Wild monkeys to measure radiation levels in Fukushima 12 Dec 2011 Wild monkeys in nuclear-hit Fukushima are to be fitted with special radiation-reading monitors in order to measure contamination levels in forests. The new project, conducted by researchers at Fukushima University, will involve monkeys being fitted with collars containing radiation meters and GPS transmitters. Scientists will be able to monitor radiation levels deep across forest areas in Fukushima, home to the nuclear power plant severely damaged on March 11. The range of elevations at which monkeys spend their time will also enable scientists to obtain a broad spectrum of radiation level data, from the forest floor to the treetops.
 
Police to test laser that 'blinds rioters' --Similar devices have been used by ISAF troops in Afghanistan to protect convoys from insurgents. 11 Dec 2011 (UK) A shoulder-mounted laser that emits a blinding wall of light capable of repelling rioters is to be trialled by police. The technology, developed by a former Royal Marine commando, temporarily impairs the vision of anyone who looks towards the source. It has impressed a division of the Home Office which is testing a new range of devices because of the growing number of violent situations facing the police. The laser, resembling a rifle and known as an SMU 100, can dazzle and incapacitate targets up to 500m away with a wall of light up to three metres squared.
 
Police employ Predator drone spy planes on home front --The previously unreported use of its drones to assist local, state and federal law enforcement has occurred without any public acknowledgment or debate. 10 Dec 2011 (ND) Local police say they have used two unarmed Predators based at Grand Forks Air Force Base to fly at least two dozen surveillance flights since June. The FBI and Drug Enforcement Administration have used Predators for other domestic investigations, officials said. The drones belong to U.S. Customs and Border Protection, which operates eight Predators on the country's northern and southwestern borders to search for illegal immigrants and smugglers.
 
Google chairman says online piracy bill would 'criminalize' the Internet 12 Dec 2011 An online piracy bill in the House would "criminalize linking and the fundamental structure of the Internet itself," according to Google Executive Chairman Eric Schmidt. Schmidt said the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) would punish Web firms, including search engines, that link to foreign websites dedicated to online piracy. He said implementing the bill as written would effectively break the Internet. "By criminalizing links, what these bills do is they force you to take content off the Internet," Schmidt said, calling it a form of censorship.
 
Beyond Guantánamo, a Web of Prisons for Terrorism Inmates 11 Dec 2011 It is the other Guantánamo, an archipelago of federal prisons that stretches across the country, hidden away on back roads. Today, it houses far more men convicted in terrorism cases than the shrunken population of the prison in Cuba that has generated so much debate. An aggressive prosecution strategy, aimed at prevention as much as punishment, has sent away scores of people. They serve long sentences, often in restrictive, Muslim-majority units, under intensive monitoring by prison officers.
 
More than 1,000 Occupy protesters block western shipping ports in California, Oregon and Washington --'Shutdown Wall Street on the Waterfront' protesters hoped to cut into profits of corporations that run docks 13 Dec 2011 More than 1,000 Occupy Wall Street protesters blocked cargo trucks at busy West Coast ports Monday, forcing some shipping terminals in Oakland, Calif., Portland, Ore., and Longview, Wash., to halt operations. While the protests attracted far fewer people than the 10,000 who turned out Nov. 2 to shut down Oakland's port, organizers declared victory and promised more demonstrations to come.
 
Protesters halt operations at some western ports 13 Dec 2011 After their successful attempts to block trucks and curb business at busy ports up and down the West Coast, some Occupy Wall Street protesters plan to continue their blockades and keep staging similar protests. Thousands of demonstrators forced shipping terminals in Oakland, Calif., Portland, Ore., and Longview, Wash., to halt parts of their operations Monday and some intend to keep their blockade attempts ramped up overnight. The movement, which sprang up this fall against what it sees as corporate greed and economic inequality, focused on the ports as the "economic engines for the elite."
 
Police Evict Protesters From Occupy Boston Site --Boston police: 46 arrested 11 Dec 2011 The police swept into Occupy Boston's campsite early Saturday morning, bringing one of the country's largest continuous demonstrations inspired by New York City's Occupy Wall Street protest to an end. Police officers arrived shortly before 5 a.m., dragging tents out of the camp and warning the roughly 75 protesters who had stayed the night there that they would be arrested if the did not leave. Some protesters noted that they could not read police badges, and some members of the media said they were kept at a distance as arrests were being made.
 
'Strip search' claims prompt call for advocate at US airports 11 Dec 2011 Two New York lawmakers want to place a passenger advocate at airports to immediately act on complaints from passengers about security screenings. U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer and state Sen. Michael Gianaris, both Democrats, are calling on the Transportation Security Administration to create the position at all airports. The proposal to be released Sunday was prompted by recent claims that elderly women were strip searched by security officials at Kennedy Airport, which the TSA denies, saying it doesn't conduct strip searches.
 
Hezbollah identifies undercover CIA officers 13 Dec 2011 The militant group Hezbollah has revealed the identities of CIA officers working undercover in Lebanon, a blow to agency operations in the region and the latest salvo in an escalating spy war. Hezbollah made the names public in a broadcast Friday night on a Lebanese television station, al-Manar. Using animated videos, the station recreated meetings purported to take place between CIA officers and paid informants at Starbucks and Pizza Hut. The disclosure comes after Hezbollah managed to partially unravel the agency's spy network in Lebanon after running a double agent against the CIA, former and current U.S. intelligence officials said.
 
Hezbollah: CIA agents hold open meetings in north Beirut 12 Dec 2011 Hezbollah MP Nawwaf Musawi Monday said there were open meetings taking place by U.S. intelligence agents in the Metn area, and urged the government to deal with U.S. intelligence the same way they deal with Israel. "There are currently open meetings held by American intelligence agents in Lebanon in restaurants and nightclubs in Dbayeh and Jounieh," Musawi told LBCI in a live interview. He also said that among the agents are a doctor, a researcher and a journalist, and asked them to surrender to the Lebanese security services or to the resistance's security apparatus.
 
Barack Obama demands Iran return downed US drone [LOL! Hey, Obusha! Finders - keepers!] President Barack Obama on Monday acknowledged a US drone was in Iranian hands for the first time and said the United States has asked Tehran to return the sophisticated spy aircraft. "We've asked for it back. We'll see how the Iranians respond," Obama said at a news conference with Iraqi Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki. It was the first open confirmation by the Obama administration that Iran was in possession of the drone, which Tehran says it brought down as the plane was flying over the country's territory [spying, illegally].
 
Iran to take US aggression to intl. bodies 11 Dec 2011 Iran's foreign minister says Tehran will complain to the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) and the Non-Aligned Movement (NAM) about the recent violation of Iranian airspace by an American reconnaissance drone. Speaking at a joint press conference with his visiting Namibian counterpart Utoni Nujoma in Tehran on Sunday, Ali Akbar Salehi said, "This measure by the Americans is an act of aggression." He added that Iran would be pursuing the case within the framework of international conventions and through all legal and judicial channels, IRNA reported.
 
US forces set fire to equipment before leaving Pakistan airbase --Pakistan set Dec 11 deadline for US to vacate airbase 12 Dec 2011 US personnel set fire to all their redundant equipment before vacating Pakistan's Shamsi airbase that had been used to launch drone attacks, an official said. The US completed evacuation of the airbase on Sunday and Frontier Corps personnel promptly took over. A security official told the daily Dawn that US forces had left virtually nothing there and they set all their redundant and useless equipment on fire before leaving.
 
Trapped NATO fuel trucks set on fire in Pakistan 12 Dec 2011 A group of fuel tankers contracted to NATO forces in Afghanistan were set on fire by armed militants on motorcycles who ambushed the convoy in southwest Pakistan, officials said. The gunmen opened fire on the trucks, killing one driver and forcing the others to stop in an area 90 kilometers (55 miles) southwest of Quetta, the capital of Balochistan province, police official Abdul Qadir said. The eight trucks were then set alight.
 
New Concerns About Northwest Nuclear Waste Plant 11 Dec 2011 The federal government says a one-of-a-kind plant that will convert radioactive waste into a stable and storable substance that resembles glass will cost hundreds of millions of dollars more and may take longer to build, adding to a string of delays and skyrocketing price tag for the project. In addition, several workers at southeast Washington's Hanford nuclear reservation have raised concerns about the safety of the plant's design -- and complained they've been retaliated against for voicing their issues.
 
Supreme Court to look at Arizona immigration law 12 Dec 2011 The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments in the lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Arizona's immigration law, Senate Bill 1070. Its ruling could impact immigration laws nationwide and push the immigration debate into the spotlight during the final months of the 2012 presidential race. The high court issued its two-sentence decision to hear the case Monday morning. No court date has been set, but justices will likely hear arguments this spring and release a decision in the summer.
 
Mitt Romney, Newt Gingrich call on each other to return millions 13 Dec 2011 Trading accusations of greed, [sociopaths] Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich challenged each other Monday to return millions made in private business as the race for the GOP presidential nomination turned increasingly acerbic and personal at the start of a three-week sprint to the Iowa caucuses. Far from Iowa, the two men campaigned miles apart from each other in next-up New Hampshire, where Romney has long dominated in polls but where Gingrich is aggressively working to make inroads.
 
Mitt Romney challenges Rick Perry to $10,000 bet in GOP debate 11 Dec 2011 In a moment during Saturday's GOP debate in Iowa that The Fix's Chris Cillizza called a "rare but likely costly unforced error," former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney challenged Texas Gov. Rick Perry to a $10,000 bet on Romney's position on the individual mandate in the nation's new health insurance law... After a bit of back-and-forth, a visibly annoyed Romney extended his hand to Perry: "Rick, I'll tell you what, 10,000 bucks?" Romney said. "$10,000 bet?" Perry, who appeared surprised by the move, declined, saying he is "not in the betting business" but offered to show him the book.
