 [Stopwaroniran.blogspot.com] Stop War on Iran: The Bush Administration, while publicly advocating diplomacy in order to stop Iran from pursuing a nuclear weapon, has increased clandestine activities inside Iran and intensified planning for a possible major air attack. Current and former American military and intelligence officials said that Air Force planning groups are drawing up lists of targets, and teams of American combat troops have been ordered into Iran, under cover, to collect targeting data and to establish contact with anti-government ethnic-minority groups.

[Activistchat.com] FREE IRAN NEWS [In The Spirit Of Cyrus The Great & The First ...: I believe that there is a reason for this special gift which resides within their hearts--what one commentator recently observed as the "tortured history of Iran." Tragedies at the hands of Greeks, Mongols, Arabs, Turks, Russians, British, and yes, Americans, have put this amazing culture and nation under the relentless heel of foreign exploitation and oppression with consistent repristination in time. I subscribe to the view that the best of this nation have survived, and continue to survive, by a worldview which looks simultaneously back and forward--back to the days of the apex of the Achaemenid Kings of Ancient Persia beginning with Cyrus, and forward to an eternity where the slings and arrows of outrageous fortune in history are overcome by the gracious provision of the God of the Universe.

 [Hughhewitt.com] Hugh Hewitt: Espionage is not an "in the eye of the beholder" issue, and Powerline has posted extensively on the subject, including this post, and Powerline's Scott Johnson has written on the subject for the WeeklyStandard.com. Gabriel Schoenfeld has penned "Has the New York Times Violated the Espionage Act?" for Commentary. Andrew McCarthy has a crucial overview that appropriately distinguishes between categories of leaks, and the scrutiny reporters/editors/papers whould be under depending upon the nature of the leak.

 [Blog.washingtonpost.com] Early Warning by William M. Arkin - washingtonpost.com: Chemical artillery shells from the Iran-Iraq war are not evidence of an imminent threat, and it's hard to believe that the White House somehow is covering up that Saddam possessed real WMD.

 [Iris.org.il] IRIS Blog: When previous atrocities were perpetrated, the PA - from whose bailiwick the mass-murderers set out, where they were brainwashed and trained and where the infrastructure for their operations flourished - issued obligatory wan denunciations of the deeds. This was done despite, or perhaps precisely because, power was held by Fatah, whose own members - particularly those in the Tanzim and the Aksa Martyrs Brigades - carried out some of the worst onslaughts on Israelis non-combatants.

[Eagle World News - Newspaper Headlines From Around The Globe] Caspian Sea Oil Stems Rivalry Between Russia,... : WASHINGTON - The Caspian Sea sits atop one of the world’s largest oil and natural gas fields, but its full exploitation only began about a decade ago. Since then the resource-wealthy region has become the center of rivalry between Russian and western, mainly United States, interests.

 [ReBelle Nation] How Congressman John Murtha was 'Framed': "I was recently misquoted following a speech I gave at a Veterans forum at the Florida International University Biscayne Campus on June 24, 2006. During the speech, I made a point that our international credibility was suffering, particularly due to our continued military presence in Iraq and that we were perceived as an occupying force.

Hard Astarboard: President George Washington warned Americans that they had a new responsibility when he stated in his first inaugural address, "The preservation of the sacred fire of liberty and the destiny of the republican model of government are justly considered, perhaps, as deeply, as finally, staked on the experiment entrusted to the hands of the American people." From the birth of this Republic, the foundation of this country was the proposition that all men are created equal. As President Abraham Lincoln stated in the Gettysburg Address, "That this nation under God, Shall have a new birth of freedom-and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." Abraham Lincoln envisioned that the guiding principles of the Declaration of Independence and the rights conveyed in the United States Constitution would be the foundation that humanity rests on, eloquently written in the Declaration of Independence, "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal." It's instructive that many of our brave military men & women understand they are serving the cause of freedom enumerated in that cherished document, sacrificing and establishing the basic foundation of democracy in the unstable often volatile region of the Middle East.

[Journalism by Other Means] Three Great Powers and One Nascent Nation: With its strategy of cooperation with the Americans, the Pakistani military regime bought itself some time to fortify its position against future threats from U.S. Just four months after the U.S.-led coalition forces liberated Afghanistan from the Talibans, the Pakistanis courted China to counter U.S. hegemony in the region, and broke ground with the Chinese in building a Deep Sea Port on the Arabian Sea. The project was sited in an obscure fishing village of Gwadar in Pakistani-occupied Balochistan, bordering Afghanistan to the northwest and Iran to the southwest.

[1 Boring Old Man] the Perfect Storm”¦: The obsession with Iraq seems to have come from the American Enterprise Institute shepherded by Laurie Mylroie, but then carried as a banner by Paul Wolfowitz, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfield to the Project for the New American Century, then imported directly into Bush’s cabinet as part of the Bush Doctrine. Now, the current New Yorker has a fascinating article, The Hidden Power, about another idealogue who, along with Cheney, came up with something called the New Paradigm.
