"Our national honor is stained by the indignity and inhumane treatment these men received from their captors... After years of disclosures by government investigations, media accounts, and reports from human rights organizations, there is no longer any doubt as to whether the current administration has committed war crimes. The only question that remains to be answered is whether those who ordered the use of torture will be held to account."
-- Major General Antonio M. Taguba

The VICE News Interview: John Kiriakou
In 2007, John Kiriakou became the first Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) official to publicly confirm that agency interrogators waterboarded a high-value detainee, terrorism suspect Abu Zubaydah — a revelation that had previously been a closely guarded secret. ...
VICE News caught up with Kiriakou for a wide-ranging interview just a few days after he was released from prison. He detailed how his CIA training became a technique for survival behind bars, and how the government turned him into a "dissident."
French court summons ex-Guantanamo chief in torture probe
PARIS: A French court Thursday summoned former Guantanamo prison chief Geoffrey Miller over accusations of torture by two ex-detainees, in a move their lawyer said would open the door to further prosecutions.
Nizar Sassi and Mourad Benchellali, both French citizens, were arrested by U.S. forces in Afghanistan before being transferred to the notorious prison set up in Guantanamo Bay to hold terror suspects after the 9/11 attacks. ...
"The door has opened for civilian and military officials to be prosecuted over international crimes committed in Guantanamo," their lawyer William Bourdon said.
"This decision can only ... lead to other leaders being summoned." ...
In an expert report submitted to a French judge last year, lawyers for Sassi and Benchellali accused Miller of "an authorized and systematic plan of torture and ill-treatment on persons deprived of their freedom without any charge and without the basic rights of any detainee."
Miller, who was commander of the prison from 2002 to 2004 and is now retired, "bears individual criminal responsibility for the war crimes and acts of torture inflicted on detainees in U.S. custody at Guantanamo," according to the report.
'Dear Humanity, We Have a Systems Problem': New Project Aims to Promote Deep Solutions, Radical Transformation
"It's time to talk about what's next."
Those are the words of academic and author Gar Alperovitz, founder of the Democracy Collaborative, who—alongside veteran environmentalist Gus Speth—this week launched a new initiative called the "Next Systems Project" which seeks to address the interrelated threats of financial inequality, planetary climate disruption, and money-saturated democracies by advocating for deep, heretofore radical transformations of the current systems that govern the world's economies, energy systems, and political institutions. ...
"By defining issues systemically," the project organizers explain, "we believe we can begin to move the political conversation beyond current limits with the aim of catalyzing a substantive debate about the need for a radically different system and how we might go about its construction. Despite the scale of the difficulties, a cautious and paradoxical optimism is warranted. There are real alternatives. Arising from the unforgiving logic of dead ends, the steadily building array of promising new proposals and alternative institutions and experiments, together with an explosion of ideas and new activism, offer a powerful basis for hope."
The mission statement of the project—articulated in a short document titled It's Time to Face the Depth of the Systemic Crisis We Confront (pdf)—has been endorsed by an impressive list of more than 350 contemporary journalists, activists, academics, and thought leaders from various disciplines who all agree the current political and economic system is serving the interests of "corporate profits, the growth of GDP, and the projection of national power" while ignoring the needs and wellbeing of people, communities, ecosystems and the planet as a whole. ...
Next month, as part of the project's public engagement strategy, key members and supporters—including Alperovitz and Speth—will participate in an online webinar in order to expand the conversation about these ideas with people across the country.
Angry Republicans condemn 'alarming' nuclear deal with Iran
Republican leaders and presidential contenders reacted to what Barack Obama called a “historic agreement” with Iran over its nuclear program by alternately denouncing the deal and jostling to have a say in it.
John Boehner, the House speaker, called the deal “an alarming departure from the White House’s initial goals” and insisted that Congress “be allowed to fully review the details of any agreement before any sanctions are lifted”. ...
Senator Bob Corker, the chairman of the foreign relations committee, said he would press forward on a bill that would give Congress power to alter the deal. ...
Corker’s committee will prepare the bill for a vote on 14 April, giving Congress ample time to pass it before the 30 June deadline for a final deal with Iran. Obama has threatened to veto such legislation should it reach his desk.
Former Iranian Ambassador: Historic Nuclear Dear has Prevented a New War in the Middle East
Israeli Officials ‘Furious’ Over Iran Nuclear Deal
It’s unsurprising given the decades of hostility they’ve shown toward diplomacy in general, but Israeli officials are reacting with outrage at the announcement of a framework deal between Iran and the international community. ...
Netanyahu and other officialsare insisting the deal guarantees Iran will acquire nuclear weapons within the next year, though of course they have been predicting Iran would do so virtually non-stop since the Iranian revolution.
Israel will not accept Iran nuclear deal, says Binyamin Netanyahu
Israeli PM demands that Iran recognises Israel’s right to exist as a precondition to any final agreement
Israel’s prime minister, Binyamin Netanyahu, emerged from a meeting with his ministers and security officials on Friday to declare that Israel would not accept a deal between world powers and Iran “which allows a country that vows to annihilate us to develop nuclear weapons”.
Declaring his cabinet united in opposition to the draft framework hammered out in Lausanne to limit the scope of Iran’s nuclear programme, Netanyahu demanded that Iran recognises Israel’s right to exist as a precondition to any final agreement.
But with Israel not a party to the talks, and its objections largely marginalised, it was unclear what, if any, pressure Israel can bring to bear on a deal that international negotiators have cautiously hailed as a breakthrough. ...
While Israeli rhetoric threatening military action has died down over the past year or so, the head of Israel’s military planning directorate, Maj Gen Nimrod Sheffer, has also warned that it is still a possibility.
“The military option has always been on the table, as we have said all along,” Sheffer told the Israel Hayom newspaper on Friday. “If it has not been mentioned much in the media recently, that does not reflect a change in policy.”
Republicans' Israel Problem
Jeb Bush's criticism of James Baker underscores how neocons have hijacked the GOP's Israel policy.
Former Secretary of State James Baker is discovering who really controls the Republican Party. Baker, who has never had much patience with Israel’s settlement policy, appeared on Monday evening before the Washington lobbying organization J Street—which was founded to counter the American Israel Public Affairs Committee—to chide Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for opposing Iran talks and disdaining a two-state solution with the Palestinians. “Frankly, I have been disappointed with the lack of progress regarding a lasting peace—and I have been for some time.” These might seem like fairly tepid criticisms, which is what they are. But now the long-time Bush family counselor is being repudiated by former Florida Governor Jeb Bush who is scurrying to shore up his support among the GOP’s pro-Israel base.
What this kerfuffle really signals is that the GOP is moving toward a position where even the slightest criticism of Israel is taboo. Whether this stance is politically useful is an open question. The GOP is clearly trying to split off American Jewish voters from the Democratic Party, a longtime neoconservative aspiration dating back to the 1980s.
There are lots of interesting details in this article, it's worth a full read.
Ukraine’s Oligarchs Turn on Each Other
In the never-never land of how the mainstream U.S. press covers the Ukraine crisis, the appointment last year of thuggish oligarch Igor Kolomoisky to govern one of the country’s eastern provinces was pitched as a democratic “reform” because he was supposedly too rich to bribe, without noting that his wealth had come from plundering the country’s economy.
In other words, the new U.S.-backed “democratic” regime, after overthrowing democratically elected President Viktor Yanukovych because he was “corrupt,” was rewarding one of Ukraine’s top thieves by letting him lord over his own province, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, with the help of his personal army. ...
Last Thursday night, Kolomoisky and his armed men went to Kiev after the government tried to wrest control of the state-owned energy company UkrTransNafta from one of his associates. Kolomoisky and his men raided the company offices to seize and apparently destroy records. ... It was a revealing display of how the corrupt Ukrainian political-economic system works and the nature of the “reformers” whom the U.S. State Department has pushed into positions of power. According to BusinessInsider, the Kiev government tried to smooth Kolomoisky’s ruffled feathers by announcing “that the new company chairman [at UkrTransNafta] would not be carrying out any investigations of its finances.” ...
The clash resulted from the parliament’s vote last week to reduce Kolomoisky’s authority to run the company from his position as a minority owner. As part of the shakeup, Kolomoisky’s protégé Oleksandr Lazorko was fired as chairman, but he refused to leave and barricaded himself in his office, setting the stage for Kolomoisky’s arrival with armed men. ...
Kolomoisky also is believed to have purchased influence inside the U.S. government through his behind-the-scenes manipulation of Ukraine’s largest private gas firm, Burisma Holdings. Last year, the shadowy Cyprus-based company appointed Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter Biden, to its board of directors. Burisma also lined up well-connected lobbyists, some with ties to Secretary of State John Kerry, including Kerry’s former Senate chief of staff David Leiter, according to lobbying disclosures.
US Increases Involvement in Saudi War Against Yemen
In a move that Pentagon officials are describing as just a “deepening” of their military involvement in the Saudi attack on Yemen, they have announced military aircraft from Centcom will begin aerial refueling operations for Saudi planes currently bombing the nation.
The announcement couldn’t be worse timed, coming after a three day span during which Saudi planes killed scores of civilians in a pair of attacks on a dairy and a refugee camp in northern Yemen.
Though the US has tried to downplay its involvement in the war, officials confirmed that US surveillance planes have been flying over Yemen and providing the Saudis with intelligence for their airstrikes, which isn’t an appealing role considering how bloody and unpopular those strikes have been.
Civilians pay the price for expanding conflict in Yemen
Violence in Yemen has killed an estimated 519 people the past two weeks, 90 of them children, and tens of thousands are fleeing their homes, the U.N. humanitarian chief said Thursday, signs of the humanitarian damage being wreaked in the Arab world's poorest nation in the rapid escalation of its conflict.
What began as a power grab by Shiite rebels dramatically escalated into a regional conflict after Saudi Arabia and its allies launched an air campaign on March 25 backing beleaguered President Abed Rabbo Mansour Hadi and his loyalists. ...
In battleground areas, hospitals are running out of supplies, water and electricity systems have broken down, and produce and other goods run low as fuel prices mount. ... The U.N. under-secretary general for humanitarian affairs, Valerie Amos, expressed concern Thursday "for the safety of civilians caught in the middle." She said some 519 people have been killed and 1,700 wounded, many of them civilians, in violence the past two weeks. That would appear to include in fighting between the two sides before the air campaign began.
Yemen’s Conflict is Getting So Bad that Some Yemenis Are Fleeing to Somalia
Somalia is not exactly considered a safe haven, but over the last few days, the Horn of Africa country has seen the arrival of the first small exodus of Yemenis who have crossed the Gulf of Aden to escape the worsening fighting in their own country.
Somalia itself remains extremely volatile and ridden by civil conflict — with recurrent attacks and outbursts of violence which, together with extreme poverty, have pushed more than 238,000 Somalis to make the opposite trip and seek safety in Yemen over the years.
Yet the situation in Yemen has become so precarious that Yemeni refugees would rather seek shelter in Somalia than remain caught in the middle of heavy fighting between government forces and Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. For over a week, the Arab country has also pounded by Saudi-led airstrikes.
For the time being, the number of people fleeing Yemen to Somalia is small. Some 32 Yemenis arrived in the port city of Berbera earlier this week, and a second boat carrying 80 more is expected to dock sometime this week. Migration officials have yet to confirm its arrival. Among the first departures, several Somalis have also left Yemen to head back home, according to a taskforce coordinated by the United Nation's agency for refugees (UNHCR)
Al-Qaeda leads mass jailbreak in Yemen
About 300 people appear to have been released in a jailbreak during a major attack on Thursday by Al-Qaeda's Yemen branch, al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP), in the southern port city of Al Mukalla.
Yemeni government sources say about a third of the freed prisoners were AQAP fighters. Among them was Khaled Batarfi, who, per the Wall Street Journal, led AQAP forces in the Yemeni province Abyan before his 2011 arrest.
AQAP targeted several important government buildings in Al Mukalla, but the prison appears to have been the main target.
Pentagon Personnel Now Talking on 'NSA-Proof' Smartphones
The Defense Department has rolled out supersecret smartphones for work and maybe play, made by anti-government-surveillance firm Silent Circle, according to company officials.
Silent Circle, founded by a former Navy Seal and the inventor of privacy-minded PGP encryption, is known for decrying federal efforts to bug smartphones. And for its spy-resistant "blackphone."
Apparently, troops don't like busybodies either. As part of limited trials, U.S. military personnel are using the device, encrypted with secret code down to its hardware, to communicate "for both unclassified and classified" work, Silent Circle Chairman Mike Janke told Nextgov.
In 2012, Janke, who served in the Navy's elite special-operations force, and Phil Zimmermann, creator of Pretty Good Privacy (PGP, for short), started Silent Circle as a California-based secure communications firm. The company is no longer based in the United States, ostensibly to deter U.S. law enforcement from seeking access to user records.
Britain Used Spy Team to Shape Latin American Public Opinion on Falklands
Faced with mounting international pressure over the Falkland Islands territorial dispute, the British government enlisted its spy service, including a highly secretive unit known for using “dirty tricks,” to covertly launch offensive cyberoperations to prevent Argentina from taking the islands. ...
The British government, which has continuously administered the Falkland Islands — also known as the Malvinas — since 1833, has rejected Argentine and international calls to open negotiations on territorial sovereignty. Worried that Argentina, emboldened by international opinion, may attempt to retake the islands diplomatically or militarily, JTRIG and other GCHQ divisions were tasked “to support FCO’s [Foreign and Commonwealth Office’s] goals relating to Argentina and the Falkland Islands.” A subsequent document suggests the main FCO goal was to “[prevent] Argentina from taking over the Falkland Islands” and that new offensive cyberoperations were underway in 2011 to further that end.
Tensions between the two nations, which fought a war over the small archipelago in the South Atlantic Ocean in 1982, reached a boil in 2010 with the British discovery of large, offshore oil and gas reserves potentially worth billions of dollars. ...
GCHQ’s efforts on Argentina and the Falklands between 2008 and 2011, the time period the documents cover, were broad and not limited solely to JTRIG. Surveillance of Argentine “military and Leadership” communications on various platforms was a “high priority” task. Despite the Obama administration’s unwillingness to publicly back their ally, NSA assistance was ongoing as of 2010. According to an NSA “Extended Enterprise Report” dated June 2008, based on NSA officials’ meetings with GCHQ representatives, Argentina was “GCHQ’s primary interest in the region.” ...
While the full extent of JTRIG’s tactics used in the Falklands mission is unclear, the scope of JTRIG’s approved capabilities offers an idea of what may have been done. The group, first revealed last year by NBC News and The Intercept, has developed various techniques — including “false flag” operations, sexual “honey traps,” and implanting computer viruses — to collect intelligence, plant propaganda and diminish or discredit opponents. As reported in The Intercept last year, JTRIG “has developed covert tools to seed the internet with false information, including the ability to manipulate the results of online polls, artificially inflate pageview counts on web sites, ‘amplif[y]’ sanctioned messages on YouTube,” and plant false Facebook wall posts for “entire countries.” According to a study of the group by the U.K.’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory (DSTL), “the language of JTRIG’s operations is characterized by terms such as ‘discredit,’ promote ‘distrust,’ ‘dissuade,’ ‘deceive,’ ‘disrupt,’ ‘delay,’ ‘deny,’ ‘denigrate/degrade,’ and ‘deter.’”
A Greek Default Hanging by a Thread
The powers that be in Europe are unusually silent
Greece says it will make €450m bailout repayment to IMF on time
Senior Greek officials are racing to calm fears that the debt-laden country will fail to make a crucial repayment next week – a move that could push the nation into default and create mayhem in the financial markets.
Ahead of a 9 April deadline to pay €460m to the International Monetary Fund, there are concerns that Greece does not have the cash and risks a rare default on a loan.
But on Friday, the deputy finance minister, Dimitris Mardas, told Greece’s Skai TV that the country was ready to pay. “We strive to be able to pay our obligations on time. We are ready to pay on 9 April,” he said.
His remarks came at the end of a week in which the interior minister, Nikos Voutsis, had raised the prospect of not making the repayment. Voutsis had said the country had the choice of repaying the IMF or paying salaries and pensions – and would choose the latter. Der Spiegel reported another finance official saying Greece was unlikely to pay. The reports sparked immediate denials from the Greek government that such a course of action would be followed.
There is speculation that Greece is considering plans to nationalise its banks and start using a new currency as it continues to negotiates terms for its existing bailout under which it has received no funds since August.
Iceland looks at ending boom and bust with radical money plan
Iceland's government is considering a revolutionary monetary proposal - removing the power of commercial banks to create money and handing it to the central bank. ...
According to a study by four central bankers, the country has had "over 20 instances of financial crises of different types" since 1875, with "six serious multiple financial crisis episodes occurring every 15 years on average".
Mr Sigurjonsson said the problem each time arose from ballooning credit during a strong economic cycle.
He argued the central bank was unable to contain the credit boom, allowing inflation to rise and sparking exaggerated risk-taking and speculation, the threat of bank collapse and costly state interventions.
In Iceland, as in other modern market economies, the central bank controls the creation of banknotes and coins but not the creation of all money, which occurs as soon as a commercial bank offers a line of credit.
The central bank can only try to influence the money supply with its monetary policy tools.
Under the so-called Sovereign Money proposal, the country's central bank would become the only creator of money.
George Takei: LGBT Protections Still Needed Despite Amended Indiana, Arkansas Religious Freedom Laws
Arkansas and Indiana approve redrafted religious freedom bills after backlash
The governors of Arkansas and Indiana have signed into law hastily passed revisions to two bills that purported to protect the religious freedoms of business owners but were heavily criticized as anti-gay.
The Arkansas governor, Asa Hutchinson, signed Senate Bill 975 on Thursday afternoon, after it passed the house of representatives in a 76-17 vote. Hours later, Indiana’s Governor Mike Pence followed suit, signing an amended bill written by the legislature, which worked closely with business leaders to craft its language.
Both states have been the subject of intense criticism this week, as “religious freedom” bills easily passed and were sent to Hutchinson and Pence. In Indiana, when Pence signed the Religious Freedom Restoration Act into law last week, the backlash was swift and fierce, making the state a subject of international criticism. The Arkansas bill passed the legislature on Tuesday, but Hutchinson ordered changes before he would sign it, amid the backlash in Indiana.

Christie Signs Bill Privatizing New Jersey's Water Supply
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie signed into law on Thursday legislation that critics say sells out the state's water supply and democratic process for private profits.
The Water Infrastructure Protection Act, which purportedly aims to address aging infrastructure , allows for fast-tracking of sales of municipal water systems to private entities.
Among the sponsors of the measure, which passed the state legislature in December, was Senator Joe Kyrillos (R-Monmouth), who stated Thursday: "We recognize that there are times when private entities might be most capable of operating, maintaining and upgrading drinking water and sanitary wastewater systems,” and keeps "the public’s ability to be part of the process."
Quite the opposite, according to the law's critics.
"Governor Christie has sided with private water companies over our water supply," stated Jeff Tittel, Director of the New Jersey Sierra Club. "This law will raise rates, hurt consumers and businesses."

The Georgia Legislature Just Pulled the Plug on Electric Cars
For once, Georgia ranks among the top states in America for something other than poverty, corruption, or miserable traffic.
Don't worry, they're fixing that.
A generous state tax break has helped make Georgia the number two state for electric vehicles, and made Atlanta the top market for the compact Nissan Leaf. Both the Leaf and the higher-end Tesla sedans are now common sights in and around metro Atlanta, where more than 10,500 are registered.
But this year, Georgia lawmakers needed to raise nearly $1 billion to patch up crumbling roads, highways, and bridges. So they are pulling the plug on that $5,000 tax credit — a move budget analysts say will contribute $66 million to the state's coffers in 2016 and nearly $190 million by 2020.
But it gets worse for electric vehicle (EV) boosters. Legislators are adding a $200-a-year annual fee for owners to offset the loss of gasoline taxes that drivers would otherwise pay to maintain roads.
Big oil is pressuring scientists not to link fracking to earthquakes in Oklahoma
The close ties between university officials and big oil companies is a conflict of interest that is hampering research that the industry sees as unfavorable
Many Oklahomans can still vividly recall the day they experienced their first earthquake. Ever since 2009/2010, earthquakes in the state have increased exponentially– leading to what are called “seismic swarms”. In 2000 there was not a single earthquake, but in 2014 we experienced 585 quakes of magnitude three or larger.
For some time now, scientists have wondered whether fracking-related activities, such as wastewater injection, might be the source of increased seismic activity in Oklahoma. In May of last year, the Oklahoma Geological Survey, an affiliate entity of the University of Oklahoma, released a statement in conjunction with the United States Geological Survey, saying that wastewater injection was a “likely contributing factor the increase in earthquakes”.
Not long after this statement, David Boren, president of the university, summoned the Oklahoma Geological Survey’s lead seismologist Austin Holland, who was also one of the authors of the statement, to a meeting with Harold Hamm, CEO of Continental Resources, one of Oklahoma’s largest oil and gas exploration and production companies. Boren facilitated the meeting despite the fact that he also serves as a member of the Continental Resources board of directors. ...
One can only imagine the pressure this meeting must have brought upon Holland and his team of scientists. ...
Conflicts of interest cannot go unchallenged in academia. It is in the interest of the public that the Oklahoma Geological Survey be removed from the university’s governance structure or – more importantly – that high level university officials forgo taking positions outside the university.
Mandatory Water Restrictions in California Fail to Address Abuse of Resources
As EPA Restricts Some Pesticide Use, Defenders of Bees Call for More Action
The Environmental Protection Agency on Thursday announced restrictions on new or expanded uses of harmful neonicotinoid pesticides that may pose risks to honey bees and other pollinators, but environmental groups say the moratorium—while welcome—does not go far enough.
A day after Portland, Oregon's city commission suspended the use of pesticides on its property to protect honey bees, the EPA told companies using neonicotinoids that the agency will halt granting permits for those pesticides until it can assess the threats they pose to pollinators. The widespread use of certain herbicides and pesticides has come under increased scrutiny in recent years after a noted decline in bee populations, which play a crucial part in food production.
But a number of national and state-based environmental groups have called on the EPA to expand its protection of pollinators to include a ban on products already on the market.
"It’s welcome news that EPA is finally beginning to address the threat that neonics pose to the nation’s bees and other pollinators, but given the threats to the nation’s food and farming system, more is needed," Kristin Schafer, policy director at Pesticide Action Network North America, said in a press release. "Numerous bee-harming neonics and their cousin products are already on the market, and seed coatings in particular have led to a dramatic surge in use over the last few years. EPA should go further to place a moratorium on existing products." ...
Without extending its regulations to include neonicotinoids already being sold, the EPA is undermining its own efforts to protect pollinators, activists say.
