From 1986 until mid-1999, prices generally fluctuated within a $10 to $20 per barrel band, but alarms sounded when market prices started hovering above $30. 1 In July 2001, Senator Arlen Specter addressed the Senate regarding the need to confront OPEC and urged President Bush to file an International Court of Justice case against the organization, on the basis that perceived antitrust violations were a breach of “general principles of law.” 2 Prices dipped initially, but began a precipitous rise in mid-March 2002. -

Historical” Nixon Tapes”, President Richard Nixon, Washington Post and the New York Times, and Dan Elsberg
Historical” Nixon Tapes”, President Richard Nixon, Washington Post and The New York Times, and Dan Elsberg NIXON TAPES: "Get the Son of a B*tch" Ellsberg (Pentagon Papers) President Richard Nixon talks with his Attorney General John Mitchell about the leaked secret government documents about the Vietnam War, the Pentagon Papers. They first discuss the position of FBI director J. Edgar Hoover, who did not want to investigate the leaker, Daniel Ellsberg, because of his friendship with Ellsberg's father-in-law. Nixon descries some of the "softheads" in his administration who want him to go easy on Ellsberg. He notes that they need to "get the son of a b*tch" or else "wholesale thievery" would happen all over the government. The president feels that the P.R. might not be bad on their part, because people don't like thieves.

Indictment for Torture”: George W
PRELIMINARY “INDICTMENT FOR TORTURE”: GEORGE W. BUSH BROUGHT PURSUANT TO THE CONVENTION AGAINST TORTURE* * The present document is a modified version of an individual criminal complaint prepared for submission against George W. BUSH in anticipation of his visit to Geneva, Switzerland on 12 February 2011. The individual criminal complaint brought on behalf of an individual plaintiff was not filed, as planned, on 7 February 2011 because of the announcement, on the eve of the filing, that BUSH cancelled his trip. Factual details regarding that visit, as a basis for establishing BUSH’s presence in Switzerland and the inclusion of analysis of Swiss law is reflective of the origins of this document. This document is not intended to serve as a comprehensive presentation of all evidence against BUSH for torture; rather, it presents the fundamental aspects of the case against him, and a preliminary legal analysis of liability for torture, and a response to certain anticipated defenses. This document will be updated and modified as developments warrant. I. FACTUAL BACKGROUND A. George W. BUSH 1. George W. BUSH was born on 6 July 1946, in New Haven, Connecticut, United States. From 20 January 2001- 20 January 2009, BUSH served as president of the United States of America and Commander in Chief of the United States Armed Forces. Pursuant to Article II of the United States Constitution, executive power was vested in BUSH, as president of the United States. Upon assuming office, BUSH took an oath to ―preserve, protect and defend‖ the Constitution of the United States. 2. In his capacity as president of the United States of America and Commander in Chief, BUSH had authority over the agencies of the United States government involved in the torture program, including but not limited to, the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Department of Defense (DOD), the Department of Justice (DOJ), the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), the Department of State (DOS), the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) as well as over the White House and Office of the Vice President. -
How Courageous Followers Stand up to Destructive Leadership a Thesis
Breaking Toxic Triangles: How Courageous Followers stand up to Destructive Leadership A Thesis Presented to the Swinburne University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the award of: DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY 2020 by Alain Marc Mario de Sales Principal Co-Ordinating Supervisor : Dr. Samir Shrivastava Associate Supervisor : Prof. Christopher Selvarajah Associate Supervisor : Prof. Timothy Moore Abstract Instances of Destructive Leadership abound. It is a growing phenomenon with very real consequences and yet it remains under-researched. The scant work that exists on Destructive Leadership tends to focus on leaders and generally discounts the role of followers. Responding to calls for models which recognise that outcomes are often co-created by leaders and followers, this study explores how followers stand up to leaders to mitigate destructive outcomes. This study anchors its arguments to the Toxic Triangle framework (Padilla 2013), which focuses on the confluence of Destructive Leaders, Susceptible Followers, and Conducive Environments. The insights from this study augment the Toxic Triangle by adding Courageous Followers to the framework. Using Power and Structuration theories as theoretical lenses, the study analyses the discursive actions undertaken by Courageous Followers to shift the power balance while attempting to collapse the Toxic Triangle. The study analyses twelve longitudinal episodes from three cases of Destructive Leadership that spanned decades. Given that the cases entailed shifts in power balance and the fact that discourse and power are said to be indistinguishable from each other and mutually constitute each other, the study adopted Critical Discourse Analysis (CDA) as a method. CDA explored the tension between agency and structure as the power balance shifted. -

EDT MR. FLEISCHER: Good afternoon. I'll give you a report on the President's day, and then I have a couple brief statements I need to make. The President began today with a CIA briefing, which was followed by an FBI briefing. And then the President convened a meeting of his Cabinet. You have the record of the statement the President made about the strength of the economy, and he discussed the newly-released numbers from the Commerce Department about growth in the economy and the revised estimates. The President, later today, is going to meet with Republican senators to discuss the prospects for passage of trade promotion authority this week, before the Senate leaves. The President remains hopeful that the Senate will be able to pass trade promotion authority -- this meeting is part of the effort to make certain that the Senate does, indeed, pass it. And then, finally, the President, later this afternoon, will meet with Republican senators to discuss homeland security and the prospects for passage of legislation in the Senate to create the new Cabinet-level department of homeland security. -

WHY DIDN'T NIXON BURN THE TAPES? . 1778 V. VICE PRESIDENT FORD AND THE PARDON ........ 1780 I. INTRODUCTION For almost two years, from early 1973 to September, 1974, Watergate dominated the nation's consciousness. On a daily basis it was on the front pages-usually the headline; in the news magazines-usually the cover story; on the television news-usually the lead. Washington, D.C., a town that ordinarily is obsessed by the future and dominated by predictions about what the President and Congress will do next, was obsessed by the past and dominated by questions about what Richard Nixon had done and why he had done it. Small wonder: Watergate was the political story of the century. Since 1974, Watergate has been studied and commented on by reporters, television documentary makers, historians, and others. These commentators have had an unprecedented amount of material with which to work, starting with the tapes, the documentary record of the Nixon Administration, other material in the Nixon Presidential Materials Project, plus the transcripts of the various congressional hearings, the courtroom testimony of the principal actors, and the memoirs of the participants. -
