By John GeluardiThe Chevron Corporation has exposed its pestilent underbelly by hiring William J. Haynes II, a Department of Defense attorney who compiled lists of violent interrogation techniques for shadowy U.S. detention centers.

June 4, 2009Sound and Fury: Parsing the DCCC's Immigration Stance
What happens when the shouting's over?San Francisco's powerful Democratic County Central Committee (DCCC) made headlines last week when, after heated debate, it passed a resolution assailing Mayor Gavin Newsom's take on the sanctuary city policy -- a decades-old commitment by local public officials not to cooperate more than necessary with federal immigration laws. The policy was revisited by the mayor last year after the San Francisco Chronicle reported that the city was keeping young felons fr
