I see what you're saying about how the data might be used, but I really like that they are just releasing everything. If anything, I was upset that they redacted the Iraq war diaries the way they did - I think it drastically reduced the value ...

Hi Justin! I agree with your point 1., with the caveat that our ability to take advantage of a more level playing field will be made difficult because the mainstream megaphone is simply larger – as is usually the case. Thi...

Hi Chris. My reaction to the latest leak isn't mixed at all. I agree it's too bad there's no mass movement, and I also agree that what the documents show is not a surprise to leftists. I see a few things that are valuable: 1. Details ...

Roslyn, you write that: "I think a key reason to avoid political debate based on "passion" and "emotion" is that it is practically a foregone conclusion that such a "debate" would then be won by those peddling t...

Thanks for that report. Serves to underscore the extent to which the corporate media has become complicit in the crimes.

I've followed Robert Fisk's writings for years. I have always had the utmost respect for him. He is that rarity - a mainstream journalist who writes from a principled postion. I have always considered him the definitive reporter on all mat...

I'd disagree with the initial part of this article concerning Jon Stewart. For one thing, branding oneself as for reason as opposed to for a specific ideology has the salutory effect of not immediately alienating half of one's target audie...

Thanks Joe, great idea! I'll follow your lead and do likewise. I think the most important thing for us to do re: this is get the word out on Kashmir. Let Arundhati's plight be a way to talk about what's going on in Kashmir, and let ...

There was a rally on the mall organized in part by the United National Antiwar Committee and others in the anti-war movement for all the reasons you described earlier in the month on October 2nd. http://www.onenationforpeace.org/

Like most, I like Jon Stewart and find him incredibly funny at times. But, one has to recognize that he's essentially a Democrat. Which means, he's going to be one of those that simple won't challenge the Democrats on issues whe...

Whenever the nation is invoked it's a con, a scam, a rip-off. Nations are built on a history of violence and exclusion, of cultural genocide and political dominance. We know the story all too well: the forgetting of atrocities, the&nbs...

I am very sad at what has transpired and hope that wisdom will prevail. I am reminded of something said by Carl Schurz, nineteenth-century German revolutionary, US reformer, ally of Abraham Lincoln, and one-time American secretary of the interior....

This political persecution reminds me of the demonization of Piedad Córdoba in Colombia. We need to show solidarity with Arundhati Roy at this difficult and dangerous time. Her role as a critical voice has been crucial in publicising the da...

Fascinating how the media spreads lies about Assnge's mental stability, and even the people who should be Assange's supporters assume that there might be some truth in it. And start making up lines how even disturbed people can be ri...

I like the article, but I think perhaps there's something wrong with the premise. At the time of Ellsberg, it wouldn't surprise me in the least that there were pro-war columnists attacking him for releasing the Pentagon Papers. In some wa...

"Well, you know, we're all against torture, but in a war situation, we have to take a different attitude." World War II was a 'war situation', so by this reasoning, everything the Nazis did was just fine and dandy. May...

Chomsky doesn't answer the last question (How do we bring about this democratic control? Do you have in mind community-based ownerships or community-supported media?) because he does not know the answer. I don't think anyone knows the answ...
