What Does the ICC Stand For?

By Diana Johnstone

It certainly does not deserve its official title, since it studiously ignores truly 'international' crimes, such as U.S. and NATO aggression or the many massacres of civilians that result.

Despite Intelligence Rejecting Iran as Nuclear Threat, US Could Be Headed for Iraq Redux

Amy Goodman and Juan Gonzalez, Democracy Now!: 'In his latest article for The New Yorker magazine, Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Seymour Hersh says the United States might attack Iran based on distorted estimates of Iran s nuclear and military threat - just like it did with Saddam Hussein s government in Iraq. Hersh reveals that despite using Iranian informants and cutting-edge surveillance technology, U.S. officials have been unable to find decisive evidence that Iran has been moving enriched uranium to an underground weapon-making center.'

General Keane Keen on Iran Attack

Ray McGovern, Consortium News: 'Celebrating a reunion with close friends of Fordham College (class of 1961) on a perfect June day in New York should be a time of little or no stress. So I should have avoided a long lecture by a retired four-star general from the class of 1966, Jack Keane. Keane, now on Fordham University s Board of Trustees, has been the go-to general for the neoconservatives in recent years. He said he was speaking to us before catching a flight to Europe where he would lobby leaders of the 41 NATO countries who, except for three, have been 'unwilling to ask their people to sacrifice' in places like Afghanistan. (By all indications, Keane has apparently given no thought to the possibility that the Europeans have been far quicker to understand that the war in Afghanistan - aka Vietnamistan - is a fool's errand.)'
