Kucinich Backs Obama In
Iowa Primary
By Jeff Lassahn
www.countercurrents.org/lassahn030108.htm
Democratic Congressman Dennis Kucinich has announced to his supporters in Iowa that if he does not reach the 15 percent threshold of votes needed to proceed to the second round of nominating the party’s presidential candidate, he “strongly encourages” them to vote for Senator Barack Obama. This further underscores the cynical and deceptive nature of Kucinich’s campaign and his supposedly leftist, antiwar stance

Dear Iowa, Vote For Dennis But Don’t Listen To Him
By David Swanson
www.countercurrents.org/swanson030108.htm
I love Dennis Kucinich and think he is far and away the best candidate running for president. He and I are speaking together on a panel in New Hampshire this weekend. But asking his supporters in Iowa to vote for Obama as their second choice makes no sense to me

Hey Iowa, Only One Candidate Links Education With War Spending

Obama is aiming for younger caucus-goers. Clinton is targeting women. Both demographic groups should take another look at Kucinich, and his plan to put the nation’s youth in college, not in Baghdad

America’s top lawman has announced the launch of a criminal investigation into the CIA’s destruction of videotapes allegedly showing the violent interrogations of al-Qaeda suspects being held at a secret prison.Attorney General Michael Mukasey has appointed a modern day ‘Untouchable’ to head up the investigation. But will mob-buster John Durham be tough enough to take on the Central Intelligence Agency and possibly even the White House?

Put Option On America, Part 3
By Rand Clifford
www.countercurrents.org/clifford030108.htm
Many “accidents” combined to save Israelis from becoming WTC casualties on 9-11. And while CorpoMedia did burp a perfunctory blurb about Odigo employees and their tip that could have saved thousands of American lives, if shared, but the blurb got buried. So many things Americans need to know are routinely buried that every day it becomes clearer to freethinkers: America’s Fourth Estate has become Israel’s Fifth Column

How Bush Took Us To The Dark Side
By Tom Engelhardt
www.countercurrents.org/engelhardt030108.htm
If you really want to catch the spirit of the Bush legacy one year early, try to imagine the poem an Emma Lazarus of this moment might write, something appropriate for a gigantic statue in New York harbor of a guard from Mohamed Bashmilah’s living nightmare — dressed all in black, a black mask covering his head and neck, tinted yellow plastic over the eyes, a man, hands sheathed in rubber gloves, holding up not a torch but a video camera and dragging chains

How Britain Became Party To A Crime That May Have Killed A Million People

Not having a written constitution allowed Blair and his advisers to go to war without reference to parliament or the public

Reviewing F. William Engdahl’s Seeds Of Destruction – Part II
By Stephen Lendman
www.countercurrents.org/lendman030108.htm
William Engdahl’s book is a diabolical account of how four Anglo-American agribusiness giants plan world domination by patenting life forms to gain worldwide control of our food supply and our lives. This review is in three in-depth parts

Solidarity And Equality: Something To Believe In
By Gaither Stewart
www.countercurrents.org/stewart030108.htm
It’s easy to conclude that the world is what it is and that we have to live in it as best we can. But I believe we can imagine it better than it is. Since 1968 youth movements of the world have marched under the slogan that a different world is possible. And what’s wrong with the idea of Utopia as a guide?

The Life And Death Of Benazir Bhutto: A Pakistani Tragedy
By M. Shahid Alam
www.countercurrents.org/alam030108.htm
Pakistan has a chance of averting a civil war, but only by distancing itself from the United States. This distancing is now vital for Pakistan: and one could argue, for the United States too. Only by distancing itself from the United States does any Pakistani government now have a chance of preventing the militants from overwhelming Pakistan itself. No government that cleaves to the United States and Israel has a chance of winning popular support in its efforts to contain the spread of the Islamist insurgency. Sadly, Benazir Bhutto too – like Musharraf – has cultivated the Israeli lobby in the United States

Advertisements Need To Respect Human Rights

A TV advertisement concerning Happydent teeth whitening gum represented the worst case of human rights violation; the advertisement is still being run. May be it is a call to act
