Commentary :: Iraq
The Fall of the House of Bush
Current rating: 0
27 May 2006
Hubris, meaning pride or arrogance, is a very human flaw. Bush wanted a war with Iraq more than he wanted to catch Osama and thought he could manipulate the American people into confusing the two and supporting a war under false pretenses.

'No Factory Farmed Organics'; Consumers Across the U.S. Tell the USDA to Not Allow Imposter Organics
Current rating: 0
26 May 2006
"Many stores, especially big box stores, such as Wal-Mart, are scrambling to sell more products with the organic label as consumer demand for these products increases. Instead of the stocking more high-quality organic products, these industrial farms and retail giants are selling the public low-quality products. We are calling on the USDA to stop allowing these companies to label these sham products as organic,"

Commentary :: Economy
The Dilemma of Capitalism
Current rating: 0
26 May 2006
Without capitalism, we could not live but we can hardly survive with it. Shifting social costs is the real core of capitalism. Politics is powerless toward the economy. Governments must weigh the control of capital against positional deterioration.

Hunger Strike and Daily Marches in Chicago
Current rating: 0
25 May 2006
Modified: 10:24:14 AM
The immigrants of Chicago are leaders throughout the nation, they were the first in going en masse (half million on March 10 and May) and the only city where all the IFCO workers were released without bail. These raids are a form of punishment for everyone who marched for legalization. Currently, some IFCO workers are on hunger strike to protest deportation of workers, and there will be daily marches in Chicago.

Atrocities on POW?
Current rating: 0
25 May 2006
Today every person, who is harmful for American interests, is a terrorist, in the eyes of America. And if the same person is active in terror activities in Russia, China, Japan, Germany or India or like that in other countries, he isn’t a terrorist for the Bush administration.

Iran Target of Apparent Disinformation Ploy
Current rating: 0
23 May 2006
Juan Cole, president of the U.S. Middle East Studies Association (MESA), described the Taheri article and its appearance first in Canada's Post as "typical of black psychological operations campaigns", particularly in its origin in an "out of the way newspaper that is then picked up by the mainstream press" -- in this case, the Jerusalem Post and the New York Post. A former U.S. intelligence official described the article's relatively obscure provenance as a "real sign of (a) disinformation operation".
