Good riddance to McChrystal. His role in the coverup of the killing of Pat Tillman alone was enough to qualify him for the Pentagon Rogues Gallery of the new Millennium. Petreaus is better than McChrystal because at least we get to sometimes watch him get overwhelmed by the sheer enormity of the BS he shovels […]

Killing Journalists as Video Game Sport
Three cheers for Wikileaks. Their posting of a 38-minute video from an Apache helilcopter showing U.S. gunners killing two Reuters journalists (and ten other civilians) in 2007 is heroic.

The Washington Post reported today that one of Afghanistan’s […]

Isn’t this like catching a really dumb bank robber in the act (stealing almost a million votes) – and then, instead of booking him on charges, giving him another chance to rob the same bank? The U.S. government and NATO are going to let Karzai take another swing […]
8 Years of Big Lies on Afghanistan
And so now the Pentagon and the White House are going to tell the truth about Afghanistan? Pshaw! Here’s my 2 cents on the issue – distributed by the Future of Freedom Foundation and also appearing on Counterpunch today. ** I have a ‘reader survey’ question at the bottom regarding a specific line in the […]
