CommonDreams.org October 23, 2007 by Mired in the disastrous Iraq quagmire, opposed by a majority of Americans, George W. Bush has reached new depths of reckless, belligerent bellowing. At a recent news conference, he volunteered that he told our allies that if they’re “interested in avoiding World War III,” Iran must be prevented from both developing a nuclear weapon or having “the knowledge necessary to make a nuclear weapon.” Photo : Joëlle Pénochet (2004) To what level of political […]
Contre Info Le président Bush a signé en mai dernier une ordonnance attribuant à l’exécutif des pouvoirs exceptionnels en cas de troubles majeurs, à côté de laquelle notre sulfureux article 16 de la Constitution semble bien anodin. Ron Rosenbaum a analysé pour Salon la Directive 51 et estime qu’elle justifie les pires craintes pour la démocratie américaine en cas de nouvel attentat terroriste sur le sol des USA. La Directive Présidentielle sur la Sécurité Nationale 51 ou NSPD 51, signée par […]
Inconvenient Corrections (Counterpunch) Al Gore's Wacky Facts By ROBERT BRYCE Facts don't matter. Only spin matters. That's the main conclusion to be drawn from the fact that Al Gore was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize last week. My complaint has nothing to do with the science of global warming or whether or not the current warming of the planet is due solely to manmade causes. Rather, it's this: Gore won the prize even though his documentary, An Inconvenient Truth, concludes with one of the […]
Nobel Hypocrisy Peace Prize Awards to War Criminals By Stephen Lendman Global Research, October 18, 2007 Alfred Nobel was a wealthy nineteenth century Swedish-born chemist, engineer, inventor of dynamite, armaments manufacturer and war profiteer who remade his image late in life by establishing the awarding of prizes in his name that includes the one for peace. This most noted award was inspired by his one-time secretary and peace activist, Bertha von Suttner, who was nominated four times […]
consortiumnews.com September 26, 2007 (Text of a speech delivered September 20, 2007) Editor’s Note: Daniel Ellsberg, the former Defense Department analyst who leaked the secret Pentagon Papers history of the Vietnam War, offered insights into the looming war with Iran and the loss of liberty in the United States at an American University symposium on Sept. 20. Below is an edited transcript of Ellsberg’s remarkable speech: I think nothing has higher priority than averting an attack on Iran, […]
Contrinfo Discours prononcé à l’American University le 20 septembre 2007 Je pense qu’il n’y a pas de priorité plus urgente que de prévenir une attaque contre l’Iran qui s’accompagnerait, je le crois, d’un nouveau changement dans l’exercice du pouvoir aux USA ayant pour effet de nous conduire vers ce que j’appellerai un état policier. S’il se produit un nouveau 11 septembre sous ce gouvernement, cela signifiera qu’ils utiliseront à plein l’appareil policier qui a été patiemment construit, […]

CounterPunch Weekend Edition October 13 / 14, 2007 It's As Ridiculous As If They'd Given Goebbels One in 1938 Al Gore's Peace Prize By ALEXANDER COCKBURN Put this one up on the shelf of shame, right next to Henry Kissinger's, or the peace prize they gave to Kofi Annan and the entire UN in 2001, sandwiched between the UN's okay for the bombing of Serbia, the killing of untold numbers of Iraqis, many of them babies and children in the years of sanctions, and its greenlight for the bombing of […]
Friday, October 12, 2007 By Gabriele Zamparini Bill Clinton's former vice president Al Gore has won (together with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) the Nobel Peace Prize "for their efforts to build up and disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change, and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change" Source: laspecula.com This Nobel Prize will hopefully help to focus time and resources into the battle against Climate Change.

Sunday, October 14, 2007 It’s insanity, stupid! Al Gore and that Nobel Peace Prize By Gabriele Zamparini The Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore opened a heated debate: was it right to award a mass murderer and war criminal? This is a curious question that certainly would have a meaning in a sane world, certainly not in ours. A few days ago, commenting on this blog about this ordinary episode of folly, I wrote that Al Gore was “(…) a top war criminal that in a sane world would be hanged or […]
Published on Sunday, October 14, 2007 by The San Francisco Chronicle Clinton, Looking Forward To General Election, Votes Like A Hawk by Helene Cooper Sens. Joseph Biden and Chris Dodd voted against it. Sen. Barack Obama said he would have voted against it if he had voted. Former Sen. John Edwards implied he would have voted against it if he could have voted. And Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton? She voted in favor of the measure in question, which asked the Bush administration to declare Iran’s […]
October 11, 2007 Ask Latin America, First Bill Clinton as Ambassador to the World? By AL GIORDANO http://www.counterpunch.org/ On a recent trip to the island of his Oxford alma mater, Bill Clinton didn't say what color the would-be First Laddie would choose for the White House drapes, but he did tell the BBC what job he'd like Senator Hillary Clinton to give him if she wins the White House: "I'd be of most use to her doing something to try to help restore America's standing in the world and […]
Alternative Insight The public, and probably those in national power, have become distrustful of the Neoconservatives. Characterized as former liberals turned conservative, the Neocons have diminished their credibility by sponsoring an ill-conceived and disastrous Iraq war that expanded terrorism, caused a loss of American lives and invited a decline in U.S. prestige. Neocons survive by not being directly allied to a particular political party and not being responsive to the demands of the […]
Commondreams Published on Wednesday, October 10, 2007 by The Independent/UK by Leonard Doyle Photo: rue89.com Al Gore never quite closed the door on running for president again and his many loyalists are now pinning their hopes on Norway’s Nobel committee, in the belief that the prize must be his, this year of all years. The Nobel Prize will be announced on Friday in Oslo and for many, Mr Gore is head and shoulders above the other 181 candidates. The Nobel committee also has a reputation […]
