Oh yeh, sorry Emily, I thought you might have noticed my earlier comment. I just thought my comment may have looked like I was enjoying making fun of them too much. Yeh, pretty bad, though.

England isn't the most stylish place, but some of the examples on that site are too over the top for us. Some of the comments made me laugh out loud.

Democracy Now! The War and Peace Report. Live audio available around 9am US Eastern time, if my memory serves me right, Monday to Friday; then video available to watch soon after.

Good looking edition today.

Dave Zirin, good writer on politics in sport, on the Olympics; new documentary about Afghanistan; report on the alleged use of sound weapons and wrongful arrests by Pittsburgh police during G20 summit.

One of those must read articles below (at the bottom of this post); from Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed. http://nafeez.blogspot.com/

He teaches International Relations at the School of Social Sciences and Cultural Studies, University of Sussex, Brighton, England. He has done excellent work on 9/11, 7/7 and the war on Iraq, etc.

Selected Praise:

"On the subject ‘How and Why America was Attacked on 11 September, 2001’, the best, most balanced report, thus far, is by Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed."
― Gore Vidal, The Observer

"A lucid and persuasive account of how our security mandarins talked themselves into believing we could make quiet, backroom deals with terrorists."
— Bryan Appleyard, Sunday Times

"Respected terror analyst Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed pulls apart the official narrative of 7/7, pointing out its gaps and contradictions… The authorities seem to be unable to answer many of the most basic questions about the 7/7 bombings ... it has taken a study by an academic outsider, Ahmed, to assess the extent of the bombers’ international terrorist connections.”
— Independent on Sunday

"Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed provides important material to support those survivors of the London bombings who are demanding a proper inquiry into the events of that day."
― Irish Post

“Nafeez Mosaddeq Ahmed, director of British think-tank the Institute for Policy Research and Development, has written furiously against the ‘fundamentally wrong’ official narrative in his book The War On Truth. He provides evidence to show the ways that western governments are currently manipulating Al Qaeda ‘for strategic aims’ in different parts of the world, thus compromising any notion of the war on terror.”
― The Big Issue

"Academically, objectively, this book is about as carefully laid out and sourced as one could want... This book is, in brief, everything the 9/11 Commission was not... Having been a part of the CIA when it was committing high crimes and misdemeanors in Central America... I find the author's argument that the US, the UK, and France, among others, have been actively using terrorists, nurturing terrorists, as part of a geopolitical and economic strategy, and that in their naivete, they nurtured a force they cannot control today, to be completely credible."
― Robert D. Steele, former CIA Case Officer and 20-year veteran Marine Corps infantry and intelligence officer; founder of US Army's Marine Corps Intelligence Center

“Nafeez Ahmed’s understanding of the post 9/11 power game, its lies, illusions and dangers, is no less than brilliant. Everyone should read this wise and powerfully illuminating book.”
― John Pilger, journalist and author of The New Rulers of the World

"I wish every American who still believes in the good intentions of our government would read this book. Drawing upon his impressive research into recent history, Nafeez Ahmed skilfully exposes the real motives behind the 'war on terrorism' and the invasions of Afghanistan and Iraq."
― Howard Zinn, Professor Emeritus of History, Boston University, author of A People's History of the United States

"Nafeez Ahmed demonstrates brilliantly that the war on freedom is inseparable from the war on truth."
― Vandana Shiva

From the article:

'Not only did Western intelligence services continue to foster Islamist extremist and terrorist groups connected to al-Qaeda after the Cold War; they continued to do so even after 9/11.'
