Colonialism changes form, but continues unabated as it has for over five hundred years. While reading King Leopold's Ghost, I was greatly impressed by the similarities between the fabrications and lies used by Leopold to justify his actions with those used by George W. Bush to justify the Iraq war. The economic motivation and incredible hypocrisy of both men are also similar. |

A masthead editorial from the NYTimes on a Republican overreaction. How scared are the Republicans running? How bad a case of the heebie-jeebies does the merest mention of Michael Moore give them? See for yourself how the latest Threat to American Civilization -- anarchic, wanton song dedications -- has been nipped in the bud. Maybe it's time for the Committee on the Present Danger to step in and tell us what song dedications are acceptable? |

Bush Cronies Profit from War in Iraq While Our Soldiers Die Every Day |

The complaints come from the International Advisory and Monitoring Board -- a bookkeeping creation of the UN Security Council that includes members from the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. The board was set up to make sure Iraq's oil revenue would be handled in proper fashion throughout the American occupation.
The audit in question only covers the start of the war to the end of last year, and is being conducted by one of the global accounting giants, the firm KPMG, whose auditors bitched just before last weekend that repeated routine requests for internal files relating to more than $10 billion in Iraq's oil proceeds since the war began have been stiff-armed by the Pentagon and White House. One of these internal audits includes three no-bid contracts worth a total $1.4 billion awarded to the Texas oil services behemoth Halliburton, the company Vice President Dick Cheney ran before stepping down to join Bush the Younger's year 2000 presidential campaign ticket. (Cheney still receives almost $1 million annually as part of his severance contract.) |
