Not that I care about Iranian cops, just pointing out that the U.S. backs private terrorist groups all the time. Even this Post article reminds us that the CIA supports these thugs, though they forgot to mention Andrew Cockburn's scoop about the recent $300 million the Democrats appropriated to Bush/Cheney for support to terrorist groups like Jundullah. As a side note, isn't it the American conservatives who believe that cops' lives are more significant that the rest of us, since they "have a...

Glenn Greenwald Will Stay a Good One
When the Dems are back in the White House. See him comment on Iraq Obombya's (Thanks Bob.) support for the new wiretapping/amnesty bill. One point of disagreement with you, Glenn. Barack is indeed as bad as McCain, it's just that McCain is worse.

McCain flip flops on war for oil
I just came across a clip on Lew Rockwell in which John McCain is attacking Ron Paul for suggesting the Iraq war is, in part, about oil, so i thought i would whip together this little video showing the clip juxtaposed with another clip of McCain admitting troops are in the middle east for oil-

War Party Tries to Blame Next Guy for Giving Iraq to Iran
But you and I remember that it was Bush and Cheney who installed the Supreme Islamic Council of Abdul Aziz al Hakim and the Iranian revolutionary guard and has been supporting them all along. Well, in case you haven't been able to learn that up until now... Here's some Gareth Porter for you. Also, Iranian intelligence asset John McCain's handler, Ahmad "Hero in error" Chalabi, is suspected by the Defense Intelligence Agency of using his unwitting dupes - like McCain, Richard Perle, Harold...

And then there was Firefox 3
Quietly yesterday (I was using it for the past 24 hours without even knowing it), the stable Firefox 3 was released. This site was designed for it, so if you're a regular visitor, I suggest upgrading. Alternatively, you could use Opera, if so inclined. I wouldn't suggest using ... that other browser -- unless pain is something you enjoy. For those (like me) using Ubuntu, enable the hardy-updates repository in Synaptic, update and you'll get FF3 automatically. For those unfortunate folks using...
