Palin's Trouble with the Police
You have to admire the Republican chutzpah. Still confronting a national scandal about packing the Justice Department with "loyal Bushies," they pick a vice presidential candidate who – in her two executive jobs in Alaska – ousted top law-enforcement officials because they were insufficiently loyal or not malleable enough.

WaPo Admits Bungling Obama Quote
The Washington Post's ombudsman says the newspaper's original source for a quote that was used to portray Barack Obama as a megalomaniac now disputes the Post's negative interpretation that has spread across cable TV, the Internet and even into a John McCain attack ad.

Democrats Have Legalized Bush's War Crimes
(23 comments) The Democratic leadership cleared the way for the president and his collaborators to evade punishment for defying the law.

RFK's Death & the Hope of the Young
(4 comments) The 40th anniversary of Robert F. Kennedy's assassination may be a fitting time to recall how young Americans in an earlier generation ended up alienated from their parents, much as this year's battle between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton has created its own generational divide.

Bush's Endless Hypocrisy on Terror
(2 comments) Is a government guilty of terrorism if it harbors known terrorists? What should one say about a country that permits open fund-raising on behalf of a terrorist implicated in the mass killing of civilians?

The Bushes and Hitler's Appeasement
(3 comments) The irony of George W. Bush going before the Knesset and mocking the late Sen. William Borah for expressing surprise at Adolf Hitler's 1939 invasion of Poland is that Bush's own family played a much bigger role assisting the Nazis.

McCain and the 'Unitary Executive'
(1 comments) If John McCain wins the presidency – and gets to appoint one or more U.S. Supreme Court justices – America's 220-year experiment as a democratic Republic living under the principle that "no man is above the law" may come to an end.

Bill and Hillary's 'Stockholm Syndrome'
(2 comments) The two most distinctive features of Hillary Clinton's presidential campaign – and Bill Clinton's attempts at a supporting role – are a seemingly bottomless pit of self-pity (excavated in part by the right-wing attack machine years ago) and the copycat use of many right-wing tactics to demonize their opponents and critics.

Losing the War for Reality
(8 comments) To understand America's sharp decline in the early 21st Century, one must look at its lost ability to deal with reality. In a new book, former CIA analyst Melvin Goodman traces this problem back to the work of Robert Gates and others in the 1980s to "politicize" intelligence.

Where Would Obama Take the Nation?
(1 comments) Among the recent flood of celebrity endorsements, one that has received little attention came in a Washington Post op-ed by President Dwight Eisenhower's granddaughter, Susan Eisenhower, explaining why she's backing Barack Obama.

Hillary Signals Free Pass for Bush
(4 comments) Hillary Clinton's campaign is signaling that a second Clinton presidency will follow the look-to- the-future, don't- worry- about- accountability approach toward Republican wrongdoing that marked Bill Clinton's years in office.

The Truth about Colin Powell
(1 comments) Few modern Americans have enjoyed better press clippings than Colin Powell, which made him the perfect choice to sell the Iraq War. But there was a troubling side of Powell's history that Americans should have known,

Neck Deep, the Real Colin Powell, Selling Himself Again
(1 comments) Instead of working to end the Iraq War, which he helped launch with a deceptive speech at the U.N., Colin Powell is cashing in again on his name and government service. The retired general and former Secretary of State is getting star billing at a full-day motivational seminar with a speech on "take-charge leadership.

New Spy Law Broader Than Thought
Before the Democratic-controlled Congress caved in on George W. Bush’s warrantless-wiretapping powers, White House lawyers slipped in two provisions to give the President even more authority – and less accountability – than he claimed on his own. And the U.S. press corps largely missed that part of the story.

Misreading Iraq, Again
Dubya and his neoconservative allies have misread the reality in Iraq again and again over the past four-plus years. Now, with some signs of cooperation between U.S. commanders and Sunni tribal leaders, Bush and the neocons say they've finally got it right and Congress should back off on withdrawal deadlines. But the new evidence can be read the opposite. Their view could give another helping hand to al-Qaeda.

Next Generation of 'Family Jewels'?
(1 comments) In hailing release of the CIA's "family jewels" confessions, the Washington news media says that major intelligence abuses stopped in the mid-1970s because congressional oversight was put in place. But the reality is different and much more alarming. The evidence actually points to worse intelligence crimes committed after the period covered by the "family jewels." What really changed was the cover-ups got more effective.

Time for PBS to Go?
(4 comments) PBS is broadcasting what amounts to a neoconservative propaganda series entitled "America at a Crossroads," which has included a full hour info-mercial for George W. Bush's invasion of Iraq written and narrated by Richard Perle, one of the war's architects.

Bush/Cheney Dig in to Win
George W. Bush and Dick Cheney believe they can back down the Democrats over legislative timetables for leaving Iraq -- and as a bonus drive a wedge between national Democrats and their anti-war base. But all the political maneuvering in Washington is not likely to change the desperate facts on the ground in Iraq, where the Bush/Cheney military strategies are in dangerous disarray.

Friday, April 13, 2007
Iraq & the Logic of Timetables
It has become a standard part of George W. Bush's litany for why he will veto a congressional plan for setting a timetable for withdrawing U.S. combat forces from Iraq: "Why would you say to the enemy, 'Here's a timetable. Just go ahead and wait us out?'"

Friday, April 6, 2007
Bush/Cheney Still Lie with Abandon
What makes George W. Bush and Dick Cheney such extraordinary threats to the future of American democracy is their readiness to tell half-truths and outright lies consistently without any apparent fear of accountability.

Zeroing in on Cheney-Bush
(3 comments) The four-count conviction of White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby for perjury and obstruction of justice has left many Americans, including the jury, wondering why Libby's bosses weren't in the dock with him. The evidence, viewed chronologically, leaves little doubt that George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and other senior officials had a hand in both the exposure of a covert CIA officer's identity and the cover-up.

Iran Clock Is Ticking
Time may be running out for Congress and the American people to put in place any constraints on President George W. Bush before he plunges ahead with a new war against Iran. Military and intelligence sources say the preparations for a major bombing campaign are moving ahead swiftly, with the deteriorating U.S. situation in Iraq adding to Bush's urgency.

Gonzales Questions Habeas Corpus
(8 comments) In one of the most chilling public statements ever made by a U.S. Attorney General, Alberto Gonzales questioned whether the U.S. Constitution grants habeas corpus rights of a fair trial to every American.

Scooter Libby's Time-Travel Trial
The trial of former White House aide I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby is being billed by the Big Media as a case study of a favorite Washington cliché – "it's not the crime but the coverup" – a smugly delivered line suggesting that Libby committed no real offense beyond trimming a few facts when questioned by overzealous investigators.

The Logic of a Wider Mideast War
White House press secretary Tony Snow dismisses expectations of war with Iran as an "urban legend" and Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman Peter Pace says that "from a military standpoint" there's "no need to cross the Iranian border." But there are still strong reasons to suspect the Iraq War may soon spill over to Iran and possibly Syria.

Operation: Save Bush's Legacy
(2 comments) If press reports are correct ..." that George W. Bush will approve a troop "surge"ť in Iraq of 17,000 to 20,000 soldiers ..." the follow-up question must be whether the escalation will do anything but get more Americans and Iraqis killed while only forestalling the defeat of Bush's war policy.

Bush's 'Global War on Radicals'
(3 comments) Bush is laying the groundwork for a wider war in the Middle East by stretching the parameters of the "global war on terrorism" to add to his enemies list what he calls "radicals and extremists." The change makes the struggle so amorphous that Bush theoretically could strike at anyone he doesn't like whether there's a credible link to international terrorism or not. The word shift also portends an endless war between the United

Democrats Cave on Gates Nomination
Despite winning the Nov. 7 elections largely due to public anger over the Iraq War, congressional Democrats crumbled in their first post-election confrontation with President George W. Bush on the future direction of that conflict.

Tuesday, November 28, 2006
Why Trust Robert Gates on Iraq?
While in charge of the CIA's analytical division in the mid-1980s, Robert M. Gates made wildly erroneous predictions about the dangers posed by leftist-ruled Nicaragua and espoused policy prescriptions considered too extreme even by the Reagan administration, in one case advocating the U.S. bombing of Nicaragua.

America: What to Do Next?
(2 comments) The Nov. 7 elections took the wind out of the blowhard sails that had been driving the United States toward the shoals of endless war abroad and authoritarianism at home. But the ship of state still finds itself buffeted in very stormy seas, with a safe harbor far beyond the horizon.

Blackmail & Bobby Gates
Unresolved mysteries about former intelligence officer Robert Gates mean that his secret -- and possibly illegal -- activities in the 1980s could come back to haunt the USA if he is confirmed as Defense Secretary. Though Gates denies all wrongdoing, substantial evidence now exists that Gates engaged in controversial plans to arm the Iranians and the Iraqis, a past that conceivably could open him to pressure and even blackmail.

America's Slide to Totalitarianism
If the last-minute polling trends showing a powerful Republican comeback carry through the Nov. 7 elections, the end of America as we have known it for more than two centuries will be at hand.

How Neocon Favorites Duped U.S.
(1 comments) When American voters go to the polls on Nov. 7, one of the foremost questions that should be on their minds is how did the United States get into the Iraq mess, which has claimed the lives of more than 2,800 U.S. soldiers and possibly hundreds of thousands of Iraqis. What went wrong with Washington and what can citizens do about it?

All the President's Lies
Many Americans are cynical about what they hear from politicians – and often with good reason – but perhaps no U.S. political leader in modern history has engaged in a pattern of lying and distortion more systematically than George W. Bush has.

Original October Surprise (Part 3)
Editor's Note: Part 3 of our series about the "Original October Surprise" of 1980 addresses the troubling question of whether disgruntled CIA officers collaborated with their former boss, George H.W. Bush, to sabotage President Jimmy Carter's Iran-hostage negotiations -- and thus changed the course of U.S. political history. Links to part 1 & 2 are featured also.

How Democrats Might Blow It
(7 comments) As Democrats go through their biennial rite of premature victory celebrations, they are inviting defeat again by obsessing on polls about how many congressional seats are "in play" rather than on explaining to the American people what a Republican victory on Nov. 7 would mean to the nation.

Giving Osama What He Really Wants
The Republican National Committee has released a new campaign ad to rally the GOP base and other voters by showing threatening quotes from al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden followed by the pitch: "These are the stakes. Vote Nov. 7."

Who Is 'Any Person' in Tribunal Law?
(1 comments) The New York Times lead editorial gives false comfort to American citizens by assuring them that they will not be victims of George W. Bush's new draconian system for prosecuting enemies of the U.S. government in military tribunals outside constitutional protections.

Bush & His Dangerous Delusions
In George W. Bush's world, Saddam Hussein defied United Nations demands that he get rid of his weapons of mass destruction and barred U.N. inspectors; al-Qaeda's public statements must be believed even when contradicted by its private comments; and U.S. withdrawal from Iraq is unthinkable because it would let al-Qaeda "extend the caliphate," a mythical state that doesn't really exist.

Why Capitol Pages Fear Retaliation
For generations, American parents have sent their high-school-age children to Washington to serve as Capitol Hill pages and to learn about the real world of politics. In the scandal surrounding Rep. Mark Foley's salacious e-mails, it's clear that one lesson the pages learned was to fear Republican retaliation.

Hegemony or Survival: America's Quest for Global Dominance (The American Empire Project)
(3 comments) The United States is following the lead of "dirty war" nations, such as Argentina and Chile, in enacting what amounts to an amnesty law protecting U.S. government operatives, apparently up to and including President George W. Bush, who have committed or are responsible for human rights crimes.

Thursday, September 21, 2006
The Bushes & the Truth About Iran
(4 comments) Having gone through the diplomatic motions with Iran, George W. Bush is shifting toward a military option that carries severe risks for American soldiers in Iraq as well as for long-term U.S. interests around the world. Yet, despite this looming crisis, the Bush Family continues to withhold key historical facts about U.S.-Iranian relations.

Bush Shields Dad on Chile Terrorism
(1 comments) 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.

Bush's Way or the Highway
Bush's Sept. 15 outburst – threatening to stop interrogating terror suspects if Congress doesn't let him revise the Geneva Conventions to permit coercive techniques – is part of a pattern of petulance that dates back to even before the 9/11 attacks but has resurfaced as Bush faces new challenges to his authority.

Thursday, September 7, 2006
Election 2006 & World War III
(16 comments) As Americans go to the polls in two months, they should have one thought fixed in their minds: they will be voting on whether to commit the nation to fighting World War III against large segments of the world's one billion Muslims. Beyond the cost in blood and treasure, this war will mean the end of the United States as a democratic Republic.

Smearing Joe Wilson, Again
(1 comments) In a world that wasn't upside-down, the editorial page of Washington's biggest newspaper might praise a whistleblower like former Ambassador Joseph Wilson for alerting the American people to a government deception that helped lead the country into a disastrous war that has killed 2,627 U.S. soldiers.

Israeli Leaders Fault Bush on War
(2 comments) Amid the political and diplomatic fallout from Israel's faltering invasion of Lebanon, some Israeli officials are privately blaming President George W. Bush for egging Prime Minister Ehud Olmert into the ill-conceived military adventure against the Hezbollah militia in south Lebanon.

A New War Frenzy
(2 comments) Americans are being whipped into a new war frenzy with simplistic visions of evil villains, much like occurred four years ago before the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq.

Was Bob Woodward Slam-Dunked?
(4 comments) New evidence undercuts Bob Woodward's famous account that CIA director George Tenet misled George W. Bush about Iraq's weapons of mass destruction with the assurance that it was a "slam-dunk" case. U.S. intelligence insiders gave a different version of that meeting to author Ron Suskind -- and leaked documents challenge Woodward's depiction of Bush as a leader who wanted to make sure "no one stretches to make our case."

Why Democrats Lose
(5 comments) At dinner a few weeks ago, a well-placed Republican political operative was oozing confidence about GOP prospects in the November elections, not because the voters were enamored of George W. Bush but because the Democrats and liberals had done so little to improve their ability to reach the public with their message.

Is O'Reilly a Nazi? Just Asking
(1 comments) If someone else had done what Fox News star Bill O’Reilly did the other day – malign American troops who fought in the Battle of the Bulge and at Iwo Jima – it’s hard to imagine how ugly the Fox News reaction would be.

Bush's My Lai
(6 comments) Haditha Massacre likely to follow the course of other Iraq war-crimes cases, such as the prisoner abuse scandal at Abu Ghraib – some low- or mid-level soldiers will be court-martialed and marched off to prison.

Bush's Enron Lies
(1 comments) The national news media bought into the Bush administration’s spin that Bush did nothing to bail out his Enron benefactors,...but the reality is that the Bush-can’t-be-bought spin was never true. Condi was butt deep in it.

Rummy Logic & Enduring Lies
Facing hecklers over Iraq War lies, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld appealed for renewed faith in George W. Bush's honesty. But Rumsfeld then resumed the Bush administration's long pattern of deceiving the American people with what might be called "Rummy logic." Yet, even as the public catches on, the mainstream news media continues to act the fool.

Bush's Hypocrisy: Cuban Terrorists
Like an aging rock star singing a beloved oldie, George W. Bush can count on cheers whenever he delivers a favorite line from the Bush Doctrine enunciated after the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks: Any country that harbors a terrorist is equally guilty as the terrorist.

Friday, April 14, 2006
George W. Bush IS a Liar
The White House is taking umbrage over new press reports that George W. Bush misled the American people on a key justification for invading Iraq. But Bush’s latest excuse – that he was just an unwitting conveyor of bad information, not a willful purveyor of lies – has been stretched thin by overuse.

America's Matrix, Revisited
“Matrix” and its sequels offer a useful analogy for anyone trying to make sense of the chasm that has opened between what’s real and what Americans perceive is real. Like the science-fiction world of the trilogy, a false reality is being pulled daily over people’s eyes, often through what they see and hear on their TV screens. Facts have lost value. Logic rarely applies.

Condi, War Crimes & the Press
During the three years of carnage in Iraq, Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has shifted away from her now-discredited warning about a “mushroom cloud” to assert a strategic rationale for the invasion that puts her squarely in violation of the Nuremberg principle against aggressive war.

Wednesday, March 15, 2006
Feingold, Kerry & the 'Strategists'
Years before Sen. John Kerry fell under the spell of national Democratic “strategists,” he believed that a Democrat’s best hope for winning the White House was to run as an insurgent. To overcome built-in Republican advantages, Kerry felt a Democrat had to show principle and challenge the status quo.

Bush Still Ignores Iraq Reality
As George W. Bush sets out on another speaking tour to justify invading Iraq three years ago, he’s still ignoring what should be the chief lesson for any U.S. President: Don’t play games with the intelligence, especially on matters of war and peace. You only get good people killed.

Oversight by Capitulation
Despite a dip in his opinion polls, George W. Bush’s transformation of the United States into an authoritarian society continues apace with new “compromises” with Congress actually consolidating his claims to virtually unlimited executive power.

Tuesday, March 7, 2006
Democrats Need Strong Message
Election 2006 -- and voter dissatisfaction with the Republicans -- offer hope for the Democrats to reclaim one or both houses of Congress. But Democratic leaders have shown little understanding of the potential for a powerful national message that targets George W. Bush's trampling of constitutional principles .

Bush Flummoxes Kafka, Orwell
Even Kafka and Orwell, masters at dissecting the cruel absurdities of totalitarian state power, might be at a loss for words in the face of George W. Bush’s latest legal and rhetorical formulations on torture.

'Torture Boy' Signals More Spying
Correcting misleading testimony to Congress, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales has signaled that George W. Bush’s warrantless surveillance of Americans went beyond the known eavesdropping on communications to suspected terrorists overseas.

Why U.S. Intelligence Failed, Redux
Paul Pillar, the CIA's senior intelligence analyst for the Middle East from 2000 to 2005 has added the latest critique of Bush/Cheney/Neocon "cherry-picking" intelligence supporting former Bush officials accounts.

Alito Filibuster: It Only Takes One
With the fate of the U.S. Constitution in the balance, it’s hard to believe there’s no senator prepared to filibuster Supreme Court nominee Samuel Alito, whose theories on the “unitary executive” could spell the end of the American democratic Republic.

Robert Parry's Year-End Letter
(1 comments) The United States is facing a political crisis almost unparalleled in our history, a crisis uniquely dangerous because at its center it is not about a loss of power but about a loss of principle – and even morality.

Democracy's Battle Joined, Again
Bush and Cheney are saying that in the War on Terror, they must be a law onto themselves with the flexibility to do whatever they deem necessary. When they say they are operating within the law, what they mean is that their interpretation of the law gives them unlimited powers.

The New Madness of King George
Sunday before Christmas, a fidgety George W. Bush interrupted regular programming on U.S. networks to deliver an address to the nation that painted the Iraq War and the War on Terror in the same black-and-white colors he has always favored.

A Twist in the Rove-Plame Mystery
new information about a conversation between Rove's lawyer and a TIME reporter suggest, contrary to Rove's attorney's claim, that the evidence buttresses the case against Rove rather than exonerating him.

Bush in Iraq, Slouching Toward Genocide
Despite pretty words about democracy and freedom, George W. Bush’s “victory” plan in Iraq is starting to look increasingly like an invitation to genocide, the systematic destruction of the Sunni minority...

Dissing Fitzgerald & Prosecutorial Politics
Former independent counsel Joseph diGenova is one of the harshest critics of Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation into the leak of a CIA officer's identity. But unlike Fitzgerald, when investigating Bush sr., diGenova bent over backward to avoid finding wrongdoing. This raises interesting questions.

So Iraq Was About the Oil
(1 comments) The Bush administration has always denied the Iraq invasion was a case of "blood for oil." But recent comments by the former chief of staff to Colin Powell leaves little doubt that oil was an important part of George W. Bush's calculus for invading Iraq -- and for staying there indefinitely.

Is Impeachment the Answer?
(3 comments) Washington pundits are showering George W. Bush with advice on how to “restart” his presidency, but many Americans seem more interested in whether it's possible to “terminate” his presidency, removing him and other top officials from office. It is a question asked of us often.

When Journalists Join the Cover-ups
The back story to the Judith Miller NY Times fiasco is the long-term erosion of skeptical journalism in the face of U.S. govt. pressure for greater "patriotism" from the press. In the case of Miller and the Iraq War, the barrier between reporter and govt. seems to have washed away almost completely.

How Rotten Are These Guys?

Colin Powell Being Colin Powell
(1 comments) What we found in our investigation of Powell’s legend was not the heroic figure of his press clippings, but the story of an ambitious man with a weak moral compass. He either hid in the reeds when others were standing up for what they knew to be right or he contributed to the wrongdoing.

Explaining the Bush Cocoon
