________________________________ <http://www.therandirhodesshow.com/live/files/images/media_today.gif> It's Friday, ya bastards!
Senate Repugs, for all their tough talk, decide not to endorse torture, but won't prevent it either <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/09/21/AR200609210 1647.html> . Bush's pet spook <http://blogs.abcnews.com/theblotter/2006/09/cia_praises_dea.html> Michael "4th Amendment <http://www.fair.org/index.php?page=2808> " Hayden is thrilled. And Chimpy is already wiggling out <http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/22/opinion/22fri1.html> of one of his biggest "compromises". Note that this is not a done deal <http://www.cnn.com/2006/POLITICS/09/21/terror.bill/index.html> .what they did yesterday was simply end the "public" feud so they do the rest behind the scenes. Speaking of torture, in Iraq it looks like it's worse now <http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060921/ap_on_re_mi_ea/un_iraq_torture> than it ever was under Saddam. Gee.let's see if Bush feels he still has the moral authority to speak out about it. Grrrr! The CIA's top guy on political Islam <http://www.harpers.org/sb-six-questions-emile-nakhleh-1158706094.html> retired after 15 years in June and is now speaking out on Iraq's civil war and how we are making it worse, our pissed away good will, and why we need to talk to Iran. A few choice excerpts <http://thinkprogress.org/2006/09/21/cia-iraq-interview/> More War on Terror smoke and mirrors. Our great ally Pakistan says it only came on board in 2001 because we threatened <http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060921/pl_afp/usattackspakistan_060921194310> to bomb it back to the stone age. And we're surprised when they don't cooperate. When asked about this very serious matter today, Bush claimed he never heard of it until today and Pakistan President Musharraf actually said he couldn't talk about it until his book comes out (video <http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/video/2006/09/22/VI20060922005 56.html> ). WTF?! Meanwhile, Bush's National Guard backdoor draft <http://www.nytimes.com/2006/09/22/world/22army.html> may be the only option left for a strained, drained Army that is only getting more bogged down in Iraq's civil war and a crumbling Afghanistan. And Bill O'Reilly <http://mediamatters.org/items/200609210009> lies about being on al Qaeda death lists. This guy truly is certifiable. These stories and much more on today's Randi Rhodes Show. _______________________________________________ Marxism-Thaxis mailing list [email protected] To change your options or unsubscribe go to: http://lists.econ.utah.edu/mailman/listinfo/marxism-thaxis
