  • Neocons in the Democratic Party
    30 May 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Like Kennedy and Truman, Democratic neocons want to beef up the military and won’t run from a fight.
    By Jacob Heilbrunn, Jacob Heilbrunn, a former Times editorial writer, is writing a book on neoconservatism.
    DON’T LOOK now, but neoconservatism is making a comeback - and not among the Republicans who have made it famous but in the Democratic Party.
    A host of pundits and young national security experts associated with the party are calling for a return to the Cold War precepts of (…)

  • Massacre at Haditha: how the occupation turned an Iraqi town into hell

    by Simon Assaf
    The Iraqi town of Haditha will now forever be linked with the blood and terror of the US occupation. For many it will be Iraq’s equivalent of Vietnam’s My Lai, a symbol of the violence of imperialism.
    Before the war the sleepy town of 70,000 on the banks of the River Euphrates was known mainly for its date growing.
    Now it is known for a massacre. And that massacre has underlined the much wider process of invasion, and the urgent necessity for every one of the US and (…)

  • Block the Vote
    30 May 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    In a country that spends so much time extolling the glories of democracy, it’s amazing how many elected officials go out of their way to discourage voting. States are adopting rules that make it hard, and financially perilous, for nonpartisan groups to register new voters. They have adopted new rules for maintaining voter rolls that are likely to throw off many eligible voters, and they are imposing unnecessarily tough ID requirements.
    Florida recently reached a new low when it actually (…)

    By CHARLES J. HANLEY and MARTHA MENDOZA
    More than a half-century after hostilities ended in Korea, a document from the war’s chaotic early days has come to light - a letter from the U.S. ambassador to Seoul, informing the State Department that American soldiers would shoot refugees approaching their lines.
    The letter - dated the day of the Army’s mass killing of South Korean refugees at No Gun Ri in 1950 - is the strongest indication yet that such a policy existed for all U.S. forces in (…)

  • Bush at West Point: Vows Long Middle Eastern War, Spreads the Fallacy of the Cold War Analogy

    by Matthew Rothschild At West Point’s graduation ceremony, President Bush gave a none too subtle hint that the United States will be waging war in the Middle East for years and years to come. And not just in Iraq.
    “So long as the Middle East remains a place where freedom does not flourish, it will remain a place where terrorists foment resentment and threaten American security,” he said. He added, a few sentences later, “The message has spread from Damascus to Tehran that the future (…)

    "May Day, I Repeat, May Day," Say Vets!
    Cathy Garger
    In small towns throughout America there’s a new flurry of concerned activity from grassroots organizers of a most un-likely type. It might even be fair to say that this latest, most determined and focused group is nothing at all like the socialists, hippies, yippies, and liberal rebels from our country’s last major radical movement.
    Even if we consider that many of these worried dissenters are the exact same age as protestors from (…)

    The Threat of Depleted Uranium Exposure - It’s Real, Deadly and Covered up by the Pentagon and VA - by Stephen Lendman
    The Pentagon must surely believe the old but very foolish saying that what you don’t know won’t hurt you. To prove it they nearly always go to great lengths to conceal what they do know so we won’t find out. That’s especially true when what they know is bad news or hazardous to our health or that of our troops. That’s certainly the case regarding the real and deadly (…)

    by William Fisher Anticipating that the U.S. federal government would invoke the so-called "state secrets" privilege to block any lawsuit calling for the disclosure of details about allegations that phone companies shared customer records with the government’s biggest spy agency, a major civil rights group has embarked on an alternate course.
    The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) has filed complaints in more than 20 individual states demanding that their utility commissions and (…)
