CounterPunch
by Linda Green

06/30/11

President Barack Obama, who as an Illinois senator was instrumental in passing legislation to protect government whistleblowers, has effectively criminalized public servants who risk their jobs to speak out and expose waste, corruption and unethical behavior among their colleagues.'

Reverend Obama, when he was running for the office he now decorates, preached the need for transparency and honesty in government. In particular, he derided 'the cynics, the lobbyists, the special interests' who held sway in the District of Columbia. He promised to stop the practice of rewarding donors with political favors. Well, scratch another promise...

Labor Wars: Michigan Is the New Wisconsin

Akiba Solomon, Colorlines.com: 'Michigan is shaping up to be the next big battleground in the Republican-led war on unions and public workers' rights. In March, the state s Republican governor Rick Snyder signed Emergency Financial Manager Law Public Act 4, a law that grants state-appointed officials broad power to run cash-strapped communities and school districts. While the state has had Emergency Financial Managers (EFM's) for decades, critics - including Jesse Jackson, Rep. John Conyers and members of the Michigan Legislative Black Caucus - say PA-4 has enhanced their authority in unprecedented ways.'

The Corrupt Corporate Incarceration Complex

William Fisher, Truthout: 'In Scranton, Pennsylvania, two judges pleaded guilty to operating a kickback scheme involving juvenile offenders. The judges, Mark Ciavarella Jr. and Michael Conahan, took more than $2.6 million in kickbacks from a private prison company to send teenagers to two privately run youth detention centers. Since 2003, Ciaverella had sentenced an estimated 5,000 juveniles. Conahan was accused of setting up the contracts. Many of the youngsters shipped off to the detention centers were first-time offenders.'

The shocking ways the corporate prison industry games the system

AlterNet
by Rania Khalek

11/29/11

Just a decade ago, private prisons were a dying industry awash in corruption and mired in lawsuits, particularly Corrections Corporation of America (CCA), the nation s largest private prison operator. Today, these companies are booming once again, yet the lawsuits and scandals continue to pile up. Meanwhile, more and more evidence shows that compared to publicly run prisons, private jails are filthier, more violent, less accountable, and contrary to what privatization advocates peddle as truth, do not save money...

In a statement to CIA employees on his last day as director, Leon E. Panetta said Thursday that after an examination of more than 100 instances in which the agency allegedly had contact with terrorism detainees, Assistant U.S. Atty.

Report (VIDEO): Even just paying the interest on the United States' war debt will be a large endeavor, according to the report, at a time when the country is set to exceed its current debt limit of $14.29 trillion. The government has already paid about $185 billion in interest on war spending, and could accrue another $1 trillion - an amount not included in the $3.7 trillion estimate - in interest by 2020, according to the report.
