We found that citizens informed about the existence of a casualty gap were significantly more likely to oppose ongoing military operations and less willing to support future ones than were their peers who were not informed about casualty inequalities.

Who can deny that our American world is in trouble? Or that our troubles, like our wars, have a momentum of their own against which we generally no longer raise our voices in protest; that we have, in a sense, been disarmed as citizens?

“Privatization” gives privatization a bad name

Distributed Republic
by Jacob Lyles

05/27/10

The worst contractors prosper primarily through the exercise of political influence. In return for campaign contributions and other kickbacks, political leaders are only too happy to shower them with taxpayer money for subpar levels of service. Skeptics of the free market witness the ignoble cycle created by so-called privatization and are further soured on capitalist ideology. They reason that government agencies can’t be more corrupt or inefficient than a contracting process that awards billion dollar no-bid contracts to the Vice President’s former employer...

Recall that Bush Pentagon official Cully Stimson was actually forced to apologize for suggesting that lawyers who represented Guantanamo detainees were engaged in disloyal and improper acts. Yet with the Democrats in control of Washington, a provision grounded in exactly that rotted premise has now been unanimously reported out of a major House Committee...

The year-long debate over healthcare reform legislation produced a tidal wave of criticism of the ‘dysfunctional’ American Congress. Almost everyone agreed that the lawmaking process was damaged by excessive partisanship, overuse of minority filibusters and backroom dealings. Yet last year, President Barack Obama decided to dispatch additional troops to Afghanistan (21,000 in March and 30,000 in December), bringing the total to 100,000 by the end of this year — with no congressional debate or legislative guidance...
