2006-08-09T15:05:21Z

Lebanon, 2006, and Czechoslovakia, 1938 the historical parallels The New Munich http://www.stopusa.be/scripts/texte.php?section=BM&langue=3&id=24795
Justin Raimondo 7th August 2006 Antiwar.com
As the rape of Lebanon proceeds on schedule, the "civilized world" rushes to give its imprimatur to the slaughter.
The U.S. and France are sponsoring a United Nations resolution that neither calls for a cease-fire nor demands the withdrawal of invading Israeli troops. So much for the UN (…)

2006-03-21T20:55:34Z

December 19, 2005 Who Are the War Criminals? Naming Names Behind every war criminal is a criminal idea by Justin Raimondo Editorial note: What follows is the text of a speech delivered on Dec. 16, in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, at the 2005 Perdana Peace Forum.
The theme for this part of the program is "Crimes Against Peace, Crimes Against Humanity." We are discussing here the question of defining and dealing with war crimes. In any such discussion, however, we must start out by (…)

The Lobby: Why is American policy in the Middle East skewered in favor of Israel?

2006-03-20T19:22:17Z

American foreign policy has been weighed down for all too many years by an albatross hung round Uncle Sam's neck, one that distorts our stance especially vis-à-vis Middle Eastern issues and ultimately works against U.S. interests in the region and around the world: that albatross is unconditional support for the state of Israel. Of course, saying this amounts to a hate crime in today's political atmosphere, and it is almost impossible to criticize the Jewish state without being accused of (…)

Libby: The War Party's Kamikaze

Why did Scooter lie - and so badly?
by Justin Raimondo
"It's not over."
Out of Fitzgerald's hour-long press conference, these three words had the most resonance. Before we get into that, however, let's look at the man who has come out from behind the screen of this very closely-held investigation.
Fitzgerald's debut at the press conference put on display a character who might have been imagined by a novelist. He seems to embody the principle of justice: the clear concise nature of (…)

A Second Take on Scooter-gate. It's all about treason

2005-10-06T11:08:59Z

by Justin Raimondo
Editorial note: The original version of this column, which ran on October 3, contained a number of errors involving dates, which I have now corrected. I have also added a significant amount of new material, so much that it is, for all intents and purposes, quite a different piece from the original.
It isn't generally known that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff - now revealed as New York Times reporter Judith Miller's source in the (…)

9/11 Revisionism, Revisited The mystery of 'Able Danger'

2005-08-13T00:41:34Z

by Justin Raimondo
In January of this year, Rep. Curt Weldon made a speech to the House of Representatives - a speech which no one took notice of, and which hardly anyone heard, except maybe inveterate C-SPAN watchers - in which he made a number of extraordinary assertions:
"Mr. Speaker, I rise because information has come to my attention over the past several months that is very disturbing. I have learned that, in fact, one of our Federal agencies had, in fact, identified the major New (…)

No Sympathy for the Neocons : Mick Jagger runs with the 'neocon' meme

2005-08-11T04:04:40Z

by Justin Raimondo
The news that the Rolling Stones are coming out with a song called "Sweet Neocon" that takes the administration to task for its Iraq war policy is ... music to my ears:
"You call yourself a Christian, I call you a hypocrite/ You call yourself a patriot. Well, I think your are full of sh*t!... How come you're so wrong, my sweet neo-con."
Wrong? Neocons? They'll never admit it, although the whole world knows it.
That's a defining characteristic of these (…)

Bizarro Iraq : a war of "liberation" brings only slavery - and death

2005-08-08T23:36:10Z

by Justin Raimondo
Cindy Sheehan is on a mission. The death of her son in combat in Iraq has sent her on her own personal odyssey, a quest for the answer to the question: Why? The latest stop in that journey: Crawford, Texas, right outside the presidential ranch, where she and a few intrepid antiwar protesters marched in the triple-digit heat, determined to confront the author of this war. Bush didn't come out to meet her, but, surprisingly, she was met by two of his top aides - national (…)

AIPAC Spy Nest Exposed : New indictments implicate unnamed government officials and reporters

2005-08-06T02:48:07Z

by Justin Raimondo
The other shoe has finally dropped in the case of the spy scandal involving the American Israeli Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). In addition to five espionage-related charges filed against former Pentagon analyst Larry Franklin, two counts of conspiracy to communicate classified information to a foreign power have been lodged against former AIPAC foreign policy director Steve Rosen, and a single count of conspiracy against Rosen's assistant, former AIPAC Iran (…)

Cheney's Plan: Nuke Iran

Stand athwart the apocalypse, and shout: "No!"
by Justin Raimondo
A recent poll shows six in ten Americans think a new world war is coming: the same poll says about 50 percent approve of the dropping of the atomic bomb on the Japanese cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the end of World War II. Somewhat inexplicably, about two-thirds say nuking those two cities was "unavoidable." One can only wonder, then, what their reaction will be to this ominous news, revealed in a recent issue of (…)
