Bill Would Allow Arrests For No Reason In Public Place
...The Ohio Patriot Act has made it to the Taft's desk, and with the stroke of a pen, it would most likely become the toughest terrorism bill in the country. The lengthy piece of legislation would let police arrest people in public places who will not give their names, address and birth dates, even if they are not doing anything wrong.... Read More

I received one set of search warrants and affidavits this morning at 8:45am. There was one warrant and one affidavit for each apartment at the duplex. They were very spare -- boilerplate, really -- with no details about Officer Jones' due dilligence to confirm that Cory Maye was dealing drugs. I then got a second fax at 9:50am, which included a document called "Underlying Facts and Cirucmstances," in which Officer Jones lays out his reasons for requesting the warrants.

The Cory Maye case is just about the ugliest nexus of race, civil rights violations, southern juries and our criminal justice system that I can think of.

Drilling begins in ethnic enclave without the central government's OK

BAGHDAD, IRAQ - A controversial oil exploration deal between Iraq's autonomy-minded Kurds and a Norwegian company got under way this week without the approval of the central government here, raising a potentially explosive issue at a time of heightened ethnic and sectarian tensions.... Read More

I did a search and didn't see this diaried - the original article came from the WSJ. An unusual map of Iraq that became a touchstone for online pundits of opposite stripes this summer wasn't the product of some orbiting satellite or military analyst. It was, instead, a homework assignment.... Read More

Afghanistan... time to go
The Taliban is history and Al Qaeda is a mere shadow of its former self, so the question is why are US (and UK) forces still in effective control of Afghanistan? The latest example of appalling behaviour by US interrogators (who appear to have tortured a taxi cab driver to death at Bagram for being in the wrong place at the wrong time) is starting to turn local opinion against the over-mightly US presence. Not only do the people responsible need to be suitably called to account a good way up the chain of command, clearly there are some serious institutional problems in sections of the US military that need to be stamped on pretty harshly.

Spy vs Spy
Neighbors spying on neighbors? Mothers forced to turn in their sons or daughters? These are images straight out of George Orwell's 1984, or a remote totalitarian state. We don't associate them with the land of the free and the home of the brave, but that doesn't mean they couldn't happen here. A senior congressman, James Sensenbrenner (R-Wis.), is working quietly but efficiently to turn the entire United States population into informants--by force. Read More

Abu Ghraib is an ongoing evangelical Hell House. Evangelicals are all over the chain of responsibility from the actual torture, up the military chain of command, to the civilian lawyers who justified torture, to the man at the top, George W(arrior for God) Bush. What happened at Abu Ghraib was nothing more than torture as punishment for Iraqi failure to give the total submission and obedience due out of gratitude for their salvation, which was (to the evangelicals) purchased with the shedding of American blood. In other words, Abu Ghraib grew out of evangelical belief that eternal torture as punishment is just and right for those who refuse to submit and obey out of gratitude for their salvation, purchased with the shedding of the blood of Jesus.

Of Theocrats and Theophobes: Carter's Law of Political Rhetoric
After hearing that the May issue of Harper's Magazine includes a series of articles on "The Christian Right's War On America", I realized it was time to introduce an observation, similar to Godwin's Law, on a recurrent theme in political debate. Such a clear pattern of rhetorical hyperbole has led me to codify Carter's Law of Political Rhetoric:
