President Carter Discusses New Book on Israel and the Middle East :

Q: In your book, you argue that ‘because of powerful political,
economic, and religious forces in the United States, Israeli
government decisions are rarely questioned or condemned.’
Can you explain that more fully?

Iraq Turns Up The Heat

By Mike Whitney

Iran is playing a clever game in Iraq using US occupation
forces to crush the Ba’athist-led resistance while expanding
their influence via the Shiite militias. This is a “lose-lose”
situation for the United States. Continue

Exclusive: "Inside Al-Qaeda: A Spy's Story"

It's rare to speak to someone who's been a member of
al Qaeda, and rare too to interview a spy. BBC Video Report
His story is extraordinary, revealing the extent of al-Qaeda's
preparations - years before 9/11 - to target the west, but
also the British authorities' lack of awareness of the
growing threat of Islamic terrorism. Watch It

Family Feud: Little Bush Hits Back at Daddy

By Chris Floyd

Little Bush's suddenly conceived internal Iraq policy review
is just another salvo in this ongoing struggle. The Cheney
militarists will certainly not give up without a fight, even
after the "Gray Hawk Down" disaster of Rumsfeld's resignation.
Bush Junior will certainly not keep swallowing Daddy's cod liver
oil without throwing a fit now and then. Continue

Whistleblowers : Who Are They?

By Peter Rost

After blowing the whistle on fraud, 90 percent of the
whistleblowers were fired or demoted, 27 percent faced
lawsuits, 26 percent had to seek psychiatric or physical

An idea whose time had come

By Ted Rall

Special prosecutors ought to track down everyone, up to
and including Bush, who lied about WMDs in Iraq, chose
not to pursue Osama in Pakistan after 9/11, deliberately
withheld help that could have saved lives during the
Hurricane Katrina, and signed off on warrantless
wiretapping of American citizens. Law and order starts
at the top. Continue

Latin America is preparing to settle accounts with its white settler elite

By Richard Gott

The recent explosion of indigenous protest in Latin America,
culminating in the election this year of Evo Morales, an

precarious position of the white-settler elite that has
dominated the continent for so many centuries. Continue

Weapons of Mass Destruction Protected

By Bill Quigley.

What does it say about our society that personal sacrifices
to go to war to kill people in war are praised, while
personal sacrifices for peace are condemned? What
does it say that intentional destruction of cities and
communities and families and individuals are considered
totally legal, while actions trying to dismantle weapons
of mass destruction send people to prison? Continue
