Even though it's really all the State's fault that they did not go to the FISA court and get permission to search Zacharias Moussaoui's computer until after the 9/11 attacks, it is true that he was in custody, had knowlege of at least some of the hijackers, and failed to give warning. For this the man should hang, but some stupid lawyer for the TSA had to screw all that up by sending detailed notes on how to testify to all the government witnesses in the sentencing. She is now getting a paid...

While President Bush was threatening Iran on Monday, he blamed the Iraqi Shi'ites and Iran for the insurgency. According to the AFP, Bush said that: "Tehran has been responsible for at least some of the increasing lethality of anti-coalition attacks by providing Shia militia with the capability to build improvised explosive devices in Iraq." I know what you're thinking: President Bush is so stupid that giant mistakes like this should just be taken with a grain of salt. Even if he's lashing out...

That's it folks. It's time to stop pretending that this is America anymore. It's not. After 60 years of the postwar Anglo-American empire, the Declaration of Independence has finally been formally annulled by the crime ring currently cloaking itself in the forms of a long-lost Republic. According to Stars and Stripes, the American mission in Afghanistan is to be run by the Redcoats. "STAVANGER, Norway

The Toledo Blade is reporting that the US Marine Corps is again conducting urban warfare training exersizes in the streets of the USA, this time attacking downtown office buildings in Toledo, Ohio. Are we to believe that this is to help them in their imperial mission overseas? That downtown office buildings in Ohio more closely resemble the terrain in Iraq than custom built taxpayer set pieces on the hundreds of bases around this country? Or is it simply that they want the soldiers and...

Dr. Paul's press man, Jeff Deist informs me that the one good congressman has easily survived a primary challenge by Frank Sinatra's daughter-in-law, Cynthia. The GOP always tries to thwart my man in the primaries, but it never works. Liberty still sells in Texas. From The Facts: "ANGLETON

That is the false choice presented by that creator of the Arab-Afghan Mujahideen, Zbigniew Brezinski, in his new piece for The American Interest "The Dilemma of the Last Sovereign." It is mostly a bunch of nothing about what you already know is the Bush administrations' overdoing the battle against the enemy that Zbig and the boys had created for him, mixed with his wish that "we" could get back to that good old time collective security which he pretends isn't what got us into this mess in the...

The Niger forgeries Part one of her interview here. RS: What about Panorama, the publication to which the Niger documents now known to be forgeries were delivered? You wrote for Panorama as we had previously discussed. Ledeen: As I've told you before, these claims are nonsensical. I have no point of contact with the Niger documents, I haven't even seen them or read them. I've never met Rocco Martino, and the sum total of my "work with SISMI" consists of one half day in Rome. RS: No point of...

Well, Murray Waas at the National Journal has another scoop, and this ought to be a big one. It seems Waas has confirmed that Bush was told about the State Department's INR, the DOE and the IAEA's insistance that those infamous aluminum tubes were for rockets back in October of 2002. Rice has lied repeatedly, claiming that Bush never heard of such a thing until after the war started. The only reason they were getting away with it was because the administration had only released portions of the...

Harry Browne has died. Liberty has lost one of its greatest champions. As I wrote before, it was Harry Browne who first introduced me to libertarianism during his run for president in 1996. When I saw him in the third party debate on C-SPAN (really the third, fourth, fifth and sixth party debate), I realised there was a name for the way I thought. His opposition to the government's involvement in any aspect of the lives of the people never wavered. When I first interviewed him, I was shocked...

When I interviewed [.mp3] former US Marine and lie-debunking UN weapons inspector, Scott Ritter, last year, he got all bent out of shape when I brought up Iraqi General Hussein Kamal [at about 38:00]. Kamal, Saddam Hussein's son-in-law, defected to Jordan in 1995, after which he was debriefed by the CIA, MI-6, IAEA, UNSCOM etc., and told them - with the paperwork to prove it - that Iraq had initially attempted to deceive the UN weapons inspectors after Operation Desert Storm

"I describe myself as a democratic revolutionary, I don't think of myself as "conservative" at all. Indeed it seems to me that most self-described leftists today are reactionaries, and have lost the right to describe themselves as people of the left."
