"America's
journalists are not "newshounds." They are nothing more than
salesclerks, hocking the products their employers want to sell. The
pretty faces that now function as most television news anchors are no
different than the pretty models used to sell other products. The
American "free" press is comprised of nothing more than a number of
retail outlets which sell stories slanted to please their target
audiences. As such, they exist merely to sell snake oil". - John Kozy

'I Wake Up Screaming': A Gitmo Nightmare
By Carol Grisanti and Fakhar ur Rehman
Saad
Iqbal Madni looks decades older than his 33 years when he shuffles
into the room, head down and eyes averted. "There are a lot of times I
start to cry. I still feel like I am in Guantanamo," he says, his voice
cracking and hands trembling. "I have memorized the torture. I wake up
in the middle of the night screaming."

Torture Inc. Americas Brutal Prisons
Video Documentary By Channel 4
They
are just some of the victims of wholesale torture taking place inside
the U.S. prison system that we uncovered during a four-month
investigation for Channel 4 . It's terrible to watch some of the videos
and realise that you're not only seeing torture in action but, in the
most extreme cases, you are witnessing young men dying.

Capitalism and the Duplicitous Meanings of Democracy
By Charles Sullivan
Despite
the prevalent belief that the meaning of democracy is universally
understood, it remains an elusive idea that is not easily implemented.
As a political philosophy, democracy is more closely associated with
the socialist governments of Latin America, with Venezuela and Bolivia,
than with the United States.
