Larisa Alexandrovna at Raw Story has done it again. In her newest article, she explains that Valerie Wilson/Plame was investigating Iran's nuclear dealings for her CIA front company Brewster-Jennings at the time she was outed by the White House Iraq Group, causing "significant damage" to US national security: "Speaking under strict confidentiality, intelligence officials revealed heretofore unreported elements of Plame's work. Their accounts suggest that Plame's outing was more serious than...

Hooray! An American newspaper has finally decided to cover the plan that Bush and friends had cooked up in early 2003 to make it look like Iraq had started the war by deliberately getting a U-2 spy-plane painted in UN colors shot down, as revealed in the book "Lawless World," by British author Philippe Sands, UK Channel 4, the BBC, the London Times and, of course, Antiwar.com (9 days ago). Says the LA Times, "Bush told Blair that 'the U.S. was thinking of flying U2 reconnaissance aircraft with...

Thursday night I met a guy who, it turns out, was a soldier in town (Austin) from Ft. Hood. He was a nice chap. We chatted for a while, then when he complained about the overwhelming show of force by the local cops on their taxpayer horses, I took the opportunity - of course - to say something to the effect of, "All government does is tax, torture and murder people."

Alberto Gonzales insist that the National Security Agency's warrantless wiretapping of American citizens is a necessary "terrorist surveillance program." And polls show that most Americans support permitting the government to tap the phone calls and e-mails of those considered "suspicious." But what exactly does that...
