Steve Peacock, Globalresearch:: The U.S. State Dept. may designate a one  million  dollar landscaping "allowance" for the New Embassy Compound (NEC) under construction in the heart of war  torn Baghdad, Iraq    and that's just for the first year, according to a draft planning document located by The Peacock Report.

»Putting a Pretty Face on an Ugly Picture... Maybe these fools who call themselves Christians should see a few pictures of these same exact soldiers when they do not know that the camera is on them and they are being their true selves. Maybe Christians need to see pictures of these soldiers shooting the heads off of Palestinian children whose only crime has been to exist and who are committing the extremely terrorist acts of walking to school or playing in their front yard.
»NATO QUEBEC CONFERENCE: NATO Involved in flawed Afghanistan Bomb, Brute and Bribe Operation... Joan Russow (PhD), Global Compliance Research project...Since 2001, most of the NATO countries have been belligerents in Afghanistan. The current "mission" described as a 3D   defense, development, and diplomacy  mission violates a fundamental international principle that a belligerent state should never be involved on the ground in reconstruction. NATO states are supporting a 3 B campaign: BOMB, BRUTE, and AND BRIBE OPERATION. Bombing a village, blasting in doors, brutally killing and wounding citizens and ignoring culture and then bribing with funds for reconstruction of hospitals to heal the victims are beyond any claims of legitimacy...

» Open Letter to Reps Pelosi and Conyers... We the People are Setting the Table Now  [ By Cindy Sheehan]  We the people put the Democrats back into power because we want to see a change in this country and a rejection of politics as usual. We want politics as unusual. We want to see the issue of impeachment and a speedy and safe withdrawal of our troops from Iraq de­ politicized and brought into the realm of "right and wrong" where these issues belong, not "right and left."

» Worshipping the State: Why They Die... Simple facts most soldiers do not understand: The government (state) is not our country; when you fight and die in undeclared wars, you do so for the State and not for our country or our freedoms; when you forsake the Constitution you swore to uphold and defend to follow unconstitutional orders, even from your commander-in-chief, you cross the line from defender of your country to the very real possibility of becoming a war criminal.
»To Hell with Centrism: We Must Reclaim the Inspired Edge...by Phil Rockstroh
» To the Victors Belongs Impunity:  Of Incorrigible Transgressors, Tacit Complicity, and Lady Justice's Conspicuous Absence. In this piece, I attack the blatant hypocrisy and farcical nature of the Saddam Hussein trials and death sentence. I spend a bit of time analyzing a few untried US war criminals and their atrocities, examine the fate they would need to endure to balance the scales of justice, and conclude that despite the pleasant MSM­ generated fiction that a Democratic Congress will "restore the republic", the ruling elite from "both sides of the aisle" will continue to perpetrate their egregious crimes with impunity. At least until the Empire implodes. [Jason Miller]
