The U.S. military inflicts more damage on its own credibility
Factually dubious claims about the Strait of Hormuz incident are part of a larger, highly destructive pattern.

  • protest guantanamo -- wear orange

    today (friday) has been set aside as a day to protest our continued breach of international law in the gulag we call guantanamo bay. remember to wear orange to show your opposition to this symbol of everything that is wrong with our military behavior.

    also, if you can get a copy, read "five years of my life: an innocent man in guantanamo" (palgrave), an account by murnat kurnaz, a turkish-born german who was in pakistan in the months following 9/11 and picked up in the first sweeps by police, who sold him to the americans for $3,000. he was taken first to kandahar, and then to camp x-ray. anyone clinging to the fiction that what is done in our name at gitmo is legal, or done only to "the worst of the worst," needs to wake up. read this book. forward is by patti smith.
