US Troops Hiding Out In Iraqi Homes
A few words from U.S. troops in Iraq, all quoted in Chapter 1 of Dahr Jamail's brilliant new book "The Will to Resist: Soldiers Who refuse to Fight in Iraq and Afghanistan":
"Oh yeah, we did search and avoid missions all the time. We would go to the end of our patrol route and set up camp on the top of a bridge and use it as an over-watch position. It was a common tactic. We would just sit there and observe rather than sweep. We would call in radio checks every hour and report… Continue

The Resistors is a new film made for Under The Hood Cafe.
The Resistors is a new film made for Under The Hood Cafe. Now I know how I spelled "Resistors". But I did spell it that way for a reason. "...produces a voltage across its terminals that is proportional to the electric current..." They provide balance to the system. See how these Soldiers and civilians work together to create that balance and support each other were the Army fails.
This film is not available on YouTube.
The best picture and sound can be found on… Continue

AP Pulls Iran Nukes Story After Antiwar.com Exposé
Associated Press issued a story yesterday (Monday) entitled “Iran moves closer to nuke warhead capacity.” It was full of inaccurate and misleading information implying that Iran had admitted trying to enrich weapons-grade nuclear material. The story appeared on a wide variety of media. Last night, Antiwar.com news editor Jason Ditz issued a [...]US Soldier Waterboards 4-Year-Old Daughter
Skills for the real world? Joshua Tabor, a soldier stationed at the Lewis-McChord base in Tacoma, Washington, decided to punish his 4-year-old daughter for failing to correctly recite the alphabet. As his daughter ’squirmed’ to get away, Tabor said he submerged her face three or four times until the water was lapping around her forehead and jawline. Police [...]Justice Department Bans Justice for Torturers
The Obama Justice Department has apparently decided that, since torture is not a crime (at least not anything deserving of prosecution), then concocting legal doctrines that unleashed torturers around the world is also no offense. A Justice Department internal investigation has concluded that John Yoo and Jay Bybee were gulity only of “poor judgment” in [...]Blair Lied, Thousands Died
You’re a liar and murderer, say protesters in Britain. More details here also. Although I often criticize soldiers for participating in the war in Iraq, I believe Blair and Bush are the chief war criminals.Jane WAS Right!
After all these years, Jane WAS Right! British political news has been consumed for the last several weeks by a formal inquiry into the illegality and deceit behind Tony Blair’s decision to join the U.S. in invading Iraq…. A major focus of the investigation is the illegality of the war. … –Remember the illegal destruction [...]TRUTHOUT NEWS FEED
Pennsylvania Democratic State Committee Takes Single-Payer Healthcare Mainstream, Unanimously Endorses It
If you are a single-payer advocate (full disclosure: I am), Lancaster Pennsylvania had a surreal tinge to it this past weekend. Fellow advocates were converging upon the Host Hotel and Conference center from as far away as Erie along with Democratic State Committee people, undaunted by a near-record snow fall and seemingly unconcerned about how they would get home again, or when.

Give Peace Spending a Chance
Last week, when President Obama requested the largest-ever military budget since World War II, hardly anyone batted an eyelash. The Bush years immunized many of us to the shock of colossal defense spending bills skating across the table - and zipping through Congress to sure passage - regardless of shriveling public approval.
Perhaps, more eyelashes would have started batting if Americans realized that this year the US will spend more on its occupation of Afghanistan alone than any other country except China spends on its entire defense budget.
