Liberal 'open government' advocates are giving the president a medal for supposedly promoting 'government transparency.' He shares their liberal ideology, but not their alleged commitment to transparency. In reality, President Obama is so hostile to open government that 'the Obama administration censored 194 pages of internal e-mails about its Open Government Directive,' according to the Associated Press...

CounterPunch

President Obama tells us that he's asked the Pentagon whether the conditions of confinement of Bradley Manning, the soldier charged with leaking state secrets, 'are appropriate and are meeting our basic standards. They assure me that they are.' If Obama believes that, he'll believe anything...

Dealing on detentions

The American Prospect
by Adam Serwer

03/18/11

House Armed Services Committee Chairman Buck McKeon wants to make a deal with the Obama administration on detention policy. 'I don't want us to get hardened on any positions until we sit down and understand each other's positions,' the California Republican said in an unexpectedly cordial House Armed Services Committee hearing Thursday. 'I do not want this to get on a partisan track.' McKeon's conciliatory tone might seem odd, given that just last week he attacked the president for 'repeating the mistakes of the Bush administration by attempting to generate detainee policy by executive fiat' with his new indefinite-detention proposal...

Ratcheting up the rhetoric in the Washington budget battle, Vice President Biden on Friday likened the Republican strategy of seeking to slash federal spending while championing tax breaks for the wealthy to rape victims being blamed for the rape. At a lavish Philadelphia fundraising luncheon that raised $400,000 for Democratic congressional campaigns, Biden began his attack on Republicans by crediting the 1994 Violence Against Women Act that he and former Pennsylvania Sen. Arlen Specter (who was in attendance) authored for changing society's attitude about blaming rape victims...

Eugenics

Part 2

by Dennis Cuddy

But eugenics was only the tip of the iceberg, because what was occurring was the development of a comprehensive population control strategy. Do you think the breakup of the family just happened to have occurred? In Many Missions (1991), C.X. Larrabee, writes that the Research Triangle Institute (RTI) of North Carolina and the Carolina Population Center 'took the position that effective population control relies on aspects of national development that offer greater incentives to have fewer children, incentives such as? a bigger role for women in the workplace......

Libyas slippery slope

President Clinton set a new record as far as the sheer number of times he intervened abroad: Somalia, Haiti, Bosnia, Iraq, and Kosovo -- this last, you?ll recall, at Hillarys persistent urging. The 'humanitarian' wing of the War Party is in the saddle, and they are just as ideological, just as bellicose, and just as self-deluded as their neoconservative counterparts on the right. Gadhafi has promised 'a long war.' Is the US prepared for that?

The impending war with Libya is now added to the list of undeclared wars being conducted by the Regime in Washington. The Obama administration, emulating the diplomacy of the first Bush administration, circumvented Congress entirely, building an international 'coalition' for a UN declaration of war. It did so in stupendously cynical fashion...

Any US attack on Libya would be unconstitutional and despicable

Liberty For All
by R. Lee Wrights

03/19/11

After weeks of vacillation, uttering veiled threats that Libyan dictator Muammar Gadhafi must go while his key advisers made contradictory statements, President Obama has followed the example of his recent predecessors and decided that it is okay for the United States to attack another sovereign nation so long as the United Nations approves it. For an American president to initiate an attack on a nation that does not threaten us is despicable enough, but to justify such aggression by citing a United Nations resolution sets a dangerous precedent that threatens our very sovereignty...

Kirk Semple, The New York Times News Service: 'Immigration enforcement in the United States is plagued by unjust treatment of detainees, including inadequate access to lawyers and insufficient medical care, and by the excessive use of prison-style detention, the human rights arm of the Organization of American States said Thursday. The group, the Inter-American Commission on Human Rights, issued those findings in a report that also took aim at a federal program that allows county and state law enforcement officials to enforce federal immigration laws. The report said the government had failed to ensure that local police were not singling out people by race or detaining illegal immigrants on the pretext of investigating crimes.'
