Related topics from TechnoratiSlavery By Another Name
Last night, on Bill Moyers Journal, one of the topics was an amazing new book, Slavery By Another Name by Douglas Blackmon, the Atlanta bureau chief of the Wall Street Journal. It's about the way in which virtual slavery was reimposed on the Southern black population, and lasted well into the lifetime of people still alive today. This involved much, much more than legal segregation under Plessy, as Moyers describes, and Blackmon explains below. This is incredibly important not only in its own The Torture State: Innocents Suffer; Villains Walk; Media: "Next!"
In an excellent piece posted Friday, Chris Floyd provides an overview of the week's revelations regarding the Bush administration's deliberate and illegal efforts to institutionalize torture. It's the most despicable tale, yet I urge you to read as much of it as you can stand.

It was almost exactly a year ago that a Connecticut jury convicted substitute teacher Julie Amero because the computer in the classroom in which she was substitute teaching started displaying pornographic pop-ups during the the class. That conviction was eventually thrown out after it was proven that the computer lacked adequate security protection and so had been compromised by malware, not by Ms. Amero, but apparently the criminal justice system hadn’t learned.

This week's provincial news brought reference to Perry Mason. For those too young to remember, Perry Mason was a fictional defence attorney, played superbly by Canadian actor Raymond Burr. The weekly series ran from 1957 to 1966 and was reborn as made-for-television movies until 1993. Almost invariably Mason was able to beat his opponent, district attorny Hamilton Burger, by showing that someone other than Mason's client was guilty of murder.

A retreat next week for the staff of the Office of Special Counsel at the Hotel Monaco in Alexandria, VA looks like it's going to be a doozy. Most curiously, according to the agenda, it seems Special Counsel Scott Bloch thinks his staff needs training on a "hostile work environment" (11:00-12:00) and the practice of e-discovery (13:05-14:30). A little background first. Bloch's office was raided by two dozen FBI agents last month. Their raid was precipitated by allegations that Bloch destroyed Elect Obama or Fall Into Tyranny
As articles by John Pilger, Alexander Cockburn and Uri Avnery make clear, by groveling before the Israel lobby, Obama has dispelled any hope that his presidency would make a difference. Obama told the lobby that in order to protect Israel he would use all the powers of the presidency to prevent Iran from having a nuclear weapon. As in the case of Saddam Hussein’s “weapons of mass destruction,” the conclusion whether or not Iran is making a nuclear weapon will be determined by propaganda and noComic Book Review: Trinity #3

In an ideal world, John McCain's latest tirades about Barack Obama having "a September 10 mindset" and his trotting out of the now-hopefully-discredited Rudy Giuliani would be greeted with hoots, catcalls, and the tossing of metaphorical salmonella-tainted tomatoes.
