Bush says feds can open mail without warrant

(Love letters used to be in the sand ----- now they are in the bush)

By James Gordon Meek

New York Daily News

WASHINGTON — President Bush quietly has claimed sweeping new powers to open Americans' mail without a judge's warrant.

Bush asserted the new authority Dec. 20 after signing legislation that overhauls some postal regulations. He then issued a "signing statement" that declared his right to open mail under emergency conditions, contrary to existing law and contradicting the bill he had just signed, according to experts who have reviewed it.

Bush could send more US troops to Iraq

News reports: increase of US forces in Iraq estimated to be between 9,000 and 40,000 extra troops.

WASHINGTON - President George W. Bush could send up to 40,000 more US troops to Iraq when he unveils his revised Iraq policy, US media said Thursday, cautioning that a final figure has not been determined.

Time to change this way of doing business.

Help the new Congress start right

Hi,

As you may have heard, Nancy Pelosi is hoping to start off big with her "100 Hours Agenda." It's a bunch of progressive proposals, including cutting oil subsidies to invest in clean energy, getting cheaper prescription drugs for seniors, and raising the minimum wage.

Naturally, the big drug companies, oil companies, and business lobbies are fighting hard to stop her.

MoveOn has started a petition to Congress so we can show our representatives we're ready for some real progress, and they should act quickly to pass the 100 Hours Agenda.

Plus, the total signature count and some of our comments will be read out loud on the floor of Congress during the debate -- so the more we get, the louder our voice will be. You can join me in signing today at:

Thanks! Bruce

Project-Censored-L] Project Censored Releases New Study on Electromagnetic Weapons and Human Rights

US Electromagnetic Weapons and Human Rights

By Peter Phillips, Lew Brown and Bridget Thornton

Project Censored Releases a New study on the History of US Intelligence Community Human Rights Violations and Continuing Research in Electromagnetic Weapons

Full Study at:

http://www.projectcensored.org/newsflash/ElectromegnaticWeapons.pdf

This research explores the current capabilities of the US military to use electromagnetic (EMF) devices to harass, intimidate, and kill individuals and the continuing possibilities of violations of human rights by the testing and deployment of these weapons. To establish historical precedent in the US for such acts, we document long-term human rights and freedom of thought violations by US military/intelligence organizations. Additionally, we explore contemporary evidence of on-going government research in EMF weapons technologies and examine the potentialities of continuing human rights abuses.
