Robert Naiman, Truthout: "As we celebrate Christmas 2010, 100,000 US troops languish in Afghanistan, and Bradley Manning sits in 'maximum custody' in Quantico for the alleged crime of disclosing classified 'secrets' about US foreign policy - 'secrets' like the video of US troops killing two Reuters employees in Iraq, a video that the US military refused to release to Reuters. It is a particular stain on our country to be at war during the Season of Peace, just as it is a particular stain on our country to be at war during the Olympics. 'Peace on Earth' should stick in our throats a bit this holiday season, when our own government is bombing other people's countries, a practice which we have, so far, been unable to stop."

US to Vatican: Genetically Modified Food Is a "Moral Imperative"

Mike Ludwig, Truthout: "Secret United States diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks detail efforts to promote genetically modified (GM) crops and biotechnology across the globe, including the Vatican, where US diplomats pushed the Roman Catholic Church to support biotech food in developing nations. Cables from embassies in Spain, Austria and even Pakistan reveal the US diplomats have clearly sided with the biotech industry, even as court cases and public debates over GM food raged in the US and abroad."

The treasonous US government

Strike The Root Strike the Root
by Scott Lazarowitz

12/28/10

The ongoing WikiLeaks affair has been an expose of who really understands the principles that define America, and who is truly confused. The 'classified' leakers and their publishers ... are merely attempting to expose the State and its crimes as well as its outright ridiculousness and irrationality. The ones who defend the State?s intrusions abroad, the killing of innocents, the occupations of foreign lands, the removal of due process through renditions, indefinite detentions and assassinations without cause or even suspicion, are the ones who want to suppress any exposing of those State crimes...

State lawlessness on the rampage

CounterPunch
by Paul Craig Roberts

12/28/10

The year 2011 will bring Americans a larger and more intrusive police state, more unemployment and home foreclosures, no economic recovery, more disregard by the US government of US law, international law, the Constitution, and truth, more suspicion and distrust from allies, more hostility from the rest of the world, and new heights of media sycophancy...
