Peace Corps Online The Independent News Forum serving
Returned Peace Corps Volunteers Dodd vows to filibuster
Surveillance ActSenator Chris Dodd vowed to filibuster the
Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act that would grant
retroactive immunity to telecommunications companies that
helped this administration violate the civil liberties of
Americans. "It is time to say: No more. No more trampling on
our Constitution. No more excusing those who violate the
rule of law. These are fundamental\, basic\, eternal
principles. They have been around\, some of them\, for as
long as the Magna Carta. They are enduring. What they are
not is temporary. And what we do not do in a time where our
country is at risk is abandon them." What is Wrong at
the US Embassy in Bolivia?Last summer Peace Corps Inspector
General David Kotz cited the lack of cooperation from the
US embassy in Bolivia in the search for missing Peace Corps
Volunteer Walter Poirier III. Now a member of the US
Embassy Staff in Bolivia is accused of asking Peace Corps
Volunteers "to basically spy" on Cubans and Venezuelans in
the country. Could US Ambassador Philip S.Goldberg please
explain what is going on at the embassy that he has been
running in La Paz since 2006? January 12\, 2008: This

U.S. Peace Corps has evacuated 35 of its volunteers from
western Kenya because of the violence that has rocked the
country since the disputed December 27 presidential
election. The Peace Corps has 144 volunteers based in
Kenya\, although the organization says 22 of them are
currently out of the country. An agency statement says the
remaining volunteers have been consolidated in a variety of
locations. Latest News: Peace Corps says volunteers in
Kenya remain safe. What is the greatest threat facing us
now? "People will say it's terrorism. But are there any
terrorists in the world who can change the American way of
life or our political system? No. Can they knock down a
building? Yes. Can they kill somebody? Yes. But can they
change us? No. Only we can change ourselves. So what is the
great threat we are facing? I would approach this
differently\, in almost Marshall-like terms. What are the
great opportunities out there - ones that we can take
advantage of?" Read more.
