Iraq: The War Was Illegal By Brian Brady
Then Attorney General Goldsmith was 'pinned to the wall and bullied into keeping quiet' while the Prime Minister kept the Cabinet in the dark. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article24080.htm === Regime Termination The Truth of UK's Guilt Over Iraq By Scott Ritter President George Bush was able to disguise his blatant militarism behind the false sincerity of his ally Blair and his own secretary of state, Colin Powell. The president's task was made far easier given the role of useful idiot played by much of the mainstream media in the US and Britain, where reporters and editors alike dutifully repeated both the hyped-up charges levied against Iraq and the false pretensions that a diplomatic solution was being sought. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article24084.htm ==== Manufacturing Consent For Attack On Iran Iran Threatens to Pull Out of Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty By (Stringer/Reuters) The chorus of fury came as world powers reacted with renewed concern at Iran's announcement of plans to build ten new nuclear sites and Western leaders warned of imminent new sanctions to punish Tehran's defiance. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article24079.htm === You Get What you Vote For! By Cindy Sheehan The so-called anti-war movement currently finds itself in somewhat of a quagmire: What to do when the man you raised money for, volunteered for, and yes, even voted for, actually fulfills one of his most repulsive campaign promises? http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article24089.htm === Americans Are Deeply Involved In Afghan Drug Trade By Glen Ford The U.S. set the stage for the Afghan (and Pakistan) war eight years ago, when it handed out drug dealing franchises to warlords on Washington's payroll. Now the Americans, acting as Boss of All Bosses, have drawn up hit lists of rival, "Taliban" drug lords. "It is a gangster occupation, in which U.S.-allied drug dealers are put in charge of the police and border patrol." http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article24082.htm === Housing Meltdown, Ground Zero The American home-owning dream on life support. By Andy Kroll The turnout was staggering: close to 45,000 desperate homeowners showed up during NACA's five-day stand at the Cow Palace for the chance to renegotiate their disastrous subprime mortgages or sky-high interest rates or interest-only payments. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article24088.htm === "Only The Super Rich Can Save Us" Cindy Sheehan Interviews Ralph Nader Click here to listen http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article24081.htm === Crisis in Dubai: The Nightmare Scenario By Mike Whitney Abu Dhabi wants to send its wastrel younger brother a wake-up-call by forcing Dubai to restructure its debt. That means that banks, bondholders and contractors will have to take a haircut, which is not surprising given the abysmal condition of the commercial real estate market. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article24090.htm === President Sarah Palin By Margaret Kimberley Smug Democrats love to imagine they are a species apart from Sarah Palin, the "pit bull with lipstick." However, U.S. political history teaches us never to overestimate the intelligence of the American electorate, or trust a Democrat - many of whom were Republicans not very long ago. At root, Palin's supporters are "white nationalists," the same people that adored Ronald Reagan and, yes, George Bush. So why is it so hard to imagine a Palin presidency? http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article24083.htm === Addicted to Nonsense By Chris Hedges We are waiting for our cue to walk onstage and be admired and envied, to become known and celebrated.
