    By Diana Lee
    With his job-approval ratings drastically dropping for handling domestic woes and the increasingly unpopular Iraq war, President Bush nevertheless persists on “staying the course” - disconnected from reality. Mr. Bush’s display of inconsistencies, indifference, and denial to the deteriorating circumstances of America - domestically and internationally - raises serious questions about his mental state and his abilities to continue as a leader of a nation.
    According to his (…)

    Legally, there are no significant differences between the investor fraud perpetrated by Enron CEO Ken Lay and the prewar intelligence fraud perpetrated by George W. Bush. Both involved persons in authority who used half-truths and recklessly false statements to manipulate people who trusted them. There is, however, a practical difference: The presidential fraud is wider in scope and far graver in its consequences than the Enron fraud. Yet thus far the public seems (…)

    The Bush regime told lies to get support for its pre-emptive war against a country that posed no threat to our borders. Rep. Dennis Kucinich, D-Ohio, introduced a “Resolution of Inquiry to demand the White House turn over all white papers, minutes, notes, e-mails or other communications kept by the White House Iraq Group (WHIG).”
    “This group, comprised of the president and vice president’s top aides, was critical in selling the administration’s case for war,” Kucinich said. “We now know (…)

    Events following the publication of the United Nations report on the assassination of former Lebanese Prime Minister Rafik Hariri confirm that the investigation was never more than a pretext for aggressive US and British action against Syria.
    While there remain sharp differences within the US administration and between the major powers, the thrust of US and British policy goes further than the economic sanctions it is initially proposing and towards military action against (…)

    The indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby by Special Prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald provides the most cogent and visible evidence to date of the criminal mindset that exists inside the Bush administration regarding the decision to invade Iraq.
    The indictment is linked to Libby’s involvement in illegally revealing the identity of a covert CIA operative, Valerie Plame, in violation of U.S. law, and the resultant conspiracy to deny and cover up the fact that this crime (…)

  • It’s not about Libby, It’s whether the Bush administration lied to the American people

    The major question in the matter of Valerie Plame is not whether the vice president’s chief of staff lied to a grand jury.
    It’s whether the Bush administration lied to the American people in justifying the invasion of Iraq and then tried to intimidate its critics.
    Friday, a grand jury indicted I. Lewis Scooter’’ Libby Jr. on charges of obstruction of justice, perjury and making false statements. The indictments followed a two-year investigation by special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald.

    By Roger Burbach*
    Roger Burbach views Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez’s unique brand of socialism. Domestically, it combines pre-modern forms harking back to 19th century caudillos and independence heroes with a democratic post-modern revolution, enabling hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans to take control of their destinies. Internationally, it has seen Venezuela at the forefront of efforts aimed at regional economic assistance and integration - efforts which "constitute a challenge to (…)
