Wikileaks: U.S. Actively Ignored Iraqi Torture

This Al Jazeera English report summarizes some of the conclusions that can be made from the latest Wikileaks document dump. They show extensive torture by the Iraqi government and American complicity.

End of War in Iraq or Rebranding of Occupation? Neither.

By Raed Jarrar

Last week, the last U.S. “combat convoy” left Iraq. By the end of this month, the remaining “combat forces” will leave the country, putting the Obama administration on track to reduce the U.S. troop level to 50,000 by August 31.

The U.S. media coverage of this month’s withdrawal has been very confusing and inaccurate.

Palestine: Don’t Wait for the Americans to Save You.

One benefit of the US occupation of Iraq is that Americans now care a bit more about what happens to Palestinians. I hate that Palestinian political gains and Iraqi subjugation may be linked in such a way that they cannot both win.
