The oil conglomerates are today back in Iraq with the help of 140,000 American soldiers and $750 billion from the American taxpayer. But the Iraq war had nothing to do with oil, right?

What appalled me was that Rose allowed key problems regarding Americans' perceptions of the Iraq adventure to be omitted from the discussion altogether.

The Americans cannot win the "hearts and minds" of the Iraqi people or spread "liberty" and "freedom" as Bush always proclaims, by replicating Israeli occupation tactics in Iraq.

This was perhaps the most opaque, elaborately qualified, antiseptically cleansed and institutionally begged-off story ever published by a major newspaper anywhere.

Michael Gordon asserts that Hezbollah militants have been training Iraqi militia fighters at a camp near Tehran. But McClatchy has a quite different take.

In an almost nostalgic display of Michael Gordon/Judith Miller-style stenography we have been subjected to a feast of news stories, overwhelmingly bas...

If "think globally, act locally" ever made any sense, this is the time, and you, Barack Obama, are the prophet. If you want to be mainstream, look to the forgotten mainstream.
