Obama lawyers: Citizens targeted if at war with US 01 Dec 2011 U.S. citizens are legitimate military targets when they take up arms with al-Qaida, top national security lawyers in the Obama regime said Thursday. The lawyers were asked at a national security conference about the CIA killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, a U.S. citizen and [alleged] leading al-Qaida figure. He died in a Sept. 30 U.S. drone strike in the mountains of Yemen. The government lawyers, CIA counsel Stephen Preston and Pentagon counsel Jeh Johnson, said U.S. citizens do not have immunity when they are at war with the United States. [Taking up arms with al-Qaeda? In that case, the CIA will be at war with itself. --MDR]

US targets WikiLeaks like no other organisation 03 Dec 2011 WikiLeaks is the target of an "unprecedented" US government criminal investigation, Australian diplomatic cables obtained by the Herald reveal. The cables also show the Australian government wants to be forewarned about moves to extradite Julian Assange to the United States, but that Australian diplomats raised no concerns about him being pursued by prosecutors on charges of espionage and conspiracy. The cables, released under freedom of information to the Herald this week, show Australian diplomats have been talking to the US Justice Department for more than a year about US criminal investigations of WikiLeaks and Mr Assange.

 

Napolitano says lone wolf terror threat growing 02 Dec 2011 U.S. Homeland Security Director Janet Napolitano says the risk of "lone wolf" attackers is on the rise as the global terrorist threat has shifted in recent years. Napolitano is also warning about the need to keep dangerous travelers from reaching the United States and urging European partners to finalize a deal on sharing passenger data.

 

Amnesty urges African nations to arrest George Bush 01 Dec 2011 Amnesty International on Thursday urged Ethiopia, Tanzania and Zambia to arrest former US president [sic] George W. Bush for violating international torture laws, during his African tour this week. Bush is touring the countries through to Monday to promote efforts to fight cervical and breast cancers, and Amnesty said the three nations have an obligation to arrest him under international law. "All countries to which George W. Bush travels have an obligation to bring him to justice for his role in torture," said Amnesty's senior legal adviser Matt Pollard.

 

Bomb 'bid to assassinate Iraq PM' 02 Dec 2011 A bomb attack in Baghdad's Green Zone earlier this week was an assassination attempt targeting Iraq's prime minister, a military spokesman has said. Qassim al-Moussawi said the blast on Monday was from a car loaded with explosives which blew up outside an entrance to parliament. At the time, officials said they did not know if the explosion was the result of rocket or mortar fire into the Green Zone or whether a bomber managed to get inside.

 

Pakistan orders troops to return fire if attacked on Afghan border 02 Dec 2011 Pakistan's top military commander has issued orders to the country's troops to return fire should they come under attack again from U.S.-led coalition forces, a move that's likely to increase tensions after an American-led air raid on two border outposts last week killed 24 Pakistani soldiers. Gen. Ashfaq Parvez Kayani, Pakistan's army chief, issued the order in a letter to his troops that set out the rules of engagement against any "aggressor."

 

Three NATO troops killed by bomb in Afghanistan 03 Dec 2011 Three troops from the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) were killed by a roadside bomb in eastern Afghanistan Saturday, officials said. ISAF did not say which country the dead troops were from or give further details of the incident, in line with policy.

 

US weapons 'full of fake Chinese parts' 08 Nov 2011 Thousands of United States' warplanes, ships and missiles contain fake electronic components from China, leaving them open to malfunction, according to a US Senate committee. The US Senate Armed Services Committee said its researchers had uncovered 1,800 cases in which the Pentagon had been sold electronics that may be counterfeit. In total, the committee said it had found more than a million fake parts had made their way into warplanes such as the Boeing C-17 transport jet and the Lockheed Martin C-130J "Super Hercules". It also found fake components in Boeing's CH-46 Sea Knight helicopter and the Theatre High-Altitude Area Defence (THAAD) missile defence system.

 

Police arrest 29 Occupy Tampa protesters after asking them to vacate park 03 Dec 2011 One by one, they were handcuffed, pulled from the grass and loaded into a police van. All 29 of them. In the biggest night of arrests since the Occupy Tampa movement began three months ago, police charged demonstrators with trespassing in a public park after hours and resisting arrest without violence late Thursday. Both charges are misdemeanors. Officers also used a city ordinance to issue trespass warnings to those who were arrested. The warning is effective in all city parks.

 

Unions claim win in mass UK strike 01 Dec 2011 British unions claimed that up to two million public sector workers went on strike over changes to their pensions after the government responded to slashed growth forecasts with fresh spending cuts. In what unions called the biggest walkout in decades, thousands of schools were shut, hospitals operated with minimum staffing levels and local authorities were paralysed, although the government contested the unions' figures. Thousands of workers marched through central London and Manchester, northwest England, during the 24-hour strike.

 

U.S. jobless rate drops to 2-1/2 year low 02 Dec 2011 The U.S. unemployment rate tumbled to a 2-1/2 year low in November, even though the pace of hiring remained too slow to suggest a significant acceleration in the labor market recovery. Nonfarm payrolls increased by 120,000 jobs last month, the Labor Department said on Friday, and the jobless rate dropped to 8.6 percent, the lowest since March 2009, from 9.0 percent in October.

 

Cain to announce decision in Atlanta Saturday 02 Dec 2011 Herman Cain said Friday he will announce his presidential campaign's next steps in Atlanta this weekend amid uncertainty over whether he will stay in the race following allegations of an extramarital affair [not to mention, allegedly harassing/assaulting lots of other women]. The McDonough businessman said he would make the announcement at the grand opening of his Georgia campaign headquarters Saturday morning. Cain previously said he will return to Georgia Friday and, after gauging his wife's support, decide whether to continue his presidential campaign.
