Matt Apuzzo of The Associated Press re****ts: "If his cell were at
Guantanamo
Bay, the prisoner would be just one of hundreds of suspected terrorists
detained offshore, where the US says the Constitution does not apply. But
Ali

military
brig."

The Los Angeles Times's David Zucchino writes: "When Cody Alexander Morris

http://www.truthout.org/article/clinton-you-invoked-a-political-nightmare
On MSNBC Countdown, Keith Olbermann's Special Comment says: "Not for a
moment
does any rational person believe Senator Clinton is actually hoping for
the
worst of all political calamities. Yet the outrage belongs, not to Senator
Clinton or her sup****ters, but to every other American."

http://www.truthout.org/article/ag-mukasey-defends-embattled-john-yoo
According to The Associated Press, "Attorney General Michael Mukasey is
defending former government lawyers who drew up the legal basis of the

Oil: Power Has Changed Sides
http://www.truthout.org/article/oil-power-has-changed-sides
In Le Monde, Jean-Michel Bezat says, "In the beginning of the 1970s, when
a
barrel of black gold cost less than $2, no one imagined that one day an
American president would be reduced to begging the king of Saudi Arabia
for an
increase in the Organization of Petroleum Ex****ting Countries' (OPEC's)
production to bring down prices. Yet the West has reached that point.
After an
initial rebuff in mid-January, George W. Bush was at it again on Friday,
May
16, during his meeting with King Abdullah in Riyadh."
