Green Zone Challenges Official Dogma on the Iraq War Green Zone is a war film with a message, one that is most certainly not about the honors or glories of war but rather the reasons and justifications for war that might be manufactured to create support for invasions or conflicts. As members of the press and politicians begin to push their dogmatic views on the Iraq War into the public, it's important for films like Green Zone to be produced.

Will the Showdown in Chicago Live Up to Progressive Hype? The Showdown in Chicago is here and I wonder if it will live up to the hype that organizers have created around it.

Martin Luther King Jr on 'Consensus Presidents' Like Obama and the Power of Demonstrations Martin Luther King Jr. was a revolutionary spirit whose work as a civil rights leader came to be revered by people all over the world. President Ronald Reagan begrudgingly chose to give in calls to honor King each year. But, what we celebrate, many liberals or progressives understand, is a sanitized version of King.

Wars, Torture and Other Aspects of the New Normal Won Big in the Midterm Election Within the pomp and circumstance of the election, there was little to no talk about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. There was little conversation about the torture. And, there was little discussion of how policies, which encourage violations of American civil liberties, have been systematized.

OpenLeaks Founder Destroys Cache of Unreleased WikiLeaks Documents For the past months, media have held up DDB and his OpenLeaks as a solid alternative to WikiLeaks--a project that would do "what WikiLeaks is trying to do without the drama."
