Private Banking Files Are Private, Unless Bush Says Otherwise Posted by ueberbill (8929 views) [E-Mail link]
European banks have been bastions of privacy for quite some time. Swiss banks are of course the most famous, but banking privacy laws are pretty strict throughout western Europe (unlike in America, where Equifax knows more about your checkbook than you do). In possible violation of those laws, however, a Belgian banking consortium opened up their files to the CIA, and it may cost them--but not if the President has anything to say about it.

White House Declares Itself a "Freedom" Free Zone Posted by Pile (12005 views) [E-Mail link]
The Bush administration argued in court papers this week that the White House Office of Administration is not subject to the Freedom of Information Act as part of its effort to fend off a civil lawsuit seeking the release of internal documents about a large number of e-mails missing from White House servers. In other words, us taxpayers pay for everything over there, but those guys are no longer able to be scrutinized in any way, and if we don't like it, well I guess we know what Cheney would say.

Ding Dong The Witch Is Dead Posted by ueberbill (9617 views) [E-Mail link]
Karl "Turd Blossom" Rove (I'm not kidding, his FRIENDS really call him that) is the largest rat (literally) to flee the Bush Administration's ship and he's doing it by the end of this month. To justify his departure Mr. Rove pulled out the old "spend more time with my family" chestnut--who knew Rove even HAD a family. A horde, sure. A legion, why not. A coven, maybe. But a family?

Pentagon Endorses Apocolyptic Video Game Sent To Soldiers Posted by Pile (11596 views) [E-Mail link]
The "Left Behind: Eternal Forces" video game, is set in a "post apocalyptic" New York that looks almost exactly like New York City after the 9/11 terrorist attacks and lets players simulate commanding a paramilitary Christian army that seeks to convert Jews, mainline Christians, Muslims, atheists, Buddhists, and everyone else in New York City to fundamentalist Christianity. All who resist will be killed. Now, with the blessing and endorsement of the Pentagon, a Christian ministry with apocalyptic fundamentalist beliefs that is planning a series of tours it calls a 'military crusade' to entertain US troops in Afghanistan and Iraq will also be distributing the "Left Behind: Eternal Forces" 'Convert or Die' religious warfare video game.... To US troops. What ? Let me repeat: The United States Pentagon has endorsed sending a Christian supremacist religious warfare video game to United States troops in Iraq, a predominantly Muslim nation. Osama Bin Laden himself could hardly hardly have hatched a better plot to incite widespread war between Christianity and Islam.

Bush Is Freezing My Assets Off! Posted by ueberbill (8657 views) [E-Mail link]
When it comes to actions taken by this administration, timing is everything. From making appointments when the Congress is away on vacation to releasing bad news when it will be least noticed by the mainstream media, they're pretty clever about it. For instance, if George W. had issued his last executive order before we invaded Iraq in 2003 then the Secretary of the Treasury would be forced to freeze all of his assets.

Defense Says George W. Bush's Name Can't Be Used In Court Posted by Pile (9461 views) [E-Mail link]
Apparently President George W. Bush is now so unpopular that some lawyers believe the mere mention of his name in front of a jury could tip the scales against them. Attorneys Michael P. Laffey and Robert P. DiDomenicis of Holsten & Associates in Media, Pa., are defending Upper Darby Township, Pa., in a civil rights suit brought by Harold Lischner, an 82-year-old doctor who claims he was falsely arrested for displaying an anti-war sign at a Bush campaign event in September 2003. With the case set to go to trial on July 23, the defense lawyers recently filed a flurry of motions, including one that asked Eastern District of Pennsylvania Judge Gene E.K. Pratter to prohibit the plaintiff from mentioning Bush�s name.

Government Hands Proof of Spying To Lawyer, Then Wants It Back Posted by ueberbill (8630 views) [E-Mail link]
Recently the 6th U.S. Court of Appeals (no, that's not where the Heretics burn in open tombs for eternity- that's the 6th Circle of Hell, although there are similarities) threw out a case challenging President "Herr" Bush's domestic wiretapping program on the grounds that they could not prove that they were affected by the program. This is fortunate for the government as they are also the one with the list of those they were (allegedly) illegally wiretapping and they aren't eager to go posting that information on their blogs. So that's quite a pickle- you don't have standing to sue the government unless you're affected by the wiretapping and the government won't tell you IF you were affected by the wiretapping so that you can then sue... them. Fortunately for Wendell Belew he got this document one day...
