By David Bromwich
On July 16, in a speech to the Economic Club of Chicago, Secretary of Defense Robert Gates said that the &#8220;central question&#8221; for the defense of the United States was how the military should be &#8220;organized, equipped &#8211; and funded &#8211; in the years ahead, to win the wars we [...]]]></description>

By Reese Erlich
 Walter Cronkite, who  died Friday, may be best known for his 1968 CBS commentaries declaring that the United States could not win the Vietnam War. Less known is that he had been a strong supporter of the war before then.
Cronkite was the consummate mainstream journalist. His thoroughness as a reporter [...]]]></description>

The U.S. Empire of Bases &#8212; at $102 billion a year already the world&#8217;s costliest military enterprise &#8212; just got a good deal more expensive. As a start, on May 27th, we learned that the State Department will build a new &#8220;embassy&#8221; in Islamabad, Pakistan, which at $736 million will be [...]]]></description>

Did they play  Barack Obama’s speech to the Muslim world in the prison corridors of Abu Ghraib, Bagram air base, Guantanamo or the dozens of secret sites where we hold thousands of Muslims around the world? Did it echo off the walls of the crowded morgues filled with the mutilated bodies [...]]]></description>

By Glenn Greewald
In a February, 2004 interview with Tim Russert, George Bush provoked much derision by proudly declaring himself to be what he called a  &#8220;war president.&#8221;  This week, Newsweek&#8217;s Editor Jon Meacham interviewed Barack Obama, adopted Bush&#8217;s label and applied it to Obama, asking him:

By Matthew Duss
For those who&#8217;ve been paying attention to the Iraq war, the managerial incompetence of Donald Rumsfeld is no secret. In his memoir of his year in Iraq, former US proconsul Paul Bremer reports numerous maddening incidences of Rumsfeld&#8217;s mercurial intransigence and micromanaging as he oversaw Iraq&#8217;s descent into insurgency in [...]]]></description>

By Chris Hedges
The embrace by any society of permanent war is a parasite that devours the heart and soul of a nation. Permanent war extinguishes liberal, democratic movements. It turns culture into nationalist cant. It degrades and corrupts education and the media, and wrecks the economy. The liberal, democratic forces, tasked with maintaining an [...]]]></description>

I couldn’t have been less surprised to read last week that an American G.I. had been charged with gunning down five of his fellow service members in Iraq. The fact that this occurred at a mental health counseling center in the war zone just served to add an extra layer [...]]]></description>

The single most pertinent question that Dick Cheney is never asked &#8212; at least not by the admiring interviewers he has encountered so far &#8212; is whether he, Donald Rumsfeld and George W. Bush used torture to justify the illegal invasion of Iraq. As he tours television studios, radio stations and conservative [...]]]></description>
