Tomgram: Thomas Frank, Why the Tea Party Needs Mitt Here comes Mitt Romney, the soul of American capitalism in the flesh. Look back over his career as a predator drone at Bain Capital: Isn't it the exact sort of background you always insist politicians ought to have? Isn't it the sort of titanic enterprise for which you lust, as you wave your copy of Atlas Shrugged in the air?

Tomgram: Nick Turse, The Life and Death of American Drones The recent losses of the Pentagon's robot Sentinel in Iran, the Reaper in the Seychelles, and the Predator in Kandahar, however, offer a window into a future in which the global skies will be filled with drones that may prove far less wondrous than Americans have been led to believe. The United States could turn out to be relying on a fleet of robots with wings of clay.

Noam Chomsky, The Imperial Mentality and 9/11 Perhaps the Bin Laden assassination was perceived by the administration as an "act of vengeance." And perhaps the rejection of the legal option of a trial reflects a difference between the moral culture of 1945 and today.

On Americans (Not) Getting By (Again) In defiance of all reason and compassion, the criminalization of poverty has actually intensified as the weakened economy generates ever more poverty. The number of ordinances against the publicly poor has been rising since 2006, along with the harassment of the poor for more "neutral" infractions like jaywalking, littering, or carrying an open container.

The Secret War in 120 Countries Growth has been exponential since September 11, 2001, as SOCOM's baseline budget almost tripled from $2.3 billion to $6.3 billion. If you add in funding for the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, it has actually more than quadrupled to $9.8 billion in these years.

William Astore: The New American Isolationism Marked by a calculated estrangement from war's horrific realities and mercenary purposes, the new isolationism magically turns an historic term on its head, for it keeps us in wars, rather than out of them.

Tomgram: Robert Dreyfuss, Heck of a Job, Maliki! In this piece, Dreyfuss, who first brought the swirling rumors in Baghdad (and Washington) about a coup d'etat that might end Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki's brief, disastrous reign to our attention, follows the latest twists and turns in the story, exploring just where a desperate White House and a desperate Iraqi government may be headed -- and the answer seems to be: over a cliff.
