Mike A. Ludwig, Truthout: A Virginia outsourcing deal pays companies 70 percent of toll revenues lost when the number of carpoolers in the express lanes exceeds 24 percent of traffic.

Nukes Are Nuts: The Sequel

David Krieger, Truthout: The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki demonstrated that a single small nuclear weapon is capable of destroying a city and causing mass death and suffering beyond any society s capacity to cope with such a human tragedy. Nuclear weapons are a scourge that does not protect but, rather, threatens human survival.

"Abductions of this nature, followed by interrogations during incommunicado detention, undermine the presumption of innocence," the organization said Monday.
