NSA SPYING MORE EXTENSIVE THAN PREVIOUSLY DISCLOSED * Current and former intelligence officials say the NSA now monitors a huge collection of data, including emails, internet searches, bank transfers, credit card transactions, travel itineraries and telephone records. Most of it comes from other agencies or private companies. Some of the data is supplied by several undisclosed so-called “black programs”—many established before the 9/11 attacks.

Is your ISP watching you?

Commander-in-chief simply means you direct the military forces. It does not mean you decide who to fight — congress’s job. It does not mean you can suspend the constitution at you discretion. It does not mean you can authorize illegal wiretaps:

“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or thing to be seized.”

What is about the Fourth Amendment that you find ambiguous, McSame?

Gives me the vision of McCain in those super dark, wrap-around “Glaucoma Glasses” so many seniors have to wear. McCain was eight years too late to be the saviour of the Rs.

Back then, we had a Congress with actual vertebra…

“When the President does it, that means that it’s not illegal.”

Didn’t work out so well for Nixon, now did it?

US quits Human Rights Council

The news that the US has completely withdrawn from the Human Rights Council spread like wildfire Friday afternoon (June 6) through the corridors of the Palais des Nations in Geneva. There was general consternation amongst diplomats and NGOS. Reached by phone, the American mission in Geneva neither confirmed nor denied the report. Although unofficial, the news comes at a time of long opposition by the Bush administration to the reforms which created the Human Rights Council in June 2006. Washington announced from the beginning that the US would not be an active member but its observer status would mean that it could intervene during the sessions. To date even this has rarely happened.

“We don’t understand the reasons nor the timing of the decision”, said Sebastien Gillioz of Human Rights Watch. “There have even been some positive signs during this Council. For example Belarus was not re-elected as a member in 2007 nor Sri Lanka this year”.

The stupefaction was made greater by the fact the US actively took part in the universal Periodic Review (UPR) process where 32 countries were scrutinized by their peers in April and May. In particular a series of recommendations were made regarding Romania, Japan, Guatemala, Peru, Tunisia, Ukraine, Indonesia and others.

…

“It is an aberration”, said Peter Splinter of Amnesty International. “It seems that the government has lost its mind. How could it believe it is going to improve human rights by running away? It is like those who say, ‘I don’t like the way this town is governed so I’m not going to vote’”.

America is broken…..

They’ve been saying the same in regards to increasing focus on the whys and hows of our entry into Iraq and the “war” on terror. Funny how they only want to look to the past when they think it bolsters their case. One need only to recall Bush being oh so happy to reference certain events of WWII and Vietnam when he wants to once again try to sell the “war.” Speaking of which, Bush has been, and is still, trying to market this “war” for over 5 years yet support has consistently gone downhill. He certainly sucks when it comes to the ability to persuade.
