World-News

Truthout s Jeffrey Kaye and Jason Leopold report on new documents they exclusively obtained from a top counterterrorism official that, for the first time, reveals the existence of a secret Defense Department intelligence unit charged with tracking Osama bin Laden and al-Qaeda prior to 9/11, which knew that the terrorist group wanted to strike the World Trade Center and the Pentagon. But, the documents show, this information was 'intentionally' withheld from Congressional investigators probing the 9/11 attacks.

What Really Happened in the Bin Laden Raid?

By Mark Follman

Details of the story don t add up. Footage of the raid either exists or doesn t. The tale of that night in Abbottabad keeps getting more muddled.

Afghanistan and Iraq may very well descend into more severe internecine conflict after the complete withdrawal of U.S. forces, but America can no longer afford the blood and treasure required to fight pointless wars in perpetuity...

Fixing America begins with foreign policy

Campaign For Liberty
by Philip Giraldi

06/09/11

Many Americans are rightly appalled at what has happened over the past ten years. A culture of fear has taken hold nationwide and there are regular accounts of swat teams kicking in the wrong door in the middle of the night and killing a homeowner seeking to defend his family from unknown intruders. Neighbors have been encouraged by the government s Department of Homeland Security to look at those living next door to see if they might be terrorists...

War is necessary! US defense contractors 'raking in the dough'

America may be being dragged down by record debt and unemployment filtering throughout the economy - but there's one industry that s bucking the trend. It s a boom time for arms manufacturers right now, and they re branding themselves as saviours of the job market.

Eric Best, Truthout: 'The purported end of the world came and went, and, to the surprise of few, the rapture did not come to pass on May 21. The world is not, however, out of the woods if you read Peter Nolan s superb book, 'Crossroads: The End of Wild Capitalism and the Future of Humanity.' Nolan's thesis is that unrestrained capitalism, its extremes and its contradictions, have put China, the United States and the world of Islam on a collision course that gives the world 'the choice of no choice.' Either these three models of culture and capitalism will find constructive engagement, or the world as we know it is in extreme peril.'
