Veterans Should be Revered - Six Hours A Week: Adventures of a Sudden Patrio…: May 11, 2:53am 1 review government, iraq, news, liberties-rights, veterans
http://www.sixhoursaweek.com/2008/05/veterans-should-be-revered.html; From the page: "I was never cold or hungry or exposed to depleted uranium, or dodging sniper fire. I didn't have to see friends and civilians killed, or hear agonized screams and cries. I wasn't required to kill. Imagine recovering from combat. How do people come home to their families after facing such unending stress and horrors? How do they ever find "normal" again? Deal with becoming disabled and struggling to pay the bills, or being stuck at Walter Reed? We have over 300,000 troops suffering from PTSD and a veteran suicide epidemic. Veterans should never have to want for anything again. They should finish their days in absolute comfort, have the best medical and psychological care, housing credits, and scholarships for their children. Veterans should not be homeless. That it took domestic, government-sanctioned repression for me to "get" to some small degree what it would be like to recover from military work is one of many unexpected gifts and ironies."

American Civil Liberties Union : ACLU Skeptical of Senate Report on &8220;Homegr…: May 11, 2:40am 2 reviews government, law, news, liberties-rights
http://www.aclu.org/safefree/general/35221prs20080508.html; Looks like the Homegrown Terrorism Bill may be alive after all... From the page: "After Senators Joseph Lieberman (I-CT) and Susan Collins (R-ME) introduced a report on Islamic homegrown terrorism today, the American Civil Liberties Union strongly urged Congress to use caution when moving forward on related legislation, the Violent Radicalization and Homegrown Terrorism Prevention Act of 2007 (S. 1959). The report, "Violent Islamist Extremism, the Internet, and the Homegrown Terrorism Threat," is based on findings from hearings held by the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. The ACLU and nearly twenty other groups sent a memo to the committee outlining concerns with the report, most notably the free speech implications of labeling the internet as a "weapon" and the unfair singling out of one religious group as possible "extremists." "Once we begin trying to regulate belief systems, we have veered perilously far from the Constitution," said Caroline Fredrickson, director of the ACLU Washington Legislative Office. "Though the need to prevent criminal acts of violence is unquestionable, targeting communities based on religious beliefs is unacceptable and unproductive. We will only end up stigmatizing the Islamic community and creating a nation of Islamophobes. We should not be legislating against thought and we should certainly not be regulating religious or unpopular thought. A dynamic debate can only make this country stronger and safer.""

Deseret News | Ellsberg denounces lies of Vietnam, Iraq wars: May 11, 2:33am 1 review government, law, news, liberties-rights
http://deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,700224682,00.html; From the page: "Ellsberg said that many of the government activities carried out covertly in the late '60s and early '70s �" wiretapping, illegal detention, attempts to control press access �" are currently sanctioned by provisions of the Patriot Act. These new powers granted to the country's executive branch, combined with what Ellsberg described as a declaration of war without congressional approval, bears more resemblance to a monarchy than a republic, he said. This, said Ellsberg, diverges far from the intent of the U.S. Founding Fathers."

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5iQ7ChrKTE0l3-dXc-jVlOg7rRtrgD90HP46G0; From the page: "The CIA must let a judge view a 2002 memo purportedly including waterboarding among interrogation methods to be used on prisoners in U.S. custody so he can decide whether it should be made public, the judge ruled Thursday."

Since representing Georgia's 7th Congressional District from 1995 to 2003, Barr has reinvented himself as a forceful critic of the Bush administration, crusading for smaller government and protection of civil liberties. "Shrinking the size, the scope, the power and the cost of government" is his campaign mantra. "

Good will always trump evil | Herald Sun: May 11, 2:25am 1 review religion, spirituality
http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23676793-24909,00.html; From the page: "In his recently published book Understanding Reality Religion, Hiley H. Ward promotes the idea of "reality religion" based on the acceptance that good and evil coexist in this world. "To consider one, you must consider the other," Ward wrote. "They are flip sides of the same coin. Tossed in the air you can examine both sides.""
