On Friday a military judge decided to disqualify Brig. Gen. Thomas W. Hartmann from any further role in the Guantanamo war crimes case because of obvious political concerns in his judgment deciding which cases will be tried.  I will also share an interview I did with atty Candace Gorman who filed suit last week alleging that the US government was tampering with attorneys defending Gitmo inmates.  We will re-visit Olbermann's Nexus of Politics and Terror for some insight into the administrations war on terror politics.
The WoT has been a last bastion of republican campaigning and like every other issue facing voters this fall it seems to slipping away from the GOP. 

Post mortems are being written as more and more superdelegates make their allegiance to Obama known.  Even John Edwards made a subtle endorsement by referring to 'voting for him' last Tuesday.  I look forward to when the MSM joins us in a closer examination of the McCain candidacy.

George McGovern, Wes Clark and Diane Feinstein have each made statements today that seem to point to what almost all of us recognize at this time.  This race is over for the Clinton's.  When will the Clinton campaign recognize this and move on ?  Who should Obama be considering for a running mate ?

Last Friday John McCain was speaking at a town hall meeting touting his soon to be announced energy policy.  He claimed his new policy would make us less dependent on middle eastern oil and then said "that will prevent us from  having ever to send our young men and women into conflict again in the middle east"  Did old man Mccain mispeak yet again ?   Or did he unknowingly admit what most of us have known for some time  -  our troops are fighting and dying in Iraq for oil.

Progressive DC group, with some ties to Clintons, behind robo-calls that are "potentially disenfranchising hundreds of thousands of voters" in NC

So who is Lamont Williams ?  There are reports of a series of robo-calls targetting African-American voters in North Carolina from a Mr Williams.  These misleading robo-calls are telling NC black voters to mail in their voter reg packets to be able to vote next week.  The calls are creating confusion among voters and local law enforcement is investigating.  Today we learned that a DC non-profit group called Women's Voices Women Vote is behind the campaign that has spanned six other states including Arizona.  You'll never guess who this group is connected to.  Sadly, it's not the RNC or some other despicable right wing group.  No, it's connected to the Clinton campaign.  That's right friends, the Clinton campaign is using right wing robo-call techniques to disenfranchise the black vote.
Does pointing this out make me a Clinton basher ?

at 4 PM Toby Hemenway author of Gaia's Garden: A Guide to Home-Scale Permaculture.  Permaculture is notoriously hard to define in a sound-bite. Here's one way to describe it: If you think of natural building, sustainable agriculture, solar energy, graywater recycling, consensus process, and the like as tools, then permaculture is the toolbox that helps organize those tools and suggests how and when to use them. Some of the writings and links here may help deepen your understanding of this vast subject. To learn more Toby's website is here

McCain and the truth about 100 years in Iraq.  At a New Hampshire town hall when McCain was asked "President Bush has talked about our staying in Iraq for 50 years." McCain responded: "Maybe 100" and "that would be fine with me."   What could that possibly mean ?  Could it mean that being in Iraq for 100 years is fine with Sen McCain ?  It's seems to be a point of confusion for many on the right.
