Pro-war progressives, like like Christopher Hitchens, Paul Berman, and Greil Marcus seek to claim the mantle of the anti-Stalinist Left during the Cold War. Salim Muwakkil argues that the analogy does not work.

Was the United States war on Iraq necessary? Not according to United Nations monitors--or to U.S. intelligence agencies, which has watched the situation even more carefully. John Prados reports.

Update on the case of Sherman Austin. Austin is the young anarchist who managed www.raisethefist.com and who was arrested by the FBI after the February 2002 protests against the World Economic Forum under provisions of the USA Patriot Act.

Last year, between his endless playing of slot machines, William Bennett found time to write a puff piece that appeared in the Jerusalem Post, on May 7, 2002. It was entitled, “Why I stand with Israel.” His pro-Zionist spiel was so bad, it could have been ghost-written by Benjamin Netanyahu.You would think, too, that after Israeli operatives took the lives of American activist Rachel Corrie, and British documentary maker, James Miller, in such a cavalier fashion, that Bennett would have recanted his fulsome tribute to Israel. Questions: Now, that Bennett has fallen off his moral pedestal and landed on his own slots-filled petard, will Israel stand by him? Or, will it get out one of its bulldozers and shove this boring merchant of Zionist propaganda onto the garbage heap of history?
