The soldiers also allegedly burned the body of the woman they are accused of raping.
No smoke without fire is what I say. Since most of the [...]

Let the purging begin. One of America’s most controversial, charismatic and flamboyant academics, Ward Churchill, has apparently been recommended for dismissal from the University of Colorado on trumped up charges of research misconduct. Surprisingly, given the state of the US, Churchill was found to have first amendment rights and that his heritage did not have [...]

Reported yes, but as is the nature of the crime, this is surely only the tip of the iceberg.
Over 500 cases of sexual assault have been reported among U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan since the summer of 2002, according to the executive director of the Miles Foundation, a nonprofit group that tracks sexual crimes [...]

The Harvard Olin Institute and the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point have just finished their reimagined “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” of the 21st century. It’s quite pathetic even though the material contained within the text, allegedly pieced together from a breadcrumb paper trail that “al-Qaeda” just happened to leave, is quite sympathetic [...]

Well, the recent developments with the invasion of Gaza ought to at least corroborate that Israel views Jewish and Palestinian lives in very different light.

The debate over small arms is on. As usual, one would be a fool to think the US would be of much help in drafting any sensible international agreement. It’s just not in their best interest to appear reliant on the UN. And besides, who needs gun control when you have carpet bombing and cruise [...]

David Isenberg of the Washington-based British American Security Information Council (BASIC) writes for Asia Times:
The US is activating its missile defense system in response to North Korea possibly test-firing an intercontinental ballistic missile, presuming it even has one to fire. Pyongyang has nothing to fear. The multibillion-dollar US program is years away from readiness to [...]

The US launches maritime surveillance drones and orders 11 spy blimps (HAA) that will keep tabs on Americans.
Despite the clever glossing over of the attack in Gaza, the shrapnel evidence points to Israel’s guilt.
Zarqawi successor is a US creation and he has already “claimed” his first media spot.
Yet another alleged terror plot allegedly avoided by [...]

Another fine example of how academia seems joined at the hip to US tyranny. Members of the American Psychological Association have reportedly been active in the shaping of and participating in the interrogation of the prisoners of America’s “war on terror.”
Last week, The New York Times reported that the Pentagon would try to use only [...]

A brilliant interview with Chalmers Johnson (second transcription) from C-Span’s Q&A filled to the brim with insightful reflections and a historical perspective that is usually lacking from the contemporary discourse.
This territory — Southern Eurasia — was opened up by the collapse of the Soviet Union to enormous geopolitical pressures. I don’t think we’ve done it [...]
