"An unconscious people, an indoctrinated people, a people fed only partisan information and opinion that confirm their own bias, a people made morbidly obese in mind and spirit by the junk food of propaganda, is less inclined to put up a fight, ask questions and be skeptical. That kind of orthodoxy can kill a democracy - or worse." - -Bill Moyers

U.S. Trying to "Kill Its Way Out" of Afghan War?
By David Martin
Air strikes in Afghanistan are up 50 per cent and now Defense Secretary Gates has ordered a second aircraft carrier, the USS Lincoln, into the fight. Two carriers operating off the coast of Pakistan means about 120 aircraft available for missions over Afghanistan. And that's not counting U.S. Air Force missions flown out of Bagram and Kandahar.

Foreclosure Moratorium Is Only Sane Response to Shocking Wall Street Mortgage Scams
By Dean Baker
If the Wall Street banks were like the rest of us, the policy response would be simple: follow the frigging law. If banks want to foreclose then they should have to present the court with the proper documents, end of story. Anyone who has ever bought a house or refinanced a mortgage knows the headaches involved.
