NYTimes: "The senior Pentagon official in charge of military detainees suspected of terrorism said in an interview this week that he was dismayed that lawyers at many of the nation's top firms were representing prisoners at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and that the firms' corporate clients should consider ending their business ties."
Where did Charles D. Stimson get his training, with the Gestapo?
CommonDreams: "The launch of a new electroshock device to be sold to the public - just days after the deaths of two men who were stunned by police officers using similar products - has brought new calls for a moratorium on the sale and use of such instruments.
The new Taser C2 looks like a high-tech personal shaver and comes in several colors like an iPod - including electric blue. And it's designed to fit in a purse, to bring law-enforcement technology to consumers.
But that is precisely what worries groups like Amnesty International, which has renewed its call to suspend the use of Tasers by law enforcement - and the untrained public - until there are further independent studies of their safety."
Polizeros: "Green activist Ken Krayeske was photographing Connecticut Republican Governor Rell's inaugural parade this January when he was arrested for no apparent reason."
MSNBC: "A U.S. Border Patrol agent shot and killed a 22-year-old Mexican who was crossing illegally into the United States, U.S. police said Saturday."
Yes, we've seen that before in Berlin, 1962.
In the meantime the Murkan idiots (not to be confused with real Americans like Cindy Sheehan) don't know what reason or season it is.

Indymedia: "As Blair bangs on about how the media spoil his war, showing the wrong sort of pictures, confusion broke out this morning at Mark Wallinger's opening at the Tate.
Using extensive reference photographs Wallinger has has managed in his work 'State Britain' to re-create an exact copy of Brian Haw's protest camp as it was prior to 23rd May's police raid. Today's press call was to encourage us to photograph the art made from the photographs, so to speak."
