The Grand Charade

By Philip A Farruggio

When will the working stiffs out there realize that it is all a charade? Anyone, no matter how noble a person, becomes corrupted once they align themselves with either of these two parties.

United States Engaged in the Practice of Torture: Report

By Jesselyn Radack

The high crime of torture

CounterPunch
by Rob Urie

04/20/13

Confirmation by the Constitution Project nearly a decade late that the George W. Bush administration and the U.S. military and ?intelligence? services committed acts of torture in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere appears a Rorschach test for the ?sentiments? of the American people. However, sentiments aside, formal indictments of culpable officials on war crimes charges and the start of impeachment proceedings against current President Barack Obama are the only relevant responses to the report. Torture is a crime under laws to which the U.S. is signatory. And with his war on Iraq George W. Bush and his administration murdered, or caused the premature deaths of, more than a million people and substantially destroyed a modern nation state...

Jabhabt al-Nusra currently administers various villages and cities (such as Raqqa) through a manifestation of Islamist governance embodied in shari'a councils, and if Jabhat al-Nusra is al-Qaida, then it's not absurd to say that something resembling a rough patchwork of quasi city-states has been established by al-Qaida in Syria.
