The Bush administration’s Justice Department was properly and justifiably criticized for the infusion of politics in its hiring and firing decisions. A political litmus test was imposed for new hires and a number of U.S. Attorneys were fired for refusing to kowtow to pressures to indict for partisan purposes. Although possibly not as egregious, the decision to limit the torture investigation to low level interrogators “who failed to act in good faith and within the scope of legal guidance” (which in itself may be illegal) seems also to suffer from political considerations.No one can fault the President’s desire to look forward and deal with the myriad of problems that now face the country. Likewise the prospect of investigating and possibly indicting high ranking members of the former administration and rival party sets a dangerous precedent and risks charges of political motivation. The hesitancy to look at the top is understandable and a tough call for any attorney general. But the limits placed upon the prosecutor, Mr. Durham, appear to be driven by politics. What other reason can there be for so limiting the investigation other than fear of the political consequences?
Taxidriver’s webnetworknews – Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak said today he wants Selangor back in Barisan Nasional’s (BN) fold.Najib, charge all the Selangor govt ADUNs with corruption through MACC, get Police to jail them and use judiciary to get a guilty verdict and disqualify them from holding office and the state is yours -VIOLA more prayer visit to BATU CAVES TEMPLES

It is apt that Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, who happens to head Barisan Nasional (BN) in Selangor, has signalled the ruling coalition’s intention of reclaiming Selangor from Pakatan Rakyat (PR) by calling for the BN to change, beginning with Umno.
Change is indeed the need of the hour for the BN’s component parties, since the voters in Selangor and four other states that chose to back non-BN candidates in the 2008 general election were clearly sending a message to their leaders that they want the “business as usual” culture to stop.Some of you may think that theSEE VIDEO ON YOUTUBE HERE video is in bad taste. I mean, how can we make fun of Teoh Beng Hock’s death when we should instead be mourning him? Yes, it was a hard decision to make as to whether to publish that video or not. But we decided to do it anyway not with intent to make fun of Teoh’s death but to reveal the real circumstances behind his death. And the video best describes the events behind what really happened
It’s positively obscene that 13 months after Anwar Ibrahim lodged a formal complaint against the Attorney-General and the Inspector General of Police with the Anti-Corruption Agency, both these men are still holding their posts.* They really ought to be made to take temporary leave of absence to facilitate thorough investigations into the very serious latest edition Should Anwar have Access to the Prosecution’s Evidence?

Just the lure of lucre seems to be enough inducement for them to let theirdeepest, darkest secrets come tumbling outcharges they face, namely, falsifying and fabricating evidence with which to convict Anwar Ibrahim in 1998 of sodomy charges. The fact that the PM and the entire Cabinet have kept mum about this scandalous state of affairs speaks volumes about their complicity in serious criminal abuse of power.SPINING PROSTITUTING FOR NAJIB, Ibrahim Suffian, head of the polling instituteNotorious Politicians Scams & Thuggery Schemes never are punished.

[*In March 2009 it was announced in Parliament that the ACA, newly incorporated as the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission, had cleared both Musa Hassan and Gani Patail of falsifying evidence during the 1998 Anwar trial. In the light - or darkness - of recent traumatic events, I doubt anybody will believe anything the MACC says!]← UMNO’S ENCOUNTER MACHINE We hold the head of MACC responsible.

Nevertheless, “The Taking of Selangor 123”, to borrow a phrase from the box office’s recent offering, starring John Travolta and Denzel Washington, should be neither like a celluloid hostage drama nor anything as chaotic as the unfolding of the Perak constitutional crisis.In effect, any of the hypothetical situations I outlined above would be sufficient reason to NOT rock the boat of business-as-usual and wish for regime change – unless, of course, it’s the gradual variety and takes another couple of generations to materialize (which, I suppose, is more than enough time for some folks to grab everything they can and skedaddle out of here).
Having given the matter a fair amount of thought, I’ve concluded that those who support the Status Quo must somehow have learnt to filter out “inconvenient truths” that might cause them to feel some unease about propping up a cruel and criminal administration.
The first “inconvenient truth” that comes to mind about the Umno/BN regime is its insistence on heavy-handed policing of political dissent via a plethora of archaic and repressive laws – the most medievally grotesque being, of course, the Internal Security Act.
It would appear that those who continue to endorse the ISA do so out of fear – mainly, fear of losing access to ill-gotten gains which translates as “special privileges” and “racial supremacy.”
Such a stance is absolutely unjustifiable and reveals abysmal upbringing and hooliganistic attitudes. It cannot and must not be tolerated – or the result will be precisely the terrible situation we are in right now.
