Battle lines drawn on climate bill
Email|Link|Comments (2) Posted by Foon Rhee, deputy national political editor May 5, 2009 12:42 PM
Trying to shore up support for his climate change proposals, President Obama called three dozen House Democrats into the White House today.

More than a month ago, Representatives Edward Markey of Massachusetts and Henry Waxman of California introduced a sweeping bill that would set strict new limits on greenhouse gases, cutting emissions by 20 percent by 2020 and by 85 percent by 2050.

The bill -- which calls for pollution credits to be given or auctioned off to utilities and businesses -- has stalled because of industry opposition, criticism from Republicans, and concerns from some Democrats over the so-called cap-and-trade system.

While Obama's spending blueprint calls for generating $650 billion by auctioning off the credits and using most of the windfall to help with higher energy prices, some are pushing to give away many of those permits to ease the cost on business.

Republican critics, meanwhile, call cap-and-trade an energy tax that will hurt families and small businesses. House Republicans held their own session on global warming and released a list of at least 31 congressional Democrats either concerned or opposed outright to the proposal.

Auditor blasts state criminal records system as outdated, inaccurate
May 5, 2009 01:27 PM Email| Comments (0)| Text size – + By Peter Schworm, Globe Staff

A scathing audit today condemned the state's criminal records system as woefully obsolete and riddled with flaws, preventing law enforcement agencies from obtaining current information and potentially creating false criminal records for innocent people.

The two-year review from State Auditor Joe DeNucci found lengthy lag times between updates of criminal records, leading to more than 38,000 cases where convictions did not appear in the database, including murder and failing to register as a sex offender. It also found few safeguards against mistaken information being entered into the database.

"I am deeply concerned that the lack of a modern, state-of-the-art criminal history information system could pose a threat to public safety," DeNucci said. "These are serious public safety concerns that must be addressed."

Massachusetts is the only state that does not use fingerprints to verify criminal records, the audit found. This allows criminal charges to be entered into the system for the wrong person, either by error or if an offender gives a false name. There is also no link between arrest data submitted to State Police and court dispositions.

Kevin Burke, secretary of the state's public safety office, which oversees the Criminal History Systems Board, which maintains the system, requested the audit. DeNucci said a lack of funding is a major reason for the outdated technology, but that an overhaul is expected over the next two years.

Without an overhaul, DeNucci said, the system "cannot guarantee the reliability of law enforcement decisions that depend on this information."

The audit also found that unauthorized users were able to access the system, often illegally running arbitrary background checks on well-known Massachusetts residents without justification.

Besides criminal records, the database includes information on missing and wanted persons, drivers' licenses and motor vehicles, and firearms licenses.

et al . . .

also from above: "The audit also found that unauthorized users were able to access the system, often illegally running arbitrary background checks on well-known Massachusetts residents without justification." - so tell me that HUMF associated harvard and MIT et al hackers cannot gain access to the falsification of records?

to persecutively profile?

Former Bush Officials Work to Soften Report on Interrogations

By Carrie Johnson
Washington Post Staff Writer
Tuesday, May 5, 2009 2:24 PM



Former Bush administration officials are launching a behind-the-scenes lobbying campaign to urge Justice Department leaders to soften an ethics report criticizing lawyers who blessed harsh detainee interrogation tactics, according to two sources familiar with the efforts.

In recent days, attorneys for the subjects of the ethics probe have encouraged senior Bush administration appointees to write and phone Justice Department officials, said the sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the process is not complete.

A draft report of more than 200 pages, prepared in January before Bush's departure, recommends disciplinary action by state bar associations against two former department attorneys in the Office of Legal Counsel who might have committed misconduct in preparing and signing the so-called torture memos. State bar associations have the power to suspend a lawyer's license to practice or impose other penalties.

The memos offered support for waterboarding, slamming prisoners against a wall and other techniques that critics have likened to torture. The documents were drafted between 2002 and 2005.

The sweeping investigation, now in its fifth year, could shed new light on the origins of the memos. Investigators rely in part on e-mail exchanges between Justice Department lawyers and lawyers at the CIA who sought advice about the legality of interrogation practices that have since been abandoned by the Obama administration.

Two of the authors, Jay S. Bybee, now a federal appeals court judge in Nevada, and John C. Yoo, now a law professor in Southern California, faced a deadline of yesterday to respond to investigators.

Attorneys for both men did not immediately return phone calls or e-mail messages seeking comment on the reports. An e-mail to Yoo also received no response. The attorneys for the men, Maureen Mahoney and Miguel Estrada, had been trying to garner support for their clients by contacting former senior Justice Department officials to prevail upon their successors in the Obama administration, sources said.

The legal analysis on interrogation prepared by a third former chief of the Office of Legal Counsel, Steven G. Bradbury, also was a subject of the ethics probe. But in an early draft, investigators did not make disciplinary recommendations about Bradbury. Before they left office this year, then-Attorney General Michael B. Mukasey and then-Deputy Attorney General Mark Filip wrote a 12-page letter to counterbalance the draft report. They described the context surrounding the origins of the memos, which were written at a time when government officials feared another terrorist strike on American soil.

Both Mukasey and Filip were dissatisfied with the quality of the legal analysis in the wide-ranging draft report, sources said. Among other things, the draft report cited lengthy passages from a 2004 CIA inspector general investigation and cast doubt on the effectiveness of the questioning techniques, which sources characterized as far afield from the narrow legal questions surrounding the lawyer's activities. The letter from Mukasey and Filip has not been publicly released, but it may emerge when the investigative report is issued.

Interest groups, including the American Civil Liberties Union, have sued to gain access to the CIA inspector general report and other documents dealing with detainee treatment.

Late Monday evening, Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich wrote senior congressional Democrats to offer an update about the status of the ethics investigation, which is being conducted by the department's Office of Professional Responsibility. Weich told Sens. Richard Durbin (D-Ill.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) that Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. and Deputy Attorney General David W. Ogden "will have access to whatever information they need to evaluate the final report and make determinations about appropriate next steps."

Authorities did not signal in the letter when or in what form the report would be released. They have shared their findings with the CIA and asked for the agency's comments, the letter said. The biggest holdup to release has been the fact that the content of the interrogation memos had been classified, but the documents were released last month by the Justice Department. Sources said the highly anticipated report could emerge as soon as this summer.

Any disciplinary findings about the former Justice Department attorneys are likely to add fuel to calls within Congress and among left-leaning interest groups for criminal prosecutions of Bush administration officials who authorized the interrogations and for an independent congressional inquiry into the origins of the practices.

Legal experts on both sides of the political aisle have cast doubt on the likelihood of wide-scale criminal probes, but neither President Obama nor Holder has ruled out investigations of those who might have gone beyond the Justice Department's legal advice.

The Office of Professional Responsibility, which has been conducting the investigation, itself has been a focus of criticism from defense lawyers and judges, who say it moves slowly and operates with too much secrecy. Last month Attorney General Holder transferred its longtime leader, H. Marshall Jarrett, to another senior post and replaced him with federal prosecutor Mary Patrice Brown. The report on Yoo, Bybee and Bradbury is now in her court, department sources said.
