Wall Street Journal Launches Special Tel Aviv Operation

The WSJ defends Israel's deadly apartheid politics, but then what would you expect?

(SALEM, Ore.) - Who should be surprised that the media group named for the biggest curse in America is decidedly pro-Israeli?

Why would anyone fall over in shock that the WSJ laments the role of the killer while demonizing those who simply seek world peace?

Afghanistan: Is the Mineral Deposit Saga a Reality or a Myth?

Time is the essence for either success or failure in Afghanistan. Unfortunately, so far, the momentum is on the path of failure.

(SEATTLE) - It is obvious that there is no military solution to the struggle in Afghanistan and therefore a political one could be on the horizon.

That too proved to be a failing, when the Taliban, supposedly partaking in the recent consultative Loya-Jirgah gathering in an effort to reconcile in Kabul, instead they answered with their barrage of fire attacks and consequently disrupted the council.

How to Win a War When Losing? Dialogue with Taliban...

Let’s get to the heart of the problem. Let’s get rid of band aids and seek a cure.

(DUBAI) - No, dialogue is NOT a solution!

It is merely another, quite common, much overused, abused, and never quite successful method of attempting, or pretending to attempt, to find or describe a solution; and it is usually compromised by bad faith on the part of one, two or all parties.

They`re Coming: Freedom Flotilla Two and Others Planned

Turkey also promised to send aid, this time with a naval escort.

(CHICAGO) - The European Campaign to End the Siege on Gaza (ECESG) is "an umbrella body" of 34 European human rights and humanitarian organizations supporting the right of Palestinians "to live in peace and dignity," to be free from occupation, and to have "their own independent and sovereign state."

It also encourages all peoples of conscience and human rights advocates to intensify their efforts to highlight this life-threatening issue and end the catastrophe.

Amnesty International Regarding Mordechai Vanunu

Amnesty International has called for his immediate and unconditional release.

(CLERMONT, Fla.) - In a 18 June 2010 report Amnesty International accused the Israeli authorities of subjecting jailed nuclear whistleblower Mordechai Vanunu to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment by holding him in solitary confinement.

The 56-year-old, who spent 18 years in prison for revealing details of the country's nuclear arsenal to a UK newspaper in 1986, was sent back to jail for three months on 23 May on charges of contact with a foreign national, and almost immediately placed in solitary confinement.

A Colorado Ex-Con`s Quest to Kill bin Laden

I am glad that Gary Brooks Faulkner is alive, he will likely be able to get a book deal now, etc. He's a smart guy in his own way, but I have a very hard time taking it seriously.

(SALEM, Ore.) - The media loves a hero, and sometimes they do all they can to create the image of the consciousness of the American television viewing public.

As most people know by now, an American citizen was detained by Pakistani authorities while reportedly on a solo mission to kill Usama bin Laden. The media is whooping it up, and helping the guy get kidney dialysis treatment. Huh?

By Many Names, Still the Same Egret

Ardea ibis Linnaeus, 1758, Ardeola ibis, Bubulcus bubulcus, Buphus coromandus, Cancroma coromanda, Egretta ibis (Linnaeus, 1758) & Lepterodatis ibis (Linnaeus, 1758)

(PATAGONIA, Argentina) - The Ardeola ibis is actually a type of heron, but unlike most herons, it can be found away from water.

Commonly called the cattle egret, it is familiar from wildlife documentaries hitching a ride, and a lunch, on the back of a rhinoceros. Since a mere 150 years ago, it has expanded widely from its original range, and is now familiar to most of us.

PTSD & Alcoholism in a Real American WWII War Hero
Arthur `Dutch` Schultz, 82nd Airborne 505 PIR

The life challenges of a soldier.

(PHILADELPHIA) - "HUT - TWO - three - four. Hut - two - three - four." The cadence of my childhood.

Echoing footsteps on the wooden floors. Memories of a spindly, pale child with purplish under-eye circles marching behind her athletic, paratrooper dad. Up and down the narrow Philadelphia rowhouse steps, past the shoebox-sized bedrooms, the stark no-sink bathroom, and the musty coal bin, the 6-year-old girl's mission was to not give up - just like Dad.
