In The News: Doing all the wrong things - The Pakistani parliament is going to vote on a president soon and due to US pressure to keep the military incursions into the Waziristan and Autonomous regions going, the cities nearby in Pakistani territory have been experiencing Taliban ‘blowback’. It was all just starting to settle down and then the US leads a commando raid into South Waziristan killing an number of civilians and ‘taliban supporters’. More.

Bangkok Thailand sees the second week of major protests and government building occupations.

The protesters at the St Paul Minnesota RNC attempting to march on the Convention have been tear gassed, clubbed, trampled by horse mounted officers, a couple of hundred arrested including Amy Goodman of Democracy Now!, three of her crew, and an AP photographer… No matter, the same was applied to the demonstrators even when they were in their allocated ‘free speech’ areas.

Shocking Choice by John McCain

WASHINGTON– Senator John McCain just announced his choice for running mate: Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska. To follow is a statement by Rodger Schlickeisen, president of Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund.

“Senator McCain’s choice for a running mate is beyond belief. By choosing Sarah Palin, McCain has clearly made a decision to continue the Bush legacy of destructive environmental policies.

“Sarah Palin, whose husband works for BP (formerly British Petroleum), has repeatedly put special interests first when it comes to the environment. In her scant two years as governor, she has lobbied aggressively to open up the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge to drilling, pushed for more drilling off of Alaska’s coasts, and put special interests above science.

Ms. Palin has made it clear through her actions that she is unwilling to do even as much as the Bush administration to address the impacts of global warming. Her most recent effort has been to sue the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to remove the polar bear from the endangered species list, putting Big Oil before sound science.

As unbelievable as this may sound, this actually puts her to the right of the Bush administration.

“This is Senator McCain’s first significant choice in building his executive team and it’s a bad one. It has to raise serious doubts in the minds of voters about John McCain’s commitment to conservation, to addressing the impacts of global warming and to ensuring our country ends its dependency on oil.” [Source, Op-Ed News]
