Jesse Helms: American Garbage

Politics – What does it say about modern American politics that a proponent of racism and repression at home, and defender of fascist and military dictatorship abroad, should play such a major role? Like scum on a stagnant pond, the rottenest elements in American society rose to the top of the political system during the last quarter of the twentieth century.

EDITORIAL: No 'disposable heroes'

Politics – John McCain seems to be studiously ignoring the VA drug-testing scandal. By comparison, the McCain camp found time this week for 16 press releases to shadowbox with retired Gen. Wesley Clark. Amid the veteran-themed political theatrics, why can't Mr. McCain simply pledge to get to the bottom of a scandal harming veterans?

Big Oil's Iraq deals are the greatest stick-up in history

Politics – Paying multinationals for their technical expertise is not unusual in itself. What is odd is that such contracts almost invariably go to oil service companies - not to the oil majors, whose work is exploring, producing and owning carbon wealth.

Judge Rejects Bush's Stance On Wiretaps

Politics – A federal judge said that President Bush does not have the constitutional authority to overstep the law establishing the government's ability to conduct warrantless wiretaps on American citizens. FISA, in 1978, established the 'exclusive' means for engaging in wiretaps, and the president in his capacity as commander in chief can not evade that law.
