American Principle Is Power

Lt. Col. Barry Wingard, Truthout: "With the release of the so-called 'torture' memos and now the full Senate Armed Services Committee's report on detainee treatment, the debate over detainee abuse has focused on further investigations into the military personnel, intelligence operatives and even lawyers involved in the detention and treatment of detainees like my client, Fayiz al-Kandari."

Obama's Wars, Obama's Casualties, Obama's Responsibilities

Paul Sullivan, Truthout: "On Veterans Day 2009, President Barack Obama walked through the headstones in Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington, DC. He was deliberating his impending decision to escalate and then terminate the Afghanistan War. On December 1, Obama announced his temporary escalation of the Afghanistan War with the deployment of 30,000 new troops, to the dismay of both pro-war neoconservatives and antiwar activists. On December 6, 2009, the New York Times quoted a presidential adviser as saying Obama was 'totally at peace,' as troops would begin returning home by July 2011."
