A new book, The Human Factor by “Ishmael Jones” claims to be an insiders story of the CIA who details its many dysfunctions. The first warning sign that this book is a joke is the fact that it is endorsed by neocon columnist, Max Boot. Boot, who has never worked with the CIA [...]

Steve Clemons is one of the classiest and most fair-minded people I know. He makes every effort to always give people the benefit of the doubt. He demonstrates in every action and in all of his writings the “Golden Rule.”

Karl Rove is one jolly fat man. With George Carlin well on his way to being worm food, looks like Karl is angling to become America’s new funny man. I refer of course to Karl’s outrage that the “NY Times outed a CIA officer.” Appearing on Bill O’Reilly’s show yesterday, Rove and [...]

What we’re looking at here is one of the most [...]

Just a little pot/kettle fun: If Harold Ford hadn’t gotten so desperate and gone nauseatingly phony, rightwing, and over-the-top come-to-Jesus at the end of his Senate campaign, Tennessee wouldn’t have that intellectual giant Bob Corker as its new junior senator. However, even Sen. Corker sees the problem in the White House: About [...]

George Kenney has some strong opinions on torture — and the dirth of discussion in the MSM:
[I]t seems to me that it’s newsworthy when a person in that position [Manfred Nowak, the United Nations Special Rapporteur on Torture] says (1) waterboarding is unequivocally torture and (2) that U.S. officials must be held to account by [...]
