We have not taken care of trees well enough, and now the effects of global heating are killing whole forests.

An interview with Kristinn Hrafnsson of WikiLeaks.

The UK has finally succeeded in deporting Abu Qatada to Jordan, but it is not clear whether there was any reason to do so, as he was never accused of a crime except based on evidence obtained by torture.

It is especially strange to say the goal was to get him out of the UK, then oppose bail on the grounds that he might leave the UK.

The UK government claims to be powerless to do anything about Guantanamo, but it could demand release of Shaker Aamer if it wanted to.

Obama has kept the public in the dark about crucial points in Bradley Manning's trial.

However, we know the crucial point: Obama is out to get him because he was loyal to the American people.

The case against Bradley Manning has gaping holes.

Even if it fails, he will still be imprisoned for the lesser charges to which he pled guilty. I suggest we celebrate Bradley Manning Day annually on Dec 17 (his birthday).
