US citizens: call on fast food companies not to use GMO potatoes.

A UK minister says, if the government could watch all communications, it would find more "pedophiles".

They are not talking finding and imprisoning men that have sex with children. They are talking about finding and imprisoning men who have or redistribute copies of images that depict sex with children, or perhaps with adolescents labeled as children; they want to imprison them because there is some chance they would have sex with children, or with adolescents. I don't believe that should be done at all.

This campaign, unjust in itself, is presented as an excuse for total surveillance of everyone. That power would of course be used against other targets — journalists' sources, dissidents, anyone who gets in the way.

Imagine if in 2019 the Senate investigates the US drone bombing campaign as it has investigated torture.

A secret CIA study warned about this in 2009.

The crucial difference is not between drones and manned bombers or artillery. Rather, what makes the US drone bombing campaign both wrong and self-defeating is that it is carried out away from battlefields.

New pun: trees.

Campaigners are putting labels on goods in UK stores that make demands to pay their workers a living wage.
