The Western coup against Syria's Assad marches along under humanitarian cover, the lemming-like media does its part, and the rest of us miss the whole thing. George Orwell would be so, so impressed.

Syria: The Dangers Of One-Sided Reporting
SHARE More Sharing
We keep getting reports of atrocities committed by the Syrian government. Those reports may well be accurate. But the truth is usually a bit more complicated in war zones. If news organizations don't start adopting a higher standard for their reports, another Libyan-style intervention, complete with massive bombing and untold civilian casualties, may be inevitable.

Why We Can't Stand Anyone CNN Likes
SHARE More Sharing
Fareed Zakaria, the favorite pundit of the Council on Foreign Relations, is bewildered that the Saudis aren't more welcoming toward Arab Spring. And he loves George W. Bush's love of freedom. Maybe this is why CNN ratings are at record lows.

Something Stinks: John Edwards And A Thirty Year Jail Term?
SHARE More Sharing
Does it seem a little bit odd that John Edwards is facing a potential thirty year jail term? There's been plenty of focus on the charges against him and on the trial--but precious little on why Edwards was even investigated and prosecuted in the first place. It's worth pondering which politicians have been made to take a fall and which have not--and why. There may be more here than meets the eye.

Watergate Revelations: The Coup Against Nixon, Part 1 Of 3
SHARE More Sharing
Suddenly, everyone's interested in the real story of Watergate and the CIA. A new documentary in the works from Robert Redford, who played reporter Bob Woodward of the Washington Post in the hit movie "All the President's Men." A new book claiming that Bob Woodward's boss at the Post, Ben Bradlee, had doubts about the stories Bob and Carl Bernstein produced. And Salon wrote about the tension between Nixon and the CIA. Would a really big set of revelations be of interest? We're going to publish the three chapters of WhoWhatWhy Editor Russ Baker's book, Family of Secrets, that relate directly to Nixon and Watergate, and explain the back story, including the real role of Bob Woodward, George H.W. Bush and the CIA in Nixon's undoing. Today, the first of those three chapters.
