    By Robert Fisk
    Each time I lecture abroad on the Middle East, there is always someone in the audience – just one – whom I call the "raver". Apologies here to all the men and women who come to my talks with bright and pertinent questions – often quite humbling ones for me as a journalist – and which show that they understand the Middle East tragedy a lot better than the journalists who report it. But the "raver" is real. He has turned up in corporeal form in Stockholm and in Oxford, in Sao (…)

  • Get Out of the Valley of Elah
    26 September 2007 par (Open-Publishing)

    By David Swanson
    I spent a day meeting with Congress Members and their staffers, urging them to end the occupation of Iraq, and having them tell me they would never "defund our troops." In the evening I watched Paul Haggis’s new film "In the Valley of Elah." I walked out stunned, shaken, far more angry than I’d been, and convinced that we shouldn’t be asking Congress Members to end the occupation, we should be asking them to watch this movie. If any Congress Member were to watch this (…)

    Anything But Straight
    by Wayne Besen
    About three years ago, I was lounging in a Montreal hotel room when I got a call from activist Mike Rogers. I was unaware of who he was, but this intense stranger began interrogating me for information about - well, I don’t even remember what the topic was anymore. But, I do recall that he was about the toughest advocate I had encountered in quite some time. As I hung up the phone I thought, "thank God this guy is on our side."

  • Bush’s False Analogies Between Vietnam and Iraq!

    By Brian McAfee
    With President Bush recently bringing up the killing fields of South East Asia as justification for the US continuing the war in Iraq [1], I could not help but think of John Pilger’s 1991 film "Cambodia: The Betrayal." This documentary investigates and outlines the West’s, particularly the US’s, behind the scenes and ongoing support for Pol Pot and the Khmer Rouge. Indeed, this backing began during the Carter administration and it continued throughout both the Reagan and (…)

  • Bush Planned to Invade Iraq regardless of UN approval.

    The Iraq invasion and occupation was planned with or without UN approval.

    Of course, we KNEW this in 2003. Both Blix and Scott Ritter declared there were no WMD and bush’s anxiousness to invade was personal, not based on threats.
    Impeachment is still off the table. Thanks Nancy.

    Ghost Dance By David Glenn Cox
    When the Teton Sioux nation surrendered in 1876-77 they were promised that they could maintain sovereignty on their land. They would be treated as a sovereign nation; they could elect their own leaders and make their own policies. But very quickly it became apparent that they were captives on their own land. They could choose only the leaders that met with Washington’s approval. They could set only policies that (…)
