How America Lost Iraq
Aaron Glantz
In Iraq, most of the corporate journalists, when they venture outside their heavily guarded hotels, travel with U.S. troops and base their stories on what the military tells them. Not so Aaron Glantz, who went to Iraq totally un-embedded. And what he learned initially was not what he had expected. Most Iraqis welcomed the Americans […]
In Defense of Public Broadcasting
Bill Moyers
The founding principles of public broadcasting urged that programming serve as “a forum for debate and controversy” and “provide a voice for groups that may otherwise be unheard.” Ever since its inception public broadcasting in the U.S. has been a lightening rod for political attack. A heat shield funding proposal to isolate PBS and NPR […]
From 9/11 to Abu Ghraib
Seymour Hersh
After World War Two the Nuremberg War Crimes Tribunal declared:”Individuals have international duties which transcend the national obligations of obedience…and have the duty to prevent crimes against peace and humanity from occurring.” The defense of “I was just following orders” was judged to be legally unsupportable and morally reprehensible. The Geneva Conventions have specific rules […]
The Checkbook and the Cruise Missile
Arundhati Roy
The “overall framework of power,” as Henry Kissinger calls it, consists of the IMF, the World Bank and the WTO. The muscle that enforces the economic regime is the U.S. military. With a bloated budget of half a trillion dollars a year, the Pentagon’s warriors straddle the earth. The president announces that America is “the […]
Apocalyptic Violence
Robert Jay Lifton
With no definition of victory in the war on terrorism, the U.S. may be entering a long period of perpetual war. The president invokes the name of God on a regular basis. Clearly, with such power on our side, how can we lose? Al-Qaeda and the Islamists are also certain that the almighty is in […]
Health & Wealth
Stephen Bezruchka
Health and longevity are based upon factors we can all acknowledge: genetics, lifestyle and luck among them. They are also largely taken for granted. But as Stephen Bezruchka explains, social class has a far more profound effect in the US than we realize, in ways we wouldn’t guess, even for the many of us who […]
Government Repression of the American Indian Movement
Ward Churchill
The reality of what occurred on the Pine Ridge Sioux Reservation in the 1970s is not reflected in most contemporary histories of the United States. Scores of indigenous people were killed and many more were wounded. Ward Churchill, an activist with the American Indian Movement, draws lessons and inspiration from the events at Pine Ridge […]
Black History
Kwame Ture
History is often refracted through the narrow lens of those who own the cameras. To some, Black nationalist leaders of the 1960s like Malcolm X, Huey Newton, Bobby Seale, Angela Davis and Stokely Carmichael were menacing ideologues. To others, they were icons in the struggle against white supremacy. All emphasized the need to discover and […]
Radical Multiculturalism
Angela Davis
In the United States, the term multicultural is often linked with a surface-level diversity. People of color in leadership positions are cited as examples of our move toward a society that truly values diversity. The so-called “black face in a high place” is therefore evidence of our commitment to multiculturalism. Meanwhile, the Bush administration engages […]
Bushwomen
Laura Flanders
The Bushwomen have created an estrogen shield for the White House. “Theirs is the politics of masquerade,” says Laura Flanders. “They are the media friendly face of one of the most extreme administrations in U.S. history.” The mission of the Bushwomen is to cosmetically transform the Republican Party’s image without changing its policies. Are they […]
Egypt: Democracy or Dictatorship?
Saad Eddin Ibrahim
Egypt, the largest Arab country, has long been ruled by a series of autocrats. The latest and one of the most enduring is Hosni Mubarak, a close ally of Washington and recipient of billions in U.S. aid. He is trying to maintain his grip on power. The winds of change may alter his plans. There […]
In Defense of Government
Elaine Bernard
George Bush likes to talk about an ownership society in the United States, a place where more people own property, businesses and shares of stock. The president says we can get there by cutting taxes and by reducing regulation of commerce and industry. Except for the military, government is the bad guy who should get […]
