| Mike German & Scott Crow Discuss FBI's Expanded Domestic Surveillance Program | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 14 Jun 2011 DemocracyNow.org - Civil liberties advocates are raising alarm over news the FBI is giving agents more leeway to conduct domestic surveillance. According to the New York Times, new guidelines will allow FBI agents to investigate people and organizations "pro-actively" without firm evidence for suspecting criminal activity. Democracy Now! interviews former FBI agent Mike German, who now works at the American Civil Liberties Union. Also interviewed is Texas activist Scott Crow, who has been the focus on intense FBI surveillance from 2001 until at least 2008. Using the Freedom of Information Act, Crow received 440 pages of heavily-redacted documents revealing the FBI had set up a video camera outside his house, traced the license plates of cars parked in front of his home, recorded the arrival and departure of his guests and observed gatherings that Crow attended at bookstores and cafes. The agency also tracked Crow's emails and phone conversations and picked through his trash to identify his bank and mortgage companies. "It definitely has been traumatizing at different points," says Crow. "But if we don't come out and be open about this, then they've already won, and the surveillance and the 'War on Terror' wins against us." Watch Part 2: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DChfdfb8di0 | |

| Fred who?: Accusations of Mitt Romney Voter Fraud | |
| Uploaded by SuchIsLifeVideos on 15 Jun 2011 Did Mitt Romney commit voter fraud when he cast a ballot for Scott Brown in last year's special election in Massachusetts? On Monday, one of his lesser known opponents for the GOP presidential nomination, Fred Karger, filed a complaint with Massachusetts state election officials alleging that he voted for Brown, as well as in other Massachusetts elections, when he was not in fact a resident of the Bay State. In his complaint, Karger lays out a chronology of Romney's real estate moves since his failed presidential bid in 2008. According to Karger's timetable, Romney and his wife, Ann, bought a $12.5 million home in La Jolla, California, in May 2008. ( | |

| TEPCO Press Release: Additional 23 workers exposed to high radiation | |
| 14 Jun 2011 Additional 23 workers exposed to high radiation The health ministry says that another 23 workers at the troubled Fukushima Daiichi nuclear plant may have been exposed internally to over 100 millisieverts of radiation. The ministry on Tuesday told plant operator Tokyo Electric Power Company to immediately release the workers from duty. The ministry said keeping the employees at the plant may push their exposure over the temporary-set limit of 250 millisieverts. The government relaxed the limit for plant workers from 100 millisieverts after the nuclear accident in March as an emergency measure. The ministry also instructed TEPCO to have the 23 workers undergo medical exams. TEPCO previously announced that 2 employees were exposed to over 600 millisieverts. On Monday, the firm said that 6 more workers were thought to have been exposed to up to about 500 millisieverts. TEPCO is screening about 3,700 workers at the plant for exposure. The tests for about 600 have not been completed. The ministry is urging the firm to finish the tests by June 20th and submit the results.
