Oil rebounds on word Israel practiced Iran attack (AP)--Self-fulfilling PR. Who spread the “word,” the oil company hyenas themselves? They start wars, then stage manage them. Next oil war, Iran. Shortsighted greed though: In the end, there will be vast oversupplies of oil but their own pumps will be bone dry.


Deals with Iraq are set to bring oil giants back (AFP)--Go ahead and sign anything you like. Then join the queue on the roof of the US embassy in Baghdad for the choppers to ferry you out to the aircraft carriers in the Gulf on the day of Shiite reckoning.


Surveillance Bill Offers Protection To Telecom Firms (Washington Post)--This is not a “sell-out” by the Dems as some critics claim. It’s clear that “Off the Table” Pelosi and her fellow Republicrats were in on Iraq, the torture, rendition, everything, from Day One. How can they be regarded as "traitors" when they’ve been and still are active collaborators in the Bush war crimes? Heads up to Pelosi & Co.: You'll be sitting in the Nuremberg dock one day soon.
