U.S. military lied about soldiers' deaths| |
Comment: If this was an isolated lie, one public relations officer spinning the facts into something not-so-factual but perhaps a tad more heroic-sounding, maybe you could argue that the lie doesn't matter much. ...
Fact is, America's public conversation on Iraq has been contaminated by countless lies from the White House and military command. So many of official announcements have been just plain bull, any wise observer has to doubt anything this administration says.
And now, Bush, Cheney, and their league of liars are about to attack another nation, based on another set of lies ... Helen & Harry PERMANENT LINK |

US airstrikes in Somalia
kill civilians, miss suspects| |
Excerpt: None of the three most-wanted al Qaeda suspects believed to be hiding inside southern Somalia was killed by a U.S. air strike earlier this week, a senior U.S. official here said Thursday... But Somali government officials and witnesses claim scores of civilians have been killed by continuing air strikes in more than half a dozen villages around southern Somalia, with reports of new strikes as late as Wednesday.
Somalia for dummies
Comment: In brief, we are attacking a popular Muslim group that has had a stabilizing effect on Somalia and which has no proven ties to al Qaeda, by claiming that they're in league with al Qaeda. Plus, our violent actions are creating many actual terrorists. It’s a little like Iraq, if Saddam had been really popular and if the invasion of Iraq got almost no press coverage.

There is nothing more important than this
by Kathy Fisher, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: It's the good side of human nature, the very best, to try and keep trying to bring people to their senses. Trying to bring the injustice to a permanent halt. That is the best part of being alive, isn't it really? Doing what you can, to do something good? |

Contemplating the road ahead
by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News| |

Disneyland for sociopaths by Herb Ruhs, MD, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: The basic moral judgement in US business life is, "It's only wrong if you can't get away with it." Restraint is seen as a sin of commerce. In fact, "under the law," managers of corporations are required to place "shareholder value" above all other considerations of conducting business. From this blueprint we have constructed a Disneyland for sociopaths. |

What American "democratization" has
accomplished in Afghanistan and Iraq
by E13, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: Iraq is in a worse situation now than it was at the time of its elections, there is still no water, electricity, jobs, or security; over 100 civilians are dying violent deaths every day, and twice as money are being wounded, but there is a draft resolution on the table giving American and British oil companies access and rights to Iraqi oil for the next 30 years. Is this going to make the life of the Iraqis better, freer, more secure? The Afghanistan election story is even worse. ... |

Enforcers, tax collectors and domestic spies by Pavel C., Unknown News| |
Excerpt: Parts of America are already banana republics, like East L.A. I don't think the government is going to do anything but build more prisons and hire more paramilitary police. They have no intention of depriving themselves of the illegal drug economy, and anyway what would the poor people live off of if they didn't have products to market? And how would the formerly employed prison guards and cops survive in this Brave New 21st Century -- no skills except armed banditry... |

War -- what is it good for? by KathyFisher, Unknown News| |
Excerpt: You are scared to believe the truth. You don't want them knocking down your door, but the very fact that you are frightened of this means down deep you know they have too much power, they are out of control. You know what they did, but damn there's too much to give up if you admitted that they have committed crimes. |

Bipartisan crimes against humanity
by Leon Fisher, Unknown News| |

Impeachment: Hurry up! Here's why...
by Pavel C., Unknown News| |
Excerpt: Bush doesn't see that he is creating his own failures. He thinks that all this is someone else's fault. And he is emotionally lashing out, using the American military as a substitute for facing reality. He is in denial, still thinking he has a chance to redeem everything by continuing as before. |

Poverty is coming to town
by Mr. Chuckles, Unknown News| |
