Arrested 'Crawford 14' Released; Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld Still on the Loose...
Detained Peace Protestors Forced to 'Strip Naked', Were 'Scrubbed for Lice'

David Swanson updates the sitch in Crawford, TX this morning where, as we reported yesterday, 14 anti-war protestors who are part of Cindy Sheehan's "Camp Casey" Easter protest were arrested last night...

The 14 arrested included 8 veterans, one of them a disabled Iraqi vet, and 6 grandmothers. "It was amazing," said Barbara, "to see veterans and grandmothers arrested, while George Bush and Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld are running loose killing people.

Eight of the 14, including Daniel Ellsberg, had been arrested last Thanksgiving and charged with obstructing a highway and with felonious trespassing. They staged a demonstration at the court house the day before yesterday demanding that those charges be brought to a trial or dropped. This time, the 14 were charged only with obstructing a highway.

They were forced to strip naked, communally, women in one room, men in another, and made to shower and scrub for lice. Then they were dressed in reusable jail underwear and striped jail suits. I guess we should be glad that Rumsfeld wasn't there with any kinky fetishes or dogs.

Lonestar Iconoclast has more coverage and a bunch of fresh photos from yesterday.

Still more details, video of the arrests, and our LIVE audio interview last night with Cindy Sheehan after the arrests are all here...

Welcome to the USA...where the innocent are presumed guilty and the guilty are running the country.

Abu Ghraib? How about Abu Crawford?!

I had a wonderful idea.

Let's pass a law that punishes malfeasance by any elected official in office with the death penalty.

Yeah, Baby!

How many wanna be a politician NOW???!!!

Illinois ex-governor Ryan (Republican) was just found guilty of 22 counts of fraud, money laundering, racketeering, etc. after a 5 1/2 month trial.
Wouldn't it be wonderful to be able to fry him for that because of the death penalty law for elected officials found guilty of malfeasance in office?

Bush supporters tell us that if we have nothing to hide, why should we fear the Patriot Act & the wiretap spying, the torture, being held with no charges, etc.
We could say the same to Bush & the other officials in office if there were a death penalty for malfeasance in office--what have you got to worry about? You're all honest--right?

VotersUnite.org's Daily Voting News 'Daily Voting News'
for July 2-3, 2009
by Ellen Theisen

Co-Editors: Dave Klein and John Washburn

While the goals of the U.S. and the Philippines seem to be the same regarding elections --- fair and fraud-free, their methods are diametrically opposed. The Philippines is desperate to get away from paper ballots and automate their elections, and the U.S., having been there done that, is heading in the opposite direction.

Happy Independence Day! We're taking the weekend off....
