FBI serves Grand Jury subpoena likely relating to WikiLeaks

So appears clear that the DOJ is strongly considering an indictment under the Espionage Act -- an act that would be radical indeed for non-government-employees doing nothing other than what American newspapers do on a daily basis (and have repeatedly done in partnership with WikiLeaks).

Obama s Inconsistency Doctrine on the Arab Spring

By P.J. Crowley

Although Obama seemed to embrace the concept of 'responsibility to protect' in intervening in Libya and calling for Muammar Gaddafi to step down from power, he has not done the same in Syria.

Financial Heist of the Century: Confiscating Libya s Sovereign Wealth Funds

By Manlio Dinucci

U.S. and European ruling circles focused on these funds, so that before carrying out a military attack on Libya to get their hands on its energy wealth, they took over the Libyan sovereign wealth funds.

Paul West, The Los Angeles Times: 'In this chapter of the national struggle between unions and a new wave of GOP governors, most of the passion now is with organized labor, battered by an industrial shakeout that slashed its Ohio ranks by more than one-third in recent decades. Those losses would have been more severe were it not for the strength of public employee unions, which now represent a majority of unionized workers. Statewide polls show that voters would roll back the new law if the election were held today. But even those who think Republicans face an uphill fight expect it to be close. The governor, in an interview, expressed confidence that attitudes will shift once his side s media drive cranks up.'

Jason Leopold, Truthout: 'Within the past month, more than 15 Guantanamo detainees protested an indefinite detention order signed by President Barack Obama in March that resulted in their relocation to another camp at the prison facility - where they said the conditions are worse - by staging a hunger strike, Truthout has learned. Two detainees involved in the hunger strike have lost about 25 pounds, according to their attorneys. Tanya Bradsher, a Department of Defense (DoD) spokeswoman, confirmed detainees staged a hunger strike, but she put the number at 'less than ten.'

CounterPunch
by Charles Davis
04/28/11

Ron Paul is far from perfect, but I'll say this much for the Texas congressman: He has never authorized a drone strike in Pakistan. He has never authorized the killing of dozens of women and children in Yemen. He hasn't protected torturers from prosecution and he hasn't overseen the torturous treatment of a 23-year-old young man for the 'crime' of revealing the government's criminal behavior. Can the same be said for Barack Obama?

Who does Obama want to be when he grows up?

The American Prospect
by Jamelle Bouie

04/28/11

Obama clearly envisions himself as a two-term president in Reagan s mold, and wants his tenure to be as central to liberals as Reagan s was to conservatives. But, as much as the president might like to compare himself to Reagan, he should be mindful of a slightly more recent Republican president: George H.W. Bush...

The Ron Paul Revolution continues

by Seth King

04/27/11

Ron Paul s success will not come in the form of winning an election. His message has been, and always will be, directed towards the remnant. And the truth is that we are the remnant. We are the ones who are going to have to pick up the pieces after society self-destructs. And if you have made it this far you know that the next system we build will not be predicated on coercion. It will be built on voluntarism...

Nick Turse, TomDispatch: 'Last December, 26-year-old Tunisian fruit-seller Mohammed Bouazizi set himself on fire in front of a local municipal office, touching off popular protests that continue to sweep across the Middle East and North Africa. By the end of January 2011, the country s US-backed dictator Zine El Abidine Ben Ali had fled and demonstrations, which would eventually also topple corrupt autocrat and long-time US ally Hosni Mubarak, had broken out in Egypt. In Yemen, as is the case elsewhere in the region, anger at government corruption, rampant poverty (40% of all Yemenis live on less than $2 a day), high unemployment (also running at 40%), and decades of harsh rule by an authoritarian strongman brought tens of thousands into the streets.'
