    WASHINGTON, Nov. 21 (UPI) — The U.S. practice of using torture on terror detainees was rooted in Vice President Dick Cheney’s office, a former senior State Department official claims.
    Retired U.S. Army Col. Larry Wilkerson, who served as former Secretary of State Colin Powell’s chief of staff, made the allegation to CNN, and said it was possible the practice was still going on.
    "There’s no question in my mind where the philosophical guidance and the flexibility in order to do so (…)

    An open letter to senator Liebermann

    One frequent criticism of my articles for PRAVDA.Ru evolves from my propensity to reference my past articles in more recent ones. Some attribute this proclivity to vanity, laziness or some other ulterior motive.
    The truth, however, is not as complicated or self-serving. I simply want to remind readers that there were some, like myself, who recognized the corruption, venality, hypocrisy and mendacity of George W. Bush and his minions long before his dictatorship’s popularity fell to what (…)

    First Light
    By Chris Floyd Published, MOSCOW TIMES: November 25, 2005
    Last week, America’s troubled sleep was shattered by a trumpet blast of truth sounding deep in Washington’s corridors of power, where the rule of the Lie has held sway for so long. This intrusion of reality into the bloodstained fantasyland of the Bush Regime comes late in the day for the moribund Republic — perhaps too late — but it has struck a mighty blow against the Lie’s adherents, driving them into spasms of (…)

    The British government tried to suppress it. British sources briefed the media it was a "non story". The PSNI refused to comment and the then British NIO Minister Ian Pearson insisted, "There were no indications the material had fallen into the hands of paramilitaries."
