    Liberals have their faults, but no one can accuse them of being pigheaded. Two years after left-of-Bush Americans marched against the invasion of Iraq and a year after the Administration admitted it had lied about Saddam’s non-existent weapons of mass destruction and ties to Al Qaeda, the sprouting of a few protodemocratic weeds in the microscopically-cracked cement of Arab dictatorship has prompted them to wonder whether the neoconservatives maybe did the right thing after all by going into (…)

    Why Do Americans Hate Muslims? Reem Al-Faisal, Arab News May 26, 2005 A few weeks ago an American I met at a friends house asked a much repeated query, “Why do you the Muslims hate the Americans?” To which I answered in the same way as all the preceding instances in which this question was posed to me: “We don’t hate the Americans, we might disagree with a certain US policy and dislike recent American actions in the Muslim world but we surely don’t hate the American people.”
    The American (…)

    FBI Memo Reports Guantanamo Guards Flushing Koran Wed May 25, 2005
    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - An FBI agent wrote in a 2002 document made public on Wednesday that a detainee held at the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, had accused American jailers there of flushing the Koran down a toilet.
    The release of the declassified document came the week after the Bush administration denounced as wrong a May 9 Newsweek article that stated U.S. interrogators at Guantanamo had flushed a Koran down (…)

    EVEN BEFORE the Bush administration invaded Iraq in March 2003, human rights organizations were raising allegations of torture at U.S. prisons in Afghanistan.
    At the time, the State Department dismissed their allegations as “ridiculous” (just as the White House recently feigned outrage when Newsweek claimed that Guantanamo interrogators flushed the Koran down the toilet—even as evidence surfaced that they urinated on it). As recently as December, military spokesperson Lt. Col. Pamela (…)

    These days, they are rather worried. They are of no use any longer ! They have lost their aura. The carpet is being withdrawn from underneath their feet. Worse, they might even lose their jobs. They have become a burden for their employer. You guessed whom I am talking about ! The mainstream media or their masters’ voice, the corporate media.
    In the near past, these cacophonous trumpets, used to have an idol to worship. They were his press officers. Every morning there was an assembly to (…)

    Using The Media For A Magic Trick Eugene Robinson May 24, 2005 I propose that the media spend less of their finite, precious resources doing what I’m doing right now: covering the media.
    No, I don’t want to put all the media writers out of business. Yes, there are days when the making or unmaking of the story is the story. But please, not every day. If we covered government, business, foreign affairs, sports, entertainment and the rest of modern existence as aggressively and thoroughly (…)

    "The Intelligence and Facts
    were fixed around the Policy"
    The Lie of Preventative War
    Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop speaks on the morning of the Russia invasion to journalists in Berlin. Despite the existence of a nonagression pact, Hitler sent 3 million German soldiers to invade the Soviet Union under the code name "Barbarossa." The nazi leadership justified the attack as a preventative strike to hinder an alleged attack being planned by Stalin.

    Alas, Hogan’s Heroes. And poor LeBeau. He never stood a chance. The second that Sgt. Schultz discovered the receiver in the coffee pot and then sputtered a report to Colonel Klink, who then discovered the comically obvious bugs in his office, LeBeau’s fate was sealed. But there was so much to go through before the sweet kiss of death finally sucked the last breath from the ill-fated Frenchman. Sure, when Klink called Col. Hogan to his office, Hogan expected to do the usual song and dance - (…)
