Torture is a war crime the government treats like a policy debate
Torture architects are television pundits and given enormous book contracts while Guantanamo detainees still can’t discuss what happened to them
The Senate commendably passed an amendment outlawing torture by a wide margin on Monday, but given that torture is already against the law - both through existing US statute and by international treaty - what does that really mean?
One would’ve thought pre-9/11 that it would be hard to write the current law prohibiting torture any more clearly. Nothing should have allowed the Bush administration to get away with secretly interpreting laws out of existence or given the CIA authority to act with impunity. The only reason a host of current and former CIA officials aren’t already in jail is because of cowardice on the Obama administration, which refused to prosecute Bush administration officials who authorized the torture program, those who destroyed evidence of it after the fact or even those who went beyond the brutal torture techniques that the administration shamefully did authorize.
Since the Senate report reinvigorated the torture debate six months ago, Obama officials have continued to try their hardest to make the controversy go away by stifling Freedom of Information Act requests for the full report and, in many cases, refusing to even read it. And Bush-era law-breakers were even given the courtesy of having their names redacted from the report, sparing them of public shaming or criticism, despite clear public interest to the contrary.
Instead of treating torture as the criminal matter that it is, the Obama administration effectively turned it into a policy debate, a fight over whether torture “worked”. It didn’t of course, as mountains of evidence has proved, but it’s mind-boggling we’re even having that debate considering that torture is a clear-cut war crime. It’s like debating the legality of child slavery while opening your opening argument with: “well, it is good for the economy.”
It's kind of sad that the best, most comprehensive discussion of torture on teevee is presented by a comedy show rather than one of the great 'Merkan demockery's many "news" outlets.
Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Torture
Senate passes torture ban despite Republican opposition
Despite 21 Republican senators rejecting push to prevent future administrations from enacting Bush-era CIA torture programs, bipartisan amendment passes
More than 20 Republican senators rejected a ban on the use of cruel and degrading treatment of prisoners on Tuesday, voting against an ultimately successful measure to permanently prevent a repeat of the CIA’s once secret and now widely-discredited torture program.
The bipartisan amendment reaffirms President Barack Obama’s prohibition of interrogation techniques such as waterboarding and sleep deprivation, which were developed by the CIA under the administration of his predecessor, George W Bush.
The measure passed in the Senate, 78-21. ...
The McCain-Feinstein amendment codifies an existing ban on torture introduced by Obama shortly after he was installed in the White House in 2009. Obama’s executive order, which restricts all government employees, including CIA agents, to only use the techniques specified in the Army Field Manual, could theoretically be reversed by a future president.
Should the McCain-Feinstein amendment be made law, however, it will be harder for future administrations to repeat the actions of the Bush administration, which used controversial legal opinions to justify torturing detainees. The amendment would also turn into law a second component of the Obama order, which requires the Red Cross to have access to detainees in US custody, bringing America into line with the Geneva convention.
Why Did It Take the Pentagon a Month to Figure Out Its Files Were Compromised?
In a report shared with Congress, the DIA stated that Snowden took over 900,000 Defense Department files. There is no way to verify the accuracy of that number since the head of the DIA has muddied the distinction between documents that Snowden “touched” and documents that he downloaded and brought overseas. In any case, Snowden had access to at least 900,000 Pentagon files. And Leopold says newly released public records show that the DoD “first learned that Snowden took documents containing Department of Defense information on July 10, 2013, about a month after Snowden disclosed that he was the source of the leaks about the NSA's controversial surveillance programs.”
Isn’t that striking?
A systems administrator with broad access to state secrets announced to the world that he had fled abroad with countless highly sensitive documents. And even after that, it took the Department of Defense another month to figure out that some of their highly sensitive documents were implicated. ...
These new details from DIA documents are further confirmation that the national-security bureaucracy is neither able to protect the highly sensitive information that it retains on tens of millions of innocents nor to stop employees who are determined to break the rules. This is part of why it should never be trusted to act without oversight more intense than now exists or to wield the degree of power that it now possesses.
America hates its whistle-blowers: The tortured legacy of Edward Snowden
On the second anniversary of Snowden’s historic act of civil disobedience, it is worth reviewing what has changed — and what has not.
On the change side of the ledger, there is the politics of surveillance. For much of the early 2000s, politicians of both parties competed with one another to show who would be a bigger booster of the NSA’s operations, fearing that any focus on civil liberties risked their being branded soft on terrorism. Since Snowden, though, the political paradigm has dramatically shifted.
The most illustrative proof that came last month, when the U.S. Senate failed to muster enough votes to reauthorize the law that aims to allow the NSA to engage in mass surveillance. ... Monumental as those congressional and public opinion shifts are, though, far fewer changes are evident in the government’s executive branch.
For example, the Obama administration is celebrating the two-year anniversary of Snowden’s disclosures by intensifying its crackdown on government whistleblowers. After prosecuting more such whistleblowers than any previous administration, Obama’s appointees are specifically moving forward a rule that the nonpartisan Project On Government Oversight says would deny “federal employees in ‘sensitive’ positions the right to appeal a termination or demotion” when they expose wrongdoing. In practice, writes POGO’s Elizabeth Hempowicz, the rule would make “whistleblowers who hold these positions particularly vulnerable to retaliation.”
The Obama administration has also not stopped its selective enforcement of laws against those who mislead Congress or leak classified government information.
Back to Iraq: No really, these troops are just here to advise
Words seem to mean different things in the Middle East. “Training” is a new term for escalation, and “Iraq” seems more and more like the Arabic word for Vietnam. ...
In August 2014, Obama turned an emotional appeal to save the Yazidi people from Islamic State into a bombing campaign. A massive tap was turned and arms flowed into the region. The number of American soldiers in Iraq zoomed up to 3,100, quietly joined by some 6,300 civilian contractors. The reputed mission was training – or whipping the Iraqi Army into shape.
After another inglorious retreat of the Iraqi Army, this time in Ramadi, the Obama administration last week announced a change: America will send 450 more troops to establish a new base at al Taqaddum, Anbar Province.
It is clear the United States no longer believes the Iraqi Army exists. What is left of it is largely a politically correct distribution tool for American weapons, and a fiction for the media. America will instead work directly with three sectarian militias in their separate de facto states (current bases in America’s Iraqi archipelago include one in Sunni Anbar, another in Kurdish territory and three in Shi’ite-controlled areas). The hope is that the militias will divert their attention from one another long enough to focus on Islamic State. It is, of course, impossible; everyone in Iraq — except the Americans — knows Islamic State is a symptom of a broader civil war, not a stand-alone threat to anyone’s homeland.
It is also significant that the United States will circumvent Baghdad’s objections to arming and training Sunni tribes. Baghdad has not sent any new recruits to the U.S. training facility at Ain al-Asad, in Sunni territory, for about six weeks; the United States will instead engage directly with Sunni recruits at Taqaddum. Obama’s new plan will also bring U.S. arms for the Sunnis straight into the new base, bypassing Baghdad’s control.
This is likely only the beginning of Obama’s surge. General Martin Dempsey, chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, outlined the establishment of what he called “lily pads” — American base-lets scattered around the country. Of course, like Taqaddum, these lily pads will require hundreds more American military advisers to serve as flies, at risk of being snapped up by an Islamic State frog. Any attack on U.S. troops would require a response, a cycle that could draw the U.S. deeper into open conflict.
In sum: More troops, more bases, more forward-leaning roles, all operating at times against the will of a host government the United States appears to have lost patience with. The bright light of victory is years down a long tunnel.
We’ve seen this before. It was Vietnam.
One difference between Iraq and Vietnam, however, is sharp as a razor. The United States eventually left Vietnam. ... But unlike in Iraq, the United States was not foolish enough to go back.
The Taliban Tells the Islamic State to Get the Hell Out of Afghanistan
The latest salvo in the battle for extremist allegiance between the Taliban and the Islamic State (IS) arrived today in the form of a strongly worded letter.
In cautioning IS to back off in Afghanistan, the Taliban wrote that if the two militant groups were to become rivals in the country, decades of fighting foreign powers and the Afghan government could be undone.
"Jihad against the American invaders and its puppets should be carried out under a single flag, a single leadership, and a single order," read the letter signed by deputy Taliban leader Mullah Akhtar Mohammad Mansour and addressed to IS leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi and his followers.
The letter, which was released Tuesday in several languages, told Baghdadi that he shouldn't "from far away make such decisions" that would threaten the integrity of the "Islamic Emirate," a term the Taliban uses to refer to its territory. The Taliban further threatened to "show its reaction against" the Islamic State should it not heed the Taliban's words.
As Stress Drives Off Drone Operators, Air Force Must Cut Flights
After a decade of waging long-distance war through their video screens, America’s drone operators are burning out, and the Air Force is being forced to cut back on the flights even as military and intelligence officials are demanding more of them over intensifying combat zones in Iraq, Syria and Yemen.
The Air Force plans to trim the flights by the armed surveillance drones to 60 a day by October from a recent peak of 65 as it deals with the first serious exodus of the crew members who helped usher in the era of war by remote control.
Air Force officials said that this year they would lose more drone pilots, who are worn down by the unique stresses of their work, than they can train. ...
The reduction could also create problems for the C.I.A., which has used Air Force pilots to conduct drone missile attacks on terrorism suspects in Pakistan and Yemen, government officials said. And the slowdown comes just as military advances by the Islamic State have placed a new premium on aerial surveillance and counterattacks. ...
A training program is producing only about half of the new pilots that the service needs because the Air Force had to reassign instructors to the flight line to expand the number of flights over the past few years.
Europe adapts to a rising hegemon:
Europe slowly becoming Chinese
Hypocritical NATO Slams Russia for Response to US Deployments
Capping 72 hours of announcements of military buildups in Eastern Europe, NATO today angrily condemned Russia for “sabre rattling” after Russia announced its intentions to respond to US deployments in Eastern Europe with their own deployments in Eastern Europe.
Back on Sunday, the Pentagonstarted talking about “pre-positioning”heavy weapons along the Russian frontier, including several brigades worth of tanks and armored vehicles. At the time, this was presented as trying to reassure NATO members in the region of support against Russia.
Today, Russian President Vladimir Putinsaid the US deployments were the most aggressive act against Russia since the Cold War ended, and talked up improvements to the Russian nuclear arsenal as a way to overcome improved missile defense systems.
Guilty of Killing Journalists, Israel Mocks Foreign Correspondents in Gaza
Israel on Monday provoked the outrage of journalists and human rights campaigners alike when its foreign ministry released a short, animated video mocking foreign correspondents reporting from Gaza.
Critics say the video is especially offensive given Israel's history of repressing, harassing, and killing journalists, particularly in last summer's 50-day military assault on Gaza.
In a style reminiscent of South Park, the 49-second video depicts a naive, blond correspondent reporting from Gaza. The video shows the journalist as a bumbling fool, looking the other way as Hamas combatants launch rockets and transport weapons. After running through a scroll of Islamophobic images, the scene closes with the reprimand: "Open your eyes: terror rules Gaza." ...
With U.S. political and financial backing, Israel killed at least 2,145 Palestinians in 50 days last summer, the vast majority of which were civilians and at least 578 of them children. This compares to 73 Israelis killed in the conflict, almost all of them soldiers.
Israel's victims included numerous journalists, with the International Middle East Media Center putting the number killed at 17; Reporters Without Borders chronicling 15 media workers' deaths; and the Committee to Protect Journalists documenting at least four reporters—most of them Palestinian—who were slain by Israel.
Greece likely to exit euro & EU without deal with creditors – central bank
The 'Big No' Looms as Greek Clash with Troika Reaches Boiling Point
The Greek Central Bank (BOG) on Wednesday warned that if the country's Syriza-led government and international creditors fail to reach a bailout deal, Greece would default and ultimately be forced to exit the European Union.
The dire predictions of "uncontrollable crisis" came from a report by the bank, which was published Wednesday as negotiations between Greece and its creditors, known as the Troika—comprising the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the European Central Bank, and the European Commission—continued with little progress.
But Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras remained steadfast in his vow to reject austerity-driven deals, stating during a press conference Wednesday morning that "[w]e have only one option and that is to find a solution that will be accepted and passed by the government and the parliament... If we do not have an honorable compromise, we will once again say the big no."
Zoe Konstantopoulou, Greek Parliamentary speaker, dismissed the bank's warnings as "totally unacceptable" and returned the report to BOG president Yiannis Stournaras.
Greek central bank governor warns of 'uncontrollable crisis'
Yannis Stournaras tells Greek parliament failure to reach agreement on debt will probably lead to country’s exit from the euro and EU
The governor of Greece’s central bank has warned that his country faces an “uncontrollable crisis”, if a deal cannot be reached in the coming days to release €7.2bn (£5.1bn) in bailout funds and prevent Athens defaulting on its debts.
Amid a fierce war of words between the radical Syriza government and its creditors, Yannis Stournaras used his annual report to the Greek parliament to stress the seriousness of Greece’s plight.
If a deal can be done in the coming days, he said, it would, “fend off the immediate risks to the economy, reduce uncertainty and ensure a sustainable growth outlook for Greece”.
“Failure to reach an agreement would, on the contrary, mark the beginning of a painful course that would lead initially to a Greek default and ultimately to the country’s exit from the euro area and – most likely – from the European Union.”
His remarks came amid growing fears that Greece may be unable to avoid plunging out of the euro. In the UK, a spokeswoman for David Cameron said the government was “stepping up” its preparations for a possible “Grexit”, which she said was a serious economic risk to the UK.

Eric Garner case's secret evidence should be made public, attorneys argue
Information about the grand jury that decided not to bring charges against a police officer in the chokehold death of Eric Garner was “cherry-picked” by a district attorney facing public scrutiny over the case, petitioners told an appeals court on Tuesday.
Attorneys asking for a complete public accounting of the case – basics have been disclosed, evidence has not – asked a panel of four justices at the New York State supreme court’s appellate division to reverse a decision that the grand jury details should not be released.
“Secrecy only reinforces suspicion, and there is deep suspicion here in the communities of color and others,” said James Meyerson, an attorney representing the NAACP, which joined the New York Civil Liberties Union, the Legal Aid Society and the office of New York City public advocate Letitia James in seeking full disclosure. ...
New York state law rigorously protects the secrecy of grand jury evidence, and as such lawyers face a high bar in convincing the panel to allow the disclosure of evidence.
The justices, however, appeared also to question the petitioners’ motivations for wanting the record released. As each petitioner took their turn at the lectern, a justice asked them to clarify the “compelling and particularized” need for disclosure, which is the standard to override secrecy considerations.

Victory: Bangladesh Garment Workers Win Full Compensation
The International Labor Rights Forum is thrilled to announce that two years of campaigning, with over one million people participating, has succeeded in securing $30 million in compensation for the victims of the Rana Plaza building collapse – the deadliest disaster in the history of the global garment industry.
“This campaign victory would not have been possible without the hard work of workers’ rights groups and labor unions on the ground in Bangladesh, and activism from a wide array of allies around the world who held more than a hundred store actions and demonstrations at corporate headquarters,” said Judy Gearhart, Executive Director of the International Labor Rights Forum.
On April 24, 2013, Rana Plaza, an eight-story building housing five garment factories, collapsed, killing at least 1,138 people and injuring another 2,500. Bangladesh lacks a national workplace injury compensation program, and so, in the wake of the tragedy, workers’ rights advocates united in calling on the apparel brands and retailers whose clothes were produced at Rana Plaza to pay full and fair compensation to the injured survivors and the families of the deceased.
This court decision seems pretty capricious and not well thought out. If an employer can fire you for using a course of treatment for a medical condition that does not impinge on work performance, why does that not apply to any kind of treatment? Can an employer fire you for taking blood pressure medication? Statin drugs? Medicines to lower blood sugar for diabetics? Sounds like a great way for an employer to lower their health insurance costs by creaming off the population of people without chronic health conditions.
Colorado Supreme Court Says You Can Be Fired For Smoking Medical Weed
State medical marijuana laws hit an obstacle this week when the Colorado Supreme Court ruled that Dish Network, a satellite service provider, acted within the law when they fired a quadriplegic employee for using the drug.
Brandon Coats obtained a state license for medical marijuana in 2009 to treat muscle spasms caused by a spinal cord injury sustained in a car accident he was involved in as a teenager that left 85 percent of his body paralyzed. Coats, who was working as a customer service representative at Dish Network at the time, said he smoked marijuana at home after work and within the confines of the Colorado's medical marijuana law. He said periods of intoxication would only last between 20 and 30 minutes.
In 2010, however, he ran into problems when he tested positive for marijuana after taking an impromptu drug test ordered by the company. Coats told his employer that he planned to continue using the drug. While the company agreed that he did not consume the marijuana at work he was fired two weeks later for violating Dish Network's zero-tolerance policy. ...
Attorney Michael Evans has spent five years litigating Coats' case, and said that they are both "devastated" by the verdict. Until the friction between state and federal law around pot is resolved, Evans told VICE News that it's unlikely he'll take on a case like this anytime soon.
"The Supreme Court's decision was pretty clear," he said. "We gave it the best shot we could. It would have had a powerful effect if we'd won, but I hope losing will have an equally powerful effect."

Plan B: Ditch Help For Workers, Just Get Corporations What They Want
Legislative maneuvering around Trade Promotion Authority (TPA or Fast Track) continued late Tuesday, as GOP leaders in Congress, the Obama administration, and a handful of anti-democracy Democrats hatched a plan to hold a straight vote on Fast Track - handing the White House the authority it wants to pass the Trans Pacific Partnership and other pending corporate-friendly agreements—while separating out a provision offering assistance to workers displaced by future trade deals.
It's not a simple or guaranteed path forward for Fast Track, but Politico explained the GOP leadership's latest approach this way:
Under the emerging plan, the House would vote on a bill that would give Obama fast-track authority to negotiate a sweeping trade deal with Pacific Rim countries, sending it to the Senate for final approval. To alleviate Democratic concerns, the Senate then would amend a separate bill on trade preferences to include Trade Adjustment Assistance, a worker aid program that Republicans oppose but that House Democrats have blocked to gain leverage in the negotiations over fast-track.
The leaders’ behind-the-scenes machinations are an attempt to allow both bills — TAA and the fast-track measure known as Trade Promotion Authority — to move to Obama’s desk separately, sidestepping the objections of House Democrats that stalled the package last week. The idea, which has been discussed among top congressional leaders and the White House, would be tantamount to a dare to pro-trade Democrats in both chambers to vote it down.
The big question in the House remains how many of the 28 House Democrats who voted for Fast Track when the worker assistance program, known as Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA), was on the table would do so now that it's been taken off.
Catching Clinton, Sanders Surges
Several polls now show Sen. Bernie Sanders closing the gap between himself and frontrunner Hillary Clinton
Several new polls from the early battleground state of New Hampshire indicate that the progressive message of Sen. Bernie Sanders—who has been busy talking about the troubling supremacy of Wall Street banks, vast economic inequality, the crisis of money in politics, and the imperative to address the climate crisis—is resonating with prospective voters in the early battleground state as he rapidly closes the gap with Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton.
According to a Suffolk University poll released Tuesday, Sanders garnered the support of 31 percent of likely Democratic primary voters compared to Clinton who received 41 percent. With just ten points now separating the candidates, Sanders' increase in popularity is happening much faster than many political observers say they expected. ...
Strikingly—and accounting for Clinton's high level of name recognition—when respondents who said they "know both candidates" were asked for their preferences, the lead for the former first lady and secretary of state dropped from ten points to just three (38% to 35 %).
"This signals that Clinton is leading because more voters have never heard of Sanders," said David Paleologos, director of the Suffolk University Political Research Center in Boston. "Perhaps the most telling statistic is political philosophy." According to the poll, Clinton led Sanders among self-identified moderates 46 percent to 26 percent, but among those identifying as liberal, the race is tied at 39 percent. ...
Jon Green at AmericaBlog
said he "wouldn’t go as far as to say that two polls from one state in early June make for a plausible path to victory," Sanders' early performance in New Hampshire suggest there is an opening for Sanders to turn the primary season into a meaningful race.
"The less Hillary Clinton says on issues progressives care about," said Green, "and the more Bernie keeps being Bernie, the more momentum we’ll see him pick up."
The Evening Greens
An interesting piece by George Monbiot - here's a taste:
Why we fight for the living world: it's about love, and it's time we said so
Who wants to see the living world destroyed? Who wants an end to birdsong, bees and coral reefs, the falcon’s stoop, the salmon’s leap? Who wants to see the soil stripped from the land, the sea rimed with rubbish?
No one. And yet it happens. Seven billion of us allow fossil fuel companies to push shut the narrow atmospheric door through which humanity stepped. We permit industrial farming to tear away the soil, banish trees from the hills, engineer another silent spring. We let the owners of grouse moors, 1% of the 1%, shoot and poison hen harriers, peregrines and eagles. We watch mutely as a small fleet of monster fishing ships trashes the oceans.
Why are the defenders of the living world so ineffective? It is partly, of course, that everyone is complicit; we have all been swept off our feet by the tide of hyperconsumption, our natural greed excited, corporate propaganda chiming with a will to believe that there is no cost. But perhaps environmentalism is also afflicted by a deeper failure: arising possibly from embarrassment or fear, a failure of emotional honesty.
I have asked meetings of green-minded people to raise their hands if they became defenders of nature because they were worried about the state of their bank accounts. Never has one hand appeared. Yet I see the same people base their appeal to others on the argument that they will lose money if we don’t protect the natural world.
Such claims are factual, but they are also dishonest: we pretend that this is what animates us, when in most cases it does not. The reality is that we care because we love. Nature appealed to our hearts, when we were children, long before it appealed to our heads, let alone our pockets. Yet we seem to believe we can persuade people to change their lives through the cold, mechanical power of reason, supported by statistics.
Obama’s Bipolar Approach Towards Climate Change
NASA: The Earth is Running Out of Water
More than half of the world's 37 largest aquifers are losing water due to population and climate stresses
Bottom line: the Earth is running out of water.
Two new NASA studies led by researchers from the University of California Irvine and published Tuesday show that the depletion of global groundwater resources, due to the dueling impacts of global warming and growing human demand, has caused the world's water supply to drop to dangerous levels.
The first reportcompares statistical analysis of water withdrawal to GRACE satellite analysis, which measures variations in gravity on the Earth's surface, between January 2003 and December 2013. The study compares the difference between the use and availability of these resources to determine the amount of overall renewable groundwater stress, or RGS.
According to the findings, at 21 of the 37 largest aquifers, water is being drained at a greater rate than it is being naturally replenished, 13 of which fell into the most troubled category. ...
The second study examines total groundwater storage capacity and found that many estimates are outdated and may even be smaller than previously thought.
Whereas previous definitions of water stress do not account for groundwater as a water supply source, the researchers explain that groundwater is now "increasingly relied upon during times of drought as a resilient water supply source." Further, they state, "Groundwater is currently the primary source of freshwater for approximately two billion people."
