Six ways the GOP could screw up the Obama administration's scandals | Ana Marie Cox 18.5.2013 Guardian: Comment is Free
Republicans could waste the White House's 'worst weeks ever' to a lack of strategy and rogue members of their own party There's something already dangerously smug about the way that the Republican Party – and the media, for that matter – have described the past two weeks as the White House's "worst weeks ever". There have been some exceedingly bad weeks over the past five years, including the one in April that began with the Boston Marathon bombings and ended with an earthquake in Tokyo. One can plausibly assume that all this schadenfreude about the Obama administration, done in its optics-y, win-the-news-cycle way, seems to be the only way that our political press is capable of talking about scandals. But just because the White House has had a difficult time managing this waterfall of negative stories doesn't mean that the Republicans on the Hill won't drown in the torrent. The GOP is the only party, after all, that impeached a sitting president yet still came out more unpopular than the ...

G4S guard in dead deportee case shared racist jokes 16.5.2013 The Guardian -- World Latest
The senior custody officer in charge of restraining an Angolan deportee read out racist jokes in court, an inquest has heard The G4S security guard in charge of restraining an Angolan man who died as he was being deported from Britain was told in court to read out a string of racist jokes he received and forwarded using his mobile phone. Stuart Tribelnig, the senior detainee custody officer in charge of Jimmy Mubenga's forced deportation in 2010, told the jury at the inquest at Isleworth crown court that the jokes aggressively targeting black men, Pakistanis and Muslims did not reflect his beliefs or influence his treatment of the deportees he removed from the UK. He variously said he had "probably" not read the jokes that he nevertheless forwarded to friends, including "three or four" other G4S detention custody officers. He later said that he had passed the jokes on "in a unthinking moment" despite not having found them funny. When asked by Henry Blaxland QC of Garden Court, one of ...

Is child grooming and sexual abuse a race issue? 14.5.2013 The Guardian -- World Latest
Figures suggest Asian men are disproportionately involved, but law enforcers and those in child protection say it's not so simple It is the potentially explosive charge that may gain momentum after the conviction of the latest gang of men to be convicted of grooming underage girls. Is there something about Asian Muslim men that leads to them being disproportionately involved in the grooming and sexual abuse of white girls? The courts have dealt with a cluster of horrific cases including those in Rochdale, Derby and now Oxford . Available figures are patchy and flawed, but on the face of it they do suggest Asian men are disproportionately involved in group grooming leading to sexual abuse, compared with their numbers in the national population. This impression is supported by several sources in law enforcement who spoke to the Guardian. A 2011 study by the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre looked at the 2,379 potential offenders caught grooming girls since 2008. Of 940 ...

The claimed legal basis for these actions is unknown, but the threats they pose to a free press and the newsgathering process are clear Associated Press on Monday revealed that the Department of Justice (DOJ) "secretly obtained two months of telephone records of [its] reporters and editors", denouncing it as a "massive and unprecedented intrusion" into the news gathering process. In a letter sent yesterday to Attorney General Eric Holder , AP's President, Gary Pruitt, detailed that the phone records cover more than 20 telephone lines used by AP journalists, including their homes, offices and cell phones. He said the phones for which the DOJ obtained records also include ones at the AP bureaus in New York City, Washington DC, Hartford, and at the House of Representatives. Pruitt wrote that "we regard this action by the Department of Justice as a serious interference with AP's constitutional rights to gather and report the news."
