Obama drones kill citizens: Where's the law?

If 'we continue to justify such practices in only the vaguest of terms, we should expect other countries to take them up, and almost certainly in ways we will not find to our liking.' Killer drones are being built and perfected in many countries in the world, and not only by our friends.

US Combat Troops Descending on Africa

John Pilger, Truthout: 'The main reason the US is invading Africa is no different from that which ignited the Vietnam War. It is China. In the world of self-serving, institutionalized paranoia that justifies what Gen. David Petraeus, the former US commander and now CIA director, implies is a state of perpetual war, China is replacing al-Qaeda as the official American 'threat.'

Moammar Gadhafi, RIP

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

10/21/11

You could almost hear the sigh of relief coming from Western capitals as news of Gadhafi s unceremonious death spread around the world. Apparently captured alive ... he was almost immediately killed by his captors, who then dragged his body through the streets of Sirte, which had been the last loyalist holdout. That a US drone first attacked Gadhafi s convoy, and so gave the rebels the opportunity to make short work of him, is a telling detail...

10/19/11

Looking at Whitehall, and taking just the most recent month for which we have figures, Central Government spending (ANLP in the jargon) for August 2011 was a remarkable 7.2% higher than a year earlier. In other words, despite all the howls about austerity, government spending is still growing, and growing fast, in both cash terms and real terms...

Johnny Barber, Truthout: 'As we step off the Turkish Air flight and walk across the dusty tarmac to the terminal, we are greeted by a large billboard. In big, bold English it proclaims, 'Welcome to the Home of the Brave.' It stops me in my tracks. I shake my head, thinking, 'damn weird' and continue in to passport control. After waiting in a short line, I present my American passport to the guard in the booth. He doesnt' acknowledge me. He flips through the shiny, new pages until he gets to the visa. He stamps it. He turns to the picture. He gives me a precursory glance and hands the passport back to me. I turn and enter Afghanistan.'

Ron Pauls? 'Plan to Restore America'

Independent Institute
by Randall Holcombe

10/18/11

Political platforms tend to be vague promises for something better in the future, and deliberately so. Lots of people favor making things better than they are today, but far fewer will be in favor of any one specific alternative. ... In that context, it is refreshing to see that Ron Pauls? 'Plan to Restore America' makes specific and detailed budgetary recommendations.'
