OLBERMANN: And lastly tonight, a special comment on why we are here. Half a lifetime ago I worked in the now empty space behind me. And for 40 days after the attacks, I worked here again, trying to make sense of what had happened and was yet to happen, as a reporter. And all the time I knew that the very air I breathed contained the remains of thousands of people, including four of my own friends, two in the planes and as I discovered from the missing posters, seared still into my soul, two (…)

Hugh Muir Wednesday September 13, 2006 The Guardian
The point at which President Hugo Chávez decided that London should serve as a model for services and governance in Caracas was not immediately apparent. He came in May, visited City Hall amid much controversy and fanfare, and was soon gone.
But the result of his visit is likely to be an extraordinary deal struck with London’s mayor, Ken Livingstone, that would see (…)

For the last many months I’ve been watching the usual batch of political pundits come and go on the talk circuit. We’re continually told about Bush’s "sagging" "dropping" and "falling" poll numbers, but every time they say that, Bush’s numbers seem NOT to have fallen since the last time they mentioned them! Right now, according to many sources, he’s hovering around 40% (Lou Dobbs, others)..and they call that DOWN?
Anyway.....
There’s no doubt that his numbers SHOULD be down well under (…)

As with any piece that angers me, I have to walk away for a bit, process it, and then write of it. In this case, I cannot especially the day after the fifth anniversary of terrorist attacks that befell this nation. Bush is seen as our defender against said terrorists. I would like to ask him then why is a US judge releasing a terrorist from jail?
For close to a year now, I have been the voice of 73 innocent victims of terrorism as they lost their (…)

The Disney company that owns ABC theme for as long as I can remember is, “It’s a small world after all” and with that said, their plans to air ‘A Path to 9/11’ on the eve of the fifth anniversary of September 11th, 2006 says to many that they are dealing with yet another fairy tale. But, this fairy tale if not corrected in order to relay the truth of the events that led up to this horrific attack, will be seen by and large by the American people as a film of fact instead (…)

How hi-tech Hezbollah called the shots By Iason Athanasiadis
BEIRUT - Hezbollah’s ability to repel the Israel Defense Forces during the recent conflict was largely due to its use of intelligence techniques gleaned from allies Iran and Syria that allowed it to monitor encoded Israeli communications relating to battlefield actions, according to Israeli officials, whose claims have been independently corroborated by the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA).

America by the numbers No. 1? Image by Jane Sherman
by Michael Ventura
No concept lies more firmly embedded in our national character than the notion that the USA is "No. 1," "the greatest." Our broadcast media are, in essence, continuous advertisements for the brand name "America Is No. 1." Any office seeker saying otherwise would be committing political suicide. In fact, anyone saying otherwise will be labeled "un-American." We’re an "empire," ain’t we? Sure we are. An empire without a (…)
