Obama's administration: Torturing = Just fine Streaming movies = Felony Well done shit head. - #commentoftheday
State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley was forced to resign after publicly criticizing the military's detention conditions for Bradley Manning—specifically calling them "ridiculous, counterproductive and stupid"—prompting Obama to defend Manning's treatment at a press conference. The incident exemplifies what the author sees as a glaring double standard in the Obama administration: those responsible for torture and illegal surveillance face no consequences, whistleblowers are prosecuted aggressively, yet a government official is fired simply for speaking out against abuse of a detainee. Greenwald draws a sharp contrast with Democrats' past criticism of the Bush administration for crushing internal dissent, arguing that Obama's intolerance for Crowley's candid remarks contradicts his campaign promises to welcome challenging voices and form a "team of rivals."
Glenn Greenwald critiques Michael Crowley's argument that McCain/Palin rally vitriol is not uniquely alarming because Democrats similarly attacked George Bush in 2004, arguing that Crowley falsely equates the two without regard to factual merit. Greenwald contends that Bush's administration demonstrably committed war crimes—including torture at Abu Ghraib and an unprovoked invasion of Iraq—making accusations against him substantively different from baseless attacks on Obama as a terrorist and Arab traitor. Greenwald identifies this reflexive assertion of false equivalencies as emblematic of modern Beltway journalism's corruption: the pursuit of appearing "balanced" and gaining establishment approval has replaced the journalist's fundamental obligation to truth and accuracy.

After a failed attempt to repeal "don't ask, don't tell" as part of a larger military bill, supporters reintroduced it as a standalone measure, which attracted support from four Republican senators—enough to reach the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid announced voting could begin as early as Saturday, though Republicans threatened to delay proceedings through amendments or to block other legislation like the New Start treaty in retaliation. The shift to a narrower bill proved strategically effective by putting political pressure on senators who had previously cited procedural concerns to oppose the measure.

This appears to be a photo caption from the Guardian's Eyewitness series rather than a full article. It documents a moment from the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade showing a Kung Fu Panda balloon float traveling down Broadway, with context that the event dates back to 1924 and drew over 3 million viewers. The image was captured by photographer Timothy A Clary for AFP/Getty Images.

This is a photo from the Guardian's Eyewitness series documenting a humanitarian crisis in Pakistan, showing residents of a flood-stricken village in Sindh Province gathering around a military helicopter delivering emergency food aid. The image captures the desperation of communities isolated by severe flooding that has cut off conventional supply routes. It illustrates both the scale of the natural disaster and the military's critical role in reaching stranded populations with relief supplies.
Calculated Risk warned in August 2010 that incoming economic data would reveal deteriorating conditions across multiple indicators: collapsing home sales, rising inventory months-of-supply, falling house prices, and a downward revision to Q2 GDP growth due to weaker construction spending and inventory contributions. The post anticipated these negative reports would arrive over the following weeks, signaling a concerning turn in the economic recovery following the 2008 financial crisis.
