be saddled and ridden according to their wishes.

"In
the First Amendment, the Founding Fathers gave the free press the
protection it must have to fulfill its essential role in our democracy.
The press was to serve the governed, not the governors.
The
Government's power to censor the press was abolished so that the press
would remain forever free to censure the Government.
The press was protected so that it could bare the secrets of government and inform the people.
Only
a free and unrestrained press can effectively expose deception in
government. And paramount among the responsibilities of a free press is
the duty to prevent any part of the government from deceiving the
people and sending them off to distant lands to die of foreign fevers
and foreign shot and shell."
- U.S. Supreme Court Justice Hugo Black on U.S. 713 New York Times Co. v.. United States

Afghanistan: Wheels Within Wheels?
By Gwynne Dyer
The
simplistic mythology about al-Qaeda's motives that was disseminated by
the Bush administration - "they are Islamic crazies who attack us
because they hate our values" - has taken such deep root in the American
population that Obama cannot argue with it in public.

Cover-ups, Coups, and Drones
A Holiday Sampler of What Wikileaks Reveals about the US
By Bill Quigley
The
US claims broad authority to secretly snoop on the lives of
individuals inside and outside of the US. It also works tirelessly to
prevent citizens from knowing what is going on by expansively naming
basic government information "state secrets." The government says it
has to have the right to keep things secret in order to prevent crime.

A Typical Day for PFC Bradley Manning
By David E. Coombs
PFC
Manning is held in his cell for approximately 23 hours a day. The
guards are required to check on PFC Manning every five minutes by asking
him if he is okay. At night, if the guards cannot see PFC Manning
clearly, because he has a blanket over his head or is curled up towards
the wall, they will wake him in order to ensure he is okay.

The Delusions of the Peace Process
By Richard Falk
In
effect, a habitual armed robber was being asked to stop robbing a few
banks for three months in exchange for a huge financial payoff. Such an
arrangement qualifies as a transparently shameless embrace of Israeli
lawlessness on behalf of a peace process that has no prospect of
producing peace, much less justice.
