The Buying and Selling of the Pentagon

Part II

Dina Rasor, Truthout: 'I don't believe that the US can make real changes to DoD procurement until we change the incentives of the individuals who work in this corrupt system. All other attempts at reform have quickly been deformed because there are too many careerists who are making money gaming the system - a system that also severely punishes those who don't go along with the corruption. Having worked for decades on trying to slow or close the revolving door to no avail, I believe rather drastic action needs to be implemented. These are not easy solutions, but I am now convinced that nothing else will stop the self-dealing.'

Libya: The Law is Clear: It is Illegal to Arm the 'Rebels'

By Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey

Under the UN Charter and Resolutions 1970 and 1973 it would be illegal for any entity to arm the 'rebels' in Libya and in so doing, this would constitute a breach of international law, leaving the perpetrators open to criminal liability. And has anyone researched the history of the 'rebel' movement?

The absurdity of trusting foreign-policy makers

Future of Freedom Foundation Future of Freedom Foundation
by James Bovard

04/13/11

The United States is attacking Libya on the basis of vague hopes that peace will triumph after the Allied bombing ceases. There are plenty of reasons to doubt whether a few hundred cruise missiles will beget harmony in the Libyan desert. But one of the biggest mistakes would be to assume that U.S. government policymakers understand what they are doing...
