"Liberation" as LBGT Charnel House - Anti-Gay Death Squads in Iraq SHARE
Ahhh, Freedom and Democracy in Iraq. Too bad the US-allied militias in charge now make Jerry Falwell look like a flaming liberal (no pun intended...). Gays and lesbians are being systematically hunted down and killed in a way that would make even a Nazi blush. It's not just gays either, any woman who dares sleep with ANYONE outside of marriage signs her death warrant. We've reduced the Iraqis to savagery, I hope we're proud...

The Hidden Nuke Subsidy Scam Behind the "Drill, Drill, Drill" Bill SHARE
Harvey Wasserman describes the stealthy efforts by Nuclear Power companies to get loan guarantees for 45 new reactors so that the taxpayers would be on the hook for all failed or halted constructions (of which there would probably be many). Public outcry is necessary to stop this bad law. Oh yea, insist on the repeal of the Price-Anderson Act too. It's the ultimate in "privatize profit and socialize loss". Capitalism anyone?

Gonzalez under fire for not investigating Texas Teen-Boy Sex Scandal SHARE
Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez, already under fire for the U.S. Attorney firing scandal, now faces allegations that he willfully failed to investigate serious charges of sexual abuse involving members of the Texas Youth Commission during the recent election season. All the members of the commission resigned March 17th. Teen boys abused by their jailers, and Gonzalez let it happen. This is going to blow sky high...

America's Alliance with Bin Laden SHARE
Justin Raimondo: At long last the gloves are off and the Bush Administration's true character is exposed by the bright light of the brave expose, this time by Seymour Hersh. The neo-con cockroaches go scurrying but that won't hide the true facts. The Bush Administration and their Saudi Allies once again find Bin Laden's ilk useful. Ah... but did they every really stop anyway? Sure doesn't seem like it...

Rape of 14 year old Iraqi girl planned over game of cards SHARE
The sick cruelty of it all. The soldiers, driven to the very abyss of depravity by a psychotic and sadistic war, planned the rape of this child over a game of cards, as if they were discussing a picnic. When they carried it out, she screamed in terror as they raped her, desperately trying to keep her legs together. She knew her entire family had just been murdered in the next room, and that she was probably next. She was...

Breakdown at the Pentagon Lie Factory SHARE
Once comfortably attired in his transparent clothing, the chill winds of failure have started making the mind-control illusion powers of Bush's ethereal Armani become threadbare, rendering the once-silken garment as coarse as the itchiest wool. Not to mention that the itch of the woolen blindfolds the American people have been wearing has finally driven many to discard them. Boy, he looks pitifully naked...

As Surge Begins in Baghdad, Insurgents Move North-- launch deadly attacks on US Troops and Iraq security forces SHARE
Insurgents have launched deadly assaults on Iraqi and US forces in northern Iraq, killing at least 34 people, while security forces pressed on with a major crackdown in Baghdad. In the bloodiest attack, a suicide bomber detonated explosives hidden in an animal feed truck outside a police station near Tikrit, killing 17 people including 12 policemen and prisoners and wounding 20 more, police said Sunday.

Najaf Massacre, The "Real Story "the NYT doesn't seem to get SHARE
Seems like the New York Times (and most of the rest of the media) has got it all wrong re: the "battle" in Najaf with the "Soldiers of Heaven". Reports filtering out would indicate that it was an Iraqi-army provoked massacre of fleeing pilgrims by overwhelming US air power. 263 Dead. 210 Injured. Plus another 25 Iraqi Army soldiers. The DisInfo corps are in full swing again, truth be damned...

More war crimes. More lies. More mayhem. Official story of "Soldiers of Heaven" battle disputed. SHARE
Hear about the "big battle" between Iraqi Government forces and the "Soldiers of Heaven" who were out to perpetrate spectacular acts of terrorism but were thankfully thwarted by the quick reactions of local troops? Yea... well it turns out that the official story might not actually be true. More like a reaction turned debacle turned massacre. Patrick Cockburn reports on what the Iraqi media are saying, and it ain't pretty...

US Military Opens High-Tech Rehab Center for War Amputees SHARE
Of the over 20,000 US Iraq War wounded, more than 500 have lost limbs and are now dealing with life as amputees. The Pentagon just opened a new rehab center for them at Fort Sam Houston in Texas. The picture shows a line of soldiers arriving for the dedication, marching in one by one, on crutches all of them. Their missing legs made it easier to see how long the line actually was.

Dick Cheney on Trial SHARE
The opening statements in the Scooter Libby trial struck official Washington like twin thunderbolts, opening up a huge fissure in the Bush administration at the same time that everything else – the security situation in Iraq, the Republican Party, the president's approval rating – is falling apart at the seams.

Justin Raimondo on Libby SHARE
It's all about LYING, writes Justin Raimondo of AntiWar. Lying about the war, lying about the yellowcake, lying about WMDs. But like Al Capone and his tax evasion rap, the only thing that seems to count is lying to a grand jury. That, they will still bust you for. Carl Rove escaped while it looks like Scooter Libby will be the sacrificial lamb for the Administration's lies.

Terrified Soldiers Terrifying People SHARE
FALLUJAH - The US brutally raped this once proud "City of Mosques" with a systematic, house-by-house search-and-totally-destroy mission unrivaled in its savagery since the obliteration of the ancient Vietnamese capital of Hue. Now the desolate ruins hold desperate Iraqi civilians, refugees really, and the freaked-out, scared-sh*tless, teenage sons and daughters of America. Cruel policies make war criminals out of farmboys...

US Conducts Airstrikes in Somalia SHARE
A U.S. Air Force gunship has conducted a strike against suspected members of al Qaeda in Somalia, CBS News national security correspondent David Martin reports exclusively. You could call it a "strike" or you could call it an "assassination by mass murder". The AC-130 gunship is capable of firing thousands of rounds per second, and sources say a lot of bodies were seen on the ground after the strike...

Somalia: US Foreign Policy and Gangsterism SHARE
Why the US supports the warlords.
Why indeed? It seems like 2007 is back to the future in 1984-land with our once-enemies now our friends and the one force for stability Somalia had now under brutal attack by our thuggish new "friends". But we've always been at war with Eastasia, don't you remember? We saw it at two minutes hate. Double-plus good, eh?

Syria Wants Peace, Causing Near-Panic in Israel SHARE
Zvi Bar'el writes in Haaretz - In one of the news broadcasts that he presented last week on Channel 1 television, Haim Yavin defined the Syrian feelers as an "escalation in the peace attack," no less. No one could better describe the panic that Syrian President Bashar Assad is arousing in Israel. Attacks are something we understand. Therefore, it appears that peace has no meaning unless it comes in the form of an attack.

Saddam's execution and the future of Kurdish national demand SHARE
Direct from Kurdistan - you get the Kurdish perspective on the recent events surrounding the execution of Saddam Hussein. Quite interesting list of objections to US policy. They hate Saddam as least as much as the next guy, but they smell a rat in the way he was quickly put to death for the murder of... Shias. The Kurds feel kinda like the last time they trusted the US... Oops...

An all-consuming 'war on terror' SHARE
Ah, the battle against "terror". Would that include an all-out war on slasher flicks? Some lessening of our own inspiration of "terror" on the populace of unlucky cities and villages that we visit with unspeakably powerful explosives and Waffen SS-style house-to-house searches for "suspects". Doesn't that inspire terror too? Or is this all just a big procurement scam? The signs are ominous...

Saddam Hussein Executed - Hanged in the Green Zone SHARE
Saddam Hussein Executed. No long, drawn-out appeals process in the "new" Iraq. Hang-em' High was the order of the day. Seems the former Iraqi president won't ever get a chance to tell what he knew about the current American president, and his friends, family and associates. Seems the US Government couldn't shuffle him off this mortal coil fast enough. Well George, you won't have Saddam to kick around any more. Good luck...
