Bethlehem Steel
I was very fortunate to have been allowed access to the Bethlehem
Steel facilities in Bethlehem Pennsylvania in September 2006. The photographs below were captured in a single
day of wandering around this massive sitewhich had been closed for about 11 years. As you will see, what I
discovered in my explorations was far more beautiful, poignant, and complex than the post-industrial detritus I
had expected to find. And I am very grateful to have been given the chance to document this since less
than a year after my visit major construction broke ground to transform the Bethlehem Steel site into a multi-purpose
hotel/casino/retail/cultural center aimed at revitalizing the Lehigh Valley area.

Rumsfeld hit with torture lawsuit while visiting Paris
  |
 It doesn't get better than this. While visiting France, Major War Criminal Donald Rumsfeld has been hit with a torture lawsuit from a group of human rights organisations. He may possibly be tried for his role in legalising torture from 2002-2003 in Iraq. Although the odds are against anything substantial happening, it will certainly be a huge embarrassment for the Bush Administration. Who knows, Rumsfeld could one day end up in jail.....Read the full story here from http://www.rawstory.com

Rumsfeld hit with torture lawsuit while visiting Paris
Jason Rhyne
Published: Friday October 26, 2007
 Former US Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld's jaunt to France was interrupted today by an unscheduled itinerary item -- he was slapped with a criminal complaint charging him with torture.Rumsfeld, in Paris for a discussion sponsored by the magazine Foreign Policy, was tracked down by representatives of a coalition of international human rights groups, who informed the architect of the US invasion of Iraq that they had submitted a torture suit against him in French court. The filed documents allege that during his tenure, the former defense secretary "ordered and authorized" torture of detainees at both the American-run Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq and the US military's detainment facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
The head of one of the groups responsible for bringing the charges, the US-based Center for Constitutional Rights, told RAW STORY today by phone that the suit was a long time coming.
"We've been working on cornering Rumsfeld and getting him indicted somewhere going on three years now," said the Center's president, Michael Ratner. "Four days ago, we got confidential information he was going to be in France."Joined by activists, attorneys for the human rights groups caught up with Rumsfeld on his way to a breakfast meeting. "He was walking down the street with just one person," said Ratner.
"Around 20 campaigners gave Rumsfeld a rowdy welcome...yelling 'murderer,' waving a banner and trying to push into the building," reports AFP.Ratner, who wasn't personally
at the scene, says his sources told him that the former defense secretary made some pre-scheduled remarks at the meeting before ducking through a door leading to the US
Embassy.According to Ratner, France has a legal responsibility under international law to prosecute Rumsfeld for torture abuses."If a torturer comes into your territory," he said,
"there's an obligation to either prosecute the person or return him to a place where he will be prosecuted."The rights groups notably cite three memorandums signed by the
defense secretary between October 2002 and April 2003 "legimitizing the use of torture" including the "hooding" of detainees, sleep deprivation and the use of dogs.
Although his group has been a part of previous attempts to bring charges against Rumsfeld, including two former tries in Germany, Ratner believes French court has the highest
chance of success."There are Guantananamo detainees who were tortured that are living in France," he said. "It gives French courts another reason to prosecute."Ratner says
Europe is "getting very hot for Rumsfeld," and suggests a French court could at least issue its version of a subpoena. "We hope that this case will move forward," he said,
"especially as the US says it can continue to torture people."Other groups involved in the complaint include the International Federation of Human Rights, the French League
for Human Rights and Germany's European Center for Constitutional and Human Rights.More details about the lawsuit are available at the website of the Center for Constitutional
Rights.

November 2, 2007: Malcolm Nance "a counter-terrorism and terrorism intelligence consultant for the U.S. government's Special Operations,
Homeland Security and Intelligence agencies" and "an Arabic speaking interrogator and a master Survival, Evasion, Resistance and Escape
(SERE) instructor," says that waterboarding unquestionably is torture:
The carnival-like he-said, she-said of the legality of Enhanced Interrogation Techniques has become a form of doublespeak worthy of
Catch-22. Having been subjected to them all, I know these techniques, if in fact they are actually being used, are not dangerous when
applied in training for short periods. However, when performed with even moderate intensity over an extended time on an unsuspecting
prisoner – it is torture, without doubt. Couple that with waterboarding and the entire medley not only “shock the conscience” as the
statute forbids -it would terrify you. Most people can not stand to watch a high intensity kinetic interrogation. One has to overcome
basic human decency to endure watching or causing the effects. The brutality would force you into a personal moral dilemma between
humanity and hatred. It would leave you to question the meaning of what it is to be an American.
November 1, 2007: One year ago I wrote the following:
This is what water boarding, a favorite technique of the Khmer Rouge, looks like.
Unsurprisingly, “[t]he
United States
has long considered waterboarding to be torture and a war crime. As early as 1901, a U.S. court martial
sentenced Major Edwin Glenn to 10 years of hard labor for subjecting a suspected insurgent in the
Philippines
to the 'water cure.' After
World
War II, U.S.
, U.S.
military commissions successfully prosecuted as war criminals several Japanese soldiers who subjected American prisoners
to waterboarding. A U.S. army officer was court-martialed in February 1968 for helping to waterboard a prisoner in
Vietnam
.”
Meanwhile, Vice President Cheney indicated that the Bush administration doesn't regard water-boarding as torture and allows the CIA to use it.
''It's a no-brainer for me,'' Cheney said at one point in an interview.
So it seems like a fair question to wonder what Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez’s meant regarding the legality and continued use of water
boarding when he spoke on Saturday at the U.S. Air Force Academy:
" Let me be clear here today: Our law plainly and unequivocally prohibits torture as well as cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment.
The
United States
does not engage in torture, and consistent with our law and practice, no evidence obtained by torture shall be admitted at
a military commission proceeding."
We know what Gonzalez thought. We also know what kind of Attorney General Gonzalez was. So I could not agree more with the following about Michael Mukasey:
In a letter to the 10 Democrats on the committee, Mr. Mukasey refused to say whether he considered waterboarding (a method of extracting information by making a prisoner believe he is about to be drowned) to be torture. He said he found it “repugnant,” but could not say whether it is illegal until he has been briefed on the interrogation programs that Mr. Bush authorized at Central Intelligence Agency prisons.
This is a crass dodge. Waterboarding is torture and was prosecuted as such as far back as 1902 by the United States military when used in a slightly different form on insurgents in the
Philippines
. It meets the definition of torture that existed in American law and international treaties until Mr. Bush changed those rules. Even the awful laws on the treatment of detainees that were passed in 2006 prohibited the use of waterboarding by the American military.
And yet the nominee for attorney general has no view on whether it would be legal for an employee of the
United States
government to subject a prisoner to that treatment? The only information Mr. Mukasey can possibly be lacking is whether Mr. Bush broke the law by authorizing the C.I.A. to use waterboarding — a judgment that the White House clearly does not want him to render in public because it could expose a host of officials to criminal accountability.
Mr. Mukasey’s letter to the Senate committee accepts the administration’s use of the so-called shocks-the-conscience test to determine the legality of interrogation methods, rather than the clear and specific prohibitions against torture, humiliation and cruel treatment embedded in American and international law. The administration’s standard is dangerously vague, invites abuse and amounts to a unilateral reinterpretation of the Geneva Conventions. Would Mr. Mukasey approve of a foreign jailer using waterboarding on an American soldier? Mr. Bush’s policies increase the danger of that happening.
October 30, 2007: James Surowieki in the New Yorker:
In American politics, supply-side economics is the monster that will not die. The supply-side argument that, in the United States, tax-rate cuts pay for themselves—that, after cutting taxes, the government actually ends up with more revenue—has little or no support within the mainstream economic profession, and no hard empirical data to back it up. Myriad studies have demonstrated that both the Reagan tax cuts of the nineteen-eighties and the tax cuts put through under the current Administration shrank government revenues and led to bigger budget deficits.
Yet the absence of proof for supply-side theory has not dimmed Republicans’ devotion to it. Last month, President Bush told Fox News that his tax cuts had “yielded more tax revenues, which allows us to shrink the deficit.” Dick Cheney insists that “sensible tax cuts increase economic growth and add to the federal treasury.” Every major Republican Presidential candidate—including John McCain, who actually voted against Bush’s 2001 tax bill—is on the record as saying that tax cuts pay for themselves. And, just last week, a
New York
Sun editorial published a list of what “the Republican Party stands for.” First on the list? “Reductions in top marginal tax rates . . . lead to greater government revenues in the long run.”
This supply-side orthodoxy is striking in a couple of ways. First, it requires Republican politicians to commit themselves publicly to a position that is wrong—and wrong not as a matter of ideology or faith but as a matter of fact. Saying today that tax cuts will increase tax revenues is not like saying that bombing Iran constitutes a sensible foreign policy, or that education vouchers will wreck the public schools. It’s more like saying that the best way to treat sick people is to bleed them to let out the evil spirits. Second, despite the fact that the supply-side faith has no grounding in reality, within the Republican Party there is little room for dissent on the subject, as Jonathan Chait details in his new book, “The Big Con.” Last week, the blogger Megan McArdle wrote that she had a book review for an unnamed right-wing publication spiked because in it she dared suggest that, in the
U.S.
, tax cuts decreased government revenues.
