Obama actually doesn't support women's rights

From Jonathan Turley:

After holding a large public ceremony for the signing of the health care bill, President Barack Obama is barring cameras when he signs the executive order needed to secure the votes for the narrow passage: a ban on federal funding of abortion.

Rep. Bart Stupak and his colleagues will attend the signing but no cameras are going to be allowed by the White House. The thirteen members are all pro-life Democrats and the White House has decided that the public should not witness the event.

By the way, Stupak was suddenly given an over $720,000 grant for airports in this district shortly before his vote, here. This has led some to question whether the pro-life order was the only condition of his support.

Pentagon's 'Privilege Review Team' Off Its Rocker

This post by Glenn Greenwald has to be read to be believed. A defense attorney for Binyam Mohamed, a man tortured by the US, has written a letter to president Obama about the torture that his client has received at the hands of the US. In response, the Prentagon's 'Privilege Review Team' has initiated a summons against him to explain himself in court. All this for complying with policies that the Pentagon itself set up. Amazing.

Obama administration expands secrecy claims beyond Bush levels

When we signed up for 'change,' we thought it would be a change back to pre-Bush policies, not exacerbating Bush's insane agenda! Unfortunately, we were wrong. The Obama Department of Justice is now making new and novel arguments to expand the secrecy and immunity of the government. They even coined a new, Orwellian phrase: "sovereign immunity." Keep up the good work, guys!
