AND SO HE STAYED HOME
James Kilpatrick
On the Fourth of July in 2002, John Gilmore set
out to fly from the West Coast to Washington, D.C.
As things turned out, he never made the trip, mainly
because the airline security folks wouldn't let him
board a plane. He hasn't flown commercially from
that day to this

Interrogation Techniques Rejected By Military Get Bush Approval
By Adam Liptak
Many of the harsh interrogation techniques just
repudiated by the Pentagon would be made lawful
by legislation put forward the same day by the Bush
administration, and the U.S. courts would be forbidden
from intervening. Continue

'Gaza is a jail. Nobody is allowed to leave. We are all starving now'
By Patrick Cockburn in Gaza
Gaza is dying. The Israeli siege of the Palestinian
enclave is so tight that its people are on the edge of
starvation. Here on the shores of the Mediterranean a
great tragedy is taking place that is being ignored
because the world's attention has been diverted by
wars in Lebanon and Iraq. Continue

The 9-11 Commission held its twelfth and final public
hearing June 16-17, 2004, in Washington, DC. On June
16 the Commission heard from several of the federal
government's top law enforcement and intelligence experts
on al Qaeda and the 9-11 plot. It was at this hearing
that the question "What motivated them to do it?"
was finally asked. Watch it.

Paul Craig Roberts : Books are our salvation
Books teach people their language. They also teach
that few problems can be solved by violence and that
problems are not solely the preserve of the poor and
unfortunate. Real life is in books, and the more artificial
virtual reality becomes, the more we need books.

The Torturer's Apprentice
By Ray McGovern
Grabbing the headlines today is the fact that Bush
has admitted that the CIA has taken high-value
captives to prisons abroad for interrogation using
“tough” techniques. More telling is the fact that
CIA interrogators are not bound by the strictures
of the new Army field manual, and that the president
is determined to maintain in place detention centers
where CIA interrogators can ply their trade at
his bequest. Continue

Protecting Our Torturers
Bad Faith and Distortions From the American Psychological Association
By Stephen Soldz
Those psychologists and citizens of goodwill who don’t
believe in torture as public policy should cry out with
one voice at such indifference to human barbarity. If
we fail to act we cannot claim, as did so many Germans,
"We didn’t know!" Continue

Five Years After and We Still Don’t Know

The reason so many people doubt the 9/11 story is not
because they have psychological needs for conspiracies,

Ethnic Cleansing in New Orleans
By Charles Sullivan
Those who know their history will recognize the familiar
patterns of Plutocracy at work. That is how the government
has always treated the poor, just as it has always exploited
the working class and sent them to die in wars not of
their making. How could any but the ignorant and foolish
dare call this democracy? Continue

Book says CIA tried to provoke Saddam to war
More than a year before the invasion of Iraq the CIA
devised a plan, codenamed Anabasis, to use Iraqi exile
fighters to seize an air base and declare a revolt against
Saddam Hussein in the hope that his response would
create a pretext for war, according to a book
published tomorrow.
