Study: Exxon Valdez Oil Lingers in Alaska by Dan Joling Oil spilled by the Exxon Valdez 17 years ago extends farther into Alaska’s tidal waters than previously thought and could be causing long-term harm to wildlife, a study concludes.

By PATRICK COCKBURN
Arbil, Iraq.
One person is being assassinated in Basra every hour, as order in Iraq’s second city disintegrates, according to an Iraqi Defence Ministry official.
And a quarter of all Iraqi children suffer from malnutrition, a survey of 20,000 households by the Iraqi government and Unicef says.
The number of violent killings in Basra is now at a level close to that of Baghdad, and marks the failure of the British (…)

Invisible History
Few Americans know about the historic event that happened on January 6, 2005, the official date for counting electoral votes. For the first time since 1877, congressmembers challenged the electoral count.

Chickenshit Nation:
What is up with people these days? The feds have got you looking under every shoe for a dirty bomber, every turban for a nuclear handkerchief, every bed for the Bogeyman.

In the on-going vicious occupation of Iraq, the American and British are seemingly meticulous about reporting their own casualties - as opposed to Iraqi casualties, whom they refuse to count, despite obliged under international law to do so.

Remember the old cartoons where the character walks off a cliff and continues walking on thin air until he looks down and plunges? America walked off the cliff on April 18, 2006, and has been suspended above the nuclear abyss since, set to plunge down at a moment’s notice. Meanwhile, it is in a catatonic state of collective stupor, or perhaps it should be (…)

George W. Bush is suffering from a peculiar but not that uncommon form of madness in which a pathological part of his psyche has co-opted all of the healthy parts into its service. Speaking about such a pathological condition, Jung commented that “...an unknown ‘something’ has taken possession of a smaller or greater portion of the psyche and asserts its hateful and harmful existence undeterred by all our insight, reason, and energy, thereby proclaiming the power of the unconscious over the (…)
