The politics of assasination
CounterPunch
by Ray McGovern
05/08/11
As America s morbid celebrations over the killing of Osama bin Laden begin to fade, we are left with a new landscape of risks - and opportunities - created by his slaying at the hands of a U.S. Special Forces team at a compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan. ... If the Post s neoconservative editors get their way and the U.S. military is officially transformed into a roving assassination squad - a global 'Murder, Inc.' - it may turn out that future historians will view this as bin Laden s final victory...

It took nearly a decade after 9/11 to catch and kill Osama bin Laden. During that time, America launched two wars and a new cabinet-level security agency while funneling money into the defense budget at record levels. This was the United States government s response to bin Laden, yet very little of it contributed to his capture. We know what bin Laden cost us: thousands of American lives, a sense of safety and security for millions more. But now, with bin Laden finally dead, America and its leaders must also come to grips with what we have chosen to spend reacting to his acts of terror - and the sad fact that most of it wasn t worth the price...

In a sense, the War Party is facing the same prospect they faced when the Soviet Union collapsed: total and complete irrelevance. That is particularly true at this conjuncture, with the US hurtling toward economic catastrophe and Americans getting noticeably restive in the face of cutbacks and severe economic straits. What s a warmonger to do? Simple: come up with a new enemy, a fresh face - or, better yet, an entire nation that can be demonized and made to play the role of stand-in for bin Laden. That nation, as you have probably already guessed, is Pakistan...

The American prison state
Ludwig von Mises Institute
by Daniel J. D'Amico
It is time to take prisons seriously. The United States incarcerates more people than any country in the world today and throughout history. The financial costs are tremendous and rising. One in every one hundred Americans is jailed within this so-called land of the free. Many have committed no violent crimes. Not a few are in for supposed political crimes. Some are wholly innocent of both yet languish in captivity. What are the sociological, political, economic, cultural, and historical consequences of incarceration?

Revisiting the Obama Doctrine
The American Prospect
by Joshua Foust
05/06/11
President Barack Obama began his term defining his foreign policy very simply: Tone down the rhetoric of President George W. Bush, focus on humanitarian issues, and reduce American militarism. Analysts, commentators, and pundits have tried to codify this general approach into an Obama doctrine, a set of coherent ideas that define and explain the president s policies. Two years later, however, it s difficult to say what, exactly, Obama s doctrine actually is. It is even more difficult to see a departure from President Bush s foreign policy...

Bin Laden s free pass
In These Times
by Gareth Porter
05/05/11
When George W. Bush rejected a Taliban offer to have Osama bin Laden tried by a moderate group of Islamic states in mid-October 2001, he gave up the only opportunity the United States would have to end bin Laden s terrorist career for the next nine years. The al-Qaeda leader was able to escape into Pakistan a few weeks later, because the Bush administration had no military plan to capture him...
