More wikileaks The embattled webiste wikileaks released more docs about the American Gulag at Guantánamo Cuba last week. NPR, NYT and others claim they did not get this set of memos from wikileaks this time. According to Kevin Poulson at Wired.com, "The Times, which has been out of favor with WikiLeaks since running a profile of founder Julian Assange last October, reportedly acquired the secret-spilling website’s newest release indirectly through another source, and then passed it to the U.K.’s Guardian and NPR." We go to The Telegraph for WikiLeaks: Guantánamo files database released by Christopher Hope: The files were passed to the Telegraph by WikiLeaks and have been specially formatted into a searchable database for visitors to its website. The Guantánamo files database in full (at telegraph.co.uk) America’s own analysis of almost 10 years of controversial interrogations on the world’s most dangerous terrorists is contained within the files. They show at least 35 extremists were indoctrinated in British mosques and then went to fight the West in Afghanistan. They also disclose how some 150 innocent people – from an illiterate farmhand to a wood-gatherer who did not know his own age – were incarcerated at the camp. Visit those links to see the searchable databases yourself! Greg Mitchell of The Nation has been following the wikileaks releases so see The WikiLeaks News & Views Blog for Tuesday, Day 150 10:50 Full review of the Gitmo files, and the coverage, around the world from Foreign Policy, with list of new revelations and details added to what was known before. For example: "At least 10 foreign governments, including China, Tunisia, Morocco, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Tajikistan, Jordan, Algeria, Yemen and Kuwait were allowed to send agents to interrogate detainees (Guardian)" and 8:50 Andrew Cohen at The Atlantic: No Wonder Congress Wants to Hide The Gitmo Detainees In a perfect world -- by which I mean a world in which the culpable are required to at least account for their choices if not pay for them -- House Republicans or Senate Democrats would soon be clamoring anew to call to Capitol Hill for sworn testimony men like former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, former White House staffer David Addington, and others who are responsible for the way our government treated the prisoners after 9/11. Anyone want to lay odds on that happening? It's no wonder Congress has decided to try to bury the detainees at Gitmo, figuratively if not literally, by precluding federal civilian trials for some of the men. Such trials would have revealed -- to American juries and the world's media -- much of the information that is contained in the new documents. Better to prey upon the fears and prejudices of the American people -- there's that government myth-making again -- than to face the consequences of the official conduct that was undertaken in our name. Indeed, the documents reveal just how cowardly Congress was in its handling of the case of Khalid Sheik Mohammed. Greg does a great job so check out more of his daily posts. Next Julian Glover of The Guardian.co.uk explains how Guantánamo piled lie upon lie through the momentum of its own existence. What is given new prominence by these leaked Guantánamo files is the cold and incompetent stupidity of the system. ... "If you could only know what we can know, you would understand that what we are doing is right," our leaders used to assure us. Well now we really do know – we have the documents, we have the transcripts of interviews with former prisoners, we have everything it takes to understand the nasty story of Guantánamo, exposed today in 759 leaked documents containing the words of the people who ran the place. And it is obvious that we should have seen through the evasions from the start. ... But what is given new prominence by these latest Guantánamo files is the cold, incompetent stupidity of the system: a system that tangled up the old and the young, the sick and the innocent. A system in which to say you were not a terrorist might be taken as evidence of your cunning. A system designed less to hand out justice than to process and supply information from inmates, as if they were not humans but items of digital data in some demented storage machine programmed always to reject the answer "No, I was not involved". The clinical idiocy of this dreadful place is the most chilling thing of all, since it strips away even the cynical but persuasive defence: it was harsh but it worked and it kept the world safe. It didn't work, much of the time. These files show that some of the information collected was garbage and that many of those held knew nothing that could be of use to the people demanding answers from them. Far from securing the fight against terror, the people running the camp faced an absurdist battle to educate a 14-year-old peasant boy kidnapped by an Afghan tribe and treat the dementia, depression and osteoarthritis of an 89-year-old man caught up in a raid on his son's house. Other cases are just as pathetic. ... The final indictment of Guantánamo is not just that it broke the rule of law temporarily, but that by doing so it made the breach permanent. Justified as a way of gathering information from the guilty, it forced the innocent to invent falsehoods as well. The security forces and politicians who permitted the camp often accuse its critics of being simplistic and squeamish. They say that the things that happened inside it were much less nasty than the things the people it contains did to others. In some cases that's right. But the Guantánamo system piled lie upon lie through the momentum of its own existence, until no one could know which those cases were, or what was true. Lastly see Glenn Greenwald at Salon.com for Newly leaked documents show the ongoing travesty of Guantanamo & FBI serves Grand Jury subpoena likely relating to WikiLeaks both must-reads in their entirety and see his interview below on DN! too. Then go to TomDispatch.com for a lengthy discussion Tomgram: McCoy and Reilly, An Empire of Failed States The creation or support of elites has, as Alfred McCoy and Brett Reilly write, always been crucial to running global empires. And yet client elites are one of those subjects seldom given much thought, even though Great Britain, for instance, ruled its Indian Raj with striking, if oppressive, efficiency for endless decades with surprisingly few personnel from England. How else, after all, could a global empire continue? And yet, as a great power’s strength and influence wane, those bets -- like the one Washington placed in Egypt -- begin to go awry, from an imperial point of view. If McCoy, a TomDispatch regular and the author most recently of Policing America’s Empire, and Reilly are right, Washington’s touch, when it comes to keeping local elites in line, may indeed be “on the rocks.” Washington on the Rocks - An Empire of Autocrats, Aristocrats, and Uniformed Thugs Begins to Totter By Alfred W. McCoy and Brett Reilly It seems some of the autocrats have been doing their bits of magic in the U.S. as well. See these graphs provided by MoveOn.org These five charts fully explain the definition of ”American Exceptionalism.” Check ‘em out. Yes do check these out. Paul Krugman certainly understands how this all works and tells us so in Let's Take a Hike My description of the budget debate is in no way an exaggeration. Consider the Ryan budget proposal, which all the Very Serious People assured us was courageous and important. That proposal begins by warning that “a major debt crisis is inevitable” unless we confront the deficit. It then calls, not for tax increases, but for tax cuts, with taxes on the wealthy falling to their lowest level since 1931. And because of those large tax cuts, the only way the Ryan proposal can even claim to reduce the deficit is through savage cuts in spending, mainly falling on the poor and vulnerable. (A realistic assessment suggests that the proposal would actually increase the deficit.) ... The point is that we aren’t that heavily taxed, either by historical standards or in comparison with other nations. So if you’re truly horrified by the budget deficit, why not propose tax increases as part of the solution? Wait, there’s more. The core of the Ryan proposal is a plan to privatize and defund Medicare. Yet this would do nothing to reduce the deficit over the next 10 years, which is why all the near-term deficit reduction comes from brutal reductions in aid to the needy and unspecified cuts in discretionary spending. Tax increases, by contrast, can be fast-acting remedies for red ink. And that’s why the only major budget proposal out there offering a plausible path to balancing the budget is the one that includes significant tax increases: the “People’s Budget” from the Congressional Progressive Caucus, which — unlike the Ryan plan, which was just right-wing orthodoxy with an added dose of magical thinking — is genuinely courageous because it calls for shared sacrifice.... But if the progressive proposal has all these virtues, why isn’t it getting anywhere near as much attention as the much less serious Ryan proposal? It’s true that it has no chance of becoming law anytime soon. But that’s equally true of the Ryan proposal. The answer, I’m sorry to say, is the insincerity of many if not most self-proclaimed deficit hawks. To the extent that they care about the deficit at all, it takes second place to their desire to do precisely what the People’s Budget avoids doing, namely, tear up our current social contract, turning the clock back 80 years under the guise of necessity. They don’t want to be told that such a radical turn to the right is not, in fact, necessary. But, it isn’t, as the progressive budget proposal shows. We do need to bring the deficit down, although we aren’t facing an immediate crisis. How we go about stemming the tide of red ink is, however, a choice — and by making tax increases part of the solution, we can avoid savaging the poor and undermining the security of the middle class. Thanks Professor Krugman, but we don't think the autocrats are ready to give up all their wealth because TruthDig.com's Chris Hedges announces The Corporate State Wins Again: The massive redistribution of wealth, as Hacker and Pierson write, happened because lawmakers and public officials were, in essence, hired to permit it to happen. It was not a conspiracy. The process was transparent. It did not require the formation of a new political party or movement. It was the result of inertia by our political and intellectual class, which in the face of expanding corporate power found it personally profitable to facilitate it or look the other way. The armies of lobbyists, who write the legislation, bankroll political campaigns and disseminate propaganda, have been able to short-circuit the electorate. Hacker and Pierson pinpoint the administration of Jimmy Carter as the start of our descent, but I think it began long before with Woodrow Wilson, the ideology of permanent war and the capacity by public relations to manufacture consent. Empires die over such long stretches of time that the exact moment when terminal decline becomes irreversible is probably impossible to document. That we are at the end, however, is beyond dispute. ... The game is over. We lost. The corporate state will continue its inexorable advance until two-thirds of the nation is locked into a desperate, permanent underclass. Following up on the labor struggles in Wisconsin Eric Kleefeld at TMP updates us on the Wisconsin recall efforts Wis. Election Officials Seek To Hold Recalls On July 12 The Wisconsin Government Accountability Board (GAB), which oversees elections in the state, is seeking a timeline that would allow state Senate recall elections to be held on July 12 -- consolidating many different recalls into one day. ... Without such an extension/consolidation maneuver, it's possible that recalls would take place over several weeks, going one at a time. Instead, the GAB's request would put them on one day -- a mega-recall day covering a quarter of the chamber. ... Also, while the GAB's filing lists eight recalls that have been filed for review thus far, the number is actually set to grow to nine or more. While the Fukushima disaster rages on Bloomberg goes with this headline: Nuclear Future Is Now Because That’s Where Profit Is for Exelon: Real M&A while you may recall Kate Sheppard of Mother Jones noting last year "Executives and employees of Exelon, the Illinois-based utility that produces approximately 20 percent of the country's nuclear power, donated nearly $210,000 to Obama's presidential campaign, according to CQ Moneyline" Meanwhile Nuclear-News.net has a Roundup of news on Fukushima nuclear reactor crisis from Friday with plenty of links. Sunday's Beltway Bubalas will ignore all of this as usual. State of the Candy has a bunch of "formers" (sheesh can't you get anybody current?). This Anampout lets PAUL RYAN try to defend his so-called "budget" while Meet the David gets KING BLOOMBERG and DAVID AXELROD and Florida's zany MARCO RUBIO. Face the Bob commisserates with JOHN "Crazy Train" MCCAIN and ERIC DYSON. Save some bricks for the fact-challenged tea-party nut MICHELE BACHMAN on the lying Fake Snooze Sunday. Plenty more real news below in the BTV Alerts and all our regulars. The Brick TeeVee Crew woke up Thursday to two giant maple trees that were blown down into the back yard of the compound Wednesday night by 70-MPH gusts. Yikes! No injuries but we have plenty of fire wood now after we cut it all up! Then the Crew made their way to The Prog to see a WALK-OFF GRAND SLAM by catcher CARLOS SANTANA for their 11th home win in a row! Then on Saturday it took the Tribe 13 innings before they got a bases-loaded hit from ORLANDO CABRERA to extend the streak to 12. With these two wins it launched the 2011 Indians team into the record books with their team-best-ever April going 18-8. The Tribe swept the Royals earlier in the week by bashing NINE homers giving them four sweeps already, the same amount they had all last year, and look to sweep the Tigers on Sunday before heading for the west coast to match up with The A's and Angels. Go Tribe! Catch a game if you can and have a great week!
