POLITICO Breaking News

-------------------------------------------------

BREAKING NEWS: P.J. Crowley is out as chief spokesman at the State

Department after he publicly criticized the Defense Department’s

handling of WikiLeaks suspect Bradley Manning, a senior administration

official said Sunday. Crowley, a respected National Security Council

spokesman under President Bill Clinton, has been on the outs with

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who made him her assistant

secretary of state for Public Affairs. Michael Hammer, President

Barack Obama’s NSC spokesman, had been sent to State earlier this

year, with the plan for him to succeed Crowley. The process was

speeded up after attendees at a Massachusetts Institute of Technology

appearance by Crowley reported that he had called the Pentagon’s

handling of Manning, who is detained at the brig at Quantico,

“ridiculous and counterproductive and stupid.”

The ACLU has repeatedly protested the establishment over the past decade of CMUs (Communication Management Units) in the United States.  The CUMs are special federal prisons, where prisoners are deprived of communications with the outside world. [1]

Humanitarian Pays With Life for Feeding the Children of Iraq
Katherine Hughes, Truthout: "February 26, 2011, marks the eighth anniversary of the imprisonment of Dr. Rafil Dhafir. Dhafir continues to pay the price for feeding the children of Iraq during the US- and UK-sponsored UN sanctions against that country. According to the United Nations' own statistics, every month throughout the 1990's, 6,000 children under the age of five in Iraq were dying from lack of food and access to simple medicines. Three senior UN officials resigned because of what they considered a 'genocidal' policy of sanctions against Iraq. Dhafir's charity, Help the Needy (HTN), openly sent food and medicines to starving civilians in Iraq during the brutal embargo. Seven government agencies investigated Dhafir and HTN for many years. They intercepted his mail, email, faxes and telephone calls; bugged his office and hotel rooms; went through his trash; and conducted physical surveillance. They were unable to find any evidence of links to terrorism, and no charges of terrorism were ever brought against Dhafir."

11-03-13 Organized Labor and the Financial Crisis // Organizado Trabajo y la Crisis Financiera // 有组织的劳工与金融危机

 
Is labor rank and file going to be the tipping force in the current crisis?

Organized labor and its leaders are somehow out of synch, but the rank and file are not...

Los Angeles, March 13 - current events in Wisconsin demonstrate the awakening of labor rank and file, where its leaders failed.  For example, AFL-CIO Attorney Damon Silvers sits on the TARP (Troubled Assets Relief Program) Board, headed by Harvard Prof Elizabeth Warren.  But the TARP Board and its Inspector General Neil Barofsky failed to address the overwhelming evidence of criminality in financial institutions who benefit from the program.  The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission touched on it only tangentially.

However, labor rank and file see reality as it is, and may become the tipping force in the current crisis, compelling government to address the crisis in an honest and equitable manner at last.

Assault on Collective Bargaining Illegal, Says International Labor Rights Group
Jeanne Mirer and Marjorie Cohn, Truthout: "The International Commission for Labor Rights (ICLR) sent a notice to the Wisconsin Legislature, explaining that its attempt to strip collective bargaining rights from public workers is illegal. Anyone who has watched the events unfolding in Wisconsin and other states that are trying to remove collective bargaining rights from public workers has heard people protesting the loss of their 'rights.' The ICLR explained to the legislature exactly what these rights are and why trying to take them away is illegal."

Madison Rally Bigger Than Biggest Tea Party Rally
Alex Seitz-Wald, ThinkProgress: "Police estimated up to 100,000 people turned out in Madison, WI yesterday to protest Gov. Scott Walker's (R) assault on unions, making it bigger than any protests the city has witnessed, even those during the Vietnam War. The Madison rally is part of a much larger Main Street Movement of average Americans demanding fairness in labor laws, social spending, and taxation that has emerged in Ohio, New Jersey, Florida, Michigan, and elsewhere. But yesterday's rally in Madison is noteworthy because at 85,000-100,000, it was bigger than the biggest tea party protest, the September 12, 2009 rally in Washington, D.C., which turned out only an estimated 60,000-70,000."

For Wisconsin's Lawmakers, a Hero's Homecoming
A.G. Sulzberger, The New York Times News Service: "They are the unlikeliest of folk heroes. But this group of once-obscure lawmakers - a dairy farmer, a lawyer and a woman who is seven months pregnant, among others - that fled this capital nearly a month ago, returned Saturday to the cheers of tens of thousands who once again packed the streets in protest. Many in the crowd wore buttons or held signs bearing admiring nicknames for the group: the 'Fighting 14,' the 'Fab 14' or, simply, 'the Wisconsin 14.' They chanted, 'Thank you' and 'Welcome home.'"
