http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31456-us-prisons-block-access-to-lifesaving-addiction-medication
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: Why are prison bosses ignoring medical treatments that save lives and reduce crime? Correctional officials say that prisons rehabilitate people, but that's a hard pill to swallow when science shows their own policies contribute to the social problems they are supposed to be solving.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31496-how-the-bush-administration-created-the-iran-nuclear-confession-scam

http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31514-an-berniesanders-talking-filibuster-could-help-stop-the-fast-track-to-greater-inequality
Robert Naiman, Truthout: We need a mass movement to win changes in government policy, but leadership matters. Sen. Bernie Sanders should put his "Bat Signal" in the sky and filibuster the fast-track vote as long as he can, explaining how the measure would seriously worsen our democracy's problems.
Bankers Think They Have an Ethical Duty to Steal From Taxpayers
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31489-bankers-think-they-have-an-ethical-duty-to-steal-from-taxpayers
Lynn Stuart Parramore, The Institute for New Economic Thinking: Ed Kane, a professor of finance at Boston College, studies the dangerous risk-taking of giant banks.

Dean Baker | The Trans-Pacific Partnership, Drug Patents and President Clinton
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31492-the-trans-pacific-partnership-drug-patents-and-president-clinton
Dean Baker, Truthout: The quixotic quest in the Trans-Pacific Partnership deal is to preserve the drug patent system for centuries and make the whole world suffer from its wastefulness. In this respect, President Obama seems destined to duplicate one of the worst mistakes of the Clinton administration.

Tom Engelhardt, TomDispatch: The threat of Islamic terrorism here is also a meal ticket for the national security state. With that in mind, let's take a look at the dangers of armed life in the US, a quick survey of national insecurity in a country armed to the teeth.
"Sentence First, Verdict Afterwards": The Alice in Wonderland World of Fast Track
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/31498-sentence-first-verdict-afterwards-the-alice-in-wonderland-world-of-fast-track
Ellen Brown, The Web of Debt Blog: The secretive nature of the investor-state dispute settlement provisions of the TPP and the lack of any requirement to consider precedent give wide scope for creative judgments - the sort of arbitrary edicts satirized by Lewis Carroll in "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland."
Some Republican Senators Continue to Support Torture
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/31495-some-senators-continue-to-support-torture
Robin Marty, Care2: With the passage of the National Defense Authorization Act amendment in the Senate, the US is one step closer to permanently banning the use of torture as a means of interrogation. Yet not every senator is in favor of keeping that practice out of the field.
