		<title>Dennis Kucinich And The Media</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The major corporate news outlets, and all the smaller outlets that follow their lead, and all the partisan outlets that obey the White House, have created a false story that was clearly turning Kucinich's own constituents against him. According to this story, of the dozens of Democrats and over a hundred Republicans not committed to voting for the insurance corporation bailout bill, only Kucinich's vote mattered, so the blame would go to him if it failed, just as Ralph Nader alone was blamed for Al Gore losing the election that Gore won in Florida in 2000.]]></description>

		<title>Republican Witch-Hunters Embrace Dictatorship</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Are there no depths to which the Republican Party will not sink in its unprincipled assaults on President Obama’s counter-terrorism policies? The latest unconstitutional monstrosity from the right’s lunatic fringe came courtesy of Keep America Safe, a toxic organization headed by Liz Cheney, the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, who recently put out a disgraceful TV ad, “Who Are the Al-Qaeda Seven?” ]]></description>

		<title>Lehman Brothers Autopsy: Repo 105, and Why Auditors Have Some Explaining to Do</title>
		<description><![CDATA[“Secretary Geithner ‘did not recall being aware of’ Lehman’s Repo 105 program, but stated: ‘If this had been a bank we were supervising, that [i.e., Lehman’s Repo 105 program] would have been a huge issue for the New York Fed.’” (from Zero Hedge)]]></description>

		<title>DA Refuses to Prosecute Animal Cruelty Case</title>
		<description><![CDATA[A Pennsylvania district attorney took campaign funds from an organization which promotes killing live pigeons in contests, and then refused to allow the prosecution of animal cruelty charges against a gun club that hosts pigeon shooting contests. DA John T. Adams of Berks County accepted $500 campaign contributions from the Flyers Victory Fund in August 2008 and August 2009, according to campaign finance reports issued by both the Pennsylvania Department of State and the Berks County Registrar of Voters.]]></description>

		<title>UK/US Asylum Seekers Find Death, Abuse, and Criminal Indifference</title>
		<description><![CDATA[An article in the March 14 UK Observer reports that United Kingdom's asylum immigration system is systematically denying claims of torture by asylum applicants, despite ample medical evidence by applicants of torture in their home countries. Since 2001, many asylum applicants have been sent to prison, with murderers and rapists, despite the fact they have never broken any law, making Britain the only European Union country to have such a practice.]]></description>

		<title>Chief Information Officers&#8217; Council Earns Award For Worst Open Government Performance</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The Rosemary Award for worst open government performance, named after President Nixon’s secretary who erased 18 ½ minutes of a crucial Watergate tape, this year goes to the Federal Chief Information Officers Council, the senior federal officials (responsible for $71 billion a year of IT purchases) who have never addressed the failure of the government to save its e-mail electronically, according to the citation Friday by the National Security Archive. ]]></description>

		<title>This Time It’s Pregnant Women: Another Atrocity In The Bush/Obama Afghanistan War</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Another night-time raid on a housing compound in Afghanistan. Another bunch of innocent Afghans killed. Another round of lies by the US-led forces of the so-called International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). Only this time, among the dead are two pregnant mothers and a teenage girl. And once again the US media remain mute, accepting the official story, which was of ISAF forces responding to an attack which in reality appears never to have happened.]]></description>

		<title>House Passes Bill Banning Deceptive ‘Census’ Mailings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Last month when we first wrote about the faux "Census" mailers from the Republican National Committee, we reported that though deceptive, the mailings were likely legal. That could change soon. On Wednesday, the House of Representatives unanimously passed legislation that specifically bans misleading mailings that are designed to look like they're from the Census Bureau. The new bill requires that any mailing marked "census" include the sender's name and address, plus a disclaimer that the survey is "not affiliated with the federal government," reports the Associated Press.]]></description>

		<title>Virginia Man Tried To Steal 10 Million Gallons of Fuel From US Army In Iraq</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Michel Jamil, 60, was sentenced today to 40 months in prison for his participation in a scheme to steal approximately 10 million gallons of fuel from the U.S. Army in Iraq, announced Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division Lanny A. Breuer and U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Neil H. MacBride. In his guilty plea, Jamil admitted that in March 2007, he and two of his co-conspirators arranged for the creation of a false memorandum for record (MFR) authorizing individuals, purportedly on behalf of a company serving as a contractor to the U.S. government, to draw fuel from the Victory Bulk Fuel Point (VBFP), Camp Liberty, Iraq, which was owned and operated by the United States.]]></description>
