Privilege; Rejects Clinton Precedent in Revealing Documents House Oversight's subpoenas for Bush and Cheney's interview records from DOJ Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald's inquiry into the Valerie Plame leak case were rebuffed by the Justice Department. We've obtained a copy of the letter dated June 24 that the Justice Department sent to Congress, declining to comply with the subpoena. Their reasons? The ever-ready assertion of executive privilege because the write ups of the FBI interviews with White House officials during the Plame leak investigation contain accounts of of internal White House deliberations The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! July 1, 2008 ------- Bush and the Press vs. the Constitution Last week, an article in the Washington Post explained how decisions of the Bush administration with regard to detention policies have been overturned by the Supreme Court. The tone of the article is interesting. It's title is "White House Dismissed Legal Advice On Detainees". But notice it's not the illegality of the policies which were of any concern. Quite the contrary, the fact that the policies would be illegal is of precisely zero concern. The only issue was in implementing the policies in a way that would not invite judicial scrutiny The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! June 27, 2008 ------- You're On Candid Camera A Bush administration program to expand domestic use of Pentagon spy satellites has aroused new concerns in Congress about possible civil-liberties abuses. On Tuesday, the House Appropriations Committee approved an amendment denying money for the new domestic intelligence operation—cryptically named the "National Applications Office" —until the Homeland Security secretary certifies that any programs undertaken by the center will "comply with all existing laws, including all applicable privacy and civil liberties standards." The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! June 25, 2008 ------- Feingold: ‘Farce’ wiretap deal could be hiding ‘impeachable offense' The battle to protect Americans from warrantless wiretaps and hold telecommunications companies accountable is all but lost, Sen. Russ Feingold, a leading critic of President Bush’s likely illegal surveillance programs, said. The “farce” of a surveillance law deal heralded by House Democratic leaders last week could permanently hide evidence of an “impeachable offense” on the part of President Bush, the Wisconsin Democrat said. Feingold spoke at the New America Foundation in Washington about the nation’s intelligence needs ................................. Fight over White House subpoenas heads to court Congress issued its demands. The White House refused. Now it's up to a federal judge to settle a dispute over documents and testimony regarding fired federal prosecutors. Lawyers for the White House and Congress were in federal court Monday arguing the scope of the president's power to ignore legislative subpoenas. Lawmakers say the court is obligated to help enforce a congressional subpoena ....................................... Waxman Says U.S. Embassy in Albania Concealed Info About Arms Shipment Was the State Department involved in a shoddy and potentially illegal ammo shipment that led to the arrest of a 22-year-old Miami arms dealer last week? That's what Rep. Henry Waxman (D-CA) now says. The House oversight committee says it has evidence that the U.S. embassy in Albania helped Albanian officials keep the allegedly illegal shipment of Chinese-made ammunition to Afghanistan under wraps and then failed to disclose that information when Waxman's committee asked about it The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! June 23, 2008 ------- Corporate Espionage Detailed in Documents They scavenged through trash and tailed people for hours. They used undercover operatives to infiltrate private meetings.The targets were not agents of foreign powers but advocacy groups that had been critical of corporations. BBI, which was founded in 1995, disbanded in 2000, and the activists might never have learned they were spied on. But a disgruntled BBI investor began digging through company records two years ago and has been contacting the former targets The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! June 18, 2008 ------- CIA Played Larger Role In Advising Pentagon A senior CIA lawyer advised Pentagon officials about the use of harsh interrogation techniques on detainees at Guantanamo Bay in a meeting in late 2002, defending waterboarding and other methods as permissible despite U.S. and international laws banning torture, according to documents released yesterday by congressional investigators. The memos and other evidence evoked intense bipartisan condemnation from members of the Armed Services Committee who spent nearly eight hours grilling some of the former and current officials involved with the decisions ..................... Documents confirm U.S. hid detainees from Red Cross The U.S. military hid the locations of suspected terrorist detainees and concealed harsh treatment to avoid the scrutiny of the International Committee of the Red Cross, according to documents that a Senate committee released Tuesday. "We may need to curb the harsher operations while ICRC is around. It is better not to expose them to any controversial techniques," Lt. Col. Diane Beaver, a military lawyer who's since retired, said during an October 2002 meeting at the Guantanamo Bay prison to discuss employing interrogation techniques that some have equated with torture The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! June 17, 2008 ------- Former Justice official may face grand jury probe The Justice Department is considering launching a grand jury investigation into whether one of its former leaders misled Congress about playing politics with civil rights issues, a government official said Monday. The move amounts to a first step from an internal inquiry toward possible criminal charges in the scandal that helped force the resignation of former Attorney General Alberto Gonzales. At issue is whether Bradley Schlozman intentionally misled senators during a June 2007 hearing when he gave conflicting statements about his role in an election-eve filing of a voter fraud lawsuit in Missouri while serving, a year earlier, as a U.S. attorney based in Kansas City, Mo The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! June 11, 2008 ------- Abramoff met Bush at least 6 times, House panel confirms Convicted superlobbyist Jack Abramoff influenced White House actions while his firm wooed administration officials over expensive meals and plied them with box tickets to sporting events, according to a House of Representatives committee report released Monday. The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform said Monday that it had received new White House documents and testimony that confirmed 80 White House contacts with Abramoff and uncovered 70 others despite White House assertions that Abramoff had vastly overblown his administration connections ................ U.S. seeking 58 bases in Iraq, Shiite lawmakers say Iraqi lawmakers say the United States is demanding 58 bases as part of a proposed "status of forces" agreement that will allow U.S. troops to remain in the country indefinitely. Leading members of the two ruling Shiite parties said in a series of interviews the Iraqi government rejected this proposal along with another U.S. demand that would have effectively handed over to the United States the power to determine if a hostile act from another country is aggression against Iraq. Lawmakers said they fear this power would drag Iraq into a war between the United States and Iran ................. Specter: Warrantless Wiretapping Needs 'Judicial Review' Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.), a Republican long known for breaking with his party(or pretending to..) over the reach of post-9/11 executive power, is still at it. Monday, the five-term senator again demanded a judicial examination of the phone companies' role in the Bush administration's warrantless wiretapping program. (in lieu of public hearings under oath) The administration has made retroactive immunity for the participating telecoms a key tenet of any renewal legislation .................. McCain's Ties To Telecoms Questioned After Wiretapping Flip-Flop If you've been wondering where all the telecom lobbyists went to lick their wounds after the House rejected retroactive immunity for wiretapping, the Electronic Frontier Foundation says it's found a bunch of them smack dab in the middle of John McCain's presidential campaign organization. The group suggested Friday that the swell of current and former telecom lobbyists in the McCain camp might have something to do with the candidate's recent reversal on the legality of warrantless wiretapping The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! June 6, 2008 ------- Revealed: Secret plan to keep Iraq under US control A secret deal being negotiated in Baghdad would perpetuate the American military occupation of Iraq indefinitely, regardless of the outcome of the US presidential election in November. The terms of the impending deal, details of which have been leaked to The Independent, are likely to have an explosive political effect in Iraq. Iraqi officials fear that the accord, under which US troops would occupy permanent bases, conduct military operations, arrest Iraqis and enjoy immunity from Iraqi law, will destabilize Iraq's position in the Middle East and lay the basis June 5, 2008 ------- Did Cheney Tell Libby to Do It? Former vice presidential chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby told the FBI that it was "possible" that Vice President Cheney instructed him to disseminate information about CIA agent Valerie Plame to the press, according to a redacted FBI report recently examined by Congressional investigators. In part as a result of that revelation, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee today reiterated its request for more Plame investigation documents -- including reports on the interviews investigators conducted with Cheney and President Bush The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! June 3, 2008 ------- US accused of holding terror suspects on prison ships The United States is operating "floating prisons" to house those arrested in its war on terror, according to human rights lawyers, who claim there has been an attempt to conceal the numbers and whereabouts of detainees. Details of ships where detainees have been held and sites allegedly being used in countries across the world have been compiled as the debate over detention without trial intensifies on both sides of the Atlantic. The US government was yesterday urged to list the names and whereabouts of all those detained The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth! June 2, 2008 ------- Did Hackers Cause the 2003 Northeast Blackout? Chinese hackers may have been responsible for the recent power outage in Florida, and the widespread blackout that struck the northeastern U.S. in 2003, according to a new report in the National Journal that shows the intelligence community taking cyberwar hysteria to new and dizzying heights. The story, citing computer security professionals, who in turn cite unnamed U.S. intelligence officials, says that China's People's Liberation Army may have cracked the computers controlling the U.S. power grid to trigger the cascading 2003 blackout that cut off electricity to 50 million people --------------------- The Great Oil Swindle There are three things that are driving up the price of oil: the falling dollar, speculation and buying on margin. What if the investment banks are trading their worthless MBS and CDOs at the Fed's auction facilities and using the money ($400 billion) to drive up the price of raw materials like rice, corn, wheat, and oil? Could it be? Could the Fed really be looking the other way so it can bail out its banking buddies while they drive prices skyward? The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 29, 2008 ------- McClellan whacks Bush, White House Former White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan writes in a surprisingly scathing memoir to be published next week that President Bush “veered terribly off course,” was not “open and forthright on Iraq,” and took a “permanent campaign approach” to governing at the expense of candor and competence. The longtime Bush loyalist also suggests that two top aides held a secret West Wing meeting to get their story straight about the CIA leak case at a time when federal prosecutors were after them The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 28, 2008 ------- Titanic search was cover for secret Cold War subs mission The man who located the wreck of the Titanic has revealed that the discovery was a cover story to camouflage the real mission of inspecting the wrecks of two Cold War nuclear submarines. When Bob Ballard led a team that pinpointed the wreckage of the liner in 1985 he had already completed his main task of finding out what happened to USS Thresher and USS Scorpion. Both of the United States Navy vessels sank during the 1960s, killing more than 200 men and giving rise to fears that at least one of them, Scorpion, had been sunk by the USSR ....................................... Report finds gaps in federal port-security program A Department of Homeland Security program to strengthen port security has gaps that terrorists could exploit to smuggle weapons of mass destruction in cargo containers, congressional investigators have found. The report by the Government Accountability Office, being released today, assesses the Customs-Trade Partnership Against Terrorism (C-TPAT), a federal program established after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks to deter a potential terrorist strike via cargo passing through 326 of the nation's airports, seaports and designated land borders The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 22, 2008 ----------- Govt. May Have Massive Surveillance Program For Use In ‘National Emergency,’ 8 Million ‘Potential Suspects’ Last year, former deputy attorney general James Comey revealed that in 2004, he refused to “certify” the legality of certain aspects of the National Security Agency (NSA) spy program. Comey witnessed Alberto Gonzales and Andrew Card try to force a bed-ridden John Ashcroft to approve the program. Comey, however, did not publicly give specifics as to what program he opposed. Radar’s Christopher Ketcham suggests that another spy program does exist: “Main Core” The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 14, 2008 ----------- Domestic spying far outpaces terrorism prosecutions The number of Americans being secretly wiretapped or having their financial and other records reviewed by the government has continued to increase as officials aggressively use powers approved after the Sept. 11 attacks. But the number of terrorism prosecutions ending up in court -- one measure of the effectiveness of such sleuthing -- has continued to decline, in some cases precipitously The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 8, 2008 ----------- Bush Iraq Emails Not Recoverable A late-night court filing by the White House on Monday revealed that official administration emails about the run up to the invasion of Iraq and the initial occupation may never be recovered. Whistleblowers have accused the White House of destroying email records from their internal servers. The Bush administration disputes this accusation, claiming instead that many emails were stored incorrectly ...................... FBI rescinds secret order for Internet Archive records The FBI has backed down on a secret request for information about a user of the Internet Archive digital library, thanks to a legal challenge from two prominent advocacy groups. The case, which was brought by the Electronic Frontier Foundation and the American Civil Liberties Union on behalf of the archive, dates to last year but only became public on Wednesday. That's because the type of request involved, known as a national security letter (NSL), is accompanied by a gag order, and are supposed to be used only in investigations related to terrorism The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 8, 2008 ----------- EXECUTIVE OR IMPERIAL BRANCH? More memos recently have surfaced that were written early in the Bush administration by John C. Yoo from the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel -- the man who gave us the administration's horrifyingly narrow definition of torture. As difficult as it is to believe, the recently released memos are even scarier than the original torture memo. Yoo boldly asserts that the president's power during wartime is nearly unlimited .................... Little shop of legal horrors Among all the allegations that are thrown at the architects of the US war in Iraq, perhaps the most far-reaching and unexpected is this: that they broke the US government. The three elements of the charge each implicate a different institution or set of institutional relationships. At a Senate hearing last week, several former officials publicly fretted that the administration had created what Chairman Senator Russ Feingold, called "an entire regime of secret law" The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 7, 2008 ----------- Pentagon Targeted Iran for Regime Change after 9/11 Three weeks after the 9/11 terror attacks, former U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld established an official military objective ...of not only removing the Saddam Hussein regime by force but overturning the regime in Iran, as well as in Syria and four other countries in the Middle East ...according to a document quoted extensively in then Undersecretary of Defense for Policy Douglas Feith's recently published account of the Iraq war decisions The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 5, 2008 ----------- How Much Did Rumsfeld Know? Ricardo Sanchez, the commander of U.S. Forces in Iraq in 2003-2004, has written a new memoir, Wiser in Battle: A Soldier's Story, an account of his life and his service in Iraq. Sanchez was a three-star general — and the military's senior Hispanic officer — when he led U.S. forces in the first year of the war. He was relieved of his command by Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld in 2004 following the revelations of the abuse of prisoners at Abu Ghraib prison The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page MAY 2, 2008 ----------- Secret Wiretap Warrants Double Since 9/11 The number of secret warrants used in counter terrorism and espionage cases have more than doubled since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, according to an annual Justice Department report released today. For 2007, the department confirms that the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC), the secret court that approves such warrants, approved 2,370 requests, compared to 1012 in 2000. The report is required under the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows the FBI to conduct court-approved secret domestic searches and wiretapping ..................... Halliburton bribe case haunts Cheney Dick Cheney’s tenure at Halliburton ended eight years ago, but a federal investigation of alleged bribes from a company subsidiary to Nigerian officials lingers from the Cheney era, raising questions about what the vice president knew or should have known. In its quarterly filing to the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 25, Halliburton said the Justice Department was widening its probe to determine whether Kellogg Brown & Root (KBR) paid $180 million in bribes to Nigerian officials to win a $5 billion construction contract The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!
Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page APRIL 30, 2008 ----------- Hurricane forecaster's dispute with school focuses on global warming debate As he enters his 25th year of predicting hurricane season activity, Colorado State University officials say handling media inquiries related to Wiiliam Gray's forecasting requires too much time and detracts from efforts to promote other professors' work. But Gray, a highly visible and sometimes acerbic skeptic of climate change, says that's a "flimsy excuse" for the real motivation — a desire to push him aside because of his global warming criticism .................... US House panel threatens to subpoena Ashcroft on DOJ interrogation memo US House Judiciary Committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) Monday threatened to seek subpoenas to compel three current and former administration officials, ...including former Attorney General John Ashcroft, to testify about a recently released Department of Justice Office of Legal Counsel memorandum ...that advised the US Department of Defense that military interrogators could employ a wide range of interrogation methods ...when questioning foreign detainees outside the United States without fear of criminal liability or constitutional sanction.

Archived from NEWS+VIEWS page APRIL 25, 2008 ----------- CIA Foresaw Interrogation Issues The CIA concluded that criminal, administrative or civil investigations stemming from harsh interrogation tactics were "virtually inevitable," leading the agency to seek legal support from the Justice Department, according to a CIA official's statement in court documents filed yesterday. The CIA said it had identified more than 7,000 pages of classified memos, e-mails and other records but maintained that the materials cannot be released because they relate to, in part, communications between CIA and Justice Department attorneys or discussions with the White House The Last Days Signs - The End Times - Are Upon The Earth!

According to court documents, Ben Ami Kadish allegedly spied for Israel from 1979-1985 and provided an official from the Israeli consulate in New York with U.S. national defense information, including restricted nuclear weapons data, classified jet fighter weapons system data and key information on the Patriot missile system ............................... Torture victim's records lost at Guantánamo, admits camp general The former head of interrogations at Guantánamo Bay found that records of an al-Qaida suspect tortured at the prison camp were mysteriously lost by the US military, according to a new book by one of Britain's top human rights lawyers.

US and Canadian Governments Renaming "North American Union" to fool Citizens While conservatives have for years protested the threat of the "New World Order," fewer of them are familiar with the recent North American Security and Prosperity Partnership.

State Secrets Bernabei said that she and her associates did not appreciate the significance of the document, and the government’s efforts to recover it, until December, 2005, when the News revealed that the Bush Administration had authorized the National Security Agency to employ wiretaps inside the United States without first getting a warrant.

Hidden behind that appearance of objectivity, though, is a Pentagon information apparatus that has used those analysts in a campaign to generate favorable news coverage of the administration's wartime performance ...................... Senators Ask For Pentagon Explanation on Contract Abuse Two members of the Senate Armed Services Committee called yesterday on Pentagon officials to further explain the awarding of a $50 million Air Force contract to a company owned by people close to senior Air Force officials, demanding accountability at the highest levels of the service.

Petraeus Hid Maliki Resistance to US Troops in Basra In testimony before Congressional committees last week, Gen. David Petraeus portrayed Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's late March offensive in Basra as a poorly planned effort that departed from what U.S. officials had expected.

FBI email says Bush signed exec order authorizing torture President George W. Bush’s comment to ABC News -- that he approved discussions that his top aides held about harsh interrogation techniques - - adds credence to claims from senior FBI agents in Iraq in 2004 that Bush had signed an executive order approving the use of military dogs, sleep deprivation and other tactics to intimidate Iraqi detainees.
