Meryl Nass, a practicing physician and blogger on anthrax-related issues, discusses the FBI's flawed anthrax investigation, the persecution of innocent suspects (Ayaad Assaad, Steven Hatfill) that may have been set up as patsies, deliberately misrepresented evidence in the FBI's case against Bruce Ivins and the possible link between anthrax vaccine and Gulf War Syndrome.

03/09/10 – Gareth Porter – The Scott Horton Show

Gareth Porter, independent historian and journalist for Inter Press Service, discusses the US military’s descriptive excesses that preceded their offensive on the Afghan 'city' of Marjah, the US counterinsurgency strategy of establishing a favorable narrative to shape domestic public opinion, the winners and losers in the global war on terrorism and the military-industrial complex’s goal of permanent occupation.

Henderson, author of The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics, discusses the 'Across the Political Spectrum Against War and Militarism' conference in Washington, D.C., Milton Friedman’s prominent opposition to the draft in the late 60s, the need to minimize divisive fringe issues during antiwar protests and why conservatives squirm when they hear the words 'peace' and 'imperialism.'

03/09/10 – Anthony Gregory – The Scott Horton Show

Anthony Gregory, Editor-in-Chief at Campaign for Liberty, discusses Obama’s rhetorical differences and policy similarities with the Bush administration, why the PATRIOT Act has (unfortunately) been around too long to be repealed, apologists who blame the 'tough guy' Republican political trap for Obama’s hawkishness and why public support for torture and war has increased since Bush left office.

Psychosis

Those in charge of America's government and broader state establishment have completely lost their minds. Apparently, they really tell each other, and believe, the very same crap they use on us. In fact, the propaganda we suffer may just be the spillover from what is truly intended for consumption by the political classes themselves in the first place.

Illinois Judge Allows Torture Suit to Procede

David Frum Smacked Down Again

You'd think this war-mongering hack and George W. Bush hagiographer would eventually tire of being publicly humiliated every time he puts words to print, but no. Apparently Frum's parents forgot to teach him the virtue of shame. Or perhaps his master Richard Perle beat it out of him.
