Dick Cheney’s lies about President Obama
by, Eugene Robinson
It’s pathetic to break a New Year’s resolution before we even get to New Year’s Day, but here I go. I had promised myself that I would do a better job of ignoring Dick Cheney’s corrosive and nonsensical outbursts — that I would treat [...]

Dear Ambassador Powell,
It is with great regret and disappointment I submit my resignation from my appointment as a Political Officer in the Foreign Service and my post as the Senior Civilian Representative for the U.S. Government in Zabul Province. I have served six of the previous ten years in service [...]

I wonder if the CIA/Blackwater had anything to do with the bound & power-drilled tortured Iraqis found on the side of the road for years in Iraq?

An Iraqi who died after being tortured with a power drill….

(image found HERE)
I remember many times under George Bush’s regime Iraqis being found in groups in Iraq on the side of the road bound, blindfolded, and tortured with power drills. Now we’re finding out today after the CIA’s Inspector General released a report that techniques [...]

the worst mistake

If George W Bush were willing to open up and admit his thoughts after leaving office, I have a sneaking suspicion that his answer to a question he was asked during his presidency, and failed miserably in his answer, would surpires many. I think his response would be completely different today.
In April 2004 a reporter [...]

Cindy Sheehan speaks truth to power on Memorial Day 2009…

Gawd I love this woman.
From Truth Out (her article is posted in it’s entirety below):
I was on an airplane flying to Orange County from Sacramento to attend the al-Awda Conference, which is a Palestinian Right’s Conference (al-Awda translates to “The Returning”), when the pilot’s voice filled the cabin to make an announcement that I think [...]

QUOTE OF THE DAY:

GLENN BECK AT CPAC 2010: ‘Hello, my name is the Republican Party, and I’ve got a problem. I’m addicted to spending and big government…I’m addicted to spending and I just don’t want to spend today.’ (CLICK HERE FOR LINK TO QUOTE)

"If by a “Liberal” they mean someone who looks ahead and not behind, someone who welcomes new ideas without rigid reactions, someone who cares about the welfare of the people — their health, their housing, their schools, their jobs, their civil rights, and their civil liberties — someone who believes we can break through the stalemate and suspicions that grip us in our policies abroad, if that is what they mean by a “Liberal,” then I’m proud to say I’m a “Liberal.” ~ John F. Kennedy, 1960
