CIA Leak: What If Foreigners See the United States as an "Exporter of Terrorism"?

This CIA "Red Cell" report from February 2, 2010, looks at what will happen if it is internationally understood that the United States is an exporter of terrorism. The report looks at a number cases of US exported terrorism, including attacks by US based or financed Jewish, Muslim and Irish-nationalism terrorists.

Bush: "Mission accomplished". Obama...

I made a graphic. From the Jason Ditz article on Antiwar.com: "It was another of those great TV moments. Embedded reports filming as the "last" brigade of American troops in Iraq cross the border into Kuwait bringing over seven years of unhappy conflict to its final, conclusive end. America was, at last, at peace. But like so many other great TV moments, this one was a scripted fantasy, a fake exit done purely for political gain by an increasingly unpopular president trying to look like he is keeping at least one campaign promise."

Pay Daze

Thanks to an agreement worked out between the city and the police union, three officers under investigation for allegedly beating a Homewood teen are getting paid overtime without ever setting foot on the streets or buckling into a patrol car -- and that may continue for a while. Officers Richard Ewing, Michael Saldutte and David Sisak were placed on paid administrative leave in February following their controversial Jan. 12 arrest of 18-year-old then-CAPA High School student Jordan Miles, who has accused the officers of attacking him without cause. But while the three officers enjoy extended vacations, the city has ensured that their wallets are at least as fat as they were when the officers were actually working.

Pentagon demands Wikileaks herd and rebag 100,000's of digital cats

On July 25th, Wikileaks not only published a database of 91,000 U.S. military files classified at the "secret" level from the war in Afghanistan, but it offered the raw database files in several formats for anyone with an internet connection to download. One click and a 15MB standard *csv file was available in its entirety for anyone to load up in desktop database software such as MS Access or FileMaker Pro. Now the Pentagon wants Wikileaks to give it all back.

Summer 2010 Appeal

I am writing to you on the eve of the U.S. Social Forum, from a warehouse loft in Detroit's Eastern Market district. For someone whose activism has often had a strong international focus, this city is a stark reminder of the scale of social problems in the United States, with entire streets and city blocks of abandoned homes. I am in Michigan volunteering with "Tech House", a collective of people with computer and communications skills, that was formed to support what is the largest national gathering of people with progressive politics in the United States.
