Op-Ed

Oddly, under current law, Congress and the courts are involved when presidents eavesdrop on Americans, detain them or harshly interrogate them-but not when they kill them.

Meet The ''Intelligence and Security Command''

By Tyler Durden

The US was on the ground and engaged in secret missions, it needed an alibi to avoid ''destabilizing'' the local situation once its presence became conventional wisdom. It got just that, thank to one Francois Hollande just over a week ago.

War on terror in Mali

Antiwar.com
by Philip Giraldi

01/24/13
