Firms Are Asked to Stop One-Drug Malaria Therapy

What vicious nonsense! Save as many people as you can now as a) technology is continuing to improve at increasing speed; b) it is the job of health organizations to do so; c) some of those people saved may in fact be inventor of the next great cures; d) there is no hard model that shows resistance to this drug increases that rapidly if it is used alone as compared to with other drugs. On the other hand the practice of selling inadequate treatments should end as this does risk the drug becoming ineffective for little gain.

But WHO is acting much too broadly before the science is in as far as I see.

CNN.com - Gonzales defends NSA, rejects call for�prosecutor - Jan 17, 2006

Is it up to one of the people possibly subject to investigation to approve or disapprove of an investigation? Have we sunk that far? Gonzales is Bush's man. If we can only have an investigation of this or any other incident if he approves then we are lost.

CNN.com - Cheney:�Spy program�key to terror war - Jan 19, 2006

The real safeguards in the form of relevant laws were ignored. So excuse us if we aren't satisfied by empty claims after the fact that no harm was done and claims that our civil liberites were safeguarded. By definition our liberties and rights were violated and they continue to be violated by a government that believes it is outside the law and believes that anything whatsoever is more important than the rights of the people.

All international communication is potentially to Al Qaeda? Communication that is domestic could also be to Al Qaeda. does this mean that all communication should be eavesdropped on by the government? Should all Americans be assumed guilty until proven innocent?

It is time to throw these autocrats out of office and in jail where they belong. But the people are too far gone to see this or to take any such action. We are on the way down in my humble opinion.

So, let me get this straight. Justice can't investigate a sittings president for what looks like a perfecty clear violation of laws protecting the American people. But it can open an investigation (and did) to hound the people who reported this violation?

To me it looks like Justice is not in the least concerned with "justice" if it is pointed at this administration.

Bush Defends Legality of Domestic Spy Program - New York Times

It seems to me that the press is bending over backwards to trumpet the administrations claims it did nothing wrong when it authorized domestic spying on Americans without obeying even minimal laws. Could the media outlets be frightened by the earlier ploy by the administration to take legal action against them for even bringing the matter to the attention of the American public?

This American is real tired of reading Big Lies day after day in the press. By the time Congress investigates the administration and media will have ground it into most of the public that this blatant violation and real danger to the freedoms we hold dear was simply business as usual.
