Moral Degeneracy and Violence in the 'Kill Team' Photos

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: 'War, violence and death have become the organizing principle of governance and culture in the United States as we move into the second decade of the 21st century. Lacking a language for the social good, the very concept of the social as a space in which justice, equality, social protections and a responsibility to the other mediate everyday life is being refigured through a spectacle of violence and cruelty. Under such circumstances, ethical considerations and social costs are removed from market-driven policies and values just as images of human suffering are increasingly abstracted from not only their social and political contexts, but also the conditions that make such suffering possible. Moreover, as public issues collapse into privatized considerations, matters of agency, responsibility and ethics are now framed within the discourse of extreme individualism.'

This Hero Didn t Stand a Chance

Chris Hedges, Truthdig: 'Tim DeChristopher is scheduled to be sentenced in a Salt Lake City courtroom by U.S. District Judge Dee Benson on July 26. He faces up to 10 years in prison and a $750,000 fine for fraudulently bidding in December 2008 on parcels of land, including areas around eastern Utah s national parks, which were being sold off by the Bush administration to the oil and natural gas industry. As Bidder No. 70, he drove up the prices of some of the bids and won more than a dozen other parcels for $1.8 million. The government is asking Judge Benson to send DeChristopher to prison for four and a half years. His prosecution is evidence that our moral order has been turned upside down.'

Business as Usual on Steroids

Karen J. Greenberg, TomDispatch: 'In the seven weeks since the killing of Osama bin Laden, pundits and experts of many stripes have concluded that his death represents a marker of genuine significance in the story of America s encounter with terrorism. Peter Bergen, a bin Laden expert, ... wrote, 'Killing bin Laden is the end of the war on terror.'... We can just sort of announce that right now.' Yet you wouldnt know it in Washington where, if anything, the Obama administration and Congress have interpreted the killing of al-Qaeda s leader as a virtual license to double down on every 'front' in the war on terror.'
