    *War Continues for "Bush’s Ego"? My Rear End!*
    Cathy Garger
    With all due respect, I can not stand the Paul Craig Roberts "limited hangout" that posits that we are still in Iraq (and Afghanistan for that matter) due to One Man’s Ego. Nor can I stand the implication that there was any "mistake" at all about Iraq (or Afghanistan, while we’re at it). The United States wanted to get into Iraq and Afghanistan and control their oil resources long before 9/11 even happened.
    Let’s state the (…)

    An American Child’s Primer on Ending War by Violet Flemme Earth Advocates International http://GalaxyGarden.org
    War is another way of saying we’re going to kill you now or else.
    War has become America’s heart disease, and we are dying from it.
    America holds the hopes, dreams and nightmares of the world in our privileged hands. Also most of the atomic weapons.
    C.I.A. was created by a group of corporate police and military agents to make the war machine work for the economy. "Central (…)

  • The 9/11 Conspiracy Theories (We Must Have A New And Completely Independent Investigation Into The Events Of 9/11)
    11 December 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    A conspiracy theory is simply a theory that a conspiracy exists. If that theory is supported by even one fact, the theory becomes a possibility. If that theory is supported by fact after fact after fact after fact; it becomes a probability.
    "Bush Science" — a corruption of allegedly scientific investigations by the Bush administration policy goals, citing condemnations by prominent scientists and Nobel lauretes, the Union of Concerned Scientists, and the House Committee on Government (…)

  • McKinney on Conyers investigations "they say they aren’t even going to issue subpoenas.”

    Will other members of congress support the action Congresswoman McKinney has brought forth?
    At the table in what could be considered her impeachment “war room” the question is brought up a number of times.
    Mike, an advisor to McKinney, mentions, “Conyers was supposed to have investigations. They were chomping at the bit 6 months ago to do subpoenas.”
    McKinney quietly replies, “Now they say they aren’t even going to issue subpoenas.”
    Looking up from her papers she takes a deep breath, (…)

  • Congresswoman McKinney Speaks Up for Majority of Americans

    Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney has introduced articles of impeachment against George Bush, Dick Cheney, and Condoleezza Rice. In doing so, she alone has spoken for the 51 percent of Americans who Newsweek says want Bush impeached. A considerably higher percentage of Americans would, if asked, almost certainly acknowledge that the abuses with which McKinney charges Bush et al. have, in fact, been committed by them and are impeachable offenses. That is to say, there are those who recognize (…)

    A Young Marine Speaks Out By Philip Martin December 08, 2006 I’m sick and tired of this patriotic, nationalistic and fascist crap. I stood through a memorial service today for a young Marine that was killed in Iraq back in April. During this memorial a number of people spoke about the guy and about his sacrifice for the country. How do you justify ’sacrificing’ your life for a war which is not only illegal, but is being prosecuted to the extent where the only thing keeping us there is one (…)

    SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS By Peter Fredson December 8, 2006
    I still have some simple questions to help untangle a complicated web of misdirection, misinformation, deception, propaganda, and untruths that were spun by the disastrous Bush administration. Although several administration-controlled “investigations” brought out some of the architecture of this web, I am not at all satisfied that we got at any simple truth.
    We need more “Deep Throats”, a few courageous senators, and some honest (…)

    Editor’s note: In an interview with Truthdig research editor Joshua Scheer*, Rep. Dennis Kucinich (D-Ohio) criticizes the leadership of his own party for announcing Tuesday that it would support a massive increase in spending for the Iraq war.
    Truthdig: What was the upshot of [Tuesday’s] Democratic caucus meeting?
    Kucinich: At this point the Democratic leadership-the speaker and the majority leader and Rahm Emanuel-are all recommending that the Democrats support the appropriation that is (…)

    Eduardo Hughes Galeano (born September 3, 1940) is an Uruguayan journalist whose books have been translated into many languages. His works transcend orthodox genres, combining documentary, fiction, journalism, political analysis, and history. The author himself has denied that he is a historian: "I’m a writer obsessed with remembering, with remembering the past of America above all and above all that of Latin America, intimate land condemned to amnesia." They say that the torture is (…)
