In The News: Thanks this morning to ChrisM, my MP3Angel, for supplying the news and commentary audio files. [After the commentary all of us @ Razed By Wolves and Auntie Imp's News & Blog Review want you to know we'd "love to change the world but we don't know what to do, so we leave it up to you"... Ten Years After... Courtesy of the respective artists.] » As part of his job plan for America the president plans to spend $450 billion dollars over the next ten years including a cut in payroll taxes for small businesses and employee 'contributions' to the IRS. Funding for state and local projects figure prominently into the plan as well. Details. » Terrorism succeeds by getting people to believe they're under continual threat... It's Friday and 9/11 falls on Sunday this tenth anniversary, so the memorial ceremonies around America happen in many places today even as a single source intelligence report... (Note: a single source intel report was used to propagandize our country into a war based on nothing but lies in Iraq, and if you recall, a guy named Chalabi figured prominently into that report.) ...from Pakistan says al-Qaeda has planned and made operational attacks in New York and Washington DC using rented trucks... That's all anyone in the media knows about it right now.

The legislation, which was passed July 21, 2010, ostensibly requires public corporations to practice supply-chain due diligence. If a U.S. company gets its minerals from Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), it must be able to verify that it did not buy them from militias or warlords. Critics of Section 1502 argue that the legislation has created widespread unemployment in the mining towns of the eastern DRC, threatens to unravel existing local and international initiatives to regulate Congolese mining, reduces the competitiveness of American businesses, and has done nothing to promote stability in the region. As a result, they argue for the repeal of Section 1502 on the grounds that it has done more harm than good, for everyone. However, the critics of Section 1502 are wrong.
