    CIA finally fed up with George W. Bush and the amateurs around him
    VHeadline.com commentarist Arthur Shaw writes: In the shabby, sham, and phony United States "democracy," a controversy over the rule of law rages although the US capitalist press falsely portrays the controversy as a mere case of criminal law that affirms the rule of law in the USA.

    The SAS represented the plausibly deniable "action arm" of an (…)

    A BUZZFLASH NEWS ANALYSIS
    It’s perhaps a good time to ask that question, as we will learn this week if there will be indictments and, if so, how many of them there will be.
    How did an administration so good at establishing investigations and commissions that whitewashed its lies and incompetence end up with a prosecutor it doesn’t seem able to squash like a bug? Heck, after turning FEMA over (…)

    Plamegate: The Republican Big Lie
    Hinderaker’s Folly
    Special to Crooks and Liars by Larry Johnson If ignorance is bliss, then John Hinderaker is one happy fellow when it comes to talking about Joe Wilson and Valerie Plame. According to Hinderaker, who was appearing on Howard Kurtz’s CNN show about the media, he trots out once again the big lie of Republican talking points by claiming that Joe Wilson lied in his July 2003 op-ed. Hinderaker says that Wilson, "reported to the CIA (…)

    Theories about Russian agents steering Hurricane Katrina may be off base, but research into weather manipulation has been going on for decades
    Pssst. Have you heard? Hurricane Katrina was intentionally steered to hit New Orleans. The Russians — a clique of KGB secret-police hardliners who took over a secret weather-control weapon developed for the old Soviet military — did it.
