I am sad to say, I've not seen or heard anything convincing from any of these idiots. I still believe that Cheney and Rumsfeld knew, but there's no proof. Prof. Jones claims that he's got the molecular evidence, but doesn't present it. It would be okay, I suppose if the American public believed these assholes, because it's better than believing Bush, but wouldn't it be great if any of these people actually had anything besides half-baked assertions backed up by evidence that does not in fact...

Some guy goes into a Jewish business in Seattle, and murders one innocent woman and wounds five others. What's his excuse? He's "mad at Israel." Well, I have some news for you genius: None of those six people were "Israel." Nor all of them in one room together. In fact, there is no such thing as Israel, unless just used as shorthand for land (which can not bear responsibility for anything) or for the individuals who control the government: Olmert and his advisors, the military chiefs, etc. The...

Raw Story: On Feb. 6, 2006, Jessie Lee Williams, Jr., a 40-year-old black man in a Southern Mississippi jail, was allegedly hooded and hog-tied by police, beaten about the head and testicles and ultimately died from blunt injuries to the head. The coroner determined the death was a homicide. The local sheriff indicated law enforcement agencies were investigating and that the individual targeted by the investigation is

Last week, Antiwar.com ran a story by Joshua Frank - of hate Hillary from the Left fame - questioning whether the story was true that Hezbollah had crossed the border to capture the two Israelis, or if, in fact, the Israelis had crossed the line first. Now AWC regular contributer, Ran HaCohen, has set the record straight. Frank's sources don't hold up. Hezbollah started it.

What a load of, uh, untruths. "So the analysts talking on cable news about Hezbollah "hiding within the civilian population" clearly have spent little time if any in the south Lebanon war zone and don't know what they're talking about. Hezbollah doesn't trust the civilian population and has worked very hard to evacuate as much of it as possible from the battlefield. And this is why they fight so well -- with no one to spy on them, they have lots of chances to take the Israel Defense Forces by...

"The goal of Islamic fourth generation forces is the destruction of most, if not all, Arab state governments, so Hezbollah is winning strategically as well. One can almost watch the legitimacy drain away from the region's decrepit states, with incalculable consequences for American interests. "Not that Washington is doing anything to protect those interests. On the contrary, it has rushed more bombs and aviation fuel to Israel, lest there be any unwelcome letup in the destruction of Lebanon....

Jim Bovard explains, on the Antiwar.com blog (where we are very happy to have him), that once upon a time, the US Congress criminalized violations of the Geneva Conventions on how to make war "properly." (It is shameful to all adult Americans that we would ever need to rely on foreign treaties to tell us not to torture people), but anyway... Now, "Attorney General Gonzales is sweating that even top government officials (like himself) could face charges if the law is vigorously enforced....

From ynetnews: "Some 200 left-wing activists marched outside the house of IDF Chief of Staff Dan Halutz at the Tzahala neighborhood in Tel Aviv Saturday evening, to protest the killing of civilians in Gaza on Friday. The demonstrators chanted slogans such as "Tzahala residents, there's a murderer in your neighborhood," and raised signs calling on the government to "put a stop to the murder of civilians" and stating, "Halutz is a killer, the intifada shall prevail." Activists also shouted,...

Watch out! It's the stab in the back.

Am I the only one who sees a problem here? No Truce 'For Weeks' as Talks Stall Hezbollah Demands Immediate Truce, Prisoner Swap Iran Calls for Cease-Fire Syria Calls for Cease-Fire Rice Warns Iran, Syria Not to Oppose Cease-Fire

James Bamford has done it again. Update: Hey, I'm serious, read this.

If our "servants" had just dedicated a few spooks and a few thousand Marines, the enemy would've been wiped out at Tora Bora. If Libertarian Party candidate Harry Browne had won the election of 2000, September 11th probably wouldn't have happened at all. The Terrorists

"Russia's a big country and you're a big country." Isn't their an algorithm or something that explains the declining quality of the cheif executive as the size of the empire grows?
