    Bush Shields Dad On Chile Terrorism By Robert Parry September 22, 2006 Chilean investigators say the Bush administration is undercutting their case against former dictator Augusto Pinochet for his alleged role in the terrorist assassination of a political rival on the streets of Washington three decades ago, a crime that then-CIA Director George H.W. Bush appears to have tolerated and then helped cover-up. Now, George W. Bush has picked up the mantle from his father for protecting the (…)

    Did Hugo Chavez Speak Truth Or Lies?
    PART ONE
    By Peter Fredson
    September 22, 2006
    The President of Venezuela addressed the U.N. Assembly this week. His unkind references to the President of the United States, George W. Bush, made many people uncomfortable, electing a huge variety of boorish, loutish, obscene, and uncomplimentary remarks.
    I have examined the Chavez speech in detail, and find that much of what was criticized was actually warranted. If we leave out the jingoistic and (…)

    A Courageous Man Speaks Out - Hugo Chavez Was In Rare Form at the UN - by Stephen Lendman
    Hugo Chavez chooses his authors, political and social thinkers well, and there’s no one better than Noam Chomsky. In his dramatic and courageous speech yesterday to the 61st UN General Assembly, Chavez held up a copy of Chomsky’s 2003 book Hegemony or Survival (which I’ve read and quoted from before). In the book, Chomsky cites the work of Ernst Mayr whom he describes as "one of the great figures (…)

    NEW YORK (AP)—Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said Wednesday evening that U.S. President George W. Bush has committed genocide during the war in Iraq and should be put on trial.
    "The president of the United States should go before an international tribunal," Chavez said as applause filled the hall at The Cooper Union for the Advancement of Science and Art.
    "I’m not an enemy of the United (…)

    Hugo Chavez’s New World Vision - by Stephen Lendman
    After agreeing to supply discounted oil to the richest city in Europe - London - to help its low income residents use the city’s buses at a reduced cost after earlier providing discounted heating oil for the poor in several northeastern US cities including its richest one - New York, Hugo Chavez is at it again. This time he offered to aid the US oil and cash-rich state of Alaska by providing an even greater benefit - free or subsidized (…)

    Ken’s oil for brooms deal: fuel for us, a clean-up for Caracas
    Hugh Muir Wednesday September 13, 2006 The Guardian
    The point at which President Hugo Chávez decided that London should serve as a model for services and governance in Caracas was not immediately apparent. He came in May, visited City Hall amid much controversy and fanfare, and was soon gone.
    But the result of his visit is likely to be an extraordinary deal struck with London’s mayor, Ken Livingstone, that would see (…)

    As with any piece that angers me, I have to walk away for a bit, process it, and then write of it. In this case, I cannot especially the day after the fifth anniversary of terrorist attacks that befell this nation. Bush is seen as our defender against said terrorists. I would like to ask him then why is a US judge releasing a terrorist from jail?
    For close to a year now, I have been the voice of 73 innocent victims of terrorism as they lost their (…)
