Downing Street Memo Anniversary – 150 Events Planned
To highlight several leaked British government documents that indicate the Bush administration was 'fixing' intelligence to support the drive to war with Iraq, activists around the country are planning over 150 events on July 23, 2005.
The Karl Rove Scandal and Bush’s Drive for War with Iraq
It’s all very exciting. Just days ago, word came out that White House aid and President Bush’s close friend, Karl Rove, leaked classified information to the press about the identity of an undercover CIA agent.
Bush’s Credibility is Through the Floor, Why?
Let’s face it, most people just don’t think President Bush tells the truth. A new poll conducted by NBC News and the Wall Street Journal shows that 59 percent of Americans refuse to describe Bush as 'honest and straightforward.' The poll also showed that Americans regard the Iraq war and jobs as the main area of concern. Why are they concerned?
Dragging the Media Down Downing Street
The U.S. corporate media has begun to awaken to the fact that top Bush adviser Karl Rove exposed an undercover CIA agent’s identity and then lied about it. But reporters, editors, and producers remain slow to pick up on the heart of the story, namely that this was part of an extensive campaign to deceive the media, the public, and the Congress about the justifications for an unjustifiable war.
Right-Wing Radio Hosts Go To Iraq Meet the “Truth Tour”
Presumably, Williams(KFBK radio in Sacramento) and his talk-radio comrades will do their utmost to undo the harm done by the so-called liberal bias of the U.S. mass media in Iraq. In this way, the right-wing talk show hosts hope to bring positive news of the occupation to the American people.
Iraq: The Struggle for Sovereignty and Democracy
When I sat down with Salam Ali in Chicago on the Fourth of July weekend to talk about the developments in Iraq over the past few months, he provided me with a few surprises. Ali is an international representative of the Iraqi Communist Party (ICP), living in exile in London. He was visiting Chicago to attend the 28th Convention of the Communist Party, USA, where he extended his Party’s warm greeting and friendship.
Iraq: Blood and Oil
With the tally of US war dead now at 1,841 and climbing, and thousands more wounded, Bush continues his attempt to con the US people by linking the Iraqi rebellion with the September 11th attacks.
One year after transfer of sovereignty, Iraqis are still suffering
On the occasion of the first anniversary of the transfer of sovereignty to Iraq, U.S. President George W. Bush said that the U.S. will continue to deploy U.S. forces in Iraq, while admitting that activities in Iraq are difficult and dangerous.
Iraq: Condemned to Relive the Past
It is probably safe to assume that few Americans know or care about their nation’s history of atrocities in Latin America. They neither know nor care about the death squads in Guatemala and El Salvador that were trained, funded, and equipped by the U.S., and which tortured and murdered thousands of alleged 'communists and terrorists.'
Expose a Dishonest War: Prevent the Next One
An ABC News/Washington Post poll last week found 52 percent of Americans believe the Bush administration 'deliberately misled the public before the war,' and 57 percent say the Bush administration 'intentionally exaggerated its evidence that pre-war Iraq possessed nuclear, chemical or biological weapons.'
