Are Saudi Women Next?
http://www.truth-out.org/are-saudi-women-next/1308403326
Mai Yamani, Project Syndicate: "The unexpected visibility and assertiveness=
of women in the revolutions unfolding across the Arab world =E2=80=93 in T=
unisia, Egypt, Libya, Yemen, Bahrain, Syria, and elsewhere =E2=80=93 has he=
lped propel what has become variously known as the 'Arab awakening' or 'Ara=
b Spring.' Major changes have occurred in the minds and lives of women, hel=
ping them to break through the shackles of the past, and to demand their fr=
eedom and dignity."
Two Top Lawyers Lost to Obama in Libya War Policy Debate
http://www.truth-out.org/two-top-lawyers-lost-obama-libya-war-policy-debate=
/1308402995
Charlie Savage, The New York Times News Service: "President Obama rejected =
the views of top lawyers at the Pentagon and the Justice Department when he=
decided that he had the legal authority to continue American military part=
icipation in the air war in Libya without Congressional authorization, acco=
rding to officials familiar with internal administration deliberations."
Greek Protesters Are Better Economists Than the European Authorities
http://www.truth-out.org/greek-protesters-are-better-economists-european-au=
thorities/1308352464
Mark Weisbrot, The Center for Economic and Policy Research: "Imagine that i=
n the worst year of our recent recession, the United States government deci=
ded to reduce its federal budget deficit by more than $800 billion dollars =
=E2=80=93 cutting spending and raising taxes to meet this goal. Imagine th=
at, as a result of these measures, the economy worsened and unemployment so=
ared to more than 16 percent, and then the president pledged another $400 b=
illion in spending cuts and tax increases this year. What do you think woul=
d be the public reaction? It would probably be similar to what we are seein=
g in Greece today, including mass demonstrations and riots, because that is=
what the Greek government has done."
Michael I. Niman | Been to a Nursing Home Lately?
http://www.truth-out.org/been-nursing-home-lately/1308409031
Michael I. Niman, Artvoice: "With Republicans in the Senate and Congress al=
most unanimous about wanting to terminate Medicare and Medicaid, I think it=
's time we all pay a visit to a nursing home and see the greedy senior citi=
zens whose stubborn longevity threatens the very idea of a luxury tax break=
on yachts and second homes."
Karzai Says US in Peace Talks with Taliban
http://www.truth-out.org/karzai-says-us-peace-talks-taliban/1308410240
Rod Nordland, The New York Times News Service: "President Hamid Karzai of A=
fghanistan launched a broadside against his coalition allies on Saturday, s=
aying their motives were suspect, and repeated his assertion that the Unite=
d States was negotiating with the Taliban. Mr. Karzai denied earlier report=
s - including his own statements - that his government was negotiating with=
Taliban leaders, but he said that the Americans were doing so."
Michael Winship | Fighting Against Those Who Rape
http://www.truth-out.org/fighting-against-those-who-rape/1308412896
Michael Winship, Truthout: "One out of six American women will be sexually =
assaulted in her lifetime. But only forty percent of these crimes will be r=
eported. Only six percent of rapists spend a day in jail. These devastating=
numbers are at the very soul of a new documentary that offers an inside lo=
ok at a real-life SVU -- the sex crimes prosecution unit of the New York Di=
strict Attorney's office, the first of its kind in the country. Produced by=
Lisa F. Jackson, Sex Crimes Unit premieres on HBO, Monday, June 20, at 8 p=
.m. ET/PT, and will be repeated throughout the rest of the month and into J=
uly. Look for it."
Donald Cohen | Chamber of Commerce, Wrong Again
http://www.truth-out.org/chamber-commerce-wrong-again/1308414477
Donald Cohen, Cry Wolf Project: "Every year since 2003, the California Cham=
ber of Commerce publishes its hit list of proposed legislation it labels 'j=
ob killers.' The list includes legislation to protect consumers, workers a=
nd the environment from irresponsible business practices, or raise revenues=
to fund public services, or support middle and working class families. The=
Chamber released their 2011 list on May 25. Topping the list of 29 so-cal=
led 'job killer bills' are restrictions on the use of Styrofoam that is fil=
ling landfills and polluting our rivers and oceans. The list includes prop=
osed legislation to index the minimum wage, decrease greenhouse gases, and =
raise desperately needed revenue for local governments."

Henry Chu, The Los Angeles Times: "After days of skyrocketing alarm among i=
nvestors, the leaders of Europe's two heavyweights, France and Germany, rea=
ched agreement Friday on a key element of a second rescue package to help d=
ebt-ridden Greece avert a potentially catastrophic default."

http://www.truth-out.org/us-neocons-new-overtures-irans-mko-recall-history-=
resistance-and-co-opting-part-2/1308161726
Muhammad Sahimi, Truthout: "While a seemingly large number of supporters sh=
ow up to the demonstrations that MKO organizes outside of Iran, it has no s=
ignificant support even among Iranian expatriots, if we recall that million=
s of Iranians have emigrated to the West, and every year, another 150,000 h=
ighly educated young Iranians leave Iran who do not know anything about MKO=
, let alone support it.Those who support MKO as a viable alternative to the=
hardliners and reactionaries in Tehran would be well advised to take anoth=
er look at its history."
How Spain Launched a Revolution
http://www.truth-out.org/how-spain-launched-revolution/1308413538
Ter Garcia, Waging Nonviolence: "Just a few months ago, Spain was like much=
of the Western world: quietly struggling with the economic crisis and the =
social cuts government took to deal with it. But then something changed. Th=
e citizenry lost their confidence in labor unions and political parties and=
decided to take matters into their own hands. The first steps toward the m=
assive uprising of May 15 were taken in February, when a bunch of activists=
and bloggers created a Facebook group to coordinate the various elements o=
f society."
