Washington Post Withholds Info on Secret Prisons at Government Request

Posted on August 23, 2008 in Generic medical release

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE NOVEMBER 4, 2005 4:49 PM CONTACT: Fairness and Accuracy in Reporting (FAIR) 212-633-6700 fair@frair.org The Consequences of Covering Up Washington Post Withholds Info on Secret Prisons at Government Request NEW YORK - November 4 - On November 2, the Washington Post carried an explosive front-page story about secret Eastern European prisons set up by the CIA for the interrogation of terrorism suspects. While the Post article, by reporter Dana Priest, gave readers plenty of details, it also withheld the most crucial information--the location of these secret prisons--at the request of government officials. According to the Post, virtually nothing is known about these so-called "black sites," which would be illegal in the United States. Given the abuses at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay, news that the U.S. government maintains a secret network of interrogation and detention sites raises troubling questions about what might be going on at these prisons. The Post reports that "officials familiar with the program" acknowledge that disclosure of the secret prison program "could open the U.S. government to legal challenges, particularly in foreign courts, and increase the risk of political condemnation at home and abroad." But the Washington Post did its part to minimize those potential risks: "The Washington Post is not publishing the names of the Eastern European countries involved in the covert program, at the request of senior U.S. officials. They argued that the disclosure might disrupt counterterrorism efforts in those countries and elsewhere and could make them targets of possible terrorist retaliation." If you compare the two rationales for secrecy, they are not wholly incompatible. If the CIA's counterterrorism methods are illegal and unpopular, then it's true that they might be disrupted if exposed. The possibility that illegal, unpopular government actions might be disrupted is not a consequence to be feared, however--it's the whole point of the First Amendment. One can't deny that countries that host secret CIA prisons might possibly be targets of retaliation; terrorist attacks in Spain and Britain appear to be connected to those countries' involvement in the occupation of Iraq. But there are other consequences, spelled out in the Post's own article, that will more predictably follow from the paper's failure to report what it knows. Without the basic fact of where these prisons are, it's difficult if not impossible for "legal challenges" or "political condemnation" to force them to close. As the Post notes, there has been "widespread prisoner abuse" in U.S. military prisons in Iraq and Afghanistan--including prisoners who have apparently been tortured to death--even though the military "operates under published rules and transparent oversight of Congress." Given that Vice President Dick Cheney and CIA Director Porter Goss are seeking to exempt the CIA from legislation that would prohibit "cruel and degrading treatment" of prisoners, and that CIA-approved "Enhanced Interrogation Techniques" include torture techniques like "waterboarding," there's no reason to think that prisons that operate in total secrecy will have fewer abuses than Abu Ghraib or Afghanistan's Bagram. Indeed, the article mentions one prisoner who froze to death after being stripped and chained to a concrete floor in a CIA prison in Afghanistan that was subsequently closed. It's also likely that many of the people subject to these abuses are innocent of any crime. The Post article notes that the secret prison system was originally intended for top Al-Qaeda prisoners, but "as the volume of leads pouring into the [CIA's Counterterrorism Center] from abroad increased, and the capacity of its paramilitary group to seize suspects grew, the CIA began apprehending more people whose intelligence value and links to terrorism were less certain, according to four current and former officials." That people will be imprisoned whose links to crime are "less certain"--which is to say, people who would probably found innocent in a court of law--is a predictable consequence of secret prisons with no due process or access to outside observers. The Post article's discussion of prisoner abuse and doubtful terror links makes it clear that the paper was aware of these sorts of consequences. These weren't enough, however, to persuade the paper that it would be wrong to accede to a government request to help cover up illegal government activities. (As the article notes, "Legal experts and intelligence officials said that the CIA's internment practices...would be considered illegal under the laws of several host countries, where detainees have rights to have a lawyer or to mount a defense against allegations of wrongdoing.") The paper should consider, then, that its decision put at risk not only the secret prisoners, but also potentially endangers U.S. soldiers and civilians. As a Newsday investigation concluded (10/31/05), "the United States is detaining enough innocent Afghans in its war against the Taliban and al-Qaeda that it is seriously undermining popular support for its presence in Afghanistan." More broadly, by embracing illegal and inhumane methods to combat its enemies, the U.S. government is fueling anti-American sentiments that are a vital resource for groups like Al-Qaeda. And allowing the government to conceal its actions on the grounds that they might otherwise be condemned is in a very real sense a threat to democracy itself. The Post's decision has struck some experts as enormously significant. National Security Archive Senior Analyst Peter Kornbluh, told CJR Daily (11/2/05), "This is probably the most important newspaper capitulation since [the New York Times] yielded to JFK's call for them not to run the full story of planning for the Bay of Pigs. By withholding the country names, the Post is directly enabling the rendition, secret detention, and torture of prisoners at these locations to continue. That is a ghastly responsibility." But the Post is not the only U.S. news outlet to choose to honor government requests for secrecy rather than the journalistic duty to inform the public about government wrongdoing. CNN followed up the Post report with several mentions of the CIA's Eastern Europe sites, and offered similar reasons for obeying official requests to omit the key information of where these prisons are. CNN reporter David Ensor said (11/2/05), "U.S. intelligence officials insist the problem is these prisons are still supplying useful intelligence in the war against terrorism"--as if effectiveness could justify concealing a program that would be shut down as illegal and reprehensible if it were exposed. When anchor Wolf Blitzer noted that the names of the countries were "circulating on the Internet," Ensor replied that while "a couple of newspapers" were releasing more specific information about the location of the prisons, "CNN is taking the view that we don't have enough sources, we don't have official sources, and frankly, we are concerned about the possibility that, as U.S. officials have said to us, lives could be as stake." Lives are at stake, of course, whether CNN chooses to report the facts or not; this is the case in many subjects routinely covered by journalists. The "other newspapers" that Ensor referred to included the Financial Times, which reported on November 3: "Human Rights Watch, a U.S. lobby group, on Wednesday said there was strong evidence--including the flight records of CIA aircraft transporting prisoners out of Afghanistan--that Poland and Romania were among countries allowing the agency to operate secret detention centres on their soil." Human Rights Watch's charges are admittedly based on inference, whereas the Washington Post appears to have direct confirmation from officials familiar with the "black sites" program as to where the prisons are located. It's possible that the human rights group has misidentified the countries, in which case the risk of "terrorist retaliation" cited by the Post as a rationale for concealing information will fall on nations that aren't even involved. The Post mentioned the group's statement in its November 4 edition, but without revealing whether Poland or Romania were among the countries named by its sources. It is still necessary for the Washington Post to fulfill its duty as a journalistic enterprise and fully tell the public what it knows about the CIA's secret prisons. ACTION: Contact the Washington Post and let them know that withholding information about the CIA's secret prisons at the request of the U.S. government was the wrong journalistic decision.

Welcome to the HealthCare Outsourcing and Medical Tourism Blog

Posted on August 21, 2008 in Medical care

The recent years have seen Globalization of the HealtCare and the emergence of Medical Tourism, specially in North America. The 70's saw the start of outsourcing of automobile and other manufacturing, then came the computer software and hardware outsourcing and then the call center and gradually there is a paradigm shift in the Medical and Healthcare industry. Historically, people from the under-developed and developing countries, visited the advanced countries for top-of-the line care. Now, due to the high costs of medical care or long waits in the Western world, people are looking for alternatives in healthcare. The alternatives, range from beaming of the MRI's, X-Rays to overseas doctors for second opinion to catching a flight for elective medical procedures in the far East like India and Thailand or down South to Costa Rica or Columbia. Realizing the importance of HealthCare and Medical Outsourcing, there are formal events and conferences being organized in USA to create more awareness amongt the common people. Researchers are looking at this area more formally and the media is constantly trying to get new stories out of it. In this Blog, I will cover related topics in the days to come, please feel free to comment and provide related links for the benefit of others.

Warning Labels

Mr. Jones writes, "There will soon be no product sold on the market that doesn't include warning labels." Soon? I would, in fact, venture to guess that the text-messaging device in question already had a warning card in the box, including the ever-popular "do not immerse" and slyly tempting "batteries should not be disposed of in flames." I bought chain once, stainless steel links of three-eighths inch thick metal and with a pull-test strength in the thousands of pounds, which said that it wasn't to be used for playground equipment, towing, pulleys or lifting heavy weights (there might have been more on the list, I lost track and I probably voided the warranty by not keeping the list. Oh, and by using the chain for playground equipment). What was I supposed to use it for, interior decoration?

Drug Coupons = Legalized Drug Pushing-Pure and Simple

Posted on August 01, 2008 in Erectile dysfunction drugs

Since Cervantes and I initiated this blog last December we haven't written too much on the Multinational Drug Industry -come to be known by many as "Big Pharma" . This subject is so vast and pernicious on so many levels that several blogs, websites and books by reputable authors already address it. Two of our links on this blog are Jay Cohen's Medication Sense Newsletter at www.medicationsense.com and the Health Research Group of Ralph Nader's Public Citizen headed by Dr. Sidney Wolfe. Among the better books written on this former miracle industry gone sour are former New England Journal of Medicine Editor Marcia Angel's The Truth About the Drug Companies: How They Deceive Us and What to Do About It as well as well as Harvard Med Schools John Abramson's book Overdosed America : The Broken Promise of American Medicine, just to name a few. Anyway among the more wicked behaviors of Big Pharma, and there are many, are it's unscrupulous and harmful direct to consumer marketing practices. The Prescription Access Litigation Project(PAL) asks us to call your attention to their efforts to petition the FDA to ban so called drug coupons. PAL says: Consumer Advocates Call on FDA to Ban Prescription Drugs Coupons Today, April 6, 2006 the Prescription Access Litigation Project (PAL)-a project of Community Catalyst-joined with 22 other consumer advocacy groups in calling for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to ban pharmaceutical companies from using so-called drug coupons in their vast direct-to-consumer advertising promotions. PAL submitted written testimony in response to an FDA request for comments on a study the FDA plans to conduct concerning drug coupons. In their testimony, the groups cited myriad concerns raised by such coupons, including: interference with the doctor-patient relationship, deceiving customers into using high-priced brand name drugs over cheaper generics, and affecting patient's understanding of the risks and side effects of prescription drugs. "Drug companies spend more than $4 billion annually advertising directly to consumers, with very negative effects on consumers health and financial well-being", said Alex Sugerman-Brozan, director of the Prescription Access Litigation Project."Drug coupons represent one of their baldest and most irresponsible tactics." Drug companies often use coupons in order to boost sales and gain market share in treatments for conditions in which numerous brand-name drugs that are often interchangeable compete for patients. Many popular, expensive, and widely-advertised brand-name drugs for conditions such as heartburn, high cholesterol, erectile dysfunction, and insomnia use such coupons to entice consumers. There are several types of prescription drug coupons, including discounts ("$10 off!"). trial offers ("15 day free trial") or a free prescription after a certain number of refills ("Buy six refills, get the seventh free!"). Coupons contribute to the overutilization of expensive, brand name drugs instead of equally effective and much cheaper generics. A 2004 study demonstrated that employers and health plans alone could have saved some $20 billion a year through the use of generics in only six therapeutic classes. "Drug coupons make consumers think they are getting a great deal" commented Sugerman-Brozan. "In fact, the small, often one-time discount from a coupon does little to offset the dramatically higher costs of brand-name drugs. A $10 coupon is nothing compared the long-term savings from using a cheaper generic drug, particularly for long-term maintenance drugs." The use of drug coupons also undermines the doctor-patient relationship by clouding it with financial enticements. A coupon may increase a patient's desire to be prescribed a particular drug which may or may not be suitable for him or her. Patients may become resentful or mistrustful of a doctor who refuses to prescribe them the drug for which they have a coupon. "Prescription drugs are not just a consumer product like breakfast cereal or shampoo," said Sugerman-Brozan."But using coupons to sell drugs treats them like they are. Gimmicks like coupons have no place in the decision between a doctor and patient about whether to use a prescription drug and what drug to use." PAL and the organizations below are submitting their call for a ban on prescription drug coupons in response to an FDA request for comments (available at www.fda.gov/ohrms/dockets/dockets/06n0029/06n-0029-n000001.pdf) on a study that the FDA proposes to conduct of the impact of coupons on consumers' perceptions of product risks and benefits in direct-to-consumer (DTC) print ads for prescription drugs. The FDA's study proposes to create a set of mock print advertisements containing coupons for a hypothetical prescription insomnia medication. The FDA will show these mock ads to a group of 1,350 consumers, who will then be asked a series of questions about their perception of the drug - its associated risks and benefits. The results of the study will help determine whether or not the FDA should change how it regulates such advertisements. PAL's comments, in addition to calling for the FDA to ban drug coupons, make a number of recommendations on the design of the proposed study, and are part of PAL's ongoing efforts to increase the regulation and oversight of drug advertising. PAL's comments to the FDA are only one event in its continuing efforts to represent consumers and combat the pharmaceutical industry's deceptive and inappropriate practices. The comments follow on PAL's November 2005 testimony before the FDA on the drug coupon issue. On Wednesday 26 April at 2 p.m. Eastern, PAL will present its second annual Bitter Pill Awards . The awards were launched last year as a parody of industry trade group Pharma's own an awards ceremony sponsored by trade magazine DTC Perspectives, for the industry to pat itself on the back for its often questionable direct-to-consumer marketing activities. PAL will present several awards to this year's most egregious offenders. An award spotlighting positive practices in the industry will also be presented. PAL is joined in its call for a ban on Rx drug coupons by:

Positive commentary...

Posted on July 29, 2008 in Erectile dysfunction

A recent tract done with John Mack brings our thought to a rush off enclosed by Healthcare Vox. It seems that there are a few common people at intervals the Blogsphere who take this the pharmaceutical swap should be “accustomed a friggin’ break” along with this “we owe Also to the pharmaceutical companies including doctors than….the idiot politicos additionally journos who fight them.” Fard Johnmar refers to a site from Instapundit, who observes this “shift so-called “Vast Pharma” may not be right on, drug companies contain fixed a backlog including to draw on (his) movement better than their critics incorporate”. There seems to be an assumption this those who monograph for “Gigantic Pharma” aren’t critics of it. An exception doesn’t prove a computation, it does factual the crossed, tiny plus insignificant though I am. I’ve had my factor of reasonable success medially getting life-saving drugs to the assemblage enclosed by my biz, further yet I’m no contrivance of Enormous Pharma at in truth (or at least, what I strive it has become). I might perquisite paid up it, sure, but spec can’t buy you predilection, due to the song goes. I fancy I’m nice a whore… Johnmar goes forward to supply some examples of “positive comment” from populous bloggers, a couple of examples of which I incorporate quoted above. “ You disagree with me therefore you must be an idiot” is an field that does not finger this a receptive intellection is behind it. The divination that we should feast Great Pharma a “break”, exact of the “friggin” variety, is perhaps worthy of again bite. Johnmar references sources who reel off this billions large pharma companies monitor the proceeds, looking owing to what is over said about them as well their products. Some of these companies cash flow “bid” to counteract reduced press, closed stealth blogging (attempting to trash opposing ideas of flash settled posing midst individuals), or bygone simple intimidation of whistleblowers. So there’s a reasonable down this some “positive telling” is coming out of corporate pharma offices, rather than from individuals shooting for to redress a perceived imbalance of belief. Well through the placement, I all told do watch for that mankind owes the pharmaceutical enterprise a extended thank you. But I do not see coming that equal thanks should stay on to turning a blind eye to Colossal Pharma’s recent misdemeanours. Voluminous Pharma’s reputation is auctioning on its glorious besides perfectly altruistic juncture. Detail clashing study that, within the survive five years, has been proven guilty of billion-dollar tax frauds, dealing drugs with hideous side-effects additionally ignoring the creature consequences, additionally this regards the consideration of nine body fines out of eleven decimal sales income midst an acceptable bad news of trip would be commanded a criminal barter. Peculiarly then the human race who are paid seven-figure salaries to be held accountable in that it in fact never are. Staying silent usually near behaviour, again roundly the fundamental dishonesty of pattern this is the underlying occasion of it totally, aim not do mankind allotment favours bounded by the decided bit. So here’s to the “idiot” journos. Maintain fortuitous blogging Also blowing those whistles. Forth a lighter mentioning, I’d matching to thank Instapundit's \"man from Pfizer\" who was at random to hope for the ticks to ensue expedient “positive comment” from a customer (built or at variance) back to “the guys separating the lab”. Here at Phoni, R & D could resort to additionally “researchers” rolled him. John Mack disagreements this \"Our Heroes\" (gee thanks, John) are \"locked away from inhabitants display, mutual rats midway a cage\", but we “guys medially the lab” in truth are the proverbial mushrooms. Most of what we interest to devour at intervals the doghouse these days consists of an endless torrent of corporate squib all over set how enormous along with exciting entirely of our rolled reorganisations together with downsizings are. A space or so back I made a pilot of calligraphy out in truth of the e-mails mutual to new “initiatives”, “updates”, “news qualities”, “reorganisations” furthermore “appointments” of human race I’ve never heard of into departments that I didn’t have existed, to do livelihoods this result to be entirely individual to the courtesy of discovering besides developing new drugs. Five lastingness’s title of this hand over came to 284 printed links. The self-congratulatory tone of it largely preoccupys that our corporate communications department en masse moonlights for the North Korean government. (Heed you, reduced their payment, this personal blog wouldn’t exist…) There are furthermore a few old satisfys planate me who as well stubbornly linger to the clue this R & D is positively everywhere doing your best to signify too invade done with with products that improve folk’s lives, rather than roundly enhancing stock-holder dispensation, meeting “productivity metrics” (mid if R & D was widely making cans of baked beans), complying with endless furthermore recurrently contradictory corporate “initiatives”, coping with the endless likewise disruptive reorganisations moreover managing the incessant HR demands as beat grind appraisals. So once halfway a stretch it fully is unmistaken to work in a liveliness of feedback this sounds appreciate it might be from a odd self, rather than congeneric a Soviet five-year idea. Precise if it is from the consonant associating.
