Juan Gonzalez, Democracy Now!: "As millions of students prepare for the start of another school year, we focus on an issue that concerns many parents: the increasing presence of military recruiters in the nation's high schools and the military's ability to gather information about students. We speak with journalist David Goodman about his Mother Jones article 'A Few Good Kids?' and with the New York Civil Liberties Union's Ari Rosmarin, who works on the organization's Project on Military Recruitment and Students' Rights."

Tom H. Hastings, Truthout: "Jumbo shrimp. Buy and save. Jobless recovery. Americans are on full oxymoron alert these days, as we read and hear about this 'jobless recovery.' Recovery for whom? The unemployment rate is high and growing higher, nearing an official 10 percent - an estimate which is always lower than the reality of impoverished, underemployed and 'discouraged workers' who have stopped bothering to officially register. Since this recession began, 7 million Americans have lost their jobs. Why aren't 7 million of us 'too big enough to fail'?"

„Bei einem von der Bundeswehr angeordneten Luftangriff der NATO-Truppe ISAF auf von Taliban entführte Tanklastwagen sind am 4. Sept. in Nordafghanistan viele Menschen getötet worden. "Mehr als 150 Menschen wurden getötet oder verletzt", sagte ein Dorfbewohner namens Nadschibullah der Deutschen Presse-Agentur dpa. "In der Gegend waren auch Taliban, aber mehr Opfer gibt es unter Zivilisten." Auf die Frage in der Bundespressekonferenz, ob die Bundeswehr an ihrem Sprachgebrauch festhalten wolle, wonach in Afghanistan kein Krieg herrsche, sagte ein Ministeriumssprecher: "Es handelt sich um einen Stabilisierungseinsatz, zugegeben um einen recht robusten Stabilisierungseinsatz, der Kampfhandlungen miteinschließt."

Monday, September 7th, several residents of the 18th arrondissement of Paris, accompanied by elected persons from the "Greens" have prevented the installation of an antenna. Forced to reverse, the truck-crane, in charge of installing the antenna on the roof of a building on behalf of Orange, was denied access by a human barricade.

- and Why It May Take a Revolt to Fix It

By Matt Taibbi

Let's start with the obvious: America has not only the worst but the dumbest health care system in the developed world. It's become a black leprosy eating away at the American experiment - a bureaucracy so insipid and mean and illogical that even our darkest criminal minds wouldn't be equal to dreaming it up on purpose.

Words Matter

By Ralph Nader

Ever wonder what's happening to words once they fall into the hands of corporate and government propagandists? Too often reporters and editors don't wonder enough. They ditto the words even when the result is deception or doubletalk.

Myth v. Fact: Afghanistan

By Malou Innocent

The Taliban, the Haqqani network, and other guerilla-jihadi movements indigenous to this region have no shadowy global mission. In fact, what we are witnessing is a local and regional ethnic Pasthun population -- divided arbitrarily by a porous 1,500-mile border -- fighting against what they perceive to be a hostile occupation of their region.
