    by Jason Leopold
    John Dean, the former counsel to President Richard Nixon, made a case last year for impeaching President George W. Bush if the president intentionally misled Congress and the public into backing a war with Iraq.
    "To put it bluntly, if Bush has taken Congress and the nation into war based on bogus information, he is cooked," Dean wrote in a June 6, 2003 column for findlaw.com. "Manipulation or deliberate misuse of national security intelligence data, if proven, could be (…)

    Governor Jeb Bush is out to make his state of Florida the next Florida.
    In 2000, Jeb used such crude tactics as illegally purging voter lists to help engineer his brother’s 537-vote "victory" in that election - and now, here he goes again. As one peer of Florida’s GOP establishment candidly puts it: "A Democrat can’t win a statewide election in Florida without a high turnout of African-Americans. It’s no secret that the name of the game for Republicans is to restrain (…)

    If science was going to design a drug not to give troops going into a war zone, it might look a lot like Mefloquine hydrochloride known by the brand name Lariam. Approved in 1983 by the Food and Drug Administration, this anti-malarial product was developed by the Walter Reed Army Institute of Research in collaboration with the World Bank, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the pharmaceutical giant, F. Hoffman-La Roche (Roche) of Basel, Switzerland.

    I always thought that the goal of Halliburton’s no-bid contracts was to amass vast amount of wealth for Dick Cheney.
    I was wrong.
    It’s not about the money.
    After watching Cheney on TV the other night, I had a big epiphany. "The guy could care less about money. Or even Iraq. Or even — gulp — oil." Nope. Dick Cheney is playing a larger game. He wants power! You could see it in his face.
    Halliburton has been systematically fleecing Americans for a reason and it’s (…)

    By Ari Shavit
    "The significance of the disengagement plan is the freezing of the peace process," Prime Minister Ariel Sharon’s senior adviser Dov Weisglass has told Haaretz.
    "And when you freeze that process, you prevent the establishment of a Palestinian state, and you prevent a discussion on the refugees, the borders and Jerusalem. Effectively, this whole package called the Palestinian state, with all that it entails, has been removed indefinitely from our agenda. And all this with (…)

    "The FBI issued an order to Rackspace in the US (Indymedia’s provider with offices
    in the US and London) to remove physically one of our servers. The order was
    so short term that Rackspace had to give away our hard drives in the UK. The
    servers hosted numerous local IMCs. If you find a site is down: that might be
    the reason"
    The servers "ahimsa 2" have the following Indymedias: Nantes, Belgrade,

    A book published in France says the US regularly monitored French President Jacques Chirac’s phone calls.
    The book, which charts the breakdown of the leaders’ relationship in the run-up to the Iraq war, says several sources reported the surveillance.
    The US told a senior French military official the French-US relationship at a personal level was "irreparable".
    The book, Chirac contre Bush - l’autre guerre (Chirac versus Bush - the other war), comes out on Wednesday.

    During Tuesday’s Vice Presidential debate, Dick Cheney said defended his tenure as Halliburton’s CEO when Sen. John Edwards rightfully called into question Halliburton’s dealings with rogue nations, such as Iran, while Cheney was CEO and the fact that Halliburton paid a fine for an accounting scandal that took place under Cheney’s watch. Cheney responded to Edwards’ criticism by saying “the reason they keep mentioning Halliburton is because they’re trying to throw up a (…)
