October 26, 2005

Amid all the natural and political disasters it faces, the White House is certainly tireless in its effort to legalize torture. This week, Vice President Dick Cheney proposed a novel solution for the moral and legal problems raised by the use of American soldiers to abuse prisoners and the practice of turning captives over to governments willing to act as proxies in doing the torturing. Mr. Cheney wants to make it legal for the Central Intelligence Agency to do this wet work.

[....]

But Mr. Cheney's proposal was even more ludicrous. It would give the president the power to allow government agencies outside the Defense Department (the administration has in mind the C.I.A.) to mistreat and torture prisoners as long as that behavior was part of "counterterrorism operations conducted abroad" and they were not American citizens. That would neatly legalize the illegal prisons the C.I.A. is said to be operating around the world and read full story / add a comment

UK to avoid cripplingly high rents in urban centres

Diane Taylor
Wednesday October 26, 2005
The Guardian


Françoise is a well-groomed young French woman who works part-time in fashion PR in London, pays her taxes and shares a cottage with friends in north London. She pays no rent though, because she is one of thousands of people across the UK who is squatting. "Many people who squat are working in low-paid jobs and simply cannot afford to pay rent, particularly in London," she says. "We want to do something creative with our lives, not just working behind a bar or on a building site. If you don't have to pay rent on top of all your other living expenses it can mean the difference between having time to live and merely surviving." read full story / add a comment
