In a dispatch posted at 9:54pm Baghdad time Saturday night, the Yaqen News Agency reported that US forces were continuing to destroy, rob, and smuggle ancient Sumerian and Babylonian artifacts despite opposition by UNESCO, Iraqi intellectuals, and even the attempts by the American-installed "Iraqi Ministry of Culture" to stop (…)

“Time’s glory is...to wrong the wronger, till he render right.” - William Shakespeare, the Bard of Avon
On Nov. 27, 2007, an ultra-hyped, one-day Mideast parley was held in Annapolis, MD, the capital of the state. This is also where the U.S. Naval Academy is located. The idea that the hawkish Bush-Cheney Gang is going to successfully broker an Israel/Palestine peace is absurd. In a show-off-like gesture Maryland’s Governor, Martin O’Malley invited Israel’s Prime Minister, Ehud Olmert, for (…)

Times, Post and Bill Clinton’s dishonesty slide
The New York Times and Washington Post (11/28/07) both failed to adequately challenge the dishonesty of former President Bill Clinton’s declaration that he had been opposed to the Iraq War "from the beginning." Clinton, in fact, was a supporter of the war, both before the invasion and in the first year or so of the fighting.
In the Times’ words, though, Clinton’s new stance was just "more (…)

President Bush said “a fledgling democratic movement that he sees spreading through the Middle East is essential to defeating terrorism, and warned Syria and Iran against thwarting the "momentum of freedom" and fomenting instability in the region.
"The chances of democratic progress in the broader Middle East have seemed frozen in place for decades," Bush said at the National Defense University at Fort McNair. "Yet, at last, (…)

CARACAS (Reuters) - Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez appeared headed for victory on Sunday in a referendum on allowing the leftist to rule for as long as he keeps winning elections, government-linked sources said, citing exit polls.
Three exit polls showed Chavez won by between six and eight percentage points in a vote where turnout was low, the two sources said.
If confirmed, it would be by far the slimmest victory margin in the career of a man (…)

Penny Coleman, ALTERNET November 26, 2007.
The military refuses to come clean, insisting the high rates are due to "personal problems," not experience in combat.
Earlier this year, using the clout that only major broadcast networks seem capable of mustering, CBS News contacted the governments of all 50 states requesting their official records of death by suicide going back 12 years. They heard back from 45 of the 50. From the mountains of gathered information, they sifted out the (…)
