Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

The Progressive | There she was on The View on Monday, and Joy Behar, a good progressive, actually asked her a decent question on why she wasn’t pursuing impeachment.

Inspector questions Blackwater contracts

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

By Joseph Neff | A high-stakes dispute that flared Monday between Blackwater and the federal government boils down to a definition: Are the hundreds of Blackwater guards protecting diplomats in Iraq and Afghanistan employees or contractors?

Reversing mass imprisonment

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

Via Lancaster Unity With the infamous case of Sheppard and Whittle in the news it doesn't seem like anti-fascists have to dig very deep to find links to organised far right groups and violent threats and intimidation.
