Shahid Buttar, People s Blog for the Constitution: ''This week, Congress prepares to abuse the Constitution again, by extending its 2008 amendments to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). With the House of Representatives poised to vote ... on a premature five-year extension, will members remember what they heard when theatrically reading the constitution on the House floor, or instead entrench the Bush-Cheney legacy beyond even the next administration?''

Lisa Graves, PRWatch: ''Walker campaigned for office on claims he would create at least 250,000 jobs in the state by the end of his term, but the first act introduced and passed in his administration was not actually a bill to bring or increase jobs in the state. Instead, it limits the legal liability of corporations located anywhere in the world whose products harm Wisconsin residents.''

Wayne Barrett, The Nation: ''[Mitt Romney s] ties to Monsanto ... whose dark history features scandals involving PCBs, Agent Orange, bovine growth hormone, NutraSweet, the IUD [and] genetically modified (GM) seed and herbicides, [reaches] back to the 1970s and '80s. That's when Monsanto was the largest consulting client of Romney s employer, Bain & Company, and when Romney helped move Monsanto from chemical colossus to genetic giant, trading one set of environmental controversies for another.''

Bain s birth by death squads

In These Times

by Terry J. Allen

09/17/12

Mitt Romney has a debilitating condition that won t show up in his medical report: severe cognitive dissonance, simultaneously holding conflicting ideas, beliefs and values. His problem goes deeper than routine hypocrisy and expedient 'flip-flopping.' Romney believes that free enterprise serves justice and the public good and that he and Bain Capital embody beneficence. He also believes that people like him, and businesses like his, make it on the strength of their bootstraps. And yet the arc of Mitt Romney s life and wealth betrays the delusions inherent in those myths...

Why does the government so desperately want indefinite detention for terror suspects?

Future of Freedom Foundation
by Andy Worthington

09/21/12

What is the government doing? Last year, when Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA), with its contentious passages endorsing the mandatory military detention of terror suspects, there was uproar across the political spectrum from Americans who believed that it would be used on U.S. citizens...

How Obama came to be the biggest defender of indefinite detention

Reason
by JD Tuccille

09/21/12

Perhaps it s all for the best that the Obama administration oversaw the scrubbing of civil liberties vows that graced the 2008 Democratic Party platform from the 2012 edition. It's one thing to promise to end practices implemented by your nefarious political opponents; it s quite another to commit to ending abuses you yourself have practiced without restraint...
