Newsone: "The Pentagon's top uniformed lawyers took issue Thursday with a key part of a White House plan to prosecute terrorism detainees, telling Congress that limiting the suspects' access to evidence could violate treaty obligations."
TheAdvocate: "The owner of a company that had done political and public opinion polls for several candidates has pleaded guilty to fraud for making up survey and poll results."
DemocracyNow: "A U.S. District court in Manhattan held a hearing Wednesday on a lawsuit brought by soldiers from the New York National Guard who have been sick since being exposed to depleted uranium while serving in Iraq."
Guardian: "More than a year before the invasion of Iraq the CIA devised a plan, codenamed Anabasis, to use Iraqi exile fighters to seize an air base and declare a revolt against Saddam Hussein in the hope that his response would create a pretext for war, according to a book published tomorrow."
The title of the book is Hubris.
The walls of the Empire are closing in and some are hitting their heads against them. The only resource left to the neocons is to try to rewrite history and blame someone else. Like blaming Clinton for 9/11. The mainstream media are still intent on replacing truth and reality with their own concocted fiction, the disneyfication of America.
Yahoo: "A miniseries about the events leading up to the Sept. 11 attacks is 'terribly wrong' and ABC should correct it or not air it, a group of former Clinton administration officials said in letters to the head of the network's parent company.
'The content of this drama is factually and incontrovertibly inaccurate and ABC has a duty to fully correct all errors or pull the drama entirely. It is unconscionable to mislead the American public about one of the most horrendous tragedies our country has ever known.'
'ABC/Disney acknowledges this show is fiction and in direct contradiction of the 9/11 commission report and the facts, and it is despicable that ABC/Disney would insist on airing a fictional version of what is a serious and emotional event for our country,' Clinton Foundation spokesman Jay Carson said in a statement Thursday. 'No reputable organization should dramatize 9/11 for a profit at the expense of the truth.'"
AmericaBlog: "Friday morning, we'll explore why Steve Jobs, who is on the board of Disney, is aiding and abetting Disney's partisan effort to steal the election by permitting the free download of the fictitous 9/11 TV show via iTunes."
ThinkProgress: "Over 50,000 ThinkProgress readers have written ABC in the last 48 hours about 'The Path to 9/11'. We're going to keep the pressure on ABC, but we're also broadening our focus today to the Walt Disney Company, which owns ABC."

ITV: "Tony Blair is facing a fresh challenge to his leadership from union bosses warning Labour could lose the next election if he does not step down immediately."
BBC: "Tony Blair was booed and faced chants of 'out, out, out' by pupils at the school at which he made a statement about his future."
Only a crook would cling to power in front of so much dissent.

CommonDreams: "Global warming gases trapped in the soil are bubbling out of the thawing permafrost in amounts far higher than previously thought and may trigger what researchers warn is a climate time bomb.
Methane - a greenhouse gas 23 times more powerful than carbon dioxide - is being released from the permafrost at a rate five times faster than thought, according to a study being published today in the journal Nature. The findings are based on new, more accurate measuring techniques."
