Superpower or Superdebtor?
Since the passage of the "Iraq Liberation Act" in 1998, the U.S. government has spent more than 40 million taxpayer dollars on the Iraqi National Congress and its leader Ahmed Chalabi. As we now know, Chalabi in turn fed the U.S. government lies about Iraqs...
How High Does the Abu Ghraib Scandal Go?
A classified Pentagon report, providing a series of legal arguments apparently intended to justify abuses and torture against detainees, appears to undermine public assurances by senior U.S. officials, including President George W. Bush, that the military would never...

Reaganism versus ‘Neo-Reaganism’
The death of Ronald Reagan will no doubt prompt panegyrics from all the most prominent bastions of neoconservative thought National Review, the Weekly Standard, Commentary, the Wall Street Journal editorial page, etc. ad nauseam. They will claim him for their...
