Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service: "US intelligence has concluded that the document published recently by the Times of London, which purportedly describes an Iranian plan to do experiments on what the newspaper described as a 'neutron initiator' for an atomic weapon, is a fabrication, according to a former Central Intelligence Agency official."

In 2008 and 2009, the Bush White House, the Obama White House and the Federal Reserve doled out over $2 trillion in taxpayer money in an effort to save failed businesses and to stimulate the economy. In 2010 — the Wall Street Journal predicts — the public will begin to understand how dramatically such efforts have changed the US economy. ‘Only as the recession recedes will it become fully evident how permanently the state’s role has expanded and whether, as a consequence, a new, hybrid strain of American capitalism is emerging.’ This ‘hybrid strain’ of capitalism is nothing more than the overreaching hand of government intruding into the private sector...

Hope is not change

In These Times

12/28/09

When you look honestly at what’s going on in our government right now, it’s not clear that ‘change’ was anything more than a cynical campaign slogan on a colorful t-shirt. People are right to be angry. While we have certainly seen some encouraging progressive policy successes, the average person is nonetheless looking at an economy with a real unemployment rate of 17 percent — the highest since the Great Depression. And if they hear news of politicians at all, they either see them taking 15 different positions on the most simple issues, or raising boatloads of cash from the same corporate fat cats who got the country into this mess. We must realize that politics is serious, and at this time it behooves us to change our attitude and adjust our perspective...

It’s been a long while since anyone has even debated whether ‘victory’ was applicable to the U.S.-led invasion and subsequent seven-year occupation of Iraq. But 2009 was the year that the war’s sad fate in the history books was assured, no doubt leaving hundreds of thousands of American servicemen and women to feel as though their sacrifice, and that of their comrades, has been largely unfulfilled by anything remotely resembling ‘one of the great achievements of mankind.’ No, in addition to what the Washington Post called ‘one of the most unpopular wars in American history,’ Iraq was all but officially declared a ‘non-victory’ in the waning days of 2008 by none other than Gen. David Petraeus, now head of U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM), who could hardly be accused of bias against the American cause in Iraq and the Long War...

These outraged words from Julia Tarver Mason, a partner at Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison in New York City, are typical of the over 100 personal narratives written by lawyers, translators and others who have represented and assisted the detainees at the US prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which have been collected in the new book 'THE GUANTANAMO LAWYERS: Inside a Prison Outside the Law.'"

The banks are not only taking depositors money and using it in high-risk derivatives transactions and currency "carry trades", they're also propping up the long daisy-chain of insolvent creditors whose default could domino Lehman-like through the entire financial system. Funny how the media skips little tidbits like this when they give their rosy evening roundup.

Center for a Stateless Society

The man at the end of the street doesn’t talk to his neighbours much because he likes to keep himself to himself. He pays with cash because he doesn’t have a bank card, and he keeps his curtains closed because he lives on a bus route. The man who sits two desks down from you at work looks at on-line aerial photos because he’s thinking of moving house. He rents three lock-ups full of his mothers things he just can’t throw out. He paid for a flight with cash — but that’s because he’s a spontaneous kind of guy. This may all mean nothing — but together it could all add up to you having suspicions. We all have a role together in combating terrorism. If you see anything suspicious then call the confidential anti-terrorist hotline on 0800 789 321. If you suspect it, report it!...

Why war will take no holidays in 2010

Excuse the gloom in the holiday season, but I feel like we’re all locked inside a malign version of the movie Groundhog Day. You remember, the one in which the characters are forced to relive the same twenty-four hours endlessly. Put more personally, TomDispatch started in November 2001 as an e-mail to friends in response to the first moments of our latest Afghan War. More than eight years later… well, you know the story. Worse yet, the latest Washington Post/ABC News poll indicates that a startling 58 percent of Americans, otherwise in a mighty gloomy mood, support the president’s latest ’surge’ in Afghanistan, which will extend that war into the dismal future. And worse than that, in Afghanistan as in Iraq, from the point of view of official Washington, next year won’t really count for much. The crucial decisions on both wars will evidently leapfrog 2010. So, on that score, we might as well just mark the year off on our calendars now...

Is it biblical to say, ‘Peace on earth and good will to men,’ which is inclusive but inexact?

The abortive efforts of the ‘panty-bomber’ have inspired the War Party to focus on a new front in our ongoing and seemingly permanent ‘war on terrorism’: Yemen, a godforsaken outpost of medievalism and sun-scorched desert on the northern shores of the Red Sea, is now taking center stage as al-Qaeda’s latest purported stronghold. Taking advantage of the outcry following the panty-bomber’s near-deadly escapade, the Yemeni government is calling on the US for yet more aid and assistance — in addition to the tens of millions already being pumped into that country — to fight ‘terrorism,’ and specifically al-Qaeda, which is said to have around 300 fighters hiding somewhere in Yemen’s isolated and virtually inaccessible outback...

Obama Takes 'War on Terror' to Yemen

Barack Obama's steely vow to hunt down all those responsible for the attempted bombing of an American airliner on Christmas Day has left a crucial question unanswered: whether it was his personal order to US military forces to attack two suspected al-Qaida bases in Yemen with cruise missiles on 17 December that triggered a "revenge" terrorist operation against the Northwest Airlines plane one week later.
