In February, 2008, the Bush DOJ issued a subpoena to The New York Times‘ James Risen, demanding the identity of his source(s) for one chapter in Risen’s best-selling book, State of War. The chapter in question described a painfully inept and counter-productive CIA effort to infiltrate the Iranian nuclear program, but which ended up instead passing on valuable information to the Iranians about how to build a bomb. At the time that subpoena was issued, I wrote that it was a serious and ‘dangerous’ escalation of the ongoing effort by Bush officials to intimidate journalists and their sources in order to choke off whistle-blowing disclosures, ‘the sole remaining avenue for a country plagued by a supine, slothful, vapid press and an indescribably submissive Congress.’ I don’t recall a single progressive or Democrat — not one — defending that subpoena.

For the apathetic and for those who trumpet and champion war's necessity from a safe distance, war is a distraction, bleak, dire, and unpleasant, from their consumer driven lives, better left for others and for other peoples' children to fight.

The Military Occupation of Our Minds

By Tom Hayden

As Congress weighs Afghanistan funding, the military is escalating what it calls the "war of perceptions" at home and abroad. The question is whether the American media and Congress will collaborate in the Pentagon's press strategy or retain a critical edge.

Bravo, Frau Kanzlerin!

Das deutsche Wahlkampfgeplänkel rund um die Griechenlandhilfen hat dazu geführt, dass Griechenland vor der Pleite und Portugal sowie nun auch Spanien vor ernsten Problemen stehen.

Demand Wells Fargo End Predatory Lending

Daniela Perdomo, AlterNet: "'We are many and they are few - and today they have to deal with us!' yelled an organizer at a San Francisco march and rally on Tuesday afternoon aimed at calling out Wells Fargo for its predatory lending practices. A crowd of a few hundred pissed-off consumers responded boisterously by repeating a catchy chant: 'Hey, big banks, where's our dough? Working families have a right to know!'"
