    Cheney’s Halliburton Loses Its Iraq Cash Cow By Charlie Cray, TomPaine.com Posted on July 31, 2006
    Recently, the Army announced with much fanfare that it was canceling the monopoly logistics contract that Halliburton/KBR has used to bilk U.S. taxpayers since the occupation of Iraq began.

    Instead, the errant air strike today killed a Lebanese soldier, said MSNBC, which also announced that the resumed bombings have forced (…)

    Open Letter To The American Media By May Ibrahim July 27, 2006 Dear Members of the American Media, I have been following your coverage of the Israeli attack on Lebanon, and I am appalled to see the lack of information provided to your audience on the ACTUAL escalation of events that has truly led to this inconceivably unjust and criminal military onslaught onto Lebanon and its citizens by the government of Israel.

    "I Came Over Here Because I Wanted To Kill People" By Andrew Tilghman Sunday, July 30, 2006; B01 " I came over here because I wanted to kill people."
    Over a mess-tent dinner of turkey cutlets, the bony-faced 21-year-old private from West Texas looked right at me as he talked about killing Iraqis with casual indifference. It was February, and we were at his small patrol base about 20 miles south of Baghdad. "The truth is, it wasn’t all I thought it was cracked up to be. I mean, I thought (…)

    Lebanon: Some Primetime Lies From US Media Jonathan Cook, Arab News Monday, 31, July, 2006 Last week I had the pleasure to appear on American radio, on the Laura Ingraham show, pitted against David Horowitz, a “Semite supremacist” who most recently made his name under the banner of Campus Watch, leading McCarthyite witch-hunts against American professors who have the impertinence to suggest that maybe, just maybe, Arabs have minds and feelings like the rest of us.
