A drivers’ advocacy group is decrying the latest expansion of the District’s automated traffic enforcement program.

D.C. police activated 100 new “next-generation” traffic cameras Saturday to target a growing number of motorist violations ranging from failure to stop for pedestrians in crosswalks to blocking the box.

The new cameras boost the number of automated traffic enforcement devices operated by the Metropolitan Police Department to nearly 300 cameras — an expansion that AAA Mid-Atlantic called the “nuclear option.”

Eric Boehlert: The D.C. Press Yawns While Republicans Return To Radically Obstructionist Ways

Republicans in the U.S. Senate made history this week when they successfully filibustered the nomination of Rep. Melvin Watt (R-N.C.) to become director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. Watt received 56 Senate votes, four short of the 60 necessary to end the filibuster.  

The move represented the latest round of raw, extremist obstructionism that Republicans have proudly practiced for the last five years, particularly when it comes to mounting extraordinary efforts to block presidential appointments that in the past were considered to be routine.

The historic element of the Watt rejection was that throughout American history it has been virtually unheard for a sitting member of Congress to be filibustered — to be denied the courtesy of a final vote — when selected by the president to fill an administration position. Prior to this week’s partisan blockade of Watt, a Congressional rejection like his hadn’t happened since before the Civil War, in 1843.

That important historical context should have been included in every story about the Watt filibuster, but it wasn’t. That’s not surprising considering the Beltway press corps seems to have made a conscious decision during the Obama presidency to omit virtually all context with regards to the Republicans’ continued radical behavior as they cling to filibusters to methodically block, stall and reject most White House policy proposals, as well as countless nominations.

The pliant coverage over the years has likely only enabled Republicans to push ahead with their corrosive strategy, knowing there’s certainly no downside with regards to adverse media attention. After all, Republican moved to recently shut down the government, yet lots of journalists suggested the radical, destructive move was because “both sides” just couldn’t agree, essentially blaming Democrats for Republican extremism.

Note that Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) recently announced he was going to block all Obama nominations until he got more answers about the 2012 terror attack in Benghazi. Although as CNN’s Jeffrey Toobin noted, Republicans block Obama picks as a matter of general principle, so it’s not like Graham even needs a stated reason for the obstruction.

Watt wasn’t the only presidential pick rejected by Republicans on October 31. They also blocked Patricia Millett, who was nominated to fill one of three vacancies on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Despite the fact Millett had previously served as an assistant solicitor general, and represented the administration before the Supreme Court 32 times, under both Presidents Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, Republicans denied her the right to an up or down vote.

It’s telling that Republicans barely even bother to give reasons for the filibusters any more, and that the press doesn’t find that odd.

News of U.S. surveillance in Europe has met with distrust and anger; officials are heading to Washington to discuss matters next week. Here, members of an artists’ group paint a mural called ‘Surveillance of the Fittest’ on a wall in Cologne, Germany, Thursday.

News of U.S. surveillance in Europe has met with distrust and anger; officials are heading to Washington to discuss matters next week. Here, members of an artists’ group paint a mural called ‘Surveillance of the Fittest’ on a wall in Cologne, Germany, Thursday.

Anger, distrust and possible punishments are the defining themes of Europe’s reaction to news that a U.S. spy agency monitored the phone calls of millions of European citizens and some world leaders. The details are the latest to emerge from leaks attributed to former National Security Agency contract worker Edward Snowden.

Members of the European Parliament will be in Washington Monday to discuss recent reports by The Guardian that the NSA used U.S. officials’ Rolodexes to create lists of phone numbers to monitor. Intelligence officials will make a separate visit from Germany, whose Chancellor Angela Merkel was reportedly targeted for surveillance.

From Brussels, Teri Schultz reports for our Newscast unit:

“After months of muted EU reaction to reports the NSA was surveilling millions of private Europeans, the alleged tapping of German Chancellor Angela Merkel’s personal phone seems to have been the last straw.

“A delegation of European parliamentarians will take up the issue with the U.S. government Monday. German and French intelligence officials will be going there soon and may scale back security cooperation.

“The European Parliament has already passed a non-binding resolution to suspend a bank data-sharing agreement with the U.S. and passed a package of laws that would strengthen data and privacy protections in the EU. But many members of Parliament say that’s not enough, and are calling for talks on an EU-US free trade area to be frozen until Europe gets answers.”

In Washington, the ACLU and other rights groups are holding a rally Saturday titled Stop Watching Us — video of which is being live-streamed. In the rally that coincides with the 16th anniversary of the signing of the Patriot Act, protesters are gathering to deliver a petition to Congress that organizers say was signed by more than 580,000 people, calling for transparency and accountability in U.S. surveillance. Its supporters also include Edward Snowden.

Here’s a roundup of reactions and fallout from the news:

“We need something clear-cut that is also in line with the spirit of an alliance,” Merkel said of the need to create “a framework for further cooperation” between the U.S. and its European allies, according to The Washington Post.

“There has been damage here,” former U.S. assistant secretary of state for public affairs P.J. Crowley tells NPR’s Scott Simon on Weekend Edition. “Obviously, deep disappointment and skepticism about U.S. actions and U.S. intentions — not unlike what we experienced 10 years ago, with Iraq.”

“The magnitude of the eavesdropping is what shocked us,” former French Foreign Minister Bernard Kouchner said in a radio interview, according to the AP. “Let’s be honest, we eavesdrop too. Everyone is listening to everyone else. But we don’t have the same means as the United States, which makes us jealous.”

Although the U.S. collects “the same sort of intelligence as all nations, our intelligence community has more restrictions and oversight than in any other country in history,” says the Obama administration’s Lisa Monaco, assistant to the president for homeland security and counterterrorism, in USA Today.

How Did D.C. Navy Yard Gunman Get Security Clearance While Being Treated by VA for Mental Illness?

A gunman opened fire at a naval base in Washington, D.C., on Monday, killing 12 people and wounding several others before dying in a shootout with police. The shooter has been identified as Aaron Alexis, a 34-year-old former Navy Reservist who had been arrested at least twice in the past for shooting-related incidents, but who got security clearance to enter the Washington Navy Yard. Alexis was discharged from the Navy Reserve in 2011 following what officials termed a “pattern of misbehavior.” We speak to AP reporters Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman who reveal Alexis was treated by doctors within the Veterans Administration for serious mental illness, including “hearing voices.”

TRANSCRIPT:

This is a rush transcript. Copy may not be in its final form.

Aaron Maté: Well, thirteen people died when a former Navy reservist opened fire on a naval base and Washington, D.C. on Monday, killing twelve people and wounding several others before dying in a shootout with police. The gunman had been identified as Aaron Alexis, a 34-year-old who have been arrested at least twice in the past for shooting related incidents, but, who got security clearance to enter the Washington Navy Yard. Alexis was discharged from the Navy reserve in 2011, following what officials termed a pattern of misbehavior. The Associated Press has just reported Alexis was treated by the VA for serious mental illness including hearing voices.

Amy Goodman : To talk more about the shooting, we are joined by Matt Apuzzo and Adam Goldman, the Pulitzer Prize-winning reporting team from the Associated Press. They cowrote the new book, “Enemies Within: Inside the NYPD’s Secret Spying Unit and Bin Laden’s Final Plot Against America.” We will talk about the book in a minute. But first, to the shooting. Matt Appuzo, Adam Goldman, welcome. Matt, start with what do you know, the report you’re putting out today?

Matt Appuzo: Well, the AP newsletter just moved a few minutes ago that said that Alexis had been treated relatively recently, in recent months, for a host of mental issues at the VA, hearing voices was kind of the catchall. I think the question obviously is going to be, how far along was he in the treatment? What were they seeing in the medical record? What were they seeing in his file? And could that have pulled clearances to get in the building? At this stage, I don’t think we know the answers to those questions and I think that is what investigators are going to be trying to look for too. Were their missed opportunities like we saw at Virginia Tech with Seung Hui Cho where he shouldn’t have been able to do the things to get a hold of the guns given his mental treatment? I don’t know if that was the case here, but it is certainly something the federal government is looking at, the city government is looking at, and reporters like us are looking at.

Amy Goodman: I mean, it’s something, both having the clearance and having the guns.

Matt Appuzo: Right, and our reporter — the guns aren’t something that Adam and I focused a ton on, but our reporter in Washington, Eric Tucker, has really been trying to piece together exactly how they got the guns. We know that there was a shotgun that he used, we know that there was a handgun. Unclear whether he got the handgun from a police officer or security guard on the scene. And they are still trying to link up that AR-15 as well, as to, you know, was that his. We know it was near him. Where did he get it? You know, all those things. So I think that is what the federal government is trying to piece together. That’s what we’re still trying to piece together.

Amy Goodman: Also quite astounding, while being treated at the VA as AP is reporting for among other things, hearing voices, that he had other incidents in the past and his father saying to authorities that he perhaps suffered from post-traumatic stress disorder from helping people at 9/11. I mean, he had gun violence incidents that he was arrested for.

Matt Appuzo : Sure, and I just think, you know, we’re 24 hours into this investigation and we still haven’t figured out — the gun trace issue is always a difficult one. So, until — I think until we know how he got these guns and how the clearances went, I just don’t want to jump to conclusions about what should have happened or shouldn’t have happened. We are only 24 hours into it.

Amy Goodman: Right, and finally, Adam, that issue of mental illness and being able to have guns legally?

Adam Goldman: Yeah, that is a big issue in this country, and we see people repeatedly with mental illness obtained firearms. Newtown, Virginia Tech, and the horrific shooting in the suburb of Denver.

Amy Goodman: Well, of course we will continue to follow this issue. But now we’re going to talk about an issue you have followed for years.

He Was a Buddhist? 5 Things You Should Know About Aaron Alexis, the Man Who Killed 12 at the D.C. Navy Yard

Here’s what we know already about the man behind the latest mass shooting.

Washington, D.C. is still reeling from the worst attack on a military base since the Fort Hood shootings in 2009, but attention is now turning to the perpetrator of the attack. 12 people were killed and dozens were injured yesterday by 34-year-old Aaron Alexis.

Alexis, who opened fire from a building overlooking the cafeteria at the Navy Yard in D.C., was killed after engaging in a firefight with police. It was unclear whether he killed himself or was shot by police, though.

Law enforcement authorities are still investigating why Alexis would have turned his guns on innocent people. Here’s what we know already about the man behind the latest mass shooting.

1. Prior Arrests

Aaron Alexis was no stranger to law enforcement. He had been arrested twice before.

In 2004, Alexis was booked by Seattle police on charges of “malicious mischief.” The reason? He shot out the tires of a car owned by construction workers. According to the Seattle Police, Alexis had been staring at construction workers at a site near where he was staying. Angry at the parking situation near his home, Alexis shot out the tires of a Honda. Alexis told law enforcement authorities that it was an anger-fueled “blackout” and that he couldn’t remember firing his gun until an hour after he did so.

And in 2010, Alexis was arrested in Texas for discharging his gun. He told police he did so accidentally; no charges were filed. But the gun incident came after he confronted an upstairs neighbor in a parking lot about making too much noise.

2. Alexis Was a Contractor

The 34-year-old worked for a subsidiary of Hewlett Packard called The Experts, an information technology and telecommunications company. The business is contracted by the Navy to work on its Intranet network (a term meaning a collection of private computer networks within one organization). He was reportedly upset about a payment dispute with his employer.

His ID badge as a contractor allowed him access to the Navy Yard base.

3. Alexis Was a Vet

Alexis’ connections to the Navy don’t stop at his contracting. Prior to being hired by The Experts, Alexis served in the naval forces. He enlisted in 2007 in New York, and served four years.

He was discharged from the Navy a year after the shooting incident in Texas in 2010. The Navy said the discharge came about because of a “pattern of misbehavior.”

4. Mental Issues

Alexis suffered from anger management problems associated with PTSD, his father told Seattle police in 2004. Alexis had also told police that he was in New York on 9/11 and participated in the rescue effort, and that the events disturbed him.

“He said he was hearing voices, he was detached from reality at certain points. He had sought treatment a number of times at a number of places and he was also frustrated there. He claimed he wasn"t getting his full VA benefits,” former FBI assistant director and CBS correspondent John Miller reports.

5. Buddhism

Alexis was a practicing Buddhist. He was deeply into Thai and Buddhist culture, and learned Thai while working at a Thai restaurant.

He worshipped at Buddhist temple in Fort Worth, Texas. Monks there told the Los Angeles Times they were shocked that he was behind the D.C. killings.

“He was a very devoted Buddhist,” said the wife of someone who knew Alexis. “Buddhism teaches forgiveness, not grudges. That"s why we"re so shocked.”
