Charlie Savage, The New York Times News Service: 'The Obama administration s secret legal memorandum that opened the door to the killing of Anwar al-Awlaki, the American-born radical Muslim cleric hiding in Yemen, found that it would be lawful only if it were not feasible to take him alive, according to people who have read the document.'

Chris Hedges, Truthdig: 'Ketchup, a petite 22-year-old from Chicago with wavy red hair and glasses with bright red frames, arrived in Zuccotti Park in New York on Sept. 17. She had a tent, a rolling suitcase, 40 dollars' worth of food, the graphic version of Howard Zinn s 'A People s History of the United States' and a sleeping bag. She had no return ticket, no idea what she was undertaking, and no acquaintances among the stragglers who joined her that afternoon to begin the Wall Street occupation. She decided to go to New York after reading the Canadian magazine Adbusters, which called for the occupation, although she noted that when she got to the park Adbusters had no discernable presence.'

When Being Rich Makes Us Poor, People Should Occupy Wall Street

Dean Baker, Truthout: "The Very Serious People in Washington are busy trying to find creative ways to cut Social Security and Medicare and take other benefits from middle-class and moderate-income families. The refrain here is that we just can't afford this level of generosity any more.'

Two U.S. soldiers have been accused of raping teenage girls in South Korea in separate incidents, prompting U.S. military officials to apologize Saturday as they tried to ease growing public anger. Army Brig. Gen. David Conboy, who supervises the U.S. garrison in Seoul, issued a statement apologizing for 'pain' caused by allegations that a U.S. soldier raped a girl in her rented room in Seoul on Sept. 17...

How many protesters were pepper-sprayed at the Smithsonian?

Why oppose interventionism?

Antiwar.com
by Justin Raimondo

10/10/11

I often hear a variant of the following from conservatives (and some liberals) when confronted with the foreign policy views of libertarians: 'Sure, I m all for a more peaceful foreign policy, but you guys take it too far - isolationism won t work in our increasingly interconnected world. Besides, we have real enemies we have to deal with.' There are several problems with this response. First, there is no such thing as 'isolationism' and no such creature as an 'isolationist.'...

Leslie Thatcher, Truthout: 'October 6, 2011, was a perfect autumn day in our nation s capital: bright and clement. And at Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC, from early this morning, people gathered from across the US and places beyond to 'stop the machine' and demand that human need, not corporate greed, guide the direction of this country. The October 2011 movement - planned six months ago - is separate from, but wholly synergistic with the 'Occupy Washington' movement in nearby McPherson Park.'

Eleven Facts You Need to Know About the Nation s Biggest Banks

Pat Garofalo, ThinkProgress: 'The Occupy Wall Street protests that began in New York City more than three weeks ago have now spread across the country. The choice of Wall Street as the focal point for the protests - as even Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said - makes sense due to the big bank malfeasance that led to the Great Recession.'

A Citizens' Campaign for a New National Security Policy

Gareth Porter, Truthout: 'The starting point for a citizens' campaign for a new national security strategy should be to call attention to the reality that US wars - supposedly against terrorism - have produced clear winners and losers. The winners are the leaders of the military, the Pentagon, the CIA and their private sector and elected political allies. Aggressive US wars are not merely the result of mistaken policies, but of the national security institutions pursuing their own interests at the expense of the interests of the American people.'

William Rivers Pitt, Truthout: 'Far be it from me to accuse Gandhi of missing a note, but in the case of the 'Occupy Wall Street' protests, the Mahatma s famous quote appears to be lacking a few essential words. 'First they ignore you,' he said, 'then they ridicule you, then they fight you, then you win.' That s not quite correct.... First they ignore you, then they ridicule you... Then they get scared.'
