06-21-07 - Is WP's Cohen Dumbest Columnist?

Sounds to me to be a part of the Israel lobby that includes neocons such as Libby.

The WP is on the wrong side of justice.

06-21-07 - Nihilism and Neoconservatism With the presidential primaries of both parties effectively rigged against the possibility of a credible antiwar candidate arising to wrest the nomination from the pro-war front-runners, and the War Party's propaganda machine revving up its motors for another go, this time at Iran, we are in for a very explosive next couple of years. The reason is because the political system lacks any effective safety valves: there is no way for ordinary people to have any real impact, and therefore the special interests ? and the War Party is just a collection of very special ideological and corporate interests ? have taken over.
