Georgia rushes to complete executions before lethal drug supply runs out

Posted on by

“Georgia’s difficulties procuring execution drugs is a reflection of the gradual stranglehold that is being put on the US death penalty by authorities and companies around the world refusing to act as accomplices in the death sentence. The European Commission, following unilateral action by the UK, has imposed restrictions on the export of medicines to all US corrections departments.  One of the leading manufacturers of pentobarbital, the Danish firm Lundbeck, has introduced tough restrictions on the distribution of the drug to prevent it falling into the hands of US executioners.”

Julian Assange on Real Time With Bill Maher: NDAA Kill List

“WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange weighed in on the brewing controversy surrounding the Obama administration’s targeted killing program Friday night during an appearance on ‘Real Time With Bill Maher.’  Assange railed against the revelation, made by NBC News earlier this week, that the U.S. government reserves the right to extrajudicially kill U.S. citizens, as long as they are perceived to be ‘imminent’ terror threats — with ‘imminence’ being given an especially broad definition.”

Guantánamo commander admits listening devices eavesdropped on lawyer meetings with clients

Posted on by

“The battered credibility of the Guantánamo trials has been further dented by revelations of hidden microphones, intelligence service interference with court proceedings and protests from lawyers who say the US military is preventing a proper defence of the alleged organisers of the 9/11 attacks.  In recent days, the commander of the Guantánamo prison, Colonel John Bogdan, was forced to admit on the witness stand that secret listening devices disguised as smoke detectors were installed in the cell where lawyers met their clients, and that he knew nothing about them.”

US Killed Hundreds of Children in Afghanistan, Says New Report — US Rejects Report

Posted on by

“The UN Committee on the Rights of the Child reported that it was ‘alarmed’ by reports that hundreds of children died as a result of the U.S.-led war in Afghanistan because of a ‘reported lack of precautionary measures and indiscriminate use of force,’ the Los Angeles Times reported over the weekend. The UN report also condemned the arrest and detention of children in Afghanistan. But the U.S. military said ‘the reports were unsubstantiated and cited figures from the U.N. Assistance Mission in Afghanistan showing that the vast majority of civilian deaths and injuries in Afghanistan over the last several years were caused by insurgents.'”

Paul Craig Roberts: It Has Happened Here

Posted on by

withkitties_150_1202

“Some Americans claim that we have had police states during other wartimes and that once the war on terror is won, the police state will be dismantled. Others claim that government will be judicious in its use of the power and that if you are doing nothing wrong you have nothing to fear.  These are reassurances from the deluded. The Bush/Obama police state is far more comprehensive than Lincoln’s, Wilson’s, or Roosevelt’s, and the war on terror is open-ended and is already three times longer than World War II. The Police State is acquiring ‘squatter’s rights.’  Moreover, the government needs the police state in order to protect itself from accountability.”

Extraordinary rendition report claims 54 countries ‘offered covert support’ of CIA torture operation

Posted on by

“The full extent of the CIA’s extraordinary rendition programme has been laid bare with the publication of a report showing there is evidence that more than a quarter of the world’s governments covertly offered support.  A 213-page report compiled by the Open Society Justice Initiative (OSJI), a New York-based human rights organisation, says that at least 54 countries co-operated with the global kidnap, detention and torture operation that was mounted after 9/11, many of them in Europe.  So widespread and extensive was the participation of governments across the world that it is now clear the CIA could not have operated its programme without their support, according to the OSJI.”

UN to investigate legality of U.S drone strikes

Posted on by

“A newly-announced UN inquiry into the rise of drone strikes and targeted killings around the world has drawn measured optimism and concerns from national security experts and the international human rights community.  While 51 states possess the technology to use drones, according to Emmerson, the US is responsible for the vast majority of the world’s drone strikes and the practice of targeted killing has become a central component of the Obama administration’s efforts to combat al-Qaida. According to the Bureau of Investigative Journalism, CIA drone strikes in Pakistan alone have resulted in as many as 3,461 deaths, including up to 891 civilians.”

Torture of prisoners persists in Afghanistan: UN

Posted on by

“The UN issued a follow-up to a report on torture a year ago, as Kabul seeks full control over prisons and prisoners from NATO’s International Security Assistance Force despite the misgivings of the US-led ISAF.  Other forms of torture included hanging suspects by the wrists from chains for long periods and threatening them with sexual violence, the UN mission in Afghanistan said in its 139-page analysis released late Sunday.  Many of those tortured to extract confessions were children under the age of 18, it said.”

CIA beat and sodomized wrongly detained German citizen

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/CIA-HQ-via-AFP1.jpg

“CIA agents tortured a German citizen, sodomising, shackling, and beating him, as Macedonian state police looked on, the European court of human rights said in a historic judgment released on Thursday.  In a unanimous ruling, it also found Macedonia guilty of torturing, abusing, and secretly imprisoning Khaled el-Masri, a German of Lebanese origin allegedly linked to terrorist organisations.  Masri was seized in Macedonia in December 2003 and handed over to a CIA ‘rendition team’ at Skopje airport and secretly flown to Afghanistan.  It is the first time the court has described CIA treatment meted out to terror suspects as torture.”

Family of American subjected to indefinite detention pleads for international human rights review

Posted on by

http://freedomwat.ch/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/gitmo.afp_2.jpg

“The family of Jose Padilla, an American citizen captured on U.S. soil and held without charge by the military as an enemy combatant, filed a petition with the Organization of American States (OAS) on Tuesday seeking a human rights review of Padilla’s treatment.  Padilla and his mother have maintained for years that he was tortured while in U.S. custody, including being forced into stress positions, being kept awake for days at a time and being fed LSD and PCP against his will. The Bush administration ultimately claimed he was engaged in a plot to blow up a so-called ‘dirty bomb,’ but he was never charged with such a conspiracy.”
