Charlie Wilson's War, a recently published book by George Crile, tells the story of "the largest covert operation in history," the US government's multi-billion (yes, billion with a 'b') dollar secret program to aid the Afghan mujahideen in the '80s. There is some...
Freedom Fighter, Terrorist, Whatever
Read this Ralph Peters op-ed on Bush getting cozy with the Turks. Judas drove a hard bargain compared to President Bush. At least the great betrayer got 30 pieces of silver. All Bush is going to get for delivering the Kurds unto their enemies will be 10,000 Turkish...
Nine Killed in Iraq Suicide Blast, Diplomat Murdered
Is this really news? Isn't a soldier painting a school or helping an old lady across the street somewhere in Iraq? Damned liberal media.
The American Spectator Responds
From Jeremy Lott: No one has been purged. Bovard hasn't written many articles for the Prowler version of the website, but what he has written appears to have gone missing in the search engine. These things happen; I'll look into it and fix it. On a related note: I...

If you haven't read my "Looking Behind Ha'aretz's Liberal Image", you may expect Israel's "liberal newspaper" to stand up clear and loud against the recent Israeli aggressive escalation, in which Sharon, breaching a cease-fire that had lasted for some 20 years, sent...
One Hell of an Investigation
From Reuters: The White House on Tuesday ruled out three top aides as the source of a news leak identifying an undercover CIA officer whose husband was critical of Bush administration Iraq policy. White House spokesman Scott McClellan said he had talked to each of the...
The Unraveling GOP
If you're a Bush-supporter, that steady sucking sound you hear might be defecting libertarians. This article from The American Prospect should give Bushies the fear. It's gonna be hard to win the next election with an even smaller second-place showing than they...
