Fighting Drugs/Fighting Terror (The Connection - Feb 13, 2002)

http://www.theconnection.org/archive/2002/02/0213b.shtml

"Reefer Madness" might be the first American anti-drug commercial.
The 1936 movie was meant to warn young people about "a violent narcotic,
an unspeakable scourge, The Real Public Enemy Number One!" Whether it ever
dissuaded a druggie, it did succeed in provoking generations of pot smokers
to hilarity. Today the challenge for parents, teachers and government officials
remains finding effective ways to get across a simple message: "drugs -
bad." Just last week at the Super Bowl, the White House Office of National
Drug Control Policy paid millions on a new strategy: linking the War on Drugs
and the War on Terror. From "Just say no" through "I learned
it from you, Dad" and "I helped kidnap people's dads," what works,
what doesn't?

The Politics of Enron (The Connection - Jan15, 2002)

http://www.theconnection.org/archive/2002/01/0115a.shtml

They're circling like vultures, and with good reason. The House Energy Committee,
Senate Governmental Affairs, House Financial Services and more. Plus a special
task force of the Justice Department, the S.E.C. and a herd of lawyers. They're
all crowding around to carve into the bankrupt carcass of Enron. The huge energy
company made Texan-sized political donations to the President and a long list
of lawmakers from both parties. Now Enron is providing another kind of political
fodder, the grist of scandal, coming into an election year no less. But the
politicians know there's danger in the hunt, that the benefit of such a scandal
can be lost if all the public sees is birds of prey enjoying a blood bath. It's
a delicate dance in DC.

The Future of Eco-Tactics (The Connection - Jan 7, 2002)

http://www.theconnection.org/archive/2002/01/0107a.shtml

"There are terrorists living among us." So says a coalition of interest
groups including loggers, miners, farmers and developers who regularly confront
environmental activists. But are they? Are they terrorists? According to new
legislation, the brazen confrontations of the suffragists and the principled
disobedience of the civil rights movement could all be termed terrorism. This
week in California, the definition will be tested in court. The Star Wars 17,
Greenpeace activists facing felony charges for interfering with missile tests,
are going to trial in a nation where the old rules of "what was acceptable"
are out, amidst a new atmosphere of "what won't be tolerated.

Civil Liberties Balancing Act (The Connection - Nov 15, 2001)

http://www.theconnection.org/archive/2001/11/1115a.shtml

"Foreign terrorists do not deserve the protection of the American constitution"
or so says America's Attorney General as he carves away at the judicial rights
of the 100's of people who've been rounded up and locked away as possible suspects
in the nation-wide anti-terror drag-net.

Conversations with their lawyers will no longer be confidential. Military tribunals
rather than open courtrooms could be the venue for trial and sentencing. Off-shore
trials could avoid American rules.
