Lawsuit Filed Against Portland Police, mayor and city for Protest Brutality

The slogan 'No war for oil' rightly presumes that the Bush administration had plans for post-war profits from Iraq's substantial oil reserves. But those plans were based on the Bush cabal's relationships not with the major oil multinational corporations, but with smaller independent firms. Everybody has now done the maths on Iraqi oil and found that their sums don't add up. Analysis by Yahya Sadowski.

When the United States and Britain launched their "preventive war" on Iraq, in invading that country without a UN mandate and without the authorization of any other international body they were violating international law and behaving as aggressors. Faced with this crime against peace the world community finds itself in an unprecedented position. Ignacio Ramonet comments.

While international attention is on Iraq, Israel is taking the chance to expand army operations in the West Bank and Gaza, demolishing the structure and infrastructure, totally unconcerned about the deaths it causes. Benjamin Barthe reports.

His draconian contingency plan calls for $1 billion in cuts. Meanwhile, Israel’s Ariel Sharon is rolling in greenbacks. The U.S. Congress gave the Likudnik-dominated government $600 million in economic aid, $2.1 billion in military aid, plus $60 million for something called, “refugee resettlement.” Question: How much longer are the American people going to put up with this gross distortion of priorities that mocks our Republic?
