In testimony before the Senate Intelligence Committee, the Director of National Intelligence reaffirmed what the U.S. intelligence community has been saying for years: Iran has no nuclear weapons program, is not building a nuclear weapon and has not even made a decision to do so.

Olmert accuses Netanyahu of exaggerating Iranian threat

He indicated that Iran did not cross the ''red line'' yet in its nuclear capabilities as claimed by Netanyahu in his speech to the UN General Assembly several months ago. He affirmed the Iranian nuclear program has not been making progress in years and that the extent of the threat has been exaggerated.

Finanzwetten: Die phantasievolle Ahnungslosigkeit von Sarrazin und CO

*Vor der Finanzkrise hatten die Berliner Verkehrsbetriebe sich an einer sog. Derivatwette beteiligt. Das Unternehmen hatte offensichtlich 2007 darauf gewettet, dass die Finanzkrise wohl nicht kommen wird. Die Wette ist verloren. Aufsichtsratschef war damals ein gewisser Herr Sarrazin (heute Buchautor). Wie kann man auf die Idee kommen, dass Kommunen und/oder ihre eigenen Unternehmen sich an undurchsichtige Finanzspekulationen beteiligen? Auf der Suche nach einer Antwort ist mir mal wieder der Begriff *Phantasie* über den Weg gelaufen!...* Artikel von Sören Kater vom 27.

The symbiosis of conservative militarists calling for more guns, and liberals calling for more butter, is today complete: the log-rolling continues apace. The War Party pushes for more intervention, more threat-inflation, and more 'defense' spending, while the 'progressives' campaign for deficit spending, monetary inflation, and more domestic spending. These two factions happily coexist, egging each other on, and therein lies the road to bankruptcy and endless war...

United States Engaged in the Practice of Torture: Report

By Jesselyn Radack

The Justice Department has declined to prosecute any of the government officials who ordered torture, the doctors who supervised it, the lawyers who justified it, or the agents who actually tortured people. Shame on the Obama administration.

CounterPunch
by Rob Urie

04/20/13

Confirmation by the Constitution Project nearly a decade late that the George W. Bush administration and the U.S. military and ?intelligence? services committed acts of torture in Iraq, Afghanistan and elsewhere appears a Rorschach test for the ?sentiments? of the American people. However, sentiments aside, formal indictments of culpable officials on war crimes charges and the start of impeachment proceedings against current President Barack Obama are the only relevant responses to the report.

Jabhabt al-Nusra currently administers various villages and cities (such as Raqqa) through a manifestation of Islamist governance embodied in shari'a councils, and if Jabhat al-Nusra is al-Qaida, then it's not absurd to say that something resembling a rough patchwork of quasi city-states has been established by al-Qaida in Syria.
