CIA Torture Was No 'Rash' Mistake
We play a dangerous game in decrying torture because it is ineffective and not because it is torture. We also, in focusing on the failure of CIA torture in getting results, give an easy pass to the recent historical context that birthed the interrogation program. The widespread use of torture was a vile consequence; the problem was a paranoid national security ideology that would, did, and does justify any violation of rights and liberties under the pretext of fighting terror. To hold itself accountable in any honest way, which it will not, the US must admit that it was wrong because it perpetrated crimes. But beyond that, the country must face the fact that after 9/11, it would have done anything — torture, and much more.
President Barack Obama ignored this true American sickness, not yet cured, when he said this week that the torture programs were the result of a panicked country acting "rashly." "In the aftermath of 9/11, in the midst of a national trauma and uncertainty about whether these attacks were going to repeat themselves… what's clear is that the CIA set up something very fast without a lot of forethought," he said.
This is not at all the case. "Rashly" I have spent too much money on a coat. "Rashly" I have not, and no one has ever, constructed an international and covert system of state-sanctioned torture with a $300 million budget. That takes machination and ideology, and, contra Obama's suggestion, "forethought."
Torture was no mistake. It was the logical conclusion to an anything-goes premise. Obama's feigned attempt at accountability treats CIA torture like a blip and lets the same no-holds-barred national security apparatus kill civilians with drones and spy on everyone. This dark chapter of history did not close with the black sites. The corridors of Langley, the halls of Capitol Hill, and the West Wing of the White House remain lousy with the sorts of people who would permit and commit the tortures again, 10 times over.
Brennan: Return of Torture Tactics Up to ‘Future Policymakers’
CIA Director John Brennan gave no ground to his critics during a press conference on Thursday, singing his agency’s praises and saying it “did a lot of things right” in its interrogation program. ...
Brennan’s dismissive response to the report was manifest in his refusal to even use the word “torture,” instead referring multiple times to the Bush-administration euphemism of choice: “enhanced interrogation techniques,” or EITs.
Brennan also left open the possibility that some of the torture tactics currently prohibited by President Obama could return in the future. Some torture critics have said that could happen, because the people responsible for torture have never been held accountable and remain unbowed.
“We are not contemplating at all getting back into the interrogation program,” Brennan said.
As for the future, he said, “I defer to future policymakers.”
The Torturers: Donald Rumsfeld, President George W. Bush, Dick Cheney
Michael Hayden defends CIA’s use of rectal rehydration
Former CIA director Michael Hayden on Thursday defended the agency’s use of rectal rehydration, calling it a “medical procedure.”
The back and forth with CNN’s Jake Tapper was in reference to the Senate’s report released this week that describes interrogation techniques the CIA employed in the years after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.
When Tapper began talking about specific torture methods and mentioned the use of rectal rehydration, Hayden interrupted the host, saying, “Stop, that was a medical procedure that was done because of detainee health.” ...
Hayden repeatedly stood by his assertion that rectal rehydration was “not a method of interrogation.”
“I don’t even know what to say,” Tapper said, adding, “I’m just dumbfounded.”

Despite denials, Senate torture report says waterboarding more widespread than CIA claims
LANGLEY, Va. — CIA Director John Brennan on Thursday stood by his agency’s claim that interrogators used waterboarding only on three high-profile detainees. ...
The Senate report describes a “water dousing” technique tantamount to waterboarding allegedly being used in Afghanistan on at least five other CIA detainees, identified as Mustafa al Hawsawi, Abu Hazim, Mohammad Shoroeiya, Abu Hudhaifa and Majid Khan.
“Interrogators used the water dousing technique in various ways,” the report reads. “At detention site Cobalt (in Afghanistan), detainees were often held down, naked, on a tarp on the floor, with the tarp pulled up around them to form a makeshift tub, while cold or refrigerated water was poured on them. Others were hosed down repeatedly while they were shackled naked, in the standing sleep deprivation position.”
The report said that some detainees, including Hawsawi, were apparently doused while restrained on the ground or strapped to a waterboard, a device on which detainees were shackled at an incline with their mouths and noses covered by a cloth. Interrogators poured water over them to force a gag reflex and simulate drowning.
Hawsawi later described such sessions to another CIA interrogator, who wrote an email that what Hawsawi had experienced in April 2003 “could be indistinguishable from the waterboard.”
“If one is held down on his back, on the table or on the floor, with water poured in his face I think it goes beyond dousing and the effect, to the recipient, could be indistinguishable from the water board,” wrote the interrogator, whose name was redacted from the report. “I have real problems with putting one of them on the water board for ‘dousing.’ Putting him in a head down attitude and pouring water around his chest and face is just too close to the water board.”
Following other abusive techniques, Hawsawi was diagnosed with chronic hemorrhoids, an anal fissure, and symptomatic rectal prolapse, according to the Senate report.
Levin releases new information from CIA cable debunking Atta Prague meeting
Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, today plans to introduce into the Congressional Record important new information about how Bush administration officials misled the nation in advance of the Iraq War, and called on CIA Director John Brennan to fully declassify an important 2003 CIA cable.
Levin will introduce a letter he received from CIA Director John Brennan, declassifying for the first time some details of a March 2003 CIA cable warning the Bush administration against references to the allegation that Mohammad Atta, the leader of the 9/11 hijackers, had met before the attacks in Prague, Czech Republic, with an Iraqi intelligence officer. He also introduced a translated excerpt from a book by the former head of Czech counterintelligence, describing U.S. pressure to confirm that the meeting took place. In fact, no such meeting occurred. And he called on Brennan to fully declassify the CIA cable.
[excerpt from] Levin’s Senate floor speech on the matter, as prepared for delivery:
On March 6, 2003, just two weeks before U.S. troops would cross the Iraqi border, President Bush held a prime-time televised press conference. In that press conference he mentioned the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks eight times, often in the same breath as Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein. There was a concerted campaign on the part of the Bush administration to connect Iraq in the public mind with the horror of the Sept. 11 attacks. That campaign succeeded. According to public polls in the week before the Iraq war, half or more of Americans believed Saddam was directly involved in the attacks. One poll taken in September 2003, six months after we invaded Iraq, found that nearly 70 percent of Americans believed it likely that Saddam Hussein was personally involved in the Sept. 11 attacks. Americans who believed in a link between Iraq and 9/11 overwhelmingly supported the idea of invading Iraq. Of course, connections between Saddam and 9/11 or al Qaeda were fiction.
America’s intelligence community was pressed to participate in the administration’s media campaign. Just a week after the President’s prime-time press conference, on March 13, 2003, CIA field staff sent a cable to CIA headquarters, responding to a request for information about a report that Mohammad Atta, the leader of the Sept. 11 hijackings, had met in 2001 with an Iraqi intelligence official in the Czech capital of Prague. In stark terms, this CIA cable from the field warned against U.S. government officials citing the report of the alleged Prague meeting.
Yet the notion of such a meeting was a centerpiece of the administration’s campaign to create an impression in the public mind that Saddam was in league with the al Qaeda terrorists who attacked us on 9/11. On multiple occasions, including national television appearances, Vice President Dick Cheney cited reports of the meeting, at one point calling it “pretty well confirmed.” Officials from Donald Rumsfeld’s Pentagon, who set up a sort of rogue intelligence analysis operation, briefed senior officials with a presentation citing the Prague meeting as a “known contact” between Iraq and al Qaida.
Now, why am I bringing up a CIA cable from more than a decade ago? Isn’t this old, well-covered terrain? No, it isn’t. This is about giving the American people a full account of the march to war as new information becomes available. It is about trying to hold leaders who misled the public accountable. It is about warning future leaders of this nation that they must not commit our sons and daughters to battle on the basis of false statements.
Not just torture: Senator says CIA stalling over bogus intelligence that led to Iraq war
Carl Levin, D-Mich., who’s ending 36 years in the Senate, plans to press Brennan one last time to fulfill a pledge to support the full declassification of a CIA cable debunking the claim that the leader of the 9/11 hijackers met with an Iraqi intelligence officer in the Czech capital of Prague just months before the attacks. ...
Levin ... pointed out that the former chief of the Czech counterintelligence service, who was in the post at the time of the alleged meeting, published a memoir this year in which he asserted that the CIA pressured him to confirm the encounter and that U.S. officials pressured the Czech government when he couldn’t do so.
“Without any regard to us, they used our intelligence information for propaganda press leaks. They wanted to mine certainty from unconfirmed suspicion and use it as an excuse for military action,” wrote Jiri Ruzek. “We were to play the role of useful idiot.”

After U.S. torture report, Poland asks what its leaders knew
The disclosure of details about the CIA's brutal interrogation program could provide new leads for Polish prosecutors investigating how much Poland's leaders at the time knew about a secret jail the agency was running in a Polish forest.
Prompted by a U.S. Senate report on the CIA's "black sites" for interrogating al Qaeda suspects, former Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski, at a joint news conference with former Prime Minister Leszek Miller, said on Wednesday he knew about the facility in Poland.
He said the CIA had denied Polish officials access to the site, a villa on the grounds of a Polish intelligence training academy, so they did not know people inside were being tortured. He said that while he and Miller knew people were detained there, they were told the detainees were cooperating willingly with U.S. intelligence and would be treated as prisoners of war.
Lawyers for former detainees say however that even if the detainees were treated as prisoners of war - which the lawyers dispute - it is illegal to detain anyone in secret, and Poland had a legal obligation to prevent this happening.
Jordan Has Started Deporting Medical Workers and Wounded Syrian Refugees
After accepting more than 600,000 Syrian refugees, Jordan has begun tightening its borders, deporting still-rehabilitating patients and closing informal medical facilities, according to human rights officials. ...
"We've seen a change in Jordan's policy towards refugees, there's been a kind of securitization of the process," Adam Coogle, a HRW researcher based in Amman, told VICE News. "The security elements are overemphasized versus providing humanitarian access." ...
On September 16, Jordan expelled 12 Syrians who were patients at an unlicensed camp where they had been rehabilitating. Though the Jordanian government does, along with non-governmental organizations, offer treatment for the severely wounded, Syrians have few options for long-term care.
As of December 8, some 3,204,000 Syrians have registered as refugees with the UN and regional governments. Turkey hosts the most — more than 1,165,000 — while Lebanon has taken in 1,145,000 and Jordan 620,000. Their presence has taxed local governments and created tensions in local communities. In Jordan, Syrians now make up around 10 percent of the country's population, equivalent to over 30 million new arrivals in the United States. ...
Earlier in December, the UN was forced to temporarily freeze its food voucher program for 1.7 million refugees — a vital lifeline for Syrians in Jordan, where they are not allowed work permits and cannot enter the formal economy. While the UN has since resumed issuing vouchers, the lot of Syrians, effectively permanent residents in Jordan, is dire.
U.S. Scuttled Negotiations to Free American Killed in Yemen
SANAA, YEMEN — The abduction of American photojournalist Luke Somers in Yemen’s capital in late September 2013 happened in an unlikely place. The British-born U.S. national had just exited Sanaa’s Al Huda Supermarket, a popular Western-style shopping center, when armed men wrestled him from the crowded sidewalk into an idling getaway car. ...
[U]nlike the Islamic State, which in recent months has paraded a series of orange-clad foreign hostages in front of the camera just prior to executing them, AQAP had never killed any of its foreign captives. At least until 33-year-old Somers and a South African hostage, Pierre Korkie, were killed during a Dec. 6 twilight raid by U.S. commandos on an AQAP stronghold. ...
In a statement after the failed Dec. 6 operation to free the hostages, President Barack Obama said he had authorized the rescue mission because Somers’ life was in “imminent danger.”
But according to several sources in Yemen, Somers was not in immediate danger prior to the first raid launched to free him last month. Two of those sources also claim that the United States thwarted attempts by a meditator to negotiate his release by paying a ransom.

Obama to Sign Bill Imposing Sanctions on Venezuelan Officials Over Human Rights Violations
The US Congress unanimously passed a bill on Wednesday that would sanction Venezuelan government officials for human rights violations committed against anti-government protesters this year. White House spokesperson Josh Earnest confirmed on Thursday that President Barack Obama plans to sign the bill into law, but did not specify when that would happen.
Venezuela saw a wave of violent protests between February and May against the government of Nicolas Maduro, who succeeded the late Venezuelan leader Hugo Chavez as president in March 2013. Thousands were jailed, hundreds were left injured, and at least 43 people died during the unrest.
The pending US sanctions include freezing Venezuelan officials' US assets, and denying and restricting visas for an unspecified list of Venezuelan officials. President Obama would reserve the right to waive travel restrictions if he considers it to be in the best interest of the country.
Court rejects attempt to allow Edward Snowden into Germany
Attempts by opposition parties in Germany to bring Edward Snowden to Berlin to give evidence about the NSA’s operations have been thwarted by the country’s highest court.
The Green and Left parties wanted the whistleblower to give evidence in person to a parliamentary committee investigating espionage by the US agency, but Germany’s constitutional court ruled against them on Friday.
The government has argued that Snowden’s presence in Germany could impair relations with the US and put it under pressure to extradite him. ...
Opposition MPs have been vocal about their wish for Snowden to be granted asylum in Germany, where anger towards the NSA and sympathy for the whistleblower has been particularly high.
If Snowden were to be allowed to enter Germany, the clamour for him to be able to stay would be strong and resistance from the government would be likely to be met with civil unrest.
Will James Risen be Forced to Testify? DOJ Given Deadline in Critical Press Freedom Case
Obama administration has until Tuesday, December 16 to say whether it will force James Risen to testify at whistleblower trial
The Obama administration has less than one week to decide whether it intends to force New York Times reporter James Risen to testify at the trial of a CIA whistleblower, after a federal judge ordered on Tuesday that the U.S. "commit to a position" by 10 a.m. on December 16.
"Since June 2, 2014, the United States has had over six months to decide whether it will subpoena James Risen to testify at this trial, which is scheduled to begin Monday, January 12, 2015," the order reads (pdf). "Because Mr. Risen's presence or absence at the trial will have a significant impact on how the parties present their case, a decision about Mr. Risen must be made sufficiently before trial to enable the parties to prepare adequately."
The Times said U.S. District Court Judge Leonie Brinkema's order, issued "with seeming impatience," brings to a head "the most serious confrontation between the government and the news media in many years."

Demonstrators File Suit Challenging Police Overreach, Ask Court to Order Police to Stop Misuse of Tear Gas
St. Louis, MO — Citing numerous instances of police abuse and overreach against demonstrators who took to public streets and sidewalks to demand justice in the police shooting death of unarmed African American teen Michael Brown and an end to racialized policing, civil rights lawyers filed suit in federal court last night asking a judge to order police to halt the most egregious tactics.
“Police acting under authority of Unified Command have engaged in excessive force, and used tear gas and other chemical agents against demonstrators in a manner designed to inflict pain and anguish rather than accomplishing any legitimate law enforcement objective,” said Thomas Harvey, executive director of Arch City Defenders, an organization that has been providing criminal defense to some of the arrested demonstrators.
The suit, which seeks a court order barring police from using excessive force and chemical agents to curtail demonstrators’ First and Fourth Amendment rights, alleges that demonstrators are being targeted for punishment, and force used on them in ways that they can’t escape.
Federal Budget Guts Most Significant Financial Regulation Since 2008
White House and GOP scramble to pass budget after revolt by Democrats
Republicans formed an unlikely alliance with the White House in a late-night scramble to pass a $1.1tn federal budget over the objections of House Democrats, who claim it has been hijacked by Wall Street lobbyists and campaign finance interests.
In dramatic scenes that mirrored the lead-up to the government shutdown of October 2013, White House chief of staff Denis McDonough spent three hours locked in talks with the House Democratic caucus on Thursday night trying to persuade its members to drop their opposition to the so-called “cromnibus” and pleading with them that it was the best deal available.
Eventually, with less than three hours to go until another government shutdown, House speaker John Boehner decide to gamble on receiving sufficient support from Democrats to overcome a rebellion on the right of his own party and called a final vote.
“Thank you and Merry Christmas,” said Boehner as he secured 219 votes, one more than he needed to guarantee passage and including support from 57 Democrats. The 206 no votes were bolstered by 67 Republicans, more than expected, who are angry that their party is not using the budget to challenge president Obama more aggressively on immigration reform.
U.S. lobbyists predict more Dodd-Frank changes, not overhaul, in 2015
U.S. financial industry victories this week walking back post-crisis reforms will embolden Republicans in 2015 to push for more changes, but lobbyists say they are not holding out hope for a substantial rollback of the 2010 Dodd-Frank reform law.
Republicans in the U.S. House of Representatives included revisions to Dodd-Frank in a $1.1 trillion federal government spending package and legislation extending a popular terrorism insurance program.
Democrats passionately warned that these moves set a dangerous precedent, especially with Republicans poised to take control of the Senate in January.
But bank lobbyists say a substantial Dodd-Frank rollback remains unlikely because Republicans will have a slim lead next year in the U.S. Senate, and they face a Democratic president who sees the law as a key accomplishment.
Buried Within Omnibus Bill, a 'Long-Term Blank Check for War Spending
Analysts warn that "emergency" war spending fund, which was supposed to be temporary, has become permanent fixture that inflates Pentagon's budget
The government funding bill that narrowly passed the House of Representatives on Thursday has been widely criticized, including from within Congress, as a give-away to Wall Street. However, its 1,600 pages raise numerous other red flags for activists and analysts, including a bloated military budget and what journalist Julia Harte calls "a long-term blank check for 'war' spending."
The bill approves $554 billion overall in Pentagon spending—in keeping with the trajectory of a country that spends more on the military than the next 11 countries combined. ...
Buried within the budget is $64 billion in military funding from what is called the Overseas Contingency Operations. Established in 2001 under a different title, the OCO was supposed to be for "temporary" emergencies relating to the U.S. wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. However, it has become a permanent, and seemingly bottomless, source of funding for war. ...
As Harte writes for the Center for Public Integrity, "The OCO budget isn't subject to spending limits that cap the rest of the defense budget for the next seven years; it's often omitted altogether from tallies of how much the military spends each year; and as an 'emergency' fund, it's subject to much less scrutiny than other military spending requests."

Ilargi: Will the Oil Collapse Kill Energy Junk Bonds?
If prices fall any further (and what’s going to stop them?), it would seem that most of the entire shale edifice must of necessity crumble to the ground. And that will cause an absolute earthquake in the financial world, because someone supplied the loans the whole thing leans on. An enormous amount of investors have been chasing high yield, including many institutional investors, and they’re about to get burned something bad.
What it amounts to is that the falling oil price will chase a lot of zombie money out of the markets, the stuff created through a combination of QE-related ultra low interest rates and money printing, plus the demise of accounting standards that allowed companies to abandon mark-to-market practices. This has led to the record stock market valuation that we see today, and that could vanish in the wink of an eye once even just one asset, one commodity, starts being marked to market in defiance of the distortion official policies have imposed upon the global marketplace.
We might well be looking at the development of a story much bigger than just oil. I said earlier this week that it would be hard to find a way to bail out the US oil industry, but that’s merely one aspect here. Because if oil keeps going the way it has lately, the Fed may instead have to think about bailing out the big Wall Street banks once again.

Activists: Climate Talks Have Done Nothing to Avert Catastrophe, But Hope Lies in People’s Action
Kerry Offers 'Fancy Words,' But US Inaction Blasted as Lima Talks Limp To End
As the U.N. Conference of the Parties (COP20) talks enter their last scheduled day in Lima, Peru on Friday, remarks delivered by U.S. Secretary of State late Thursday to climate negotiators from around the world, though welcomed by some, seemed to do very little in terms of moving the talks closer to the kind of agreement experts say are necessary to adequately tackle the crisis of human-caused global warming. ...
According to Karen Orenstein, senior climate analyst with Friends of the Earth US, the gap between Kerry's rhetoric and U.S. commitments is more like a chasm.
"It is past time to put words into action," Orenstein said. "The emissions cuts the US has put forward put us on a path for a global temperature increase well beyond the already dangerous 2C level. Secretary Kerry said, ‘If you’re a big developed nation and you are not helping to lead, then you’re part of the problem.’ Regrettably, the US is a tremendous part of the problem, and as the hundreds of thousands of people on the streets of Lima and New York have demanded, this must change immediately." ...
In a policy paper released at the talks, Greenpeace argues that the U.S. approach to its own commitments and negotiating stance are in direct contrast with Kerry's stated desire to forge a strong agreement. The Obama administration has argued that making carbon emission reduction targets and other climate mitigation commitments legally binding is not necessary, but Greenpeace is among those who strongly disagree. Without "binding" targets and enforcement mechanisms, goes the argument, the necessary reductions will simply not be made in time.

It’s time to #StopFundingFossils!
The UNFCCC climate talks are nearing the final hours in Lima, Peru and one of the major sticking points is climate finance. ...
Turns out rich countries are spending nearly 3 times as much to support the exploration for new fossil fuel reserves, with combined support for such activities at $26.6 billion annually. ...
Public support for fossil fuels not only goes against basic climate science, it is a waste of public money that could go towards the critical task of helping all of us climb out of our climate hole. It’s far past time countries stopped funding fossils. An obvious starting point would be to stop making our climate hole bigger by financing exploration for new fossil fuels.

Everything Is Connected
Studies in the 1970s proposed that the great reduction in the large whales of the southern oceans would lead to an increase in the population of krill, their major prey. It never materialised. Instead there has been a long-term decline. How could that be true? It now turns out that whales maintain the populations of their prey.
They often feed at depth, but they seldom defecate there, because when they dive the stress this exerts on the body requires the shutdown of some of its functions. So they perform their ablutions when they come up to breathe. What they are doing, in other words, is transporting nutrients from the depths, including waters too dark for photosynthesis to occur, into the photic zone, where plants can live. ...
[R]esearch, in the Gulf of Maine, estimates that whales and seals, by defecating at the surface and recycling nutrients there, would, before their numbers were reduced by hunting, have been responsible for releasing three times as much nitrogen into those waters as the sea absorbed directly from the atmosphere. The volume of plant plankton has declined across much of the world over the past century, probably as a result of rising global temperatures. But the decline appears to have been been steepest where whales and seals have been most heavily hunted. The fishermen who have insisted that predators such as seals should be killed might have been reducing, not enhancing, their catch.
But it doesn’t end there. Plant plankton, when they die, slowly descend into the abyss, taking with them the carbon they have absorbed from the atmosphere. It is hard to quantify, but when they were at their historical populations, whales are likely to have made a small but significant contribution to the removal of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
