Henry A. Giroux, Truthout: While neoliberal governments invoke phrases like=

http://truth-out.org/news/item/25158-the-rise-of-the-american-taliban
The Daily Take Team, The Thom Hartmann Program: Americans are rightly horri=

ident is now officially judge, jury and executioner.
Paul Krugman | Were Homes Really Built Better in the Past?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/25103-were-homes-really-built-better-in-t=
he-past
Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: "Henry Petroski, an engineer who's also a fine=

e, as the city chose to turn off their water in retaliation for unpaid wate=
r bills.
