*ACLU Sues CIA, DOJ, and NSA for Records About Warrantless Spying on Americans.*

*Tackle "Abuse of Water" by Big Ag and Big Oil, Advocates Say Amid Colorado River Fight*

I think that "abuse" is the wrong word for this. It should be "misuse". But it is a very big misuse. Fracking misuses enormous amounts of water. So does growing feed for cattle.

Five years ago, the wrecker's officials separated thousands of migrant children from their parents. Despite persistent efforts, 1000 of them still not been reunited with those parents, because the wrecker's officials preserved no usable information about who those parents were and how to find them.

Dubya's solicitor-general, who argued in the Supreme Court in favor of trying the prisoners in Guantánamo in "military commissions" (kangaroo courts), now says that that was a terrible mistake. The US should have brought them to a real US court for trial.

He also says it was self-defeating to ask for the death penalty for any of them, and that the US should offer them plea deals now.

I think that after the many years in prison and torture they have suffered, the US should offer them a plea deal for time already served, and let them go.

*The Tories now face a choice: lose office with honour or burn everything in sight.*

I partly disagree with that statement. After 13 years of lies, bullshit, broken promises and voter suppression, all designed to help the rich and drive the poor into hunger, cold and sickness, we must not recognize the Tories as possessing any sort of honor merely for putting a limit on their mayhem at a point before the bitter end.
