    The airwaves and the headlines are full of talk of a U.S. military strike against Iran. That is as it should be - the danger of such a reckless move is real, and rising, and we should be talking about it. The Bush administration claims that negotiations are their first choice. But they have gone to war based on lies (…)

    Robbery, not reconstruction, in Iraq
    By Derrick Z. Jackson, Globe Columnist http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article12770.htm
    04/18/06 "Boston Globe" — - The great liberator of Iraq was actually the hyena that cleaned out the nation.
    Piece by piece, Halliburton over here, a corrupt company over there, we have heard various individual cases of overcharging and fraud by American firms in the reconstruction of Iraq. Last weekend, a Globe story connected some of the dots of (…)

    Theocons and Theocrats
    By Kevin Phillips
    04/18/06 "The Nation" - [from the May 1, 2006 issue] — Is theocracy in the United States (1) a legitimate fear, as some liberals argue; (2) a joke, given the nation’s rising secular population and moral laxity; (3) a worrisome bias of major GOP constituencies and pressure groups; or (4) all of the above? The last, I would argue.
    The characteristics are not inconsistent. No large nation—no leading world power—could ever resemble theocracies like (…)

    19 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Of course let’s premise the notion of Rumsfeld’s much deserved ouster with the predicate that Bush is the responsible officer in all the fiascos that have characterized this deranged administration...... Rummy was no free agent , running off without presidential authorisation for the mad schemes concocted by himself , Cheney and the Likud Crazies who run the Pentagon and OVP...... We all know what a horror show Iraq has become........... But the current bloodbath taking place in Iraq is (…)

    Amidst growing expectations of a possible an American military strike against Iranian cities, two Democratic Congressmen sent letters to the U.S. President George W. Bush, who secretly decided in 2003 to go to war in Iraq long before he admitted as much in public, expressing concern that if circulating reports about a possible war on Iran are true, then the president is once again acting unilaterally without first obtaining proper authorization from Congress.
    "Recently, it has been (…)

  • Washington Post Gives Nuclear Propaganda Red Carpet Treatment
    18 April 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    Patrick Moore’s article in the Washington Post, “Going Nuclear,” [April 16] provides the kind of misleading and inaccurate information that one often hears from nuclear industry propagandists. In a Post-sponsored online forum held Monday, Moore acknowledged that his organization, Greenspirit, works for the industry’s promotional firm, the Nuclear Energy Institute. But, the Washington Post, having selected Moore’s flawed article in preference to hundreds of other submissions it receives (…)

    Zarqawi; the Pentagon’s ongoing war of deception
    By Mike Whitney
    04/17/06 "ICH" — — In more than 3 years of war, there has never been a positive citing of alleged terror mastermind Abu Musab al Zarqawi. This has led many to believe that he is merely a creation of Pentagon propagandists working with their agents in the western press. Colonel Derek Harvey strengthened those suspicions last week when he admitted in a Washington Post article that the military intentionally “enlarged (…)
