent court decisions, individuals, corporations and unions can make unlimited donations to so-called super PACs that support a candidate. The money is flowing in. So, exactly who is donating, and what do they want?"

Corporate Campaign Spending: They Get What They Pay for

Salvatore Babones, Truthout: ''Why would corporations want to influence elections? The answer is simple. It pays. In a January 2011 article in the Journal of Management, University of Tennessee Business Professor Russell Crook found that corporate political activity has a significantly positive effect on company performance measured using return on investment, return on assets and government-derived revenues.''

Pat Garofalo, ThinkProgress: "Corporate profits have made it back to their pre-recession heights (even if corporate tax revenue hasn t followed suit). In fact, in 2011, corporate profits hit their highest level since 1950. But as Bloomberg News noted today, this hasn t translated into wage growth or more purchasing power for workers.... Between 2009 and 2011, 88 percent of national income growth went to corporate profits, while just 1 percent went to wages.''

Guantanamo Detainees Who Cooperate With Government Could Be Removed From Indefinite Detention List, Repatriated, Defense Lawyers Told

Jason Leopold, Truthout: ''There are still 171 detainees imprisoned at Guantanamo. More than half have already been cleared for release. Thirty-six are expected to face war crimes charges and the remainder were deemed by the Obama administration as being too dangerous to release or too difficult to prosecute because the evidence against them is tainted due to the fact that they were tortured.''

Simon Johnson, Project Syndicate: ''The main motivation behind the administration s indulgence of serious criminality evidently is fear of the consequences of taking tough action on individual bankers. And maybe officials are right to be afraid, given the massive size of the banks in question relative to the economy. In fact, those banks are bigger now than they were before the crisis.''
