Sibel Edmonds Files More Detailed Lawsuit

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Former FBI contract linguist Sibel Edmonds, who was discharged in the wake of becoming a whistleblower after the 9/11 attacks, has filed a complaint under the Federal Torts Claims Act detailing her interactions with a former FBI associate.

Edmonds’ attorneys claim that her allegations of wrongdoing within the FBI translation unit, including espionage, were drawn entirely from the FBI’s own internal investigation and unclassified sources.

The Department of Justice’s Office of Inspector General has been investigating the allegations for two years and has concluded that the FBI failed to adequately pursue Edmonds’ allegations of espionage against a co-worker and that her allegations contributed to her dismissal from employment by the agency.

Edmonds has alleged that her efforts to expose the FBI’s misconduct has led to retaliation and that, to date, “not a single person in the FBI has been held accountable or criminally prosecuted despite public confirmation by the Inspector General’s Office and members of Congress that wrongdoing occurred.

Unapproved GM corn found in US food chain

13:04 23 March 2005

A Swiss company accidentally sold unapproved genetically modified seed corn in the US for four years. The mistake resulted in about 133 million kilograms of the corn making its way into the food chain.

Officials for the company, Syngenta, and the US Environmental Protection Agency insist there is no danger to human health. But the EPA and the US Department of Agriculture are investigating to see if any laws or regulations were broken. The EPA confirmed the investigation was underway in a statement to the journal Nature.

Between 2001 and 2004, Syngenta accidentally sold an unapproved corn variety called Bt 10, mistaking it for the approved variety Bt 11. Both varieties produce a bacterial toxin that kills insects, using the same inserted gene and producing the same protein. The only difference is the location of the inserted gene, Syngenta says.

"This really makes us wonder what else is in corn that has not been approved but that has been field tested. It seems that companies either won't or can't control it," says Jane Rissler, a senior scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists in Washington, DC, US.

(snip - more at link)

THIS time the genetically modified variant is probably benign, but what if it had been something horrible, like one of Monsanto's experimental grains with the "terminator" gene? That is intended to force farmers to use new seed each time, and if it somehow spread, there could be a global disaster:

Sandinista Official Says U.S. Is Meddling
by Filadelpho Aleman

MANAGUA, NICARAGUA -- Two decades after the United States backed a civil war against Nicaragua's leftist Sandinista government, a top Sandinista official said Tuesday Washington is meddling again, leveling accusations against party leader Daniel Ortega to try to prevent him from returning to the presidency.

Tomas Borge, the former interior minister who is currently No. 2 in the Sandinista Party, said the United States is using a complaint about surface-to-air missiles left over from the war to try to derail a bid by Ortega to retake the presidency in elections next year.

"The United States is trying once again to meddle in Nicaragua's internal affairs, because they are desperate and scared by a certain Sandinista victory in the upcoming elections," Borge, the party's vice-secretary, told The Associated Press in a telephone interview.

Ohio's Blackwell Ridicules Election Fraud "Conspiracy"

-----
Ohio Official Says Election Went Smoothly
The New York Times

Monday 21 March 2005

Columbus, Ohio - The state's election chief told lawmakers at a sometimes-testy congressional hearing Monday that Ohio's presidential election went as smoothly as possible, given the resources available and some last-minute interpretations by state and federal courts.

Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell testified before members of the U.S. House Administration Committee during a special hearing at the Ohio Statehouse. Members of the committee peppered Blackwell with questions about provisional ballots, long voting lines and other issues in the election that gave President Bush the 20 electoral votes he needed to capture re-election.

His appearance came more than a month after he failed to appear before the committee at a hearing in Washington.

U.S. Rep. Bob Ney, an Ohio Republican and the committee's chairman, took Blackwell's absence as a snub, especially since Blackwell was in Washington the same day to lead a meeting of the nonpartisan Campaign Finance Institute.

Pentagon Reaffirms Globocop Role
by Jim Lobe

WASHINGTON -- March has been a bad month for the world's multilateralists who, encouraged by several early appointments to the State Department and a successful presidential tour of Europe, had hoped that George W. Bush would temper his unilateralist instincts in his second term.

But culminating in Friday's release by the Pentagon of a new ”National Defense Strategy of the United States of America”, the last few weeks have showered a bracing dose of cold water on that notion.

Combined with the nomination earlier in the month of super-unilateralist John Bolton as Bush's ambassador to the United Nations, as well as the U.S. withdrawal from the jurisdiction of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) for cases involving the Vienna Convention on Consular Relations, the Strategy strongly suggests that Washington's interest in its traditional alliances, multilateral institutions, and even international law is on a downward trajectory.

The 24-page public document, signed by Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, is designed to lay out some of the basic assumptions of the U.S. role in the world, particularly as regards peace and security, that will guide the Quadrennial Defence Review (QDR), an important exercise carried out every four years that steers U.S. strategy, the Pentagon's more than 400-billion-dollar annual budget, and military ”transformation” over the next five to 10 years.

4. Several days since I've heard about US deaths or injuries in Iraq.

I'm reasonably sure that there have been some. Of course, we've rarely hear about how many Iraqi's we've killed. And what's been happening with the Italian journalist situation?

I'm pretty sure that the "no news is good news" saying doesn't apply here!

80 insurgents 'taken out' in Iraq battle

AFP< WEDNESDAY, MARCH 23, 2005 11:34:14 PM >

TIKRIT: Eighty insurgents were killed in an assault by Iraqi and US forces on a lakeside training camp north of Baghdad, Iraqi commanders said on Wednesday, in the bloodiest operation since January's election.

An officer in the interior ministry's 1st Commando Battalion, who took part in the 17-hour operation on Tuesday and would only give his name as Colonel Jalil, said they destroyed an important training camp and holding point for insurgents and foreign fighters slipping in from the Syrian border to the west.

"This was a serious military camp with a living section and guard posts," he said. He said fighters had been using fishing boats to cross the large man-made Tharthar Lake from the tense Al-Anbar province to the west to the tiny village of Ain al-Hilwa on the border with Salaheddin province, another restive area.

Justice Redacted Memo on Detainees
FBI Criticism Of Interrogations Was Deleted

By R. Jeffrey Smith
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, March 22, 2005; Page A03

U.S. law enforcement agents working at the military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, concluded that controversial interrogation practices used there by the Defense Department produced intelligence information that was "suspect at best," an FBI agent told a superior in a memo in May last year.

But the Justice Department, which reviewed the memo for national security secrets before releasing it to a civil liberties group in December, redacted the FBI agent's conclusion.

work to expose that BushInc KNEW about Khan selling nuclear secrets back during the BCCI scandal and Bush1 cronies covered it up as much as they could, the media will never pick up on the connection.

Now BushInc will try to go to war with Iran and use Khan's crimes as the reason, even though Bush1 operatives were also part of Khan's network.

24. Secret US plan to derail European fight against illegal rainforest logging

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=104x3316529

This is a major, HUGE tragedy and scandal, and there is apparently a total US press blackout on the story. Censorship on things that embarrass the bushites.

The US plans to undermine the G8 plan to fight illegal rainforest logging were exposed when a leaked US State Department document surfaced. This story is no secret outside the US, but only Michael Moore and Wes Clark -- and DU -- are talking about it inside the US. Once again, the US Poodle Press rolls over obediently for its blivet** Administration masters. That's the only explanation that makes sense of the total silence of the US corporate media on this issue.

Edited to add: The huge number of repetitive Schiavo threads have pushed very important stories aside. I'm glad to see this thread giving another chance to see some of these stories that would otherwise be lost in the distraction.

We should know better than to allow ourselves to be so totally distracted like this. Haven't we learned by now that when the GOP machine is waving their hand on one side, the other hand is sticking a dagger into our unsuspecting backs?

Recommended for Greatest - so at least SOME space can be given to these important stories.

[G_j]

27. yes, thank you for posting that story

I nominated it also. This is an extremely important story.
It is hard to not see the news media as a criminal enterprise at times. Our world is being run by a coalition of mobsters.

40. So what should we do to prevent this news distraction from recurring?

How about a "HOT TOPIC" Forum, designated with a changing topic name by the DU admins to match whatever is the mania du jour? Then the hundreds of duplicated threads generated in the throes of excitement about that single topic could be put in one place for people interested in that topic to browse and contribute. (It might even cut down on the duplication.) If it became necessary, perhaps some limit on the number of articles in that HOT TOPIC forum that made it to the Greatest Page could be set up--or better, the number of votes per article in that forum required might be increased above two. And then all the other news in the world won't be pushed out of sight.

Thoughts, criticisms, other ideas?

49. "Legal challenges, terrorism threaten U.S."

http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/national/apwashington_story.asp?category=1152&slug=Pentagon%20Strategy&searchdiff=5&searchpagefrom=1

WASHINGTON -- America's strength is being challenged by "a strategy of the weak," a Pentagon document says, listing diplomatic and legal challenges in international forums in the same sentence with terrorism.

The sentence is one of several that describe U.S. vulnerabilities in the document, released Friday, titled "The National Defense Strategy of the United States of America."

"Our strength as a nation state will continue to be challenged by those who employ a strategy of the weak focusing on international fora, judicial processes and terrorism," it says. It does not go into detail.

Scary that they are equating diplomacy and legal processes with terrorism by listing them together. Anything they don't agree with gets the terra, terra treatment.
