Limitless Space: Computerized Dataveillance Since 9/11
http://www.truth-out.org/limitless-space-computerized-dataveillance-911/1315944425
Chris Walsh, Ten Years Later: Surveillance in the "Homeland": "Hundreds of state, local and federal databases clog our nation's digital infrastructure, collecting, sharing and hoarding inconceivable amounts of information about ordinary people. From DHS to the DOJ to the DOE, from the state and local police all the way up to the military and CIA, our government is increasingly relying on a data-driven model of social control. Below is only a tiny sampling of the many hundreds of government databases containing personally identifiable information about hundreds of millions of people."
Pentagon Says Chaplains May Perform Gay Weddings
http://www.truth-out.org/pentagon-says-chaplains-may-perform-gay-weddings/1317482988
Curtis Tate, McClatchy Newspapers: "The Defense Department issued new guidelines Friday that allow military chaplains to officiate at same-sex weddings, on or off military installations, in states where such weddings are allowed.... The Pentagon is treading carefully around the unsettled issue as it transitions away from the longstanding prohibition against gay service members declaring their sexuality."
Five Ways Occupy Wall Street Has Succeeded
http://www.truth-out.org/five-ways-occupy-wall-street-has-succeeded/1317476360
Mark Engler, YES! Magazine: 'Occupy Wall Street protests are now well into their second week, and they are increasingly capturing the public spotlight. This is because, whatever limitations their occupation has, the protesters have done many things right.... OccupyWallStreet has accomplished a great deal in the past week and a half, with virtually no resources. The following are some of the things the participants have done that allowed what might have been a negligible and insignificant protest to achieve a remarkable level of success."
Judging a Long, Deadly Reach
http://www.truth-out.org/judging-long-deadly-reach/1317484726
Scott Shane, The New York Times News Service: "The killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, an American citizen struck on Friday by a missile fired from a drone aircraft operated by his own government, instantly reignited a difficult debate over terrorism, civil liberties and the law.... A range of civil libertarians ... questioned how the government could take an American citizen's life based on secret intelligence and without a trial.... killing him amounted to summary execution without the due process of law guaranteed by the Constitution."
How Automatic License Plate Recognition Tracks Your Steps
http://www.truth-out.org/license-plate-recognition/1317338816
Lance Page, Ten Years Later: Surveillance in the "Homeland": As the surveillance state continues to expand, the push to track the movement of individuals across state borders has also grown. Automatic license plate recognition technology is at the forefront of this move, not only capturing thousands of license plates per minute and storying the information in a database, but also recording the GPS location of where it was 'pinged.' According to the ACLU of Washington, law enforcement agencies don't delete any of this information."
Keystone Hearing in Nebraska Sandhills Draws Mostly Critics, and Passions Flare
http://www.truth-out.org/keystone-hearing-nebraska-sandhills-draws-mostly-critics-and-passions-flare/1317489310
Lisa Song, InsideClimate News: "Local landowners spoke about the risk of putting an oil pipeline through the Nebraska sandhills, an ecologically sensitive area about 10 miles from Atkinson. A fifth-generation rancher said an oil spill would jeopardize her land and her children's future. The current route is 'just wrong,' she said."
Gandhi's Lesson for Today
http://www.truth-out.org/gandhis-lesson-today/1317487409
Kathy Kelly, Truthout: " Consider the contrast between Gandhi's precarious, defenseless efforts to reach his fellow humans, traveling alone and armed only with truth, and, in contrast, weigh U.S. reliance on a massive arsenal of weapons and armed warriors, costing the world $2 billion dollars per week in lost productivity."
California's Prison Hunger Strike is Back On
http://www.truth-out.org/californias-prison-hunger-strike-back/1317495539
Julianne Hing, Colorlines: "Prisoners at Pelican Bay State Prison's Secure Housing Unit who led a monthlong hunger strike in July say prison officials have not made good on promises to meet their original demands, and that they have no other choice but to go back on strike."
Edmund Burke and American Conservatism
http://www.truth-out.org/edmund-burke-and-american-conservatism/1317491425
James Kwak, Baseline Scenario: "The conservative movement in America is what it is; whether Edmund Burke would have blessed it or not is not going to change the number of signatories to the Taxpayer Protection Pledge. But Robin's book should make people skeptical of the occasional claim that there is some 'good conservatism' represented by, say, George Will, and some 'bad conservatism' represented by, say, Sarah Palin."
Would the Founders Back Health Law?
http://www.truth-out.org/would-founders-back-health-law/1317493767
Robert Parry, Consortium News: "The truth is that the Founders devised the federal government to be a powerful and adaptable entity with broad implicit powers, comparable to a sophisticated software platform that can handle a variety of tasks, anticipated and unanticipated."
