Will McCain Name Torture Ships for Big Donors?

Leave a Comment /

By David Swanson

The United States maintains secret prisons on ships in the ocean in order to detain people outside the reach or even the knowledge of any system of law, the better to torture the ever-living cheney out of them. Over at the Black Commentator, Glen Ford (now at the Black Agenda Report) has been calling the Bush Cheney gang pirates for years. And the point is not just that they’re criminals, but that they are outlaws, killers, and thieves who operate outside any national allegiance read more

A Veteran's Declaration of Independence for July 4, 2008

Leave a Comment /

By David Swanson

The Declaration of Independence is frequently cited but rarely read, and even more rarely updated. Remarkably, it needs very little updating to apply to the latest King George III. A couple of years ago, in preparation for July 4th events, Veterans for Peace (VFP) came up with the Declaration of Impeachment, which changes very few words from the original Declaration of Independence: http://afterdowningstreet.org/declarationofimpeachment

Now they’ve come up with a new Declaration read more

Goodnight room.

Goodnight refinery plume.

If you’ve ever been a child or a parent you’ve probably read a book called “Goodnight Moon.” I’ve just read a new parody version called “Goodnight Bush.” It’s wonderfully done, with endless bizarre and troubling and humourous details to spot on every page. It’s also an excellent example of a weird and disturbing phenomenon. While there is no serious massive civil disobedience in Washington read more

State and Local Prosecutors Can Take Down Bush

Leave a Comment /

By David Swanson

Former prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi’s new book “The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder” is not just a particularly good addition to the ten-foot high stack of rants against Bush’s crimes and abuses of power. It’s also an argument that state and local prosecutors have the necessary jurisdiction to try Bush for murder and for conspiracy to commit murder, at least once he’s out of office.

This is not a scheme based on some harebrained theory read more

We must rapidly begin the shift from a thing-oriented society to a person-oriented society. When machines and computers, profit motives and property rights, are considered more important than read more

The Fourth Amendment is under warrantless surveillance and scared for its life.

The Fifth, Sixth, and Seventh Amendments have been detained without charge.

And the Eighth Amendment is presently undergoing waterboarding.
