Corporate Media Fail to Hold Trump's Feet to Fire on Ongoing Bigotry Once Again During the ascent of Adolf Hitler to power, the U.S. media, including the New York Times, helped to paint a positive image of this demagogue.

Congress May Deputize Telecoms to Conduct Cyber Witch-Hunts House Bill 3261, the so-called "Stop Online Piracy Act" (SOPA), would deputize Telecoms such as Comcast and AT&T to help it police the Internet and to shut down websites without a court order and with full legal immunity. This is tantamount to giving government and its telecom cronies the power to conduct cyber-witch hunts against political opponents, competitors, and anyone else they think threatens their interests.

Crime, Conspiracy, and Wikileaks When Robert Novak published the name of a CIA Operative in the Washington Post, he jeapardized her operation and endangered lives; but he was not prosecuted for a crime; nor should Julian Assange. To do so sets a dangerous precedent and undermines the existence of a free press in the U.S.

President Obama's Orwellian New Category of "Prolonged Detention" President Obama wants to replace "unlawful enemy combatant" in Bush's 2006 Military Commissions Act with a new system of "prolonged detention" that could conceivably keep detainees in prison into perpetuity in order to prevent crimes they have not yet committed. Add to this Obama's continuation of the Bush administration's program of warrantless spying on millions of Americans, and the recipe for abuse is chilling.

Taking a Page from the Bush Playbook The Obama administration is now considering reinstating the Military Commissions Act, in contradiction to the president's promise to end military tribunals for detainees and to close down Gitmo. The disparity between the tribunals and due process for other criminals leaves intact the concept of "unlawful enemy combatant," as contained in the act, and thus threatens further evisceration of the rule of law.
