Clinton initially opposed cutting off funds for the troops, but said Wednesday that she believed last week’s vote was cast in support of soldiers abroad. “The best thing I can do to continue my very vigorous support of the troops is to begin to bring them home,” she told the AP. Clinton was on her […]

Local peace activists expressed surprise, sadness and sympathy following Cindy Sheehan’s Memorial Day announcement that she’s leaving her controversial role as the face of America’s anti-war movement. “I was shocked and stunned like everybody else, but, actually, in retrospect, I’ve been kind of thinking the same things and I think probably she was under a […]

Since last year, the military’s embedding rules require that journalists obtain a signed consent from a wounded soldier before the image can be published. Images that put a face on the dead, that make them identifiable, are simply prohibited.

Working reporters say the soldiers in the field are not overly concerned with media coverage - they […]

Special counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald has made it clearer than ever that he was hot on the trail of a coordinated campaign to out CIA agent Valerie Plame until that line of investigation was cut off by the repeated lies from Vice President Cheney’s former chief of staff, I. Lewis “Scooter” Libby.

In Friday’s eminently readable […]

An unclassified summary of outed CIA officer Valerie Plame’s employment history at the spy agency, disclosed for the first time today in a court filing by Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, indicates that Plame was “covert” when her name became public in July 2003. The nature of Plame’s […]

May was the deadliest month this year for American troops in Iraq. Six more American soldiers were killed in bombings to the north of Baghdad on Monday, the US military said today, bringing the number of American military deaths to 112 this month. The worst month for US forces was November 2004, when 137 were […]

Attorney General John Ashcroft is really sick. About to give a press conference in Virginia, he is stricken with pain so severe he has to lie down on the floor.

I have endured a lot of smear and hatred since Casey was killed and especially since I became the so-called “Face” of the American anti-war movement. Especially since I renounced any tie I have remaining with the Democratic Party, I have been further trashed on such “liberal blogs” as the Democratic Underground. Being called an […]

Way back in March, the Washington Post reported…

“Al-Qaeda in Iraq is the United States’ most formidable enemy in that country. But unlike Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaeda organization in Pakistan, U.S. intelligence officials and outside experts believe, the Iraqi branch poses little danger to the security of the U.S. homeland.”

And yet, over and over again yesterday, […]
