He accuses President Obama of using "stealth signing statements" on a number of occasions. ----- Pulitzer Prize-winning historian Garry Wills examines how the atomic bomb transformed our nation down to its deepest constitutional roots -- by dramatically increasing the power of the modern presidency and redefining the government as a national security state -- in ways still felt today. A masterful reckoning from one of America's preeminent historians, Bomb Power draws a direct line from the Manhattan Project to the usurpations of George W. Bush. The invention of the atomic bomb was a triumph of official secrecy and military discipline -- the project was covertly funded at the behest of the president and, despite its massive scale, never discovered by Congress or the press. This concealment was perhaps to be expected in wartime, but Wills persuasively argues that the Manhattan Project then became a model for the covert operations and overt authority that have defined American government in the nuclear era. The wartime emergency put in place during World War II extended into the Cold War and finally the war on terror, leaving us in a state of continuous war alert for 68 years and counting <b>...</b> |

In a posting on his blog, the transport minister said he was forced to do this because the central committee members had shot down his proposal during a meeting this afternoon to hold the polls. "I had proposed to have fresh polls to seek a fresh mandate from the party, especially since the outcome of the (previous) EGM was inconclusive and indicated that the grassroots were divided. The best way out of this situation is to seek the re-affirmation of the MCA leadership." Ong was earlier expected to tell the central committee, its highest decision-making body, whether he will quit or fight on against his rival Dr Chua Soi Lek, who had served as the party's deputy president. But instead he called for the EGM to decide on fresh leadership polls, just a year after the last round. Full story here: www.malaysiakini.com |
