A Public Service Announcement from Polizeros
This website is, and shall, remain free from news of the ex-President who just died. In fact, we won’t even mention his name. Many other websites and media sources are either considering canonizing him or are decrying him as Evil Incarnate, and frankly, we’re tired of the whole silly thing…

Prison interrogators’ gloves came off before Abu Ghraib
After American Taliban recruit John Walker Lindh was captured in Afghanistan, the office of Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld instructed military intelligence officers to “take the gloves off” in interrogating him.
This certainly sounds like Rumsfeld ordered torture, eh?
Bush ignored Pentagon lawyers over tactics in war on terror
The Bush administration routinely bypassed or overruled Pentagon experts on international law and the Geneva convention to construct a sweeping legal justification for harsh tactics in the war on terror, the Guardian has learnt.
No need to concern oneself with bothersome laws when you are deluded that Jesus whispers in your ear telling to invade countries.
A plunge from the moral heights
It is commonly said that we are a nation of laws, not men. And we are. But beyond the laws, we are also a nation of men and women with a common ethic. Some things are not American. Torture, for damned sure, is one of them.
This from that radical publication, the Washington Post.

Security or lunatic paranoia?
Food is purchased anonymously, menus are secret and meals are tested for poison
Federal agents have been in <the executive chefs’> kitchen for weeks, memorizing his movements so that this week, when he cooks the most important meals of his career, they can detect the telltale flicker of a wandering hand or an unexpected ingredient.
“He put in extra salt!” “It could be poison!!” “Better break both his arms then torch the kitchen!!!”

Florida, the sequel?
“The head of Florida’s elections division resigned Monday amid reports he was feeling political heat over a push to purge thousands of suspected felons from the state’s voter rolls.
But Kast has told a handful of associates that he was uncomfortable with growing pressure to trim felons from voter rolls in time for the fall election.”

U.N. endorses Iraq’s interim government
The United States and Britain made a major concession, granting the interim government the right to ask multinational forces to leave.
Hmmm, but do they have to leave if asked? Seriously! Nothing I have read indicates the US must or would leave if asked.
Chirac rejects call for more Nato troops in Iraq
Other nations also refuse to send troops
There is no commitment from any nation supporting the council resolution to send troops to Iraq. France, Germany, Russia and Canada already have said they will not.
Bush’s UN ploy has failed. He wanted other countries to send troops and it is clear now they will not.

Saboteurs blow up key Iraqi pipeline
Saboteurs blew up a key northern oil pipeline Wednesday, forcing a 10 percent cut on the national power grid as demand for electricity rises with the advent of Iraq’s broiling summer heat.
More than a year after the occupation began, power cuts are common nationwide, in some places topping 16 hours a day.
Baghdad will be 103-108 during the next ten days, according to Weather.com.
