    WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The FBI on Tuesday asked the U.S. Congress for sweeping new powers to seize business or private records, ranging from medical information to book purchases, to investigate terrorism without first securing approval from a judge.
    Valerie Caproni, FBI general counsel, told the U.S. Senate Intelligence Committee her agency needed the power to issue what are known as administrative subpoenas to get information quickly about terrorist plots and the activities of foreign (…)

    May 19, 2005 - For over a century, our government has made sure that we are never to be told the truth about anything that we have done to other people in Third World countries, especially in Latin America.
    With the creation of the School of the Americas, a breeding ground for assassins, and the death squads, we became the greatest human rights violators in the world.
    We have become the most hated country in the world, not because we practice democracy or value our freedom. We are hated (…)

    Saudi Arabia, Off The Hook The 9/11 Terrorists Were Mostly Saudi. Suicide Bombers In Iraq Are Saudi. And We’re Allies? Mark Morford May 20, 2005 I am no foreign-policy expert. I am no virtuoso of nuanced and wicked international relations. I know not of intricate deal making and smarm sucking and backstabbing and glad handing and the Bushes raking in millions from clandestine oil deals with the Saudi kingdom. Ahem.
    But this much I do know. This much is sickeningly, painfully obvious. (…)

  • Torture’s Dirty Secret: It Works

    Torture’s true purpose is to terrorize. It may not work as an interrogation tool, but as an intimidation tactic, its success is clear.
    I recently caught a glimpse of the effects of torture in action at an event honoring Maher Arar. The Syrian-born Canadian is the world’s most famous victim of "rendition," the process by which US officials outsource torture to foreign countries. Arar was switching planes in New York when U.S. interrogators detained him and "rendered" him to Syria, where he (…)

    Adam Curtis has recut his explosive war on terror documentary The Power of Nightmares into a feature film - and is taking it to the festival.
    By Stuart Jeffries
    05/12/05 "The Guardian" - - There will be no red carpet for Adam Curtis when his film The Power of Nightmares receives its gala screening at the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday.

  • The Democrats have No Clothes: ’Leaders’ Silent on The British Memo

    ​ ​​​​ Just like the $9 billion ’lost’ and the 52 warnings prior to 9/11, the Democratic ’Leadership’ is silent on the most important news of the day. The current earth-shattering news is The Memo revealing that Bush and Blair agreed to go to war in April 2002, that they ’fixed the facts’ to scare us into war.
    This news should turn American politics upside down. It should cause all Americans, even Republicans, to be outraged, really F#@%ing pissed off that WE’VE BEEN LIED TO !!!
    We (…)

  • Is the CIA Behind the Iraqi "Insurgents" — and Global Terrorism?

    THE PROVOCATEUR STATE
    The requirement of an ever-escalating level of social violence to meet the political and economic needs of the insatiable "anti-terrorist complex" is the essence of the new US militarism. What is now openly billed as "permanent war" ultimately serves the geo-political ends of social control in the interests of US corporate domination, much as the anti-communist crusade of the now-exhasuted Cold War did.
    Back in 2002, following the trauma of 9-11, Secretary of (…)

    Bush Mendacity Will Shock Historians Bill Gallagher May 10, 2005 Detroit - When historians write about our times, they’ll shake their heads and wonder how so many people could believe so many lies for so long. They might actually write two parallel books - one describing the cascading lies and deceptions George W. Bush and the Republicans sold and the other telling the truth. We’re told, in effect, that trampling on civil liberties and eroding freedom are a sure way to protect us from (…)
