Ayad al-Samarrai, a senior official with the Iraqi Islamic party, a mainstream Sunni group, said "The party wanted an independent Iraqi inquiry established, with support from the US military and perhaps the UN, but with the powers to enter interior ministry buildings to investigate the widely reported accounts of abuse and torture. If no suitable Iraqi inquiry team could be set up, then an international investigation should be set up, he said. He said officials from Iraq's human rights ministry had tried to investigate but had been refused access by the powerful interior ministry."
" 'All those who were released from this prison were Sunnis,' Mr Samarrai said. 'It looks like part of a plan to make this community terrified, or to push them to leave Iraq or to leave their homes, or to force them into violence as they will think it is the only way to protect themselves.' " 11-05
- Editorial: Yoo as Architect for Presidential Abuse of Power (Washington Post)
"Civil liberties advocates were appalled by a memo he [John Yoo] helped draft on torture. The State Department's chief legal adviser at the time called his analysis of the Geneva Conventions 'seriously flawed.' Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote, in a critique of administration views espoused by Yoo, 'a state of war is not a blank check for the President when it comes to the rights of the Nation's citizens.' "
"Soon, Yoo found his audience in the highest echelons of the White House, where the president and vice president already tended to see the courts, Congress and international conventions as constraints on the conduct of foreign affairs and national security."
"In a series of opinions, Yoo argued that the Constitution grants the president virtually unhindered discretion in wartime."
"The majority view among constitutional scholars holds that the Framers purposely imposed checks on the executive branch, even in wartime, not least in reaction to the rule of Britain's King George III." 12-05
- -01-18-06 Report: U.S. Abuse of Prisoners a Boon for Terrorist Recruiters (CBS News)
"The Bush administration has a deliberate strategy of abusing terror suspects during interrogations, Human Rights Watch said Wednesday in its annual report on the treatment of people in more than 70 countries."
"The human rights group based its conclusions mostly on statements by senior administration officials in the past year, and said President Bush's reassurances that the United States does not torture suspects were deceptive and rang hollow."
"Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch, told reporters Wednesday that the 'U.S. disregard for human rights in the name of fighting terrorism' has actually hurt efforts to combat terror groups. He said it has robbed America of the moral high ground and bred resentment that 'has been a boon for terrorist recruiters.' "

- -10-11-08 Editorial: What Does Palin's Abuse of Power Mean? (Time.com)
"In the [investigative] report [regarding Gov. Sarah Palin's possible abuse of power], the head of Gov. Palin's security detail says that Todd [Palin] spent about half of his time in the governor's office — not at a desk (he didn't have one), but at a long conference table on one side of the office, with his own phone to make and receive calls. It became a shadow office, the informal Department of Getting Mike Wooten Fired." Mike Wooten was Gov. Palin's brother-in-law.
"But even though she won't likely face any legal repercussions, the amateurism and cronyism of her brief administration hardly leaves Palin sitting pretty. Troopergate's final verdict may be even more damaging than a rebuke: her administration was, at least this regard, just as self-motivated as the Washington fat cats and lobbyists she hopes to unseat." 10-08
- -10-11-08 Report to the Alaska Legislative Council: Palin's Abuse of Power (MSNBC News)
Provides Stephen Branchflower's report to the Alaska Legislative Council regarding whether Governor Sarah Palin abused her power when she fired her Public Safety Commissioner. Finding Number One is that "Governor Sarah Palin abused her power by violating Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) of the Alaska Executive Branch Ethics Act. Alaska Statute 39.52.110(a) provides 'The legislature reaffirms that each public officer holds office as a public trust, and any effort to benefit a personal or financial interest through official action is a violation of that trust.' "
Finding Number Two is that "I find that, although Walt Monegan's refusal to fire Trooper Michael Wooten was not the sole reason he was fired by Governor Sarah Palin, it was likely a contributing factor to his termination as Commissioiner of Public Safety. In spite of that, Governor Palin's firing of Commissioner Monegan was a proper and lawful exercise of her constitutional and statuatory authority to hire and fire executive branch department heads." 10-08
