What is camp 7? The AP has uncovered that: Somewhere amid the cactus-studded hills on this sprawling Navy base, separate from the cells where hundreds of men suspected of links to al-Qaida and the Taliban have been locked up for years, is a place even more closely guarded — a jailhouse so protected that its […]
From Matthew Yglesias: “There has not been another attack on our soil since 9/11” — anthrax! Anthrax! Oh well. For some reason that whole episode has been officially erased from the historical record or something. Bob also reminds us of another terrorist attack – the D.C. snipers. I guess that Rudy, 9/11 turrets syndrome is […]
It is time for a full criminal hearing into the Bush White House. Here is the latest revelation on the NSA wiretapping: A former Qwest Communications International executive, appealing a conviction for insider trading, has alleged that the government withdrew opportunities for contracts worth hundreds of millions of dollars after Qwest refused to participate in […]
Since my last post about the comment left at Maine Web Report calling for a terrorist attack at San Franciso, a lot has happened. I did similar posts atCrooks and Liars and Firedoglake. Markos also did a post on the comment. In walk Newsbusters. Now they are saying how wrong we are about it and that […]
As well as violating the rights of U.S. Citizens: The Bush administration is urging Congress to pass a law that would halt dozens of lawsuits charging phone companies with invading ordinary citizens’ privacy through a post-Sept. 11 warrantless surveillance program. The measure is part of a legislative package drafted by the Justice Department to relax […]
The right-wing meme about Iraq and Bush has always been “we haven’t been attacked since 9/11”. When you try to use the same for Clinton, saying before 9/11, we weren’t attacked since the first WTC bombing, they quickly point to bombings of our embassies and of the Cole. A few months ago, we saw our […]
This is a very sad “milestone” to reach: Now the death toll is 9/11 times two. U.S. military deaths from Iraq and Afghanistan now match those of the most devastating terrorist attack in America’s history, the trigger for what came next. Add casualties from chasing terrorists elsewhere in the world, and the total has passed […]
With all the talk of Path to 9/11 and how “Clinton did nothing to secure us, despite numerous attacks”, then perhaps the following is an omen: Syrian security forces killed four attackers Tuesday outside the U.S. Embassy in Damascus after a car exploded near the walls of the American compound, the Syrian Information Ministry said. […]
This deserves some serious questioning: If you falsely yell “Fire!” in a crowded theater and everyone tramples each other to death, you get sent to jail. So what should be done with Ann Coulter, who has argued that The New York Times should have been blown up by Timothy McVeigh and that Times executive editor […]
Well you can tell elections are getting closer when you hear of news like this: U.S. officials believe Canadian arrests over the weekend and three recent domestic incidents in the United States are evidence the U.S. will soon be hit again by a terrorist attack. Privately, they say, they’d be surprised if it didn’t come […]
