The WikiLeaks documents released on Guantanamo prisoners indicate appalling military incompetence in haphazardly patching together sketchy and contradictory information that has allowed many high-risk terror suspects to go free, while low-risk or innocent detainees continue to be incarcerated. Yet some members of Congress would like to strengthen the military s role in holding and trying such suspects and have the military completely take over the war on terror...

People around the world are feeling the pain at the pump. President Obama, whose reelection in 2012 may depend on a rebounding American economy, has promised that his energy plan could temper oil prices. Adding to the stakes, minutes from the US Federal Reserve meeting in March 2011 revealed concern that high oil prices could hurt the American economy. So why have oil prices risen from around $36 dollars per barrel in December 2008 to $110 dollars per barrel now? And what can be done to lower them?

Monsanto, enemy of organic farmers and anti-GMO advocates alike, will likely be allowed to conduct its own environmental studies as part of a two-year USDA experiment. But there is no good that can possibly come of an experiment where the company behind nearly every genetically modified crop in our daily diets is allowed to decide whether its products are causing any environmental harm. ... Because the USDA is so bad at doing its job on time, the agency decided to see if anyone else was prepared to do its safety testing work instead...

After I wrote my last column, several Tea Party activists contacted me to let me know that they had not been 'neoconned.' They made it plain in no uncertain terms that they would never support establishment neocon Republicans such as Newt Gingrich for the office of President of the United States. Most assuredly, I was glad to hear from these folks; I only wish my mail box had been swamped with such correspondence--it wasn t! At this point, it may be helpful if I give a little history lesson. The Tea Party........

The U.S. government is essentially bankrupt, with debts and other unfunded obligations filling the horizon. Yet virtually every rich ally of America has its hand out, expecting U.S. taxpayers to pay for its defense. And policymakers of both parties are only too happy to oblige. Washington also is intent on remaking the globe...

The state kills western civilization

Strike the Root
by Scott Lazarowitz

Coinciding with the 19th Century-early 20th Century Industrial Revolution were the American 'Civil War,' State-usurpation of education, taxation and State regulation of private industry and State usurpation of money and State-interference in voluntary exchange. People who had a compulsion for intruding into others? affairs, associations, contracts and businesses were (and are) those most attracted to State power...

Obama to appoint failed war leaders to new positions

Business Week

04/27/11

President Barack Obama has chosen CIA Director Leon Panetta to take over the Pentagon from Defense Secretary Robert Gates and will nominate General David Petraeus to lead the spy agency, an administration official said. ... Obama will be replacing his Pentagon chief as the U.S. undergoes a transition in Afghanistan, with the withdrawal of an unspecified number of troops beginning in July, and as it winds down operations in Iraq...
