It is very convenient, isn’t it. Too convenient.
Another Day in the Empire - Eager to please the Bushcons, the chief United Nations investigator, Detlev Mehlis, has released a report fingering “Syrian and Lebanese intelligence services” for the assassination of Rafik Hariri, the former prime minister of Lebanon. Warren Hoge, writing for the ever neocon vigilant [...]

More outrageous behavior from American troops, this time in Afghanistan. Not exactly heart and minds stuff unless you’re trying to impress Hannibal Lecter.
Via Sabbah - US soldiers in Afghanistan burnt the bodies of dead Taliban and taunted their opponents about the corpses, in an act deeply offensive to Muslims and in breach of the Geneva [...]

The number of possible vacation spots for Americans seem to be continually declining. Though this case will go nowhere, it at least shows that people are sick of taking American crimes and the arrogant, unilateral stonewalling that usually follows.
CNN - A Spanish judge issued an international arrest warrant Wednesday for three U.S. soldiers, charging them [...]

And ends just as quickly, adjourning for November 28th. The defense were lucky to get a whole month to prepare. After all the prosecution has only had two years …

They just can’t give it a rest in their rationale for subjugation. Rice went to Russia, but after her last arrogant appearance there, and Iraq lies in fresh memory, she obviously accomplished diddly-squat.
Meanwhile “senior American officials” continue with the propaganda campaign to somehow muster enough panic around the world, especially in regions that aren’t dancing [...]

It’s so stupid and transparent I can’t bring myself to make even a haphazard analysis.
Kurt Nimmo actually takes the time.
