Our road to serfdom

Adam Smith Institute
by Sam Bowman

04/04/12

The depressing thing is how predictable all this is. 'Pragmatic' erosions of our civil rights to date, CCTV cameras everywhere, centralized government databases of personal information, attacks on habeas corpus, covert surveillance operations by local councils and sundry encroachments onto people s online privacy, have led naturally to this grotesque new plan. Every new piece of authoritarianism has been justified as 'counter-terrorism'...

Little Evidence That Torture Treatment Used By CIA Produced Any Counter-Terrorism Breakthroughs

People familiar with the inquiry said it consisted of as much as 2,000 pages in narrative accounts of how the CIA interrogation program worked, including specific case histories in which enhanced interrogation tactics were used.

Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: ''Most discussion about the 'costs of war' focuses on two numbers: dollars spent and American troops who gave their lives. A decade into the war on terror, those official costs are over a trillion dollars and more than 6,000 dead. But as overwhelming as those numbers are, they don t tell the full story. In one of the most comprehensive studies available, researchers in the Eisenhower Study Group at Brown University s Watson Institute for International Studies looked at the human, economic, social and political costs of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, as well as our military actions in Pakistan.''

War for terror

Liberty For All
by John Jay Myers

03/29/12

Wars are not about ideals. Wars are about things, things people want. Telling people that wars are about religion or ideals is what is known as propaganda. No one wants to be the guy who is fighting over a 'thing' because that makes you appear greedy. Terror is not a group of people, or a country, it is a tactic used in war...

The Immense Tolls of Imperial War

Casualty Comprehension

By Christian Sorensen

Juxtaposition provides insight into Pentagon delusion. Over 6,400 uniformed American service-members and 2,330 mercenaries have died in the Global War on Terror since 2001, but their corpses might end up in a landfill when they return to the United States.

The Vengeance of ''Don t Retreat, Reload'' Vigilantes

By Robert S. Becker

What the Bush Doctrine distilled into unilateral pre-emptive perfidy, executed by Rumsfeld s dire ''shock and awe,'' then justified by Cheney s One Per Cent Doctrine, was domesticated by this in-your-face mandate from a presumptive national leader.

Steven Lee Myers, The New York Times News Service: ''The United States and more than 60 other countries moved closer on Sunday to direct intervention in the fighting in Syria, with Arab nations pledging $100 million to pay opposition fighters and the Obama administration agreeing to send communications equipment to help rebels organize and evade Syria s military, according to participants gathered here. The moves reflected a growing consensus, at least among those who met here this weekend under the rubric 'Friends of Syria,' that mediation efforts by the United Nations peace envoy, Kofi Annan, were failing to halt the violence in Syria and that more forceful action was needed.''

Syria: America Steps Onto The Slippery Slope

By Robert Wright

Could we at least be honest about we are doing? The U.S., by giving the rebels this communications equipment, is now officially helping Syrians kill other Syrians.

Putting Syria Into Some Perspective

By William Blum

The Holy Triumvirate recognizes no higher power and believes, literally, that they can do whatever they want in the world, to whomever they want, for as long as they want, and call it whatever they want, like ''humanitarian intervention''.

http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article31017.htm



'Military intervention in Syria not completely ruled out'

An internationally supported military intervention in Syria could still take place as a last resort for settling the Syrian crisis, given that recent international efforts are unlikely to affect the status quo and the conflict will not end in the near future, political observers have claimed.

Expect War. It s Coming

By Stephen Lendman

While disingenuously supporting peace, Washington, rogue NATO partners, and regional allies continue arming, funding, training, and actively aiding insurgents other ways to violently oust Assad.
