On Salon, Glenn Greenwald discusses the Obama administration’s position that it can use a prison in Afghanistan to hold enemy combatants without judicial review, just as the Bush administration did at Gitmo.

David Neiwert discusses Glenn Beck promoting the idea that liberals are the true fascists. This includes Beck asserting that Henry Ford—an ardent Hitler supporter who received some of the Reich’s highest awards for his support for their war machine—was a great anti-fascist because he opposed Roosevelt.

Locavore reports that agribusiness is having shrieking fits over Michelle Obama’s plans for an organic garden (”I shudder” was one opponent’s comment) and urging them to use “crop protection products” (pesticides) instead.

On an entirely unrelated note, I just sold a short story, “The Love That Moves the Sun” to All-Fantasy Anthology. This is the story I’ve had out the longest (three years now) so I’m delighted it found a home.
