    by Clayton Hallmark

    Mammoth crimes go unpunished as personal squabbles distract attention from real issues
    by Paul Joseph Watson
    The rumor mill tells us indictments are going to be handed down on Thursday but the constant guessing game should be brushed aside in favor of a serious consideration about whether we are being sold on a story that in reality has no significant consequences.
    While the left are transfixed by the issue, the lunatic fringe of the Internet have seized on this story, like they do (…)

  • Why I’m Getting Arrested at the White House Today

    By David Swanson, October 26, 2005
    The first reason I’m going to lie down, refuse to move, and wait to be arrested outside the White House today is my belief that massive civil disobedience is needed if we are going to end the war and forestall the next war. The power of nonviolent sacrifice has been tried and tested. It may not work this time, but nothing else seems remotely likely to do the job, not even my most extravagant hopes for indictments. I’m being as practical as I know how to (…)

    Protesters across the United States have taken part in hundreds of vigils and rallies to mark the 2,000th US military death in Iraq.
    Anti-war activists say their movement is rapidly growing in strength and now speaks for a majority of Americans who believe President George W Bush’s decision to invade Iraq was a mistake.
    The death last weekend of a soldier, wounded in combat in the southern Iraqi city of Samarra earlier this month, pushed the toll to 2,000.
    "We’re seeing rapid (…)

    As a legal noose appears to be tightening around the Bush/Cheney/Rove inner circle, a shocking government report shows the floor under the legitimacy of their alleged election to the White House is crumbling.

  • The American Political Tradition
    26 October 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Eric Foner
    Undoubtedly the most celebrated and influential account of American life by a foreign observer is Democracy in America, written by Alexis de Tocqueville after his visit to the United States in the 1830s. As a French aristocrat, Tocqueville rather disliked democracy, but he understood that it had become central to Americans’ understanding of themselves. Democracy, he recognized, was more than simply the right to vote; it was a habit of the heart, a deeply rooted set of beliefs (…)

    By Steve Weissman
    As we approach the week when Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald’s grand jury will undoubtedly issue indictments against White House officials, the seldom considered 1982 CIA shield law under which the Plame case was first launched deserves some attention.

Lewis Libby, and possibly others decided to reveal the identity of CIA officer Valerie Plame, they clearly wanted to punish her husband, former Ambassador Joe Wilson, for undermining administration (…)

    Senator Kerry is scheduled to deliver a searing speech on Bush’s Iraq policy while laying out a decisive path for the future of the Iraqi people, our troops and our country. His bold plan calls for the beginning of troop withdrawal, with 20,000 coming home over the holidays and complete disengagement within 12-15 months. “No more shell games, no more false reports of progress, but specific and measurable goals.”
    Kerry doesn’t only target Bush for criticism, he is also clear that the truths (…)
