Cindy Sheehan | Address to Veterans For Peace Convention http://www.truthout.org/cindy.shtml But do you think George Bush will interrupt his vacation and go visit the families of those 20 marines who have died in Ohio this week, asks Cindy Sheehan? Sheehan says the answer is No ... he doesn't care, he doesn't have a heart. That's not enough to stop his little "playing cowboy" game in Crawford for 5 weeks.
Norman Solomon | Rage Against the Killing of the Light http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/081005B.shtml Norman Solomon says that what's going on this week, outside the perimeter of the ranch-style White House in Crawford, is some reclamation of reality in public life. Cindy Sheehan has disrupted the media-scripted shadow play of falsity. And some other relatives of the ultimately sacrificed have been en route to the vigil in the dry hot Texas ditches now being subjected to enormous media attention a few miles from the vacationing president's accommodations.
Venezuela Warns Against US Invasion http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/081005D.shtml Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez said the US government, which "won't stop caressing the idea of invading Cuba or invading Venezuela," should be warned of the consequences.
Peter W. Galbraith | Iraq: Bush's Islamic Republic http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/081005F.shtml There is, in fact, no Iraqi insurgency. There is a Sunni Arab insurgency. And it cannot win. Neither the al-Qaeda terrorists nor the former Baathists can win.
William Rivers Pitt | Bush Is No Nixon http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/081005I.shtml No mother who lost her son to this Iraq war should be made to stand in a ditch, writes TO contributor William Rivers Pitt. And yet that is exactly where Cindy Sheehan stands today, by the side of the road in Crawford, Texas.
9/11 Panel: 'Did Pentagon Withhold Hijacker Files?' http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/081005J.shtml "I think this is a big deal," said John F. Lehman, a Republican member of the commission. "The issue is whether there was in fact surveillance before 9/11 of Atta and, if so, why weren't we told about it? Who made the decision not to brief the commission's staff or the commissioners?"
Shiite Rebels Oust Baghdad Mayor http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/081005K.shtml "This is the new Iraq," said Mr. Tamimi, the deposed mayor. "They use force to achieve their goal."
Anger over Plan for Secret Courts in Britain http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/081005L.shtml The thought of secret hearings in which the accused would not hear the cases against them filled her with dread, said the director of Liberty.
Michael Schwartz | The Bush Administration's Iranian Nightmare http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/081005M.shtml It seems unimaginable that the world would be forced to endure the horror of nuclear war in a regional dispute, writes Professor Michael Schwartz. However, the record of Bush administration belligerence makes it difficult to imagine America's top leadership giving up the ambition of toppling the Islamic regime in Iran.
An Anti-War Film That Refuses to Be Banned http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/081005N.shtml Like a live hand grenade brought home from a distant battlefield, the 34-year-old antiwar documentary "Winter Soldier" has been handled for decades as if it could explode at any moment.
Maureen Dowd | Why No Tea and Sympathy? http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/081005O.shtml W. can't get no satisfaction on Iraq, writes New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd. There's an angry mother of a dead soldier camping outside his Crawford ranch, demanding to see a president who prefers his sympathy to be carefully choreographed.
NOW | Filmmaker Alex Gibney: Could Enron Happen Again? http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/081005P.shtml When The New York Times reviewed filmmaker Alex Gibney's latest documentary Enron: The Smartest Guys In The Room, it called the film: "a fascinating chronicle of arrogance and greed."
