Testimony of Marjorie Cohn to the Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil R
2008-05-10 00:47:00 by Marjorie Cohn "From the Department of Justice to Guantánamo Bay: Administration Lawyers and Administration Interrogation Rules" Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties House Judiciary Committee What does torture have in common with genocide, slavery, and wars of aggression? They are all jus cogens. That’s Latin for "higher law" or "compelling law." This means that no country can ever pass a law that allows torture. There can be no immunity from criminal liability for violation of a jus cogens prohibition. The United States has always prohibited torture in our Constitution, laws, executive statements, judicial decisions, and treaties. When the U.S. ratifies a treaty, it becomes part of American law under the Supremacy Clause of the Constitution. The Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, says, "No exceptional circumstances whatsoever, ...

One man, one woman. Not civil unions.
2008-05-08 23:48:00 From The Australian May 08, 2008 by Peter Jensen , Anglican Archbishop of Sydney."I DID something really odd the other day. I looked up the dictionary definition of marriage, just to make sure that my understanding was not too off-line. I was relieved to find that it is called the legal union of a man with a woman for life. It is a public, lifelong and exclusive relationship. There is no hint in the dictionary that the word can extend to two men or two women in a public, lifelong and exclusive relationship.Of course, dictionaries change to mirror the times, and governments do all sorts of things with words, but changing the definition of marriage would be as fatuous as declaring that Perth is Sydney or that the moon is made of ice cream. We would then need a new word to describe the reality that occurs when a man and a woman publicly promise each other to live in lifelong and exclusive relationship, "in sickness and in health, and forsaking all others so long as you both shall live"...

Zimbabwe: Headed for Civil War?
2008-04-27 00:03:00 Bloomberg.com Supporters of Zimbabwe's opposition Movement for Democratic Change have retaliated against attacks by President Robert Mugabe's Zimbabwe African National Union- Patriotic Front, New York-based Human Rights Watch said. ``The emergence of tit-for-tat retaliatory attacks between Zanu-PF and MDC supporters could further escalate the violence, putting the general population at greater risk,'' Human Rights Watch said in an e-mailed report. The violence follows the establishment by Zanu-PF supporters of torture camps in Zimbabwe's rural areas, HRW said. Zanu-PF is using the camps to punish hundreds of MDC supporters for voting for the opposition in the southern African nation's March 29 presidential and parliamentary elections, it said. The opposition MDC was poised to win control of the country's House of Assembly after 18 of the 23 contested seats were confirmed today, the chairman of the Zimbabwe Electoral Commission said. The victory would leave the southern Af...

It is common for many Kuwait men to travel abroad in search of education while few women take advantage of that opportunity. Some advocates of female quotas argue their society needs more male leadership so imposing higher standards for women essentially helps the entire nation.

Ozzie's war of words with umpire anything but civil
2008-04-10 18:04:00 Based on the last two times umpire Phil Cuzzi has worked behind home plate for a White Sox game, manager Ozzie Guillen has a strong feeling about what will happen according to the Chicago Tribune. "I know I'm going to get ejected," Guillen said Wednesday, two days after Cuzzi ejected him for arguing balls and strikes for the second time in two seasons. "You can ask my bench coach as soon as I say, 'You're going to handle this game today because I know I'm going to be ejected' because that's how I feel about that situation."Guillen believes Cuzzi goaded him after arguing a called strike on Paul Konerko in the third inning of the Sox's 7-4 comeback victory over Minnesota. Said Guillen: "He doesn't like me, I don't like him," Guillen said. "One reason is, if you don't like me as a man and what I do, I can respect that. But if you don't like me and you're going to take it out on my players, you're wrong. That's unprofessional.''
