The My Lai massacre in Vietnam was not an isolated incident. As this article illustrates, it is part of a strategy of counterinsurgency warfare, which intends to eliminate popular support for the guerrillas by "shock and awe." It is still being managed and financed by the US all over the world. The starkest example is in Colombia, where paramilitaries are using chainsaws to slowly torture, dismember and kill peasant farmers who support the guerrillas.

And things could be getting worse for Powell. Even as the Bush White House seeks to preserve the FCC chair's handiwork--presumably on the theory that it is payback time for big media companies, like Clear Channel, General Electric and Rupert Murdoch's News Corporation, that have supported Bush's campaigns--the conservative leadership in the House is faced with an unprecedented revolt among Republicans, who are signing on to a bipartisan letter that demands a vote on whether the chamber should join the Senate in disapproving the rule changes.
