British Police Arrest Rebekah Brooks in Phone Hacking Scandal
http://www.truth-out.org/british-police-arrest-rebekah-brooks-phone-hacking-scandal/1310910922
Alan Cowell and Ravi Somaiya, The New York Times News Service: "The British police on Sunday arrested Rebekah Brooks, the former head of Rupert Murdoch's media operations in Britain, according to a former associate at News International, the newspaper group at the heart of a phone-hacking scandal convulsing the Murdoch empire, the British political elite and the police."
Hunger Stalks California's Rural Communities
http://www.truth-out.org/hunger-stalks-californias-rural-communities/1310577155
David Bacon, Truthout: "As communities get more rural and farm workers make up more of the population, people get poorer. In 2009, the average yearly income in Santa Clara County - home of Silicon Valley - was $94,715. Silicon Valley has its own not-so-hidden poverty, but the urban standard of living, especially in the country's premier high-tech industrial center, is much higher than San Benito County... San Benito County's unemployment rate was exactly double - 20.6 percent."
Egyptian Counterrevolution Struggling for a Breakthrough
http://www.truth-out.org/egyptian-counterrevolution-struggling-breakthrough/1310567093
Max Ajl, Truthout: "In America, machinations to control the course of the uprising continue. Against the backdrop of the pitchfork-bearing Islamophobia of the reactionary wing of the business class, housed in the Republican Party, the Muslim Brotherhood has cozied up to the Obama administration and the Obama administration to the Muslim Brotherhood, as the latter has promised to retain the 1979 peace treaty with Israel, against the wishes of the Egyptian electorate, 54 percent of which has called for annulling the treaty."
Obama Proposal for Collaborative Ocean Policy Draws Skepticism, Support
http://www.truth-out.org/obama-proposal-collaborative-ocean-policy-draws-skepticism-support/1310053068
Alissa Bohling, Truthout: "Surfers, fishers and environmentalists don't tend to spend their summers crowded into dark conference rooms. But this year, they wanted a say in creating the United States' first national ocean policy... The task force found that... ocean policy is frequently hemmed in by a "sector-by-sector, statute by statute" approach to management that doesn't account for now-well-established scientific knowledge about the interdependence of land, sea and air environments."
Neocons Fume Over US Boat to Gaza
http://www.truth-out.org/neocons-fume-over-us-boat-gaza/1310915626
Ray McGovern, Consortium News: "The bottom line is this: Dershowitz's Likud friends and their neocon chums in the Obama administration realize they have suffered a stinging - and unnecessary - PR defeat. They could easily have let our peaceful boat carrying passengers, media and letters of goodwill reach the isolated people of Gaza. What we boaters appear to have accomplished is to provoke the mighty diplomats of Israel and the United States into a full-court press that brought renewed attention to the plight of the Gazans."
Climate Regulations a Job Killer? Quit Crying Wolf
http://www.truth-out.org/climate-regulations-job-killer-quit-crying-wolf/1310918283
Donald Cohen, YES! Magazine: "There's an old adage that if you repeat a lie often enough, people will believe it. That seems to be the unofficial motto of the United States Chamber of Commerce, which has spent the last forty years repeating (and repeating and repeating) the mantra that government regulations on businesses 'kill jobs' and economic growth. But their predictions have been repeatedly wrong. The laws they warned would bring economic ruin have become the basic health, safety, and environmental safeguards we now take for granted."
Former Bush Special Counsel Wants a "Do-Over" on Guilty Plea
http://www.truth-out.org/former-bush-special-counsel-wants-do-over-guilty-plea/1310919971
Joe Newman, Project on Government Oversight: "It looks like Scott Bloch, the former special counsel to President George W. Bush, may get his day in court, after all... Federal prosecutors will not object to Bloch's request to withdraw his guilty plea to a misdemeanor contempt of Congress charge... But what did in Bloch-and led to his contempt of Congress charge-was his infamous decision to have Geeks on Call scrub his computer's hard drive. Bloch, apparently with a straight face, insists he was trying to get rid of a computer virus and that the deletion of any incriminating evidence was purely coincidental."
The Audacity of Free Trade Agreements
http://www.truth-out.org/audacity-free-trade-agreements/1310925169
Laura Carlsen, CIP American Program: "Congress could vote any day now to strike a new blow against already-battered U.S. workers and the unemployed. Committees in the House and Senate recently marked up the Colombia, Panama, and South Korea Free Trade Agreements (FTAs). The Obama administration is urging passage of all three relics of the Bush administration before the summer recess. The full-court press on the FTAs represents a reversal for a president elected on a trade reform platform."
Trial Brings Attention to Corruption in the New Orleans Police Department
http://www.truth-out.org/trial-brings-attention-corruption-new-orleans-police-department/1310924312
Jordan Flaherty, The Loop21: "In New Orleans' federal courthouse, five police officers are currently facing charges of killing unarmed black civilians who were escaping floods from the failed levees that buckled during Hurricane Katrina. The police are also charged with conspiring to cover up their crimes... The trial, brought by the U.S. Department of Justice, and which started on June 27, has gripped the city, while media coverage has focused attention on a deeply troubled department that is struggling to gain the trust of New Orleans residents."
