The New York Times ran a four page spread Wednesday of every American servicemember killed in Afghanistan. I saw it at the gym on TV in the morning, and with the demands of the day promptly forgot about it.

But there it was laid out at the corner bodega on my way home from dinner, and the shop owner just let me take it.

Titled The Roster of the Dead, the four page section contains the faces, ages, and hometowns of more than 2,000 dead American troops.

It’s horrific, and while I took pictures of the four sheets of newsprint and posted them below, it’s impossible to convey what they mean.

I spent two years at Walter Reed Army Medical Center (WRAMC) before The Washington Post finally had to report on what was happening there via Dana Priest in 2007.

Walter Reed was where soldiers got sent…

I am excited to say that I have safely arrived in Berlin and am slowly acclimating to my new surroundings.  It is an extremely vibrant city and I am very happy to be here. Previous to my arrival, my concerts in Washington DC were extremely successful due to the phenomenal collaborations with topnotch musicians, Fred Marcellus Adela Peeva, and Sophia Seungshin Yoo. The first event was graciously hosted by Patricia Lanas and Miguel Rivera Lanas, a cherished student of mine.  It was a performance of arias and songs. The other two concerts, which were soprano and trumpet duets as well as arias,  were held at the Institute for Spiritual Development and The Palisades Community Church in Washington DC. Thank you to all of my generous friends and supporters who attended. It was a community effort to make these successful and I am humbled to have so much love in my life. 

I am grateful to be…

Think seriously about the issues broached in this video .. it may very well happen in our future. When I was a kid in the 1930s and 1940s, we lived on a farm. My dad farmed 40 acres with a team of horses and a plow (as shown in this video). We harvested these same acres of corn by picking and shucking ears by hand and tossing them into a wagon powered by the same team of horses. Very few MEN today could physically do this work.

`Our house had no electricity or running water; we had no telephone or television. We butchered our own meat and poultry, hunted for wild game, kept a cow for milk, butter and cottage cheese, grew and canned all our home-grown fruit and vegetables (no chemical pesticides or fertilizers allowed), and cut cords of wood for the pot-belly stove…

I spent a day of my life at the 2012 Republican Convention. The plan was to stay for full four days, but the choreographed and staged “decision-making” made the 2,000 plus delegates irrelevant. Republican Party members hoping to see democracy in action were left staring at a fuzzy gray screen, listening to static, beating their heads against padded white walls. No free man would subject himself to such idiocy. As Doug Wead so delightfully put it, the party has been reduced to “ten fat men sitting in a room.”

One of these fat men is John Sununu. Watching him on Tuesday afternoon steamroll the wishes of half of the delegate floor, and destroy what was left of the integrity of the GOP, I was strongly reminded of Nurse Ratched running the floor at the Salem State Hospital. In One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, Ratched dominates…

Washington – One of the US diplomatic cables in the latest batch released by Wikileaks offers evidence of US troops executing at least 10 Iraqi civilians in one incident, including women and children who were handcuffed and shot in the head.

In a communication to US officials dated less than two weeks after the March 15, 2006 nighttime raid, Philip Alston, the UN’s special rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, said autopsies performed on the dead civilians showed all were handcuffed and shot in the head.

Among the dead were five children, all five years old or younger, and four women. In an email to McClatchy Newspapers on Wednesday, Alston noted both the US and Iraqi governments had not been forthcoming in his request for information, as “was the case with most of the letters to the U.S. in the 2006-2007 period,” a time…

In the video below, Jackie Gloor, who worked as Ron Paul’s Texas coordinator and went to Tampa as a delegate last week, explains how she was set-up to be busted by the TSA. Gloor said her motel room was entered while she was away and bullets placed in her luggage. The bullets were later found by the TSA during a search at the airport. Gloor said she would have been arrested and probably charged with a felony if she had not mentioned that she works for Rep. Ron Paul.

There is no direct evidence the bullets were planted by Republican Party operatives, but considering the dirty tricks of the past – Karl Rove specialized in dirty tricks to sabotage the opposition – it is entirely legitimate to speculate that this was another nasty attack by the establishment to destroy any and all credible…

U.S. courts will soon decide whether Americans can have the expectation of privacy over their DNA, reports Kate Moser at the Recorder.

Michael Risher of the ACLU of Northern California is challenging a California law that requires all felony arrestees to give a DNA sample.

He argues that Americans “don’t want the government to have all that information about us.” The government doesn’t have the right to demand our genetic material – including the wealth of personal information it holds – even if it promises to use it only for law enforcement, Risher claims.

Hanni Fakhoury, a lawyer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation who filed a friend of the court brief in the case, says he’s concerned about “some of the problems of large-scale data gathering not based on any individualized suspicion that someone is engaged in criminal activities.”

That concern is already playing out in terms of…

“We filed a complaint with the SA Police Service yesterday and a ‘crimes against the state’ docket was opened,” Muhammed Vawda, secretary of Spoc, said today.

“A case number was issued and it will go to the National Director of Public Prosecutions for a decision.”

Blair and former US president George W Bush were found guilty in absentia of crimes against humanity by the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Tribunal in November last year.

They were also found guilty of genocide for their roles in the Iraq War.The tribunal was presided over by five judges.

The court acknowledged that the verdict was non-enforceable, but the findings were reported to the International Criminal Court in The Hague.

The Daily Maverick reported that the official UK government inquiry into the Iraq War, the Chilcot Inquiry, is only set to release a report late into 2013, which will run more than 1-million…
