Sarah Laskow, The Media Consortium: 'The most recent debates over off-shore drilling, oil profits, and oil subsidies are just one front in the long war to preserve the environment and push back against climate change. There are strategies available here that have yet to be deployed. At Grist, David Roberts offers four that could help fight climate change: put a price on carbon; deploy existing clean energy technology on a much more massive scale; invest large amounts of money in research and development; and invest in infrastructure. As far as these four policy proposals go, he says, right now, 'The US is doing all of them poorly,' and he does not believe that it is possible any more to reverse climate change.'

NASA Scientist Helps Teens Sue Government over Climate Change

The suit is based on the Public Trust Doctrine, a long-standing legal doctrine that states it is the government s duty to protect the resources that are essential for our collective survival and prosperity, such as rivers, groundwater, or in this case, atmosphere, according to Our Children's Trust, a nonprofit advocacy organization behind the litigation.

The Global Economy s Corporate Crime Wave

Jeffrey D. Sachs, Project Syndicate: 'Poor-country governments probably accept more bribes and commit more offenses, but it is rich countries that host the global companies that carry out the largest offenses. Money talks, and it is corrupting politics and markets all over the world. Hardly a day passes without a new story of malfeasance. Every Wall Street firm has paid significant fines during the past decade for phony accounting, insider trading, securities fraud, Ponzi schemes, or outright embezzlement by CEOs. A massive insider-trading ring is currently on trial in New York, and has implicated some leading financial-industry figures. And it follows a series of fines paid by America s biggest investment banks to settle charges of various securities violations. There is, however, scant accountability.'

Youth in a Suspect Society: Coming of Age in an Era of Disposability

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: 'For over 30 years, the North American public has been reared on a neoliberal dystopian vision that legitimates itself through the largely unchallenged claim that there are no alternatives to a hyper-market-driven society, that economic growth should not be constrained by considerations of social costs or moral responsibility and that democracy and capitalism are virtually synonymous. At the heart of this market rationality is an egocentric philosophy and a culture of cruelty that sells off public goods and services to the highest bidders in the private sector, while simultaneously dismantling those public spheres, social protections and institutions serving the public good. As economic power succeeds in detaching itself from government regulations, a new global financial class reasserts the prerogatives of capital and systemically destroys those public spheres - including the university - that traditionally advocated for social equality and an educated citizenry as the fundamental conditions for a viable democracy.'

Death of Osama bin Laden Makes Peace Groups Ask: 'What's Next?'

James Russell, Truthout: 'On the phone from Chicago, Kathy Kelly, co-coordinator of the peace group Voices for Creative Nonviolence (VCNV), paused and breathed deeply before answering the question about her initial thoughts on Bin Laden's death. After a few reflective moments, she said she wondered if his death, 'will signal the end of warfare in Afghanistan.' Her hope soon faded as President Obama made his announcement about Bin Laden's death on Sunday night. To Kelly, the disappointment came when Obama did not use his announcement as 'a teachable moment.' Instead of invoking the pacifism and restraint urged during the Vietnam War by the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., 'Obama presented the death as a victory for American exceptionalism,' she said.'

Filling in the Gaping Holes in WikiLeaks' Guantanamo Detainee Files

Jason Leopold, Truthout: 'Imagine that the more than 700 Guantanamo files released two weeks ago by WikiLeaks contained information explaining how interrogators obtained 'intelligence' from 'war on terror' detainees captured or sold to US forces after 9/11, such as this firsthand account: 'On a couple of occasions, I entered interview rooms to find a detainee chained hand and foot in a fetal position to the floor, with no chair, food or water. Most times they had urinated or defecated on themselves and had been left there for 18, 24 hours or more.'

Ability to kill OBL doesn t make America great

In These Times
by Kai Wright

05/05/11

Osama bin Laden, evil incarnate, has justified so, so much American violence in the 21st century. We have launched two wars and executed God knows how many covert military operations in the ethereal, never-ending fight he personifies. We have made racial profiling of Muslim Americans normative, turned an already broken immigration system into an arm of national defense, and reversed decades worth of hard-won civil liberties while pursuing him, dead or alive. We have abandoned even the conceit of respect for human rights in places stretching from Abu Ghraib to Guantanamo Bay in the course of hunting him down. Now, finally, the devil is dead...

Osama bin Laden and the 9/11 exception

The Partial Observer
by James Leroy Wilson

05/05/11

Just as G.W. Bush led many Americans to applaud the use of torture, so now Obama has made the disturbing, covert use of the Presidential Death Squad mainstream. The most amazing aspect of this is how, in the post-9/11 world, so many are willing to believe the President (whoever he is) on issues of 'national security' and terrorism. They will claim the President is personally unethical and lies all the time, but, when a 'national security' incident related to 9/11 comes up, they will believe the President s claims. I don t recall this before 9/11...
