Doomsday Clock

suggests world is worse, not better

Jan-10-2012--The Doomsday Clock lost one minute due to the proliferation of nuclear weapons and continuing inaction on climate change. The Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists announced Tuesday that it has moved its "Doomsday Clock" to five minutes to midnight.

The group says inadequate progress on stopping the spread of nuclear weapons and continuing inaction on climate change are the reasons for the move.

The clock had been set at six minutes to midnight for the past two years. It previously was set at five minutes to midnight from 2007-2010.

The group says in a statement that two years ago, there was reason for optimism "that world leaders might address the truly global threats we face. In many cases, that trend has not continued or been reversed."

Coalition to pull $30B

in gear from Afghanistan

Jan-03-2012--KABUL, Afghanistan As the pace of the drawdown of U.S. troops from Afghanistan picks up in 2012, military planners are trying to figure out how to ship huge quantities of alliance vehicles, weapons and other equipment out of the mountainous, landlocked country.

The operation requires the removal of $30 billion worth of state-of-the-art military gear by the end of 2014, when U.S. and other coalition troops are to end their combat role, a senior U.S. official said Tuesday.

Most of the American equipment will be shipped to military depots in the United States for refurbishment and then redistributed to bases around the country. Some assets will go to bases in Europe, primarily Germany, or in Asian nations like South Korea.

Obama Lauds Troops as Iraq War Winds Up

Dec-15-2011--FORT BRAGG, N.C.—President Barack Obama said the long, divisive Iraq war will reach its formal end on Thursday, when an American flag in Baghdad signifying the U.S. military mission is ceremonially lowered and returned to the U.S. "The colors you fought under will be formally cased in a ceremony in Baghdad. Then, they'll begin their journey across an ocean, back home," Mr. Obama told some 3,000 military personnel assembled in a hangar on the base here. Mr. Obama in his address offered an abbreviated history of the costly Iraq war, but his focus was on the sacrifices of troops: Nearly 1.5 million men and women have served, more than 30,000 have been wounded and nearly 4,500 have died.

'Indefinite detention' provision of the National Defense Authorization Act,

Section 1031 of the NDAA bill, which itself defines the entirety of the United States as a "battlefield," allows American citizens to be snatched from the streets, carted off to a foreign detention camp and held indefinitely without trial. The bill states that "any person who has committed a belligerent act" faces indefinite detention, but no trial or evidence has to be presented, the White House merely needs to make the accusation.
