Amnesty Charge: States Secrets Doctrine Bars Search for Justice
One of the speakers at an “End Torture” rally, in front of the Whte House, on June 23, 2011, was Tom Parker of Amnesty Interational. He underscored the difficulty in attempting to seek redress in the US Court for victims of torture. Mr. Parker said the government regularly imposes the defense of “states secrets privilege,” thus allowing the perpetrators of wrongdoing to get a pass and for the victim to be denied due process of law. The SCTOUS has affirmed the government’s position. See: http://blog.amnestyusa.org/waronterror/torture-awareness-month-2/ and http://www.witnesstorture.org/
Sonora Dinamita - Que nadie sepa mi sufrir (Nobody I Know)
Oh my life!
Do not be surprised if I tell you that you were unkind to my poor heart. That the fire in your pretty black eyes lit up another way of love. And I think you loved me less for your part and you never felt as I for those rare things in life I found in a kiss from your lips.
Love of my love, my love what am I to do. I can not settle from being able to contemplate and you paid so badly my sincere affection. You will not get that name anymore.
Love of my love if you stopped loving me no care that people would not know it. Win a man and say my luck changes. Teases me, that no one knows my suffering.
Do not be surprised if I tell you that you were unkind to my poor heart. That the fire in your pretty black eyes lit up another way of love. And I think you loved me less for your part and you never felt as I for those rare things in life I found in a kiss from your lips.
Love of my love if you stopped loving me...

With the recession, the number of highly educated unemployed individuals has skyrocketed. An education has become more of a financial burden than a stepping stone into the workforce.

President Obama: Address Police Brutality in Puerto Rico
aclu.org
Next Tuesday, President Obama will visit Puerto Rico. We hope that during his time there, he'll address the ongoing First Amendment and human rights violations that the ACLU has been investigating and documenting since 2004. Over the last two years, since Gov. Luis Fortuño took office, police brutality and suppression of free speech and peaceful assembly have escalated to an alarming level. http://www.aclu.org/blog/free-speech-human-rights/president-obama-address-police-brutality-puerto-rico
The Founders Did Not Intend For America to Be Run By Big Banks and Wall Street
As Congress is poised to debate and vote on raising the debt ceiling, Congressman Dennis Kucinich (D-OH) today took to the House Floor to remind fellow Members why we are in debt in the first place: wars and tax cuts for the rich.
