 Short memories and cowardice among ‘Superpowers’
birdie, Tuesday, Mar 3 2009, 12:41am
The avowed enemy of Russia, China and the entire free world, as the crimes of the past decade clearly indicate, is the criminal, terrorist (by any definition) USA! But what is Russia and China actually doing to forever hamstring this evil, mass murdering influence and prevent it wreaking more horror and havoc on the world? (story and 1 comment)

CIA Admits Destroying More Interrogation Videos
Oliver Burkeman via reed, Monday, Mar 2 2009, 10:07pm
The CIA revealed today that it had destroyed far more videotapes of terror interrogations than it had originally admitted, resuscitating a Bush administration scandal and increasing the pressure on Barack Obama to support a full investigation of the agency's detention practices during his predecessor's time in office.

Unremitting deceit from leadership is killing the country
barra, Saturday, Feb 28 2009, 8:56am
How desperate, exhausted and thoroughly dispirited are the American people today?
American leaders in the public and private sectors have all but destroyed the nation with their lies, false hope and massive frauds. However, few analysts and advisers it seems are aware of the cost and consequences of constantly deceiving and ABUSING the people. (story and 5 comments and 1 image)

The CIA Beyond Redemption Should be Terminated
Sherwood Ross via quill, Tuesday, Feb 24 2009, 7:31am
The Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) has confirmed the worst fears of its creator President Harry Truman that it might degenerate into “an American Gestapo.” It has been just that for so long it is beyond redemption. It represents 60 years of failure and fascism utterly at odds with the spirit of a democracy and needs to be closed, permanently. (story and 1 comment)

Is It Jailout Time Yet?
Danny Schechter via fleet, Tuesday, Feb 24 2009, 12:34am
Judging by my in-box, there seem to be no shortage of organizations and individuals obsessed with an image: Dick Cheney and George Bush in prison, and Karl Rove in the next cell. Never mind that Congress doesn’t have the guts or the President the gumption to go after those responsible for the gutting of the Constitution. Nevertheless, there are many campaigns and calls to hold the last Administration accountable for its crimes. (story and 1 comment and 1 image)

Captain, Saturday, Feb 21 2009, 8:53pm
When it comes to incompetent, corrupt, cowardly pigs it’s hard to beat Australia’s own. I have direct experience with these cowardly, INCOMPETENT, scum.

This they do to people with Masters Degrees in the Social Sciences and Advertising, Journalism majors – another example of police Public Relations genius! (story and 10 comments and 1 attached file)

IMF chief warns second wave of countries will require bail-out
Edmund Conway via reed, Tuesday, Feb 17 2009, 1:15am
A "second wave" of countries will fall victim to the economic crisis and face being bailed out by the International Monetary Fund, its chief warned at the G7 summit in Rome. [IMF chief] Dominique Strauss-Kahn's warning comes amid growing concern that at some point in the next year a major economy could have to seek support from the Fund. Mr Strauss-Kahn, who was yesterday attending the Group of Seven leading finance ministers' meeting in Rome, said: "I expect a second wave of countries to come knocking."
