ACLU sues Obama administration over treatment of terrorist

By Alejandro Lazo and Andrew Tangel, Los Angeles Times February 4, 2013, 10:14 p.m. The federal government is embarking on one of its most ambitious efforts to assign blame for the financial crisis, going after Wall Street's biggest credit rating firm for its role in pumping up the housing bubble. The Justice Department filed a lawsuit late Monday in Los Angeles federal court against Standard & Poor's Corp. The suit accuses the compan ...

By Stephen C. WebsterMonday, January 11th, 2010 -- 10:15 pm The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit on behalf of a former government prosecutor who was fired after he spoke out against the Obama administration's handling of Guantanamo Bay detainees. The suit alleges Col. Morris D. Davis was fired from the Congressional Research Service after he wrote an article and letter to the editor critical of Obama's continuation of the military commission trials started by Presid ...

The American Civil Liberties Union has uncovered memos that show the National Security Agency (NSA) and FBI “violated specific civil liberty protections during the Obama administration by improperly searching and disseminating raw intelligence on Americans or failing to promptly delete unauthorized intercepts,” as reported by The Hill on Tuesday. The memos, which The Hill was able to review, were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) request by the ACLU. They cover compliance ...

My liberal hero has done it again! (Hedges is one of the handful of libs who actually THINK rather than just FEEL.) This man is intelligent, erudite, a deep thinker, and MORAL -- one of the few remaining classical liberals. Years ago, libs used to say, "I don't agree with you, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Nowadays libs are FASCISTS, stating, "Agree with me or else!" Pulitzer-Prize-winning author Chris Hedges has filed suit against the Obama ...

By law, the Pentagon must notify Congress 30 days before a prisoner transfer, a deadline that Obama made on Monday. In June, Obama made sure to release Abdel Malik Ahmed Abdel Wahab al-Rahabi, the bodyguard, 9/11 planner, and possible relative of Osama bin Laden, from Guantanamo Bay. In September, Obama's administration informed the American people that two more Islamic terrorists released from Guantanamo Bay returned to the battlefield to fight against the United States. That news ...

Say what you want about the VA but I filed a claim due to my condition that caused me to need surgery on March 30th and I filed a claim on May 17th for my surgery, both were completed today. That's a 70 day from start to finish which is a far cry from how it used to be. In fact, the first one would have been quicker if it wasn't for me filing the second one, the policy is to combine claims and finish them together. Whatever steps the VA is taking to serve veterans better, it's ...

Warning for the bloodthirsty, this may be a little more real and cold-blooded than even you care for. We're also coming up quickly on over 3000 innocents killed in our drone attacks, a milestone in that innocent deaths overseas will increasingly exceed those 9/11 deaths we've used as a justification for this approach. Note Obama's "Terrorism Tuesdays" devoted to fighting this new kind of war that replaces conventional action and mostly lets our kids stay home. From the Washington ...

The Obama administration wants to work with the rest of the world on cybersecurity and freedom of individuals to access information via the internet. This is still another area where I approve very much what President Obama is working to achieve. http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2011/05/16/obama-outlines-global-plan-cyberspace/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+foxnews%2Fpolitics+%28Internal+-+Politics+-+Text%29&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher ...

It's about time. The government has been dragging their feet on this issue hoping the full health care plan would go into effect before they had to do anything. U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson ruled Thursday that implementation of the health law can proceed — but he gave the Obama administration just seven days to file an appeal. Vinson issued a stay of his own Jan. 31 ruling that declared the entire health care reform law unconstitutional. He chastised the govern ...

If this issue has been previously covered on this board, sorry, I missed it. You can read the article and the letter of request on Fox if you aren't afraid of catching being "fair, balanced, and unafraid." "Republican Rep. Darrell Issa has threatened to subpoena the Department of Health and Human Services if it does not turn over documents by Thursday on a program he claims is being used to "buy" the election by hiding the effects of ObamaCare."

up at Margaret Thatcher's funeral. Why? She was one of our staunchest ally's yet the Obama adminstration didn't send one person to her funeral. I find that a slap in the face to our closest ally, disgusting and ignorant besides....and don't make excuses by stating the marathon bombing kept it from happening. She died before the bombing. It wasn't like Obama had to be there but he could have sent SOMEONE like he did to represent the U.S. at other official ...

Obama Administration to Review All Deportation Cases, Apply DREAM Act-Style Criteria By Judson Berger Published August 18, 2011 | FoxNews.com The Obama administration announced Thursday that it would launch a case-by-case review of illegal immigrants slated for deportation, in a move that could grant a reprieve to so-called DREAM Act beneficiaries and thousands of others. The DREAM Act is a proposal in Congress to give illegal immigrants who came to the U.S. as children a chance at le ...

Tyrants throughout history have known that beheading their enemies and placing the heads on pikes at the gates of their capitals sends a powerful message to everyone else. Behave yourself as we dictate, and you may survive. Cross the king, and you are a dead man. Something very similar, but updated and taken to a vast financial level, happened to ITT Tech, the privately owned trade school/university. As the Wall Street Journal explains, it crossed the king (in this case, the Obama Department ...

A new congressional investigation has determined that the Obama administration fired a top scientist and intimidated staff at the Department of Energy in order to further its climate change agenda, according to a new report that alleges the administration ordered top officials to obstruct Congress in order to forward this agenda.

The Obama administration formally announced that inspectors general will have to get permission from their agency heads to gain access to grand jury, wiretap and fair credit information — an action that severely limits the watchdogs’ oversight capabilities, independence and power to uncover fraud. An opinion, issued by the Department of Justice's Office of Legal Counsel, says the Inspector General Act of 1978 — which was written by Congress to create the government watchdogs in or ...

Two reports on Thursday should send alarm bells clanging to beef up the government's cybersecurity. Whether anyone in the Obama administration will hear them is another question. Like the Department of Energy, the OPM had been repeatedly warned that its network was vulnerable, but did next to nothing to fix it. Is it going to take a cataclysmic cyberattack before the Obama administration takes these threats seriously?” ...
