Supreme Court restores habeas corpus, strikes down key part of Military Commissions Act
http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenw
In a major rebuke to the Bush administration's theories of presidential power -- and in an equally stinging rebuke to the bipartisan political class which has supported the Bush detention policies -- the U.S. Supreme Court today, in a 5-4 decision, declared Section 7 of the Military Commissions Act of 2006 unconstitutional. The Court struck down that section of the MCA because it purported to abolish the writ of habeas corpus...

US Supreme Court tosses "detainee treatment act", declares that prisoners *do*, in fact, have rights in the USA.
http://theweaselking.livejournal.com/29
Of course, this only applies to the few prisoners we know about, who are held in the few "official" prisons, and not the ones who are completely denied all access to legal counsel while they're raped, tortured, and murdered after having been disappeared, but it's a start.

Did Iranian intelligence infiltrate highest levels of Bush administration?
http://www.americablog.com/2008/06/d
We'll never know because the Bush administration shut down the investigation as to whether Iranian spies were in Vice President Dick Cheneys's office and Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's office. The year was 2003. That's when we invaded Iraq. This is scary as shit... "...Iran may have used a small cabal of officials in the Pentagon and in Vice President Dick Cheney's office to feed bogus intelligence ...to... the Bush administration..."

Are They Voting on Barack Obama, or "Barry Johnson"?
http://bradhicks.livejournal.com/39
There are a lot of anti-Barack-Obama slurs that rattle around the net... "is it smart to vote for a Muslim while we're in a War on Terror?"... the real truth about Barack Obama's religious background would be just as toxic, or maybe even more so. Barack Obama wasn't raised Muslim... it hit me exactly why they think Barack Hussein Obama is a Muslim or ex-Muslim. ...I remembered a brief interview, many months ago, with some black rapper in which he was asked about Barack Obama, only for the interviewer to find out that this rapper had never heard of him. The rapper asked for the name again, and then asked, "No, really, what's his real name?" The interviewer said that no, really, the Senator's real name is Barack Hussein Obama. ...the rapper looked at him scornfully, as if he were some kind of a fool, and said derisively, "Nobody's real name is Barack Hussein Obama." Why would he think that? Then it hit me.
