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 […]
Uncle Sam’s Pakistan
Tariq Ali
Pakistan has long been a close ally of the United States. Forging strong ties with Pakistani military and intelligence services, Washington embraced a series of dictators. It was during the draconian 11-year rule of General Zia ul-Haq that defined the strategic relationship between Washington and Islamabad.

Dateline: Kashmir
Parvaiz Bukhari

Democracy & the Global Economy
Vandana Shiva

The mantra of free trade and open markets has widened the gap between rich and poor nations. Level playing fields don’t seem very level to the have-nots. Democracy […]

Creating a New Political Agenda
Bernie Sanders
More and more citizens are turned off by traditional party politics. Voter participation in elections, with a few exceptions, steadily declines. There is a palpable sense that the political system is not responsive to people’s needs. Like the national debt, the pile of domestic problems mounts. The time is ripe for a new political agenda. […]
Talking It Up
Howard Zinn, Dave Zirin
Recorded during the 100th anniversary celebration of The Progressive. Zinn wrote a column for the magazine and Zirin is a current columnist. “There’s no sports writer like Dave Zirin,” Zinn declares.

What They Want Is My Silence
Edward Said
