They Won: 9/11 and the American Fear Factornew
The tenth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks is coming up, and according to some members of the media, we're all supposed to be excited about commemorating it.

Those Who Promise to be 'Tough on Terror' Ignore Its Root Causesnew
American intervention overseas, from never-ending sanctions on Iraq to permanent military bases on the Arabian Peninsula, is without question the primary cause for 9/11 and the current terrorist threat, a point the 9/11 Commission Report also made perfectly clear. But this is not the answer America is used to hearing from its politicians.

9/11: Six Years Later, Are We Any Safer?new
On this September 11, even as bin Laden remains at large, we are still waist-deep in The Big Sandy, with a mission lacking closure and yet another demand for supplemental billions of dollars in funding for endless war en route from the White House to Congress for a likely rubber-stamped approval.

Can the GOP Protect the National-Security Lie Until November?new
If voters were forced to smell the George W. Bush record up close, we'd be looking down the barrel of a 1964-style John Kerry trounce in November, followed by several high-level prosecutions and a steep, generational decline in the fortunes of the Republican Party.
