| Anniversary of Obama's Announcement of Troop Withdrawal from Iraq: U.S. Considers Extentiion Past December 31 as Violence Spikes | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 19 Aug 2011 DemocracyNow.org - It was one year ago today that the Obama administration officially announced it was pulling the last full U.S. combat brigade from Iraq. Today, roughly 46,000 U.S. troops remain in the country, along with more than 64,000 private contractors. This week, as Iraq suffers its deadliest violence of the year there is increasing speculation that the Obama administration will extend its occupation of the war-ravaged nation. Earlier this month, the Iraqi government authorized talks on whether to approve keeping thousands of U.S. troops in Iraq beyond a withdrawal deadline of December 31. Democracy Now! speaks to Raed Jarrar, an Iraqi-American blogger and political analyst based in Washington, D.C., who was in Iraq two weeks ago.

| New Human Rights Watch Report: War Crimes in Somalia | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 17 Aug 2011 DemocracyNow.org - A new report by Human Rights Watch accuses all sides in the Somali conflict of committing war crimes. The report, "'You Don't Know Who to Blame': War Crimes in Somalia," calls on all sides to immediately end abuses against civilians, hold those responsible to account, and ensure access to aid and free movement of people fleeing conflict and drought. The report is highly critical of the Islamist group al-Shabab, as well as the U.S.-backed Somali Transitional Federal Government and the African Union peacekeeping forces. Human Rights Watch is calling on the United States and other international donors to withhold financial and military aid to the Somali transitional government, unless the government sets clear benchmarks for the respect of international humanitarian and human rights law and accountability for serious abuses. Democracy Now! reports on the connection between the conflict and the devastating famine, interviewing Rona Peligal, deputy director of the Africa division for Human Rights Watch.

| A Debate: Should the U.S. Approve TransCanada's Keystone XL Tar Sands Oil Pipeline? | |
| Uploaded by democracynow on 19 Aug 2011 DemocracyNow.org - Thousands of environmental activists from across the continent plan to gather in Washington, D.C., tomorrow to launch a two-week protest against the proposed Keystone XL pipeline that would carry tar sands oil from Alberta, Canada, to U.S. oil refineries Gulf of Mexico. The massive pipeline would cross the Yellowstone River, as well as the Ogallala Aquifer, the largest freshwater aquifer in the United States. Environmentalists plan to hold sit-ins and other acts of civil disobedience outside the White House everyday in order to pressure the Obama administration as it decides whether to approve the pipeline's construction. Supporters of the pipeline say the pipeline will create some 20,000 construction jobs, and the company behind it, TransCanada, has already signed agreements to employ the members of four international unions if the project is approved. Last month, the Republican-controlled House passed a measure that would force a decision on the Keystone XL by November 1. As the Obama administration faces industry pressure on one side and sustained grassroots protest on the other, Democracy Now! hosts a debate between Cindy Schild, the Refining Issues Manager at the American Petroleum Institute, and Jane Kleeb, executive director of Bold Nebraska, a group taking part in the Washington protests.

| Anonymous takes on BART over cell phone shut down: Animated Taiwan-style | |
| Uploaded by NMAWorldEdition on 18 Aug 2011 http://www.nma.tv In July, BART police shot dead a homeless man wielding a knife. Some questioned whether lethal force was warranted. To thwart a protest, BART officials temporarily shut down cell phone coverage in stations. The move attracted the ire of Anonymous. The hacker group broke into myBART.org and publicized personal info of BART users. An Anonymous protest also caused service disruption, but the group denied a second hack exposing BART cops' personal info. No matter who wins the war between the two, it seems commuters will continue to be collateral damage. | |
