WHO LIED TO WHOM? by SEYMOUR M. HERSH Why did the Administration endorse a forgery about Iraq’s nuclear program? Issue of 2003-03-31 Posted 2003-03-24
Last September 24th, as Congress prepared to vote on the resolution authorizing President George W. Bush to wage war in Iraq, a group of senior intelligence officials, including George Tenet, the Director of Central Intelligence, briefed the Senate Foreign Relations Committee on Iraq’s weapons capability. It was an important presentation for (…)

The misinformation being spread in the media about the Plame affair is alarming and damaging to the long-term security interests of the United States. Republicans’ talking points are trying to savage Joe Wilson and, by implication, his wife, Valerie Plame, as liars. That is the truly big lie.
Plame was an undercover operations officer until outed in the press by Robert Novak. Novak’s column was not an isolated attack. It was in fact part of a coordinated, orchestrated smear that we now (…)

First, the facts: according to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), “Senators Joseph Lieberman (D-Conn.) and Orrin Hatch (R-Utah) introduced the "Project BioShield II Act of 2005" (S. 975) on April 29, 2005. The bill builds upon the first BioShield bill, which was signed into law on July 21, 2004, and authorized $5.6 billion over 10 years to encourage pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to develop bioterrorism (…)

Wim Dankbaar on Luis Posada Carriles, reflections from a foreigner.
Why does this terrorist get such protection from Bush? Here is the story!
"Without the support from higher powers, Posada Carriles would just be a pawn. A pawn who would not have been able to bribe his escape from prison, to plan and execute terrorist attacks, and to slip through the (…)

In my last column I recommended impeachment of Bush as a first step toward repairing the damage we have done to Iraq. Since then Al Qaeda terrorists have attacked London and been swiftly identified with professionalism and civic smoothness by British law-enforcement, and Karl Rove has been revealed as the one who betrayed a CIA professional to punish her husband for criticizing Bush’s war on Iraq.
I can hardly write fast enough for this one: by the time you read this Rove may be gone, and (…)

On June 27, a scandal large enough to lead to the impeachment of Vice President Richard Cheney, emerged when it was revealed at a hearing called by the Senate Democratic Policy Committee, that the latest figures in questionable and unsupported charges to the Department of Defense by the Halliburton Corporation, had reached over $1.4 billion. There are already two criminal investigations by the Justice Department into Halliburton for fraudulent billings related to Iraq war contracts-each of (…)

It is unanimous that the dastardly bomb attacks in London on July 7, 2005 were a barbaric act. There is no other way of describing the planned, premeditated targeting of civilians. It is political violence of this sort that constitutes stark, naked terrorism.
While all of us would regard the terrorist act that occurred on 7/7 as barbaric, some of us would be deeply disturbed by statements attributed to British and American leaders in the immediate aftermath of the tragedy which sought to (…)

We must ACT on the TRUTH and not on the FEARS programmed into our brains by our psychosocial indoctrination from our oligarghy slave masters.
We as a psycholinguistic being capable of self programming our minds with information or DISinformation can be led to believe and act on a wide range of emotional topics and agendas simply by tying our needs and desires to our fears and uncertainties through a set of focused agendas and actions that produce the correct responses in the mind of the (…)

Legalised Brutality - The New Face Of America Andrew Sullivan July 17, 2005 The terror attack on London is perhaps an appropriate background for an official report into the detention policies at Guantanamo Bay. We live in a world where the rules of even guerrilla warfare have shifted towards deeper and deeper levels of barbarism. It would be highly unlikely that western societies are not changed in response. Some loss of liberty is inevitable; some fraying of freedom and the rules of (…)

Occupation Begets Bombers Michael Harris, Toronto Sun July 15, 2005 Watching your citizens blown to bits is not the best of invitations to reflection.
Older, more basic instincts are engaged; fury, hatred and a lust for revenge. All three of those emotions have been on display in Britain this past week in the wake of the vicious tube and bus bombings that killed scores of innocent people and maimed hundreds of others.
Since the suicide-bombings in London, there have been seven days of (…)
