June 23, 2009 by tokyoprogressive Leave a Comment

As news comes in with various takes on the legitimacy of the presidential vote in Iran, not much is cleaer except one thing: the hypocrisy of western news media and government offcials who downplay, ignore or criminalize dissent in their own, supposedly democratic country but are its most vociferous defenders when the perpertrators are the so-called "rogue states". Here are … [Read more...] about Recent Israel, Iran, Iraq, Wall Street, and more: from Information Clearing House, ZNET, and other sources

Criminal acts by police go unpunished; Ishihara promotes corporal punishment

June 21, 2009 by tokyoprogressive Leave a Comment

This letter was not published by the Japan Times, so I am uploading it here.While it is heartening to read that DNA evidence finally resulted in an exoneration for Toshikazu Sugaya, it is an outrage that a man presumably forced to confess by overzealous officials merited only an indirect apology from the Supreme Prosecutor's Office  (June 11: Freed Lifer: apology is no … [Read more...] about Criminal acts by police go unpunished; Ishihara promotes corporal punishment

2009年5月28日ポール・クレイグ・ロバーツCounterPunch原文 http://www.jca.apc.org/%7Ekmasuoka/拷問は米国法にも国際法にも反している。それにもかかわらず、ジョージ・W・ブッシュ大統領とディック・チェイニー副大統領は、米国司法省の官僚が作成した法的に不適格なメモを根拠に、尋問担当者に米国法も国際法も犯してよいとゴーサインを出した。 オバマ新政権は、法の支配を遵守するために、自分の立場を悪用して法を犯した者たちを処罰しようとはしていない。 馬鹿げたことに、チェイニーは、テロリストの手にある核兵器から米国の都市を守るために拷問が必要だと主張している。多くのアメリカ人がこの議論を真に受け、チクタクと音を刻みながら爆発に近づく時限核爆弾が爆発してしまう前に、どこに爆弾があるのかテロリストに吐かせるために拷問は道徳 … [Read more...] about 拷問と米国の良心
