»Bush's ToughTalkin' Korean Bungle By Robert Parry, Consortium News In 2002, Bush put North Korea on a list of potential targets for U.S. nuclear weapons. It's no surprise, then, that Kim Jong Il has responded by creating a threat of his own. » Moon, North Korea & the Bushes Robert Parry, Consortium News… The Rev. Sun Myung Moon's business empire, which includes the rightwing Washington Times, paid millions of dollars to North Korea's communist leaders in the early 1990s when the hardline government needed foreign currency to finance its weapons programs, according to U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency documents. The payments included a $3 million "birthday present" to current communist leader Kim Jong Il and offshore payments amounting to "several tens of million dollars" to the previous communist dictator, Kim Il Sung, the documents said. »»BBC Video interview with Syrian President Bashar al-Assad Syrian President Bashar alAssad has said the United States does not have "the will or vision" to pursue peace in the Middle East.

»Torture: An American Institution By Mickey Z. A casual glance at the news these days might give one the impression that the Bush Administration invented torture last month. However, in the corporate media equivalent of a scoop, the Washington Post "broke" the story of U.S. torture of Arab and Afghan "detainees" nearly four years ago.
»American Prison Camps Are on the Way Marjorie Cohn, AlterNet Kellogg Brown & Root, a Halliburton subsidiary, is constructing a huge facility at an undisclosed location to hold tens of thousands of Bush's "unlawful enemy combatants." Americans are certain to be among them.
» Now that you could be labeled an enemy combatant. Heather Wokusch, heatherwokusch.com Since Congress recently handed Bush the power to identify American citizens as "unlawful enemy combatants" and detain them indefinitely without charge, it's worth examining the administration's record of prisoner abuse as well as the building of stateside detention centers.
Bush's Nuclear Apocalypse By Chris Hedges The aircraft carrier Eisenhower, accompanied by the guided-missile cruiser USS Anzio, guidedmissile destroyer USS Ramage, guided-missile destroyer USS Mason and the fastattack submarine USS Newport News, is, as I write, making its way to the Straits of Hormuz off Iran. The ships will be in place to strike Iran by the end of the month. It may be a bluff. It may be a feint. It may be a simple show of American power. But I doubt it.

» CRITICAL INQUIRY VS. CONSPIRANOIA: How wild 9/11 conspiracies undermine the left Bill Weinberg, GNN.tv– Conspiracies exist. Watergate and the Iran-Contra scandals were conspiracies. More to the point, history reveals the contrivance of the 1964 Tonkin Gulf incident, the fabrication of Polish incursions against Germany in 1939, and the deception of the Reichstag fire in 1933 as real conspiracies. But the 911 buffs too frequently seem to buy into not merely conspiracies but what has been called "the conspiracy theory of history" the notion that an allpowerful hidden elite constitute the fundamental motor of human events. This error is evidenced in the "Essential Truth" flyer's depiction of elite conspiratorial designs as "the root causes of war and injustice." This is nearly a reversal of reality. "Root causes" have to do with political economythe unjust social order which requires war and deception to maintain itself, and breeds terrorism. It is the conspiracies which are mere symptoms. Reversing the equation leads the conspiracists into a number of logical errors and outright deceptions (if selfdeceptions) of their own.

Don't reach for that remote, folks: It's already here. »»More
