Act now on Agent Orange

So far, we have failed, and we have to admit it, but we have a unique chance to make a statement now.

(LONDON) - When I land at the airport in Ho Chi Minh City on July 29, I know I will be met by friends who have suffered a great wrong.

They are the victims who have fought an ongoing battle against one of the world’s most egregious crimes: the dumping of 80 million litters of toxic defoliants over southern Vietnam.

Vietnam Ain`t Over

No Matter How Hard We Try To Forget

(CINCINNATI ) - Forty-two years ago I was in South Vietnam, serving as a Marine infantryman. What does this mean?

To me, I am still the same. I am just as stupid, certainly, and am willing to delude myself into believing I could do now, what I could do then.

Lifta: Palestine`s Last Village Faces Bulldozers; Lifta to be razed for new Jewish-only holiday homes

A song for Lifta.

(LONDON) - I think of Lifta... I smile.... like a flower
Lifta… The healing touch of my grandmother
The aroma of her bread, baked with tenderness and love

Lifta...The hand of my mother against my face
Her gentle fingers running through my curls
Lifta…The smile of "Amal" my childhood friend

Misery and frustration going through Qalandia checkpoint

The Qalandia you see today might seem different or more comfortable than that which was over 6 years ago, but the humiliation and suffering went nowhere, only increased.

(RAMALLAH) - Qalandia may refer to a refugee camp, a village, an airport, or an illegal Israeli crossing. All lie in the same area on the main road which connects Jerusalem to the West Bank city of Ramallah.

I am going to discuss in this article how I and hundreds of thousands of Palestinians feel like crossing the Qalandia Israeli checkpoint at least once daily.

American `Preacher of Hate` to Tour UK

John Hagee, Martin Luther King, Jr: Birmingham Alabama & the UK.

(CLERMONT, Fla.) - Hagee and his ‘disciples’ should begin at the very end of the book of Revelation which:

“warns everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: If anyone adds anything to them. God will add to him the plagues described in this book. And if anyone takes words away from this book of prophecy, God will take away from him his share in the tree of life.”-Rev. 22:18-19

Partnering with Miss Canada Tara Teng to Ignite the `Road to Justice` Tour

LA Times Blazes Cartel Trail - Turns up Dirt on U.S. Informant Connections

An ugly story that becomes more grim by the day.

(LOS ANGELES) - A new LA Times Blog article questions whether high-profile suspects in Mexican drug cartels are doubling as paid informants for U.S. federal investigators.

ATF`s Fast and Furious Seems Colored With Shades of Iran/Contra Scandal

Congressional Inquiry Raising Specter of Spooks in the Soup.

(COLUMBUS, N.M. The Narcosphere) - The acting head of ATF has seemingly blown the cover of both DEA and FBI informant operations in order to spare his own neck and to deflect blame away from a badly flawed operation undertaken by his own agency.

Brian Terry (In Memorial) Border Patrol Agent

Federal agents are not part of the suspected ring; in fact it was an ATF agent who blew the whistle on the 'Fast and Furious' gunrunning operation to Mexican cartels in the first place.

(CLEVELAND) - The family of murdered Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry says they may seek justice by suing the federal government.

Terry family attorney Paul Charlton explains in a current FOX News article that Brian was killed in December 2010 at the hands of an illegal immigrant working for the Sinaloa Cartel while patrolling an area near Tucson known as Rio Rico.

Starving Gaza is not cricket

Neither is stopping the aid flotilla sailing.

(LONDON) - Setting sail with the Gaza Flotilla is no Sunday afternoon game of cricket. You're suddenly in the blockade busting business and if you succeed in getting through you'll put a lot of noses out of joint and symbolically squidge the evil ambitions of racist-supremacists like Netanyahu, Barak, Lieberman and Peres.

You’re interfering in their economic terror war to crush Hamas. And the Israelis don’t take kindly to anyone spoiling their sick fun.
