Torture s comeback

The American Conservative
by Chase Madar

06/02/11

The killing of Osama bin Laden should have provoked some healthy debate about our ongoing reaction to the 9/11 attacks. Was this manhunt worth the $3 trillion estimated by National Journal? Does our alliance structure guarantee the creation of more bin Laden-type threats? Has our military response to 9/11 hurt us and others more than it has helped? Instead, the execution of bin Laden has launched a nostalgia craze for torture, whose great virtues, we are told, have been cruelly underappreciated...

A war fit for a king

Reason Reason
by Steve Chapman

06/02/11

[T]he framers stipulated that Congress has the power to 'declare war,' giving it the chief responsibility except when the president needed to act quickly to repel an attack. But in the ensuing centuries, presidents of both parties have often trampled over their original limits, and Congress has usually let them. This has not gone over well with all lawmakers - like the senator who said in 2007 that the president has no right to go to war on his own, barring an actual or potential attack. His name was Barack Obama. But President Obama has thoroughly repudiated the naive and simplistic notions voiced by Sen. Obama. In some ways, he has also been even more aggressive than his predecessors in doing whatever he pleases...

But he s our imperial president!

Cato Institute Cato Institute
by Gene Healy

06/02/11

Sometimes it s hard to remember that the presidency was supposed to be a constitutionally limited office. George Washington didn t imagine himself 'commander in chief of our economy,' in Hillary Clinton s bizarre formulation; our first president doubted that his powers as CINC even allowed him to attack hostile Indian tribes without congressional authorization. Nor did Washington refer to himself by his military title, preferring to call the office the 'chief magistracy,' a far humbler term...

In a relationship, and it s complicated

Ludwig von Mises Institute
by Anthony Gregory

The idea that corporate interests, banking elites, and politicians conspire to set US policy is at once obvious and beyond the pale. Everyone knows that the military-industrial complex is fat and corrupt, that presidents bestow money and privilege on their donors and favored businesses, that a revolving door connects Wall Street and the White House, and that economic motivations lurk behind America s wars. But to make too fine a point of this is typically dismissed as unserious conspiracy theorizing, unworthy of mainstream consideration. We have seen this paradox at work in the aftermath of the 2008 financial collapse...

MSNBC s Flawed Coverage of Libya, Economy

Michael Corcoran and Stephen Maher, Truthout: 'When US bombs began to drop on Libya last month, representing the start of the third simultaneous US war (not including covert wars being waged by US Special Forces and the CIA in Yemen, Pakistan, Somalia, and elsewhere), it was not surprising to see the media jump into a pro-war frenzy, as it so often does. One might hope, however, that perhaps MSNBC - on the liberal side of acceptable discourse in US cable media - would at least offer significant skepticism toward another expensive and bloody US war. This is especially true given that 74 percent of the US population opposed US intervention. A close look, however, reveals the opposite is true. MSNBC, whose hosts align themselves closely with Barack Obama and the Democratic Party, has been perhaps the most hawkish station on cable news.'

We Will Never Accept Unconstitutional War

Aimee Allison, Norman Solomon and David Swanson, RootsAction: 'On May 26, the U.S. House amended the Defense Authorization Act of 2012 to state that its passage in no way authorizes the current war in Libya, and to prohibit the introduction of U.S. ground troops into Libya. We must insist that the Senate uphold those amendments next week. At the same time, the House rejected amendments that would have limited or ended U.S. warfare in Afghanistan, and rejected an amendment that would have stripped Section 1034 from the bill. That section is perhaps the most fundamental change to the structure of our federal government that has ever appeared likely to pass through Congress, as it would effectively give the power to make war to all future presidents. We must demand that the Senate remove Section 1034.'

Verbot der Nutzung von Kernenergie ohne Hintertür

Anlässlich der aktuellen Debatte zum Atomausstieg und der Ankündigungen von Klagen der Stromkonzerne gegen die Ausstiegspläne der Bundesregierung erklärt die Vorsitzende der Partei DIE LINKE, Gesine Lötzsch:

Ich freue mich, dass SPD-Fraktionsgeschäftsführer, Thomas Oppermann, mit seinen jüngsten Äußerungen einem Gesetzesentwurf (DRUCKSACHE NR. 17/5474) meiner Fraktion im Grunde zustimmt und den Atomausstieg 'wasserdicht' im Grundgesetz verankern will. Nur so wird den Stromkonzernen der Boden für Klagen entzogen und der Ausstieg aus der Kernenergie unumkehrbar. Unser Gesetzentwurf schließt zudem das Verbot zur Produktion und Nutzung von Kernwaffen ein. Das Atomgesetz ist für heutige und künftige Generationen von so entscheidender Bedeutung, dass ihm Verfassungsrang gebührt. Die Stromproduktion und deren Nutzung darf nicht durch die Einflussnahme von Lobbyisten und deren Profitinteressen bestimmt werden. Deshalb gehört die Stromproduktion in die öffentliche Hand und unter öffentliche Kontrolle. Atomenergie muss für zivile und militärische Nutzung für immer verbannt werden.
