Morgan Strong, Consortium News: ''Game Change,' the HBO movie on John McCain s choice of Sarah Palin, faults his Republican campaign for its slipshod vetting of the little-known Alaska governor, but leaves out the back story of big-time neocons from D.C. helping position Palin for her surprise rise and Palin manipulating everyone.''

The Channel 4 film

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/sri-lankas-killing-fields/4od#3303398

The cruelty that took place in Sri Lankan War is hard to put in words; it leaves you speechless. It continued to address the most contradictory question raised, The UN are willing to turn a blind eye; was it a systematic eradication of innocent Tamil civilians that took place during the war? The finger was quite clearly pointed at Mahinda Rajapaksa, the president himself and his brother Gothabaya Rajapaksa, the Defense Secretary.

We, the undersigned, call upon the world to support the establishment of an independent, international inquiry into the credible allegations of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Sri Lanka during the final months of the armed conflict in 2009.

What are the Americans hiding?

Sgt. Robert Bales and the Trauma of Repeat Deployments

Video

Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: ''Does Robert Bales, the army staff sergeant who allegedly killed 17 Afghan civilians on March 11, symbolize a larger problem in our military ranks? In this web-exclusive video, Vietnam veteran and military scholar Andrew Bacevich talks with Bill Moyers about Bales' accountability, the stress of repeated tours on soldiers, and how war itself 'compromises our humanity.' This weekend on public television, Moyers and Bacevich explore the futility of 'endless' wars, and provide a reality check on the rhetoric of American exceptionalism.''

Evidence Mounts That Afghan Massacre Was Linked to Special Operations Forces' Response to Improvised Explosive Device

Gareth Porter and Shah Nouri, Truthout: ''Interviews with survivors, relatives of the civilians massacred in Panjwai on March 11 ... add new evidence suggesting that the massacre was linked to the response by the US Special Operations Forces (SOF) unit to a roadside bomb that had blown up a US troop carrier three days earlier. The brother of one of those killed said that the victim had been warned by a US soldier at a checkpoint near the Special Forces camp that the Americans knew his vineyard was very close to where the improvised explosive device (IED) exploded.''

Repeal the ''Stand Your Ground'' Laws

Eugene Robinson, Washington Post Writers Group: ''The 'Stand Your Ground' laws in Florida and other states should all be repealed. At best, they are redundant. At worst, as in the Trayvon Martin killing, they are nothing but a license to kill. Police in Sanford, Fla., cited the statute as grounds for their decision not to file charges against Martin s killer, George Zimmerman. Martin, 17, was strolling home from a convenience store, armed with an iced tea and a bag of Skittles, when Zimmerman, a Neighborhood Watch volunteer and wannabe police officer, spotted him and decided he looked suspicious.''

Zimmerman Verdict: The Slave Patrol Is Alive and Well in Florida

Denied the Right to Be Young

Eugene Robinson, Washington Post Writers Group: In a society where young men of color are viewed as simultaneously criminal and expendable, the conversation we need to be having after the Zimmerman acquittal is how men like Trayvon Martin are denied their rights to live and flourish in America before they are even born.

Marjorie Cohn, Truthout: A Southern jury, none of them black, was prohibited from considering race, instructed only on the parts of self-defense law that helped Zimmerman, and heard the chief police investigator improperly testify that he believed Zimmerman, whose shooting of an unarmed 17-year-old the jury found justifiable.

The no-fault march to war

Antiwar.com
by Philip Giraldi

03/22/12

People who passionately want the United States to go to war should have to accept that there will be consequences for themselves personally. This is why the U.S. Constitution mandated that only Congress could vote to go to war, denying the authority to do so to the office of the president. That was because Congress was considered to be the house of the people, while the country s chief executive was more analogous to a monarch. Only the people could make the decision to go to war .... Today s American elite apparently sees things very differently...

The Finger of Fate Upon You

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: ''At this moment, tens of thousands of Americans in Iraq, Afghanistan and all over the world are under arms and in peril, engaged in conflicts that serve only to prolong this terrible, endless age of war. At this moment, millions of innocent people are cowering somewhere because of it. Make no mistake: someone is, at this moment, bathing in riches at the expense of those soldiers, their families and the untold scores of civilians whose only crime was getting in the way of the first, best and biggest payday of this new century.''

Changing Our Military Mindset

Video

Bill Moyers, Moyers & Co.: ''This week, on an all-new Moyers & Company, Bill Moyers and Bacevich explore the futility of 'endless' wars, and provide a reality check on the rhetoric of American exceptionalism. 'Are we so unimaginative, so wedded to the reliance on military means that we cannot conceive of any way to reconcile our differences with groups and nations in the Islamic world, and therefore bring this conflict to an end?' Bacevich tells Moyers.''

Peter Dreier, Truthout: ''Fifty years ago (in March 1962) Michael Harrington wrote a book, 'The Other America: Poverty in the United States', a haunting tour of deprivation in an affluent society, that inspired Presidents Kennedy and Johnson to wage a war on poverty. This slim, 186-page volume became a best-seller and became required reading for social scientists, elected officials, college students, members of study groups sponsored by churches and synagogues, reporters and intellectuals, the new wave of community organizers and the student activists who traveled to the South to join the civil rights crusade.''

What the pushers of Keystone want to keep secret from you and me is that this oil will not be made into gasoline for our vehicles. Most of it will be refined into diesel and jet fuel and exported to Europe, China, and Latin America. The claim that the pipeline will reduce our reliance on OPEC is an outright lie.''

Wall Street Confidence Trick

The Interest-Rate Swaps That Are Bankrupting Local Governments

Ellen Brown, Truthout: ''For more than a decade, banks and insurance companies convinced local governments, hospitals, universities and other nonprofits that interest-rate swaps would lower interest rates on bonds sold for public projects such as roads, bridges and schools. The swaps were entered into to insure against a rise in interest rates; but instead, interest rates fell to historically low levels.... The banks got in trouble, and the Federal Reserve and federal government rushed in to bail them out, rewarding them for their misdeeds at the expense of the taxpayers.''

A Seven-Day Plan to Finally Hold Wall Street Accountable

Bruce Judson, New Deal 2.0: ''Since the start of the financial crisis, federal and state officials have been struggling to change Wall Street behavior. To date, every effort has failed miserably, and the weak enforcement provisions of the robo-mortgage settlement are unlikely to meaningfully change this dynamic.... The greatest moral hazard now confronting the nation is what appears to be increasingly brazen criminal activity by financial industry executives. With each decision not to prosecute, Wall Street executives justifiably conclude that they are immune to the rules.''

Future of Freedom Foundation

Among the favorite mantras of conservatives is 'With freedom comes responsibility.' They love to hurl it at liberals whenever they point to the disastrous failure of the welfare state. When liberals cry, 'Please, judge us by our good intentions, not by the actual results of our policies,' conservatives respond, 'No, good intentions mean nothing. What matters is the damage and destructiveness your policies have caused'...

Obama s Afghanistan massacre deniers

Reason
by Terry Michael

03/20/12)

Just as their 'conservative' predecessors tried to erase from collective memory the My Lai massacre in Vietnam and the Abu Ghraib prison torture in Iraq, these 'liberals' attempt to excise from memory American Marines urinating on dead Muslims and the rampage by the four-times-deployed Bales in Afghanistan. They give themselves political cover and comfort with the illusion that this was just an isolated incident, involving a lone gunman, killing children, in a distant Afghan village, where America is, after all, only pursuing the worthy mission of spreading democracy...

Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: ''A group of right-wing extremists in the United States would have the American public believe it is easier to imagine the end of the world than it is to imagine the end of a market society. Comprising this group are the Republican Party extremists, religious fundamentalists such as Rick Santorum and a host of conservative anti-public foundations funded by billionaires such as the Koch brothers, whose pernicious influence fosters the political and cultural conditions for creating vast inequalities and massive human hardships throughout the globe.''

Details of Talks With IAEA Belie Charge Iran Refused Cooperation

Gareth Porter, Inter Press Service News: ''The first detailed account of negotiations between the International Atomic Energy Agency and Iran last month belies earlier statements by unnamed Western officials portraying Iran as refusing to cooperate with the IAEA in allaying concerns about alleged nuclear weaponization work ... The talks in February came close to a final agreement, but were hung up primarily over the IAEA insistence on being able to reopen issues even after Iran had answered questions about them to the organization s satisfaction.''

Where Is The Outrage Over The Murder of a U.S. Citizen?

By Leonard Pitt

A U.S. citizen is dead and the U.S. government killed him. Without trial. Without due process. Without hesitation. And many of those who loudly deplored George W. Bush for smaller excesses seem content to allow Barack Obama this larger one.
