An un-American response to the Oslo attack
Over the last decade, virtually every Terrorist plot aimed at the U.S. -- whether successful or failed -- has provoked greater security and surveillance measures. Within a matter of mere weeks, the 9/11 attacks infamously spawned a vast new surveillance statute (the Patriot Act), a secretly implemented warrantless eavesdropping program in violation of the law, an explosion of domestic surveillance contracts, a vastly fortified secrecy regime, and endless wars in multiple countries. As it turned out, that massive over-reaction was not a crisis-driven anomaly but rather the template for future actions.

FIGHT BACK: Big Banks Want To Crack Down On Whistleblowers
They're just puppets. Congressional shills for the big banks are pushing new legislation to undermine whistle-blowers. Under a proposal just introduced by Congressman Michael Grimm (R-NY), employees who strive to reveal corruption at the banks would be penalized unless they report wrongdoing to their bosses first, before going public: They'd be risking their jobs and giving the corporations a chance to cover their tracks.Will you fight back by urging your lawmakers to vote against Grimm's offensive proposal?
It should be no surprise that Grimm is proving a puppet for big business: According to OpenSecrets.org, He raised more than $330,000 for his 2010 election from the finance, insurance, and real estate industries.
The financial collapse might have been far less severe if more employees had spoken out against corrupt corporate practices -- that's why the financial reform legislation that passed last year included new incentives and protections for whistle-blowers. But now Grimm's bill would reduce rewards for whistle-blowers and penalize them if they reveal their allegations to the public before they report them to their bosses.
