Israel vs Hamas - Collective punishment
Following the recent 'incursion' from Gaza resulting in the murder & kidnap of Israeli soldiers, the Israeli government have responded in the usual heavy handed manner with their own 'incursion' targeting power stations, bridges and arresting several elected members of the Palestinian authority. Collective punishment? Terrorist state? What would have been a better response?

Iraq...
Iraq, the collapse of Human Rights in Europe and the USA, 200,000 dead and dying in Iraq... can anyone still imagine that this Invasion, or the next one were really about anything but the right to kill ? Surely nobody still thinks that invading Iraq and deposing Saddam was the lessor of the evils ?

CIA shake-up: sex, money, scandal, and, oh, a quiet military coup?
Scandal in the CIA, multiple resignations, Bush appoints a man involved with the domestic spying scandal, a 4-star General in the Air Force (who refuses to retire from the military), and whom some believe is meant to pave the way for the complete militarization of the US intelligence community. For starters.
