70 percent chance pathogen could be released from planned US biodefense lab --Report questions safety of planned biodefense lab [451 million-dollar federal bl*wjob] 15 Nov 2010 The federal government has underestimated the risks of building a lab for researching [creating] dangerous animal diseases in a densely populated area in the heart of cattle country, a report released Monday contends. The National Research Council's report notes that the U.S. Department of Homeland Security itself has estimated that there is a 70 percent chance a pathogen could be released from the lab within 50 years, and that it could cause up to $50 billion in damages. The $451 million lab would be built on the north side of the Kansas State University campus in Manhattan.
Government to compensate ex-Guantanamo Bay detainees 15 Nov 2010 Former detainees held at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp are in line for UK government compensation totalling in the millions of pounds.

At least six of them alleged British security forces were complicit in their torture before they arrived at Guantanamo. The Cabinet Office said a ministerial statement would be made on Tuesday.
'We simply can't allow Europe to join the US in becoming an 'accountability-free' zone.' CIA renditions unlawful: Amnesty 15 Nov 2010 European governments should not follow the United States' reluctance to shed light on unlawful intelligence operations carried out against suspected Islamist terrorists, Amnesty International said in a report published on Monday. In the wake of the September 11 attacks, the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has allegedly secretly abducted and detained suspected al-Qaeda affiliates, including in Europe, in a practice that has become known as "secret renditions".
EU criticised for 'complicity' in CIA rendition programmes --Amnesty International says EU has failed to hold Britain and other countries accountable for involvement in the CIA's illegal rendition and detention 15 Nov 2010 The European Union was sharply criticised by a leading human rights group today for failing to call to account member states, including Britain, for their complicity in the CIA's rendition and secret detention programme. The charge is made -- ahead of an EU-US summit in Portugal on Saturday -- by Amnesty International in a 53-page report, Open Secret, which, it says, contains mounting evidence of Europe's complicity in rendition and secret detention.
U.S. Pursues Wider Role in Yemen --Americans Move to Bring In Equipment and Operatives and Propose New Bases 16 Nov 2010 The U.S. is preparing for an expanded campaign against al Qaeda [al-CIAduh] in Yemen, mobilizing military and intelligence resources to enable Yemeni and American strikes and drawing up a longer-term proposal to establish Yemeni bases in remote areas where militants operate. The developments are part of a U.S. scramble to step up the hunt for members of al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula, the terrorist organization behind a recent failed attempt to blow up two planes over the U.S. [false flag] using bombs hidden in cargo.
Britain's top soldier says al-Qaeda cannot be beaten 13 Nov 2010 The new head of Britain's armed forces, Gen Sir David Richards, has warned that the West cannot defeat al-Qaeda and militant Islam. He said defeating Islamist militancy was "unnecessary and would never be achieved". However, he argued that it could be "contained" to allow Britons to lead secure lives. Gen Richards said the threat posed by "al-Qaeda and its affiliates" meant Britain's national security would be at risk for at least 30 years.
US military base attacked in Afghanistan 15 Nov 2010 A US military base has come under heavy rocket attack in eastern Afghan province of Kunar, blowing up a fuel tank there and destroying six armored vehicles in the base.

Speaker: US Seeking to Dominate Region under Pretext of War on Terrorism 14 Nov 2010 Iranian Parliament Speaker Ali Larijani strongly criticized the United States' double-standard approach towards terrorism, and reiterated that Washington is using the so-called war on terrorism as an excuse to dominate the region. "The Islamic Republic of Iran has frequently announced that based on information the US pursues a hypocritical attitude towards the issue of terrorism and views it as a pretext for dominating the region," Larijani said on Sunday.
Iran Plans War Games to Show Air Defenses 16 Nov 2010 Iran plans to conduct five days of war games this week to showcase its air-defense capabilities, prepare against missile strikes and warn others against attacking, military officials said, amid questions about whether Tehran will proceed with negotiations over its nuclear program. The exercises are slated to begin Tuesday and include tests of Iranian long-range missiles similar to the Russian S-300s that Moscow recently blocked... The exercises will also test military equipment such as radar systems with a range of nearly 2,000 miles.
Arab League likely to reject partial 90-day freeze 15 Nov 2010 A possible 90-day temporary freeze on construction at Israeli West Bank settlements, proposed by the US, may not be enough to prompt Palestinian and Arab support for renewing Middle East peace talks, an Arab League official said Monday. In Israel, meanwhile, ministers jockeyed to take positions for and against the proposal, which reportedly has not yet been finalized and will not be bought before Israeli decision-making bodies until it is.
Israel denies fuel to Gaza power plant 14 Nov 2010 Israel has refused to supply fuel to the Gaza Strip's main electricity plant as power outages have intensified in the besieged coastal sliver.

'It's been clear that voluntary methods have not been very effective.' Mandatory flu shots or your job? Hospitals get tough with workers 14 Nov 2010 After cajoling employees to get a [squalene-laden, mercury-filled] flu shot for years, hospitals statewide are getting tough on employees this year, with controversial policies that require some workers to mask their face for months if they skip a flu shot. Last week, the Washington State Hospital Association announced that 94 of the state's 98 hospitals had adopted a policy requiring health-care workers to get a flu shot or nasal mist, or take another "patient protective action."
'Fusion centers' gather terrorism intelligence - and much more --72 facilities [426 million-dollar federal bl*wjob] in the U.S. are starting to worry civil libertarians. 15 Nov 2010 72 "fusion centers" across the country were started after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorism attacks to improve information-sharing and threat analysis among local law enforcement. The centers, which have received $426 million in federal funding since 2004, were designed as an early warning system against the next attack. Lately, amid the recent uptick in homegrown plots [?!?], the Homeland Security Department has been touting fusion centers as a means of thwarting domestic terrorism. But... many of the centers have begun collecting and distributing criminal intelligence, even of the most mundane kind.
Hi-tech eye scanners that track passengers as they walk through airport go on trial in UK 15 Nov 2010 Passengers will have their eyes scanned as soon as they check in as part of a new trial a major UK airport. High-tech machines that can recognise an individual's iris as they walk around will be installed at Manchester Airport at check in during the government-backed pilot. Passengers who agree to take part will have their iris scanned at check in and it will then be used to identify them as they enter the security search area when it is scanned again.
Holiday security campaign announced 15 Nov 2010 The Department of Homeland Security announced Monday it was expanding its national "If You See Something, Say Something" campaign to the Washington region, as the agency continued to weather criticism over its intensified airport screening measures. The "See Something, Say Something" campaign, first started in New York City, is a marketing program designed to encourage holiday travelers and hotel workers to report potential dangers and acts of terrorism to law enforcement authorities. New advertisements will be posted in D.C.-area airports, Metro stations, movie theaters and gas stations.
'You touch me and I'll have you arrested': Man ejected from airport and threatened with $10,000 fine after refusing invasive security check 15 Nov 2010 An airline passenger was thrown out of San Diego International Airport and threatened with a $10,000 fine after refusing to submit to invasive security checks. John Tyner objected to the use of both the revealing full-body X-ray scanner and the controversial new 'pat-down' technique used by officials of the Transportation Security Administration (TSA). The new pat-down techniques have been criticised as being tantamount to groping, while the full body scanner renders the individual virtually naked.
Calif. court upholds in-state tuition for illegal immigrants 15 Nov 2010 The California Supreme Court on Monday upheld a state law allowing illegal immigrants to pay lower in-state tuition rates at state colleges and universities. The unanimous decision overturns a lower-court ruling that said the law unfairly favors illegal immigrants over U.S. citizens who lived in other states and must pay much higher tuition.
Delaware's Coons, West Virginia's Manchin sworn in as U.S. senators 15 Nov 2010 The 112th Congress doesn't kick off until Jan. 5, but on Monday, the two winners of special elections in Delaware and West Virginia became the Senate's newest members. Democratic Sens. Chris Coons (Del.) and Joe Manchin (W.Va.) were sworn in by Vice President Biden on the first day of Congress's lame-duck session. The additions of Coons and Manchin do not change the partisan makeup of the Senate, since both Democrats are succeeding other Democrats; the Senate's party breakdown remains at 59 Democrats (including two independents who caucus with the Democrats) and 41 Republicans.
Well that's one way to break the ice... Polar bear comes face to face with filmmaker 15 Nov 2010 When you're 10ft long in your bare paws - or should that be bear paws - eye contact with another creature is probably a bit of a novelty. So this enormous polar bear decided to make the most of it, engaging wildlife filmmaker Tristan Bayer in a staring contest in Cape Churchill, Canada.

Secret report: CIA created 'safe haven' for Nazis --Justice Department probe points to intelligence agency's involvement with Nazi émigrés after WWII despite being aware of their pasts. 14 Nov 2010 The Central Intelligence Agency created a "safe haven" in the United States for Nazis and their collaborators after World War II for intelligence gathering purposes, the New York Times revealed Sunday, citing a 600-page report "which the Justice Department has tried to keep secret for four years." According to the American daily, the report's most damning disclosures come in assessing the C.I.A.'s involvement with Nazi émigrés.
Obama is president of extra-judicial killing, says ex-Guantánamo inmate --'It is like a town now and every thing around it has continued to expand. It seems that this is a permanent facility and they intend to keep it as such.' 13 Nov 2010 US President Barack Obama's attempts to reach out to Muslims have been an "utter failure" given his broken promises on several issues including closing Guantánamo Bay detention facility, former inmate Moazzam Begg has said. Begg, a British national who spent two years in Guantánamo before being released in 2005, fears the detention centre may become permanent. Begg, whose organisation, Cageprisoners, recently expanded its work to include the highlighting of extra-judicial killings, particularly the use of drone strikes, argued little had changed despite Obama's promises.
Opposition to U.S. trial likely to keep mastermind of 9/11 attacks in detention --Administration asserts it can hold prisoners without trial under laws of war 13 Nov 2010 Khalid Sheik Mohammed, the self-proclaimed [under torture] mastermind of the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks, will probably remain in military detention without trial for the foreseeable future, according to Obama administration officials. The administration has concluded that it cannot put Mohammed on trial in federal court because of the opposition of lawmakers in Congress and in New York. The administration asserts that it can hold Mohammed and other 'al-Qaeda' operatives under the laws of war, a principle that has been upheld by the courts when Guantanamo Bay detainees prisoners have challenged their detention.
