The Government's Argument for Deploying Troops in the U.S. is Ridiculous - Even On Its Own Terms
December 2, 2008 Everyone knows that deploying 20,000 troops on U.S. soil violates Posse Comitatus and the Constitution. And everyone understands that staging troops within the U.S. to "help out with civil unrest and crowd control" increases the danger of overt martial law. But no one is asking an obvious question: Does the government's own excuse for deploying the troops make any sense?

Transparency and Secret Sessions: A Tale of Two Terror Attacks
Our point, exactly! Imagine what will happen the day 9/11 is finally prosecuted as a crime ... like Mumbai, and Madrid ... we could actually end the "war on terror," and prosecute the criminals, rather than torture hidden, unnamed people in secret prisons around the world.

By Dave Lindorff Before the odor of burned gunpowder has left the air of the Taj Mahal Hotel in Mumbai, the US is lecturing India not to go off half-cocked and attack Pakistan, simply because all of the attackers in the terrorist assaults in that city arrived by boat, apparently from neighboring Pakistan. US officials, including Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, are calling on India to engage in a "transparent" and "thorough" investigation into the attacks to establish who was responsible. How different this is from the American government's response to the 9-11 attacks in the US! Instead of a "transparent" investigation, we got secret sessions of the Congressional intelligence committees, closed-door interviews of key officials, including President Bush and Vice President Cheney by the 9-11 Commission, and of course the secret round of thousands of mostly Islamic people living in the US, many of whom were held of months incommunicado and without charge, some of whom were subjected to torture, and many other of whom were deported to likely arrest, torture and even death.

$7,760,000,000,000? - Democracy Alert
Democracy Alert:
$7,760,000,000,000? From: BreaktheBailout.com What's happening: . . . $7.76 Trillion . . . That is what Bloomberg reports has been committed on behalf of the American taxpayer to bailout America's finance system. This includes spending by the Treasury, Federal Reserve and FDIC. The amount is equal to half the value of everything produced in the United States last year. It is $24,000 for every man, woman and child in America. It's nine times what the U.S. has spent so far on wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. It is enough money to pay off more than half the country's mortgages.

Pentagon plans to station 20,000 troops for 'domestic security'
Note to the people who say we should just "get over" 9/11 ... even the Pentagon acknowledges that we could not have gotten to the point of militarization we now see without the events of 9/11 and subsequent fear-mongering:
– Ed.
December 1, 2008 The US Department of Defense plans to deploy 20,000 troops nationwide by 2011 to help state and local officials respond to terror or nuclear attacks and emergencies, The Washington Post said Monday. Citing Pentagon officials, the newspaper said the plan calls for three rapid-reaction forces. The first 4,700-strong unit, built around an active-duty combat brigade, is based at Fort Stewart, Georgia, and is already available for deployment, according to General Victor Renuart, commander of the US Northern Command, it said. Two additional groups will later join nearly 80 smaller National Guard and reserve units made up of about 6,000 troops to support local and state authorities nationwide, The Post said.

America's Child Soldiers: US Military Recruiting Children to Serve in the Armed Forces
November 29, 2008 In violation of its pledge to the United Nations not to recruit children into the military, the Pentagon "regularly target(s) children under 17," the American Civil Liberties Union(ACLU) says. The Pentagon "heavily recruits on high school campuses, targeting students for recruitment as early as possible and generally without limits on the age of students they contact," the ACLU states in a 46-page report titled "Soldiers of Misfortune." This is in violation of the U.S. Senate's 2002 ratification of the Optional Protocol to the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child.

Conspiracies and Confabulation: Tales from two Naomis
November 29, 2008 by Kevin Ryan AmericanBuddhist.net Learning about self-deception is important for all people today. That's because many of our problems, both as individuals and as a society, are rooted in self-deception, and many of the ways in which others abuse us relate to our inherent tendency to self-deceive. We can overcome these problems, and have a decent chance at long-term survival as a species, only if we learn about such limitations, and strive to control them. One great way to rapidly learn about self-deception, and other forms of deception, is to learn about the events of September 11th. It's easy to see widespread self-deception with regard to 9/11. For one thing, most people don't know the actual official story, given by the 9/11 Commission and the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). This is despite the fact that everyone, at least in the US, has invested essentially their entire future in that story, whether they know it or not.

Updated 11/30: GO VOTE NOW -- Change.org -- Initiatives to (Hopefully) Guide Obama
UPDATE 11/30/08: After this initiative received more than 600 votes, and had become #1 of any idea listed at change.org, the authorities there removed it, and sent the following email:
– Ed.
Hello Janice, We wanted to send you a note about an idea you recently voted on in the Ideas for Change in America competition titled "Conduct a new, independent investigation into the attacks of September 11, 2001" We support calls for truth and transparency in our government on every subject and welcome you to directly petition the new administration about this matter, which you can do at http://change.gov/page/s/ofthepeople. However, this is unfortunately outside the scope of the Ideas for Change in America project, which aims to offer specific policy solutions rather than investigations into past government action. As such, it is not eligible to enter the second round of the competition. (Continues below...)

(Yes, I encourage you to support community radio!!)
– Ed.
By Ray McGovern Consortiumnews.com Editor's Note: An underlying factor in the national security crises confronting the United States has been the corruption of the U.S. intelligence process, with analyses tailored to fit the desires of the policymakers and with laws bent to permit torture and other abuses. In this guest essay, former CIA analyst Ray McGovern reflects on what went wrong and what now needs to go right: The Director of Central Intelligence (DCI) must be a person whose previous professional performance has been distinguished by unimpeachable integrity and independence. The director must have the courage of his or her own convictions. Without integrity and courage, all virtue is specious, and no amount of structural or organizational reform will make any difference.
