| "Justice
has suffered a severe blow with the Supreme Court's
denial of review in the Cuban Five case. This exemplifies
the United States' double standard on terrorism. The
U.S. government protects real terrorists like Luis Posada
Carriles, who is responsible for the first in-air bombing
of a commercial airliner, while punishing those - like
the Cuban Five - who seek to prevent terrorism."
--
Marjorie Cohn, President of the National Lawyers Guild
~~~~~
"The
Supreme Courts failure to review the case of the Cuban
Five is justice denied! The US corporate media's coverage
of the decision was nothing more than hyperreal propaganda.
Together they represent the continuation of overt repression
inside the US global empire."

It’s
going to get better. It’s very—relatively
very easy for phone, cable companies, and thus the government,
to monitor and listen and watch what we do every day
on the web and on our phones. The only thing that’s
going to protect us is hard, concrete laws passed by
the US Congress that will make it illegal, and then
effective watchdogging by the government to make sure
that those laws are upheld.
