The best of us must now show "all conviction" to hold hearings to prosecute those who authorized torture.

Iranian officials insist they don't know anything about the disappearance or whereabouts of Levinson, a career FBI agent with a specialty in international crime.

I am generally not big on trips down memory lane, but there's a nice retrospective of the 60s I came across that was kind of fun. It seems like a long...

We have yet to hear a single realistic scenario from a top Republican that would outline how and when the country could move forward from its current meltdown.

Doesn't the best online journalism still depend on old media outlets? What happens when we lose all those print reporters, the ones who file history's first draft?

Filling in the gaps in the CIA leak case -- like why Bush administration officials exposed Valerie Plame Wilson's covert operative status -- may be as simple as entering "plame" in an email search.

With the news that Mark Felt, Watergate's "Deep Throat," has died at age 95, we can only assume that someone finally got to him and shut him up. As th...
Greg Mitchell | Posted 01.19.2009 | Politics
Journalists lionizing the former FBI official for his contribution in helping to bring down Nixon should not overlook the fact that Felt was one of the architects of the bureau's notorious COINTELPRO campaign.

The film's plot is a contrivance -- its telling is so riddled with departures from what actually happened as to be fundamentally dishonest; and its climactic moment is purely and simply a lie.

Langella: "Ron [Howard] was about as good as anyone I've ever worked with. He wants the film to be about human beings and wants it to be about the soul of people."

There has been virtually nothing on the Liddy-McCain relationship in the major newspapers and broadcast networks -- is Liddy any less a domestic terrorist than Bill Ayers?

No one expects Americans to riot or protest the war like my generation did. But we cannot let what the Bush Administration started continue into the next presidential administration.
