The leading Republican in the Senate said Sunday that the previous Republican administration had been mistaken in ever trying alleged terrorists in civilian federal courts.
"We now know that was a [...]

Good 2007 Fox article about the U.S. State Dept. granting immunity to Blackwater killers.

"Self-Radicalized"

December 28, 2009

If a prominent national event happens…..the arrogant, narcissistic chump Joe Lieberman, of the Lieberman-4-Lieberman Party, usually runs to stand in front of the nearest Fox camera. Recently, during the buildup to the Senate vote on health care reform, Holy Joe was as pleased as he could be with himself for making himself the center of [...]

Barack W. Obama

December 1, 2009

In his scheduled speech tonight at West Point, President Obama will make one of the biggest mistakes of his short presidency. Obama has accepted General McChrystal's recommendations on Afghanistan in their entirety. Those recommendations are unrealistic and have more to do with military testosterone, ego, and the Empire's military industrial complex than the interests of [...]

New 9-11 News

November 27, 2009

The 9-11 tragedy has been in the news recently because of the announcement by the Obama administration that the U.S. would try a handful of 9-11 conspirators in New York City.

Wrong On Afghanistan

November 25, 2009

If you read the AB Journal's Afghanistan editorial today, I suggest you also read this from The Nation, for perspective.
First, let me say that I have been very appreciative of the Beacon's editorials recently. I also appreciate it that I no longer have to look at the ridiculously ignorant "political" cartoons of Chip Bok…. they [...]

Virginia Democratic Senator Jim Webb on AG Eric Holder's announcement that five of the 9-11 plotters will be tried in New York federal court…..
Those who have committed acts of international terrorism are enemy combatants, just as certainly as the Japanese pilots who killed thousands of Americans at Pearl Harbor. It will be disruptive, costly, and [...]

Why "They" Hate Us

October 19, 2009

Glenn Greenwald…
"One of the most astounding feats in propaganda is how we've managed to take people who live in a country which we invade, bomb and occupy — and who fight against us because we're doing that — and call them "Terrorists," thereby "justifying" continuing to bomb and occupy their country further."
That sentence may not [...]

Tea Partiers: The Incarnation of Dick Cheney

September 15, 2009

Updated below
Humans will lie about almost anything…..check that….Humans will lie about anything. I'm not sure whether the human habit of lying can be attributed to evolution or not. Perhaps we have been programmed over 15,000 years or so to deceive other humans for self-preservation purposes.
Whatever the reason…..dishonesty, lying, deception….have always been human traits.
In the 90's, [...]

Perception Of An Investigation

August 25, 2009

As the Obama administration continues to do everything it can to cover-up for Bush/Cheney-era crimes against the American people, we now learn that Eric Holder, Obama's Attorney General, has appointed Republican, John Durham, as a "special prosecutor" to investigate "alleged detainee mistreatment"….
Holder has named longtime prosecutor John H. Durham, who has parachuted into crisis situations [...]
