    “It is an extraordinary subversion of the [U.S.] Constitution to send people to die...on the basis of a lie.” - Elizabeth Holtzman (1)
    There is a story told about a criminal defense lawyer, a colorful kind of character at the Maryland Bar, who has since gone on to his final reward. Supposedly, he comforted his guilty-as-hell client as the trial date approached by repeatedly telling him: “Don’t Worry! Everything will be all right!” Well, on the day of the trial, the trial judge assigned to (…)

    Before the end of his rogue presidency, Bush seems determined to attack Iran.
    The evidence for that becomes clearer every day. Not only is there an ongoing military build-up in the Gulf area but, more ominously, he has now sacked the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Peter Pace, who is known not only to oppose an attack on Iran but to be an opponent of the neocons’ plan for a Long or Generational War.
    If the Senate approves his nomination, Pace’s replacement will be Chief of (…)

    Under the banner of "For freedom of speech and against imperialism", hundreds of thousands of Venezuelans took to the streets of Caracas on June 2 in defence of their revolution, and as a direct response to the domestic and international campaign being whipped up by Washington in the wake of the non-renewal of Radio Caracas TV’s (RCTV) broadcasting concession, dwarfing all (…)

    Italian Prime Minister Romano Prodi was confronted by a hostile audience this week at an event in Trento, Italy, where he spoke at a conference on economics. The "No Dal Molin" movement from Vicenza, Italy, which is opposing the construction of a new U.S. military base protested outside the event and inside.
    In an attempt to satisfy the audience, the moderator permitted the citizen activist leader Cinzia Bottene to come on stage with Prodi and address him. She did so, and the people (…)

    She’s at it again on the Journal’s editorial page in her June 4 article called "The Young and the Restless," subtitled "Is this the beginning of the end for Hugo Chavez?" The writer is self-styled Latin American expert Mary Anastasia O’Grady always getting top grades in vilification and disinformation but failing ones on regional knowledge and legitimate journalism.
    This time she may have overstepped. Her article wreaks with disinformation, outright lies, and most (…)

    State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters Wednesday June 6, “We’re (…)

    by David R. Hoffman
    Perhaps the most ironic thing about modern day America is the realization that, even though the nation was created through revolution, talk of revolution is almost nonexistent. This is perplexing, particularly since many of the conditions that fueled revolutionary rhetoric during the Nixon era of the late 1960s and early 1970s have reappeared today.
    During Nixon’s presidency America was mired in Vietnam—fighting a war on foreign soil that was fabricated on nothing but (…)
