Bush White House declares torture vital to US security policy
Yet in two years of torturing Iraq's not a single weapon of mass destruction was found. Now we know there never were any Iraqi WMDs, meaning that the US has been torturing innocent people, sometimes to death, for information they could not possibly have had.
You imagine being in that place for a while, then take another look at Bush's insistence that the war has nothing to do with why the Iraqi people hate the US Government.

Democracy stops terrorism? No
Democratisation is an ugly word, bearing about as much relationship to real democracy as does a forced marriage to romantic love. The idea was the brainchild of political scientists and lawyers, who used it to describe the successive waves of countries that emerged from authoritarianism to liberal democracy during the postwar period and the constitutional alternatives available to help them on their way.

The Police State Is Closer Than You Think
Police states are easier to acquire than Americans appreciate.
President Bush claims the power to set aside habeas corpus and to dispense with warrants for arrest and with procedures that guarantee court appearance and trial without undue delay. Today in the US, the executive branch claims the power to arrest a citizen on its own initiative and hold the citizen indefinitely. Thus, Americans are no longer protected from arbitrary arrest and indefinite detention.

Death squads behind Iraq killings?
The 22 bodies, lined up in coffins in a mosque courtyard, are as shrivelled as ancient mummies after lying a month in the desert where they were dumped, bound and bullet-ridden. They were Sunni Arabs, rounded up from their Baghdad homes one night by men in police uniforms.
