Toddler With Bruises From Stairs?

Where's the change Mr President?

confirmed progresses term of President Obama, my skepticism - surpasses even some of my fears ...

A study by the U.S. Department of Defense has just found the reason that everything is fine at "Camp Justice" on Cuba. Lawyers and civil rights may find fault with the prison conditions and in particular the force-feeding hunger-striking prisoners. The Pentagon, however, recognizes only a marginal violation of the Geneva Convention: One to two dozen Prisoners in the security wing of the camp should get more exercise and social contact than before.

The bitter words of "Obama's Guantanamo" is already circulating. My human rights so that the U.S. military camp near the Bagram airfield near Kabul. About 600 "enemy combatants" are sitting behind barbed wire, and America's military leadership is driving the construction work to double the capacity of the camp prisoners nearly 1100. "Some of our clients are there for so long in prison as those in Guantanamo," complains Tina Foster, attorney for the organization International Justice Network (IJN).

Bagram internees are still more vulnerable than Guantanamo inmates: The right to challenge their often years in prison before a U.S. court can (habeas corpus), gave them the Bush administration always denied.

since Friday night is now clear: Obama holds firmly to the Bush course. In two terse sentences gave Holders Justice Department say a U.S. federal judge on Friday that the new government consider "at the earlier articulated position" solid, which was outside Bagram, the American legal space.

On the grounds that it stood highest State secrets are at stake, called on Obama's lawyers, a federal court to immediately knock down a suit by five men who had been abducted as part of Bush's anti-terror war by the CIA.

By its action would now sue the five freed terror suspects a subsidiary of the Boeing Corporation for damages. The company was apparently involved in the CIA program, spent the suspected terrorists to third countries and there was torture ("Rendition"). Obama has stopped this practice. However, holding his CIA director, Leon Panetta, a door open: "At least in the short term" should the new government can move terrorists so as to body.

Where's The Water Tower In Poptropica

If the stock market fall

The Dax is apparently about to fall below the limit of 4,000 points - since me an old poem comes to mind:

When falling stock prices,
stirs trouble in almost all, but
some bloom on
your recipe called short sale.

Keck hawk these boys
things they do not even have
occur even going to crash, they need
- really splendid!

Lightweight yet in such acts
they are doing with derivatives:
coiffed If the value of paper,
is potentiated the effect.

If as a result banks crash, savers
have to laugh at anything, and the mortgage on the house

means residents have to get out. Does

's major banks, however, comes
the whole world shaken -
the speculators now trembles at hatching
belongings!

Should we compromise the system? Since
must be exceeded:
The profit that remains private, the losses
purchased by the state.

To achieve this, the government loans, and reiterates
profits
one has yet in that country
the government in the hand.

for the bills this Frechen
has the little man to cough up
and - this is fine indeed -
not only in America!

And if prices rise again,
starts from the front of the dance - is
containing pure redistribution,
only in one direction always.

But should the masses
the times can never offer
is the way out long ago considered:
is then made little war.

Schaeffler Group

I wonder, our managers and entrepreneurs also possess only an iota of shame?
There sits a Fr.Schäffler to € 6 billion personal fortune gambled, with the acquisition of Conti, and now has the audacity to cry out for government help, yet to be hypocritical threatened by reference to workplaces ; tze. And the workers of the Schaeffler Group rebel not - no, they also demonstrate their group leader. How stupid and oppressed the German people now?
