Before, when Karen Kwiatkowski, Jim Lobe, Bob Dreyfuss/Jason Vest and Sy Hersh reported on the activities of the Office of Special Plans it was just rumor and innuendo. Now the Inpector General concludes the very same thing. Since the State itself now says so, it has become fact. Sort of like when the Columbia had "apparently" blown up over Palestine, Texas until it was officially announced by the sub-retard-in-chief 3 hours later back in 2003. Update: Doug Feith on NPR this morning. Hahahaha!...

Craig Unger has another great one in Vanity Fair: The neoconservatives have had Iran in their sights for more than a decade. On July 8, 1996, Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's newly elected prime minister and the leader of its right-wing Likud Party, paid a visit to the neoconservative luminary Richard Perle in Washington, D.C.

Whenever the voters grow weary of the plutocracy, they’re offered the alleged...

His research focuses on China’s political economy, foreign policy, social change, and human rights issues. The former Kennedy School of Government Mason Fellow will be discussing the Falun Gong.  Tune into BlogTalkRadio at 4:30 PM Pacific.

to have to root for the Rockefellers. Blog entry by Lew Rockwell: "The Eastern Establishment Is Pro-Peace Well, not quite, but the Rockefeller-neocon split continues. I hate to agree with the Trilateral Commission types, but the more conservative warmongers and imperialists are right to see the neocons as insane. The Rockfellers opposed the 2nd Iraq war, or at least the regime-change part, and now oppose the planned war on Iran as possibly leading to an economic calamity (the dead don't much...
