Torture Used to Seek Saddam/Al Qaeda Link
The Bush administration put relentless pressure on interrogators to use harsh methods on detainees in part to find evidence of cooperation between al Qaida and the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein's regime, according to a former senior U.S. intelligence official and a former Army psychiatrist. Such information would've provided a foundation for one of former President George W. Bush's main arguments for invading Iraq in 2003. No evidence has ever been found of operational ties between Osama bin Laden's terrorist network and Saddam's regime.

McMaken: Tax Protests Were Weak Tea
Ryan McMaken: The Tea Party movement is clearly a "Conservative" movement in its membership and core philosophy, and therefore it is not surprising that many of the very same people who now loudly claim to oppose government spending and taxation, were the very same people who, for the last eight years, had been cheerleaders for one of the most profligate administrations in American history. And yet, here they were at the Tea Party, pretending to be principled opponents of government power.

World's Rivers Losing Flow
The flow of water in the world's largest rivers has declined over the past half-century, with significant changes found in about a third of the big rivers. An analysis of 925 major rivers from 1948 to 2004 showed an overall decline in total discharge. The reduction in inflow to the Pacific Ocean alone was equal to shutting off the Mississippi River, according to a study appearing in the American Meteorological Society's Journal of Climate.

Niman: Pirates, Bankers and Libertarians
Michael I. Niman: For Ron Paul's growing legion of dope-addled contradictarian libertarians, Somalia is like nirvana. There are no taxes. No public education. No national healthcare. No national debt. No labor laws. No environmental laws. No business regulations. No unions. No import or export restrictions. No meddlesome big governmentor small government for that matter. And everyone smokes khat, which is a leafy plant that temporarily deludes its users into feeling as if their problems are gone. Somalia, a country that hasn't had an operating central government since 1991, is a libertarian Republican's wet dream, where entrepreneurs can grow their businesses unfettered by laws and regulations.

Brothels Feeling Squeezed
In Germany and other places where prostitution is legal, the economic downturn has led some brothels to cut prices, add free promotions or even a flat rate. Free shuttle buses, discounts for seniors and taxi drivers, as well as "day passes" are among marketing strategies designed to keep business going. Berlin's Pussy Club offers a 70-Euro package from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.: "You can eat as much as you want, drink as much as you want and have as much sex as you want," said the club manager.

Miss California: 'God Was Testing My Faith'
Carrie Prejean, who as Miss California was runner-up at the Miss USA beauty pagaent, said that she "dreaded" the prospect of being asked about gay marriage -- which happened when she randomly picked judge Perez Hilton's question. "I had a gut feeling. I knew he was controversial, and so was the question. Out of all the topics I studied up on, I dreaded that one, I prayed I would not be asked about gay marriage. If I had any other question, I know I would have won."

Pesticides Linked to Parkinson's
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, have provided strong new evidence linking at least some cases of Parkinson's disease to exposure to pesticides. Researchers have suspected for some time that pesticides may cause the neurodegenerative disorder, and experiments in animals have shown that the chemicals, particularly the fungicide maneb and the herbicide paraquat, can cause Parkinson's-like symptoms in animals. But proving it in humans has been difficult because of problems in assessing exposure to the agents. Parkinson's is a disorder of the central nervous system that often impairs the sufferer's motor skills, speech and other functions. It is not fatal of itself, but complications often are. As many as 180 of every 100,000 Americans develop it.

Dow Drops 290 on Bank Worries
Long-present unease about soured loans bubbled over on Monday after Bank of America said it set aside $13.4 billion to cover lending losses, even as it posted a profit for the first quarter, and as anxiety grew about the results of the government's "stress tests" to determine if banks will need more government bailout money. While Bank of America and other big banks like Citigroup have fared better so far this year than many believed they would, nervousness is growing now over the massive losses from defaulting loans that are yet to come. The Dow Jones industrial average fell 290 points, or 3.6%, to 7,841.73 -- the biggest Dow drop since early March.
