Flag of GazaSix weeks after the Freedom Flotilla ships were forcibly boarded in international waters, their passengers illegally jailed and the cargo impounded by the Israeli authorities, the office of the United Nations Special Co-ordinator for the Middle East (UNSCO) has promised to deliver the full humanitarian aid cargo to UN. agencies in Gaza.

Pakistan Cannot Play Both Sides Forever

David CameronThe Wikileaks revelations about murderous collusion between Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) agency and the Afghan Taliban have underlined the central role that country plays in the sponsorship of terrorism. This is despite the US disbursing $1 billion a year to enable the Pakistanis to fight it. In this respect, it would seem that enemies like Iran or Syria are a secondary problem.

DOJ Accused of Stalling on MOVE Act for Voters in Military

SoldierThe Department of Justice is ignoring a new law aimed at protecting the right of American soldiers to vote, according to two former DOJ attorneys who say states are being encouraged to use waivers to bypass the new federal Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act.

The MOVE Act, enacted last October, ensures that servicemen and women serving overseas have ample time to get in their absentee ballots. The result of the DOJ’s alleged inaction in enforcing the act, say Eric Eversole and J. Christian Adams — both former litigation attorneys for the DOJ’s Voting Section — could be that thousands of soldiers’ ballots will arrive too late to be counted.

GOP Senate Candidate Ken Buck Calls Birthers “Dumbasses”

Ken buckColorado Republican Senate candidate Ken Buck has once again talked himself into some trouble – this time by calling certain tea-party activists “dumbasses” for questioning the legitimacy of President Obama’s birth certificate.

According to the Denver Post, Buck was caught on tape saying in June, “Will you tell those dumbasses at the Tea Party to stop asking questions about birth certificates while I’m on camera.” He added, laughing: “God, what am I supposed to do?”

Buck was speaking to a Democratic operative who had secretly recorded the conversation.

Buck, who enjoys strong support from the Tea Party movement, has since somewhat walked back the remarks, though he focused on language, not content.

Why Some Republicans Want to ‘Restore’ the 13th Amendment

The Constitution of the United StatesIf there is an aspect of the human condition that is unaddressed by the platform of the Republican Party of Iowa, adopted last month at the state convention in Des Moines, you’d have to look awfully hard to find it. Its 387 enumerated planks and principles range widely over politics, culture, and economics, from sweeping statements of belief (“America is good”) to the fine nuances of agricultural policy (“We support the definition of manure as natural fertilizer”) and touching on the mythical “North American Union” (against) and the gold standard (for).

Insurers Said to Hurt Troops’ Families

Insurance CompaniesGiant life-insurance companies have figured out a way to hold onto death benefits owed to bereaved families, including parents and spouses of U.S. soldiers killed in combat in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to a six-month investigation appearing in the September issue of Bloomberg Markets magazine.

“MetLife and Prudential lead the way in making hundreds of millions of dollars in secret profits every year on money that belongs to relatives of those who die,” a Bloomberg news release says.

Most Back Arizona Law shows CNN Poll

U.S. Mexico BorderMost Americans support Arizona’s new law on illegal immigration, but according to a national poll, a majority think the controversial measure will increase discrimination against Hispanics while not necessarily making a dent in the problem.

A new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. survey also indicates that Hispanic and whites don’t see eye to eye over the law.

Fifty-five percent of people questioned in the poll say they favor the measure, with four in 10 saying they oppose the law. Thirty-four percent of white respondents oppose the measure, but among Hispanics, that number jumps to 71 percent.

Leaked Files Indicate U.S. Pays Afghan Media to Run Friendly Stories

WikileaksBuried among the 92,000 classified documents released Sunday by WikiLeaks is some intriguing evidence that the U.S. military in Afghanistan has adopted a PR strategy that got it into trouble in Iraq: paying local media outlets to run friendly stories.

Several reports from Army psychological operations units and provincial reconstruction teams (also known as PRTs, civilian-military hybrids tasked with rebuilding Afghanistan) show that local Afghan radio stations were under contract to air content produced by the United States. Other reports show U.S. military personnel apparently referring to Afghan reporters as “our journalists” and directing them in how to do their jobs.

SEC Says New Financial Regulation Law Exempts it From Public Disclosure

Securities and Exchange CommissionSo much for transparency.

Under a little-noticed provision of the recently passed financial-reform legislation, the Securities and Exchange Commission no longer has to comply with virtually all requests for information releases from the public, including those filed under the Freedom of Information Act.

The law, signed last week by President Obama, exempts the SEC from disclosing records or information derived from “surveillance, risk assessments, or other regulatory and oversight activities.” Given that the SEC is a regulatory body, the provision covers almost every action by the agency, lawyers say. Congress and federal agencies can request information, but the public cannot.
