• Obamacare Would Imprison Americans

Congressional health care bills would imprison Americans by forcing individuals onto government-defined pathways that implement elitist concepts of personal welfare. The stimulus bill created burdensome, intrusive structures with the Office of National Coordinator for Health Information Technology and the Health Information Research Centers. Legislation would now add over 100 new commissions and programs with similar mesmerizing titles. These bureaucracies provide the framework for boundless regulatory masterpieces constraining human freedom. Congress would allow standard government practice to transform end-of-life discussions and critical care judgments into life- ending decisions. New regulations would draw from legislative provisions, legislator speeches and popular academic experti...

• Polisario Front Threatens to Imprison Its Top Police Official for Backing Moroccan Autonomy Plan to End Sahara Conflict

International Community Urged to Protect Rights, Safety of Polisario Police Inspector General Who is Stuck in Mauritania, Unable to Rejoin Family in Refugee Camp in Tindouf Algeria WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Efforts of top Polisario police official Mustapha Salma Ould Sidi Mouloud to encourage an end of the 35-year-old Western Sahara stalemate through an autonomy solution hit a major roadblock this week.

• How Many People Does the U.S. Imprison for Drug Use, and Who Are They?

Data from the Survey of Inmates in Federal and State Correctional Facilities. 1997 are used to estimate the number of drug-law violators in U.S. prisons solely because of their drug use and not because of involvement in drug distribution or other offenses. The estimates (5,380 to 41,047) are much lower than would be implied by naively assuming that conviction for drug possession implies no involvement in drug distribution. Implied imprisonment risk per year of use is also low, perhaps an hour per year of use for marijuana, in part because expected time served is half that for those clearly involved in drug distribution.

• Treat Don't Imprison

The Monday, Aug. 8 article "Local pastors rally around Proposition 36' was refreshing. Giving the addict an opportunity to participate in a treatment program rather than prison has been a godsend for many of the recovering addicts that I know. I have been sober and in recovery for the past 20 years. I was not given that chance when I was arrested for drug related offenses 28 years ago.

• Casting aside justice: by claiming the power to imprison terrorist suspects without trial, or to send them abroad to be tortured by foreign secret police, President Bush is creating precedents that imperil the rights of U.S. citizens.

We know that no one ever seizes power with the intention of relinquishing it. Power is not a means; it is an end. One does not establish a dictatorshi...
