    By Jason Leopold
    Every year, right around the anniversary of 9/11 the Bush administration spins the public about the reasons 1,864 American soldiers have died fighting for a lie in Iraq. And every year, it’s just as crucial that the media tell the public the truth about the reasons the war was started.
    So here goes.
    The disinformation campaign the White House launched last weekend should leave no doubt that the war in Iraq was hatched well before 9/11 and is part of a broader strategy (…)

    By Greg Moses
    If by socialism you mean the kind of world that officers’ kids enjoy, then I’m pretty much for it. It’s the kind of world I grew up in. Free health care, pretty good job security, cheap movies (that I could afford to attend every night in a row), swimming pools, bowling alleys, shooting ranges, craft shops, safe streets, and no private property to speak of. The toughest day on base was the day you “cleared quarters”, when a soldier with clipboard would come to your house and (…)

  • Camp Casey to focus on Exposing Bush Lies

    Cindy Sheehan wrote: "Memo to Drudge, et al: It’s Not About Me, It’s About the War"
    and "Our true mission is to bring attention to the occupation of Iraq and bringing our troops home."
    So, it’s time for the crew in Crawford to get on message.
    Every Voice in Camp Casey needs to FOCUS- this is not about Cindy - it’s about the war. They’ve made it about Cindy so they can tear her down. So we need to take the message back. This stand in Texas is about exposing the lies and (…)

    CRAWFORD, Texas - Folk singer Joan Baez joined anti-war protesters near U.S. President George W. Bush’s ranch on Sunday to meet with military families who want troops pulled out of Iraq.
    "You know in the first march I went on against the war in Vietnam there were 10 of us," Baez said as she met with a group of women whose sons died in Iraq or were being deployed there.
    "This is huge," she said.
    Hundreds of anti-war supporters sat on fold-out chairs under a huge (…)

  • Habitual lies to promote a war against the guiltless are pretty telling...

    In June, US president Bush’s spinmeister and advisor Karl Rove had this to say of liberals concerning September 11: “Liberals saw the savagery of the 9/11 attacks and wanted to prepare indictments and offer therapy and understanding for our attackers.”
    I still say that this statement is ludicrous and just plain nuts.
    I am of the belief we go after those who not only attack us as a nation, but also personally. I am not of the belief of excusing horrific behavior and (…)

    « A Daytrip Without Cindy: Friday at Camp Casey The Listening Tent and the Raw Talk Revival: Camp Casey, Phase Two »
    By Greg Moses
    Two weeks ago in Crawford, Texas there was a lonely Peace House with payments to make and not much money in the bank. Today, there is not only a Peace House with enough money in the bank to pay it off, but there are two (count ‘em two!) Camp Caseys that now reach out and around the vacation home of the President of the USA, supporting a peace movement that (…)

    I still say that this statement is ludicrous and just plain nuts.
    I am of the belief we go after those who not only attack us as a nation, but also personally. I am not of the belief of excusing horrific behavior and actions by terrorists or mere criminals in this country.
    If you are guilty of a terrorist attack or any crime is that you do the time and are prepared for the consequences of your actions.
    * I am however against going after the wrong people and blaming (…)

    Not having Cindy Sheehan in Crawford Friday turned out okay. Her absence didn’t stop the media from crowding around a noon prayer vigil. And nobody I talked to was planning to cut short their stay on account of her absence. In fact, as usual, folks were sort of falling in love with the land and each other, wondering how many days more could they squeeze in.
    Take the example of Katie Sterling of Fort Worth and her traveling companion Pam Humphrey of Burleson, Texas. In the (…)

    By William Fisher
    Countries that rely on ‘diplomatic assurances’ that other countries won’t torture transferred prisoners “are either engaging in wishful thinking or using the assurances as a figleaf to cover their complicity,” a new report from Human Rights Watch (HRW) charges.
    HRW said, “There is substantial evidence that in the course of the global “war on terrorism,” an increasing number of governments have transferred, or proposed sending, alleged terrorist suspects to countries (…)

  • GOOD, BAD AND UGLY : Peace vigil near Bush ranch puts Texas stereotypes on national display

    In portraying Texans, visiting journalists have embraced a host of well-worn images of typical residents of the Lone Star state, ranging from self-reliant and generous farmer-ranchers to loutish, swaggering bullies with guns in pickups. Last week at the media circus surrounding Cindy Sheehan’s antiwar encampment outside Crawford, both images were in plain view.
    First Larry Mattlage, a bearded homeowner, showed up inside his property line near the protesters’ site and fired several blasts (…)
