Editorial

Republicans
are driving a very bad bargain: "we
are in the process of destroying a great many
things which are real
— soil, water, energy, resources, other species, our health — for
the sake of something that exists chiefly in our imagination: money."

An interview
with Paul Krugman
Al Gore's speech, January 16,
2006, was only very lightly mentioned in the press. Considering that we
are facing a Constitutional crisis, an assault of our civil liberties,
crimes against the environment, an executive who thinks he is above the
law, worsening international relations, an unsustainable deficit, a
growing health care crisis, a gratuitous war, corporate corruption and
what appears to be a cloud of fascism
settling over the US, the press has failed to pay attention to these
important issues. See any of topics listed above for more details.
William Rivers Pitt is a
New York Times and internationally bestselling author of two books: "War on Iraq: What Team Bush Doesn't Want You to Know"
and "The Greatest Sedition Is Silence." His newest
book, "House of Ill Repute: Reflections on War, Lies, and
America's Ravaged Reputation," is now available from
PoliPointPress.
This Nobel
Prize winning speech was not mentioned much in the US press either.
What should change ? This is the answer.
