This is NOT what happens when your Congresscritter sees a doc, for sure.

greenharper commented on the blog post Pakistan Court Decision Finds US Drone Strikes Are ‘War Crimes,’ Which Are ‘Absolutely Illegal’
‘Engaged in warfare,’ yes. Obviously.
‘At war,’ I think not,
Our drone-inflicted U.S. death-dealing abroad lacks the sanction of a Congressional declaration of war (thanks, nixonclinbushbama, for making this quaint point) or a U.N. resolution of any kind. So, to me it’s always been plain murder, and of course conspiracy to murder, as well.
Good luck in getting it prosecuted as such in the U.S. or, presumably, in Pakistan.
If it can also be legitimately classified as ‘war crime,’ however, doesn’t that come within the jurisdiction of an appropriate international tribunal, and thus open up the possibility of prosecution there? If so, not a bad result, in my view.

471 donors have as of now contributed $24,380.44 – an average of $51.76 each for this to the Press Freedom Foundation, a 501(c)(3). The goal is $40,000 – $50,000. Any surplus will go to the Bradley Manning Defense Fund. https://pressfreedomfoundation.org/blog/2013/05/freedom-press-foundation-crowd-funding-court-reporter-transcribe-bradley-manning I’ve also written to the Los Angeles Times.

Thanks, YSD! It’s offensive that the government is planning to make no transcript. There are other adjectives, too. I kicked in, then wrote to The New York Times suggesting that contributions to the Manning court reporter crowdsourcing effort were cheap democracy insurance. What does it take to become an FDL Action? This one is critical. [...]

greenharper commented on the blog post Canadian Government Under Harper Reclaims Authoritarian Counterterrorism Powers
Kevin, how you do it beats me!
Thanks so much for this. I grew up on the Canadian border. My kids all went to camp in Ontario, and one of them broke a leg & was hospitalized there. I’d a well-informed sense of the basic decency of Canadians. Harper and those who pull his strings are doing their level best to end it. Very sad, and very much worth resisting.

Terrific! A valuable reminder of why it’s worth it to fight. Friends of mine moved near the Montague Plains a few years ago. The Plains convey a deep peace. In summer, they are wild with blueberries. I cannot imagine them with that tower. Thanks, Sam — and everyone else who saved the Plains, and a [...]

greenharper commented on the diary post One Thousand Days Too Many by Center for Constitutional Rights.
Thanks for keeping at this! The U.S. Government’s treatment of Bradley Manning is an outrage. Whatever the charges — and these are dangerous enough — Manning deserved a speedy trial. Too late for that now. President Obama could have ended this outrage long, long ago. And, he still should. After all, he, too, took an [...]
