DOJ Accused of Stalling on MOVE Act for Voters in Military
Posted by Jack Sinclair in Law, News on 28/Jul/2010 21:45
Oct. 26, 2004: U.S. Army Sgt. George Scheufele prepares to mail in his completed absentee ballot after voting in the American Presidential and Congressional election while at Camp Eagle in the battle-torn Sadr City neighborhood of Baghdad, Iraq.
“The Department of Justice is ignoring a new law aimed at protecting the right of American soldiers to vote, according to two former DOJ attorneys who say states are being encouraged to use waivers to bypass the new federal Military and Overseas Voter Empowerment (MOVE) Act.
The MOVE Act, enacted last October, ensures that servicemen and women serving overseas have ample time to get in their absentee ballots. The result of the DOJ’s alleged inaction in enforcing the act, say Eric Eversole and J. Christian Adams — both former litigation attorneys for the DOJ’s Voting Section — could be that thousands of soldiers’ ballots will arrive too late to be counted.”

Two views on McChrystal’s firing – through the eyes of business leaders
Posted by Jack Sinclair in News, Opinion on 25/Jun/2010 01:48
Clint Greenleaf, Founder and CEO, Greenleaf Book Group
“First off, lets be honest. It’s not accepting a resignation, it’s firing the general for one specific comment made (and several from unnamed sources who work for him).
The specific comment wasn’t bad. It was what McChrystal thought was accurate — that the president doesn’t know as much as he should about the war. True or not, I don’t think he was out of line at all. In fact, he tried to make the same point to Obama during their first meeting.
I have the highest respect for our military and think the president made a huge mistake. It makes him look petty and insecure that he can’t handle someone who disagrees with him.
“As a CEO, I relish an opportunity to hear what my staff really thinks. Especially when it comes from a respected person who is good at what they do.
Anyone who has met me knows I’m not perfect — and my staff isn’t there to hide my flaws from me. They work with me to show me where I can improve, and if that means calling me out when I make a mistake, I want to hear about it. Even if it’s in public, and even if it makes me look like I made a mistake.
“The real question is, what is more important? To make the right decisions for the country or to try to protect the image of our leader?”
Rob Adams, Director, Global Moot Corp Program at the University of Texas
“I think the context needs to be set here — this is a military organization with an established chain of command that follows orders from the top.
All the commentary on the situation pointed to those in the military understanding this and expecting severe action, and those more on the commercial side expecting lass harsh action.
The real question is, What would McChrystal have done to those reporting to him in the same situation? I suspect similar treatment to what Obama did.”
The bottom line for President Obama was, “I welcome debate among my team, but I won’t tolerate division.”

Spy Planes Didn’t Help Catch Bomber?
Danger Room reports that military signal intelligence planes were not used to catch Faisal Shahzad. Those planes have been used before over United States airspace though.
New Bomber Back From The Dead
The Defense Department has decided to resurrect a program for designing a new long range bomber. Could this be in response to the fact that Russia just unveiled their new stealth fighter?
In a press conference yesterday, Gates said the newly unveiled Quadrennial Defense Review (QDR) renewed emphasis on the military’s need to counter “disruptive, high-tech capabilities” developed by future adversaries.
