- Is Posse Comitatus Dead? US Troops on US Streets
In a barely noticed development, a US Army unit is now training for domestic operations under the control of US Army North, the Army service component of Northern Command. An initial news report in the Army Times newspaper last month noted that in addition to emergency response the force "may be called upon to help with civil unrest and crowd control." The military has since claimed the force will not be used for civil unrest, but questions remain. We speak to Army Col. Michael Boatner, future operations division chief of USNORTHCOM, and Matthew Rothschild, editor of The Progressive magazine.

- Suppose you use Gmail or Yahoo! mail. If the government wants to see your e-mail, it can have the warrant served on that company. Of course, the service provider has to respond to the warrant, just as you would if the feds came to your house. The difference is that the company decides whether to resist the court order, not you. You are supposed to be informed within 90 days, but in practice you may never know. E-mail stored elsewhere really isn't yours.

Don't sit back while our national debate is hijacked by pigs, lipstick and tabloid gossip. Our nation's challenges are too big to spend the next two months talking about small things. Join us here to help re-focus our national debate on the issues that matter most to most Americans.

- Whomever the next president is, he will have to confront economic, human rights, national security and environmental issues on a global scale. It isn't just the financial sector that has gone planetary - it is everything. And that gives progressives the opportunity to expand the political discussion to the one issue that ties all of these together: International trade.
This is the subject of the newest Op-Ad in the New York Times by the Institute for America's Future. It is part of the Institute's op-ad campaign demanding a presidential debate worthy of a great nation - and it is a campaign you can help spread the word about.
