http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32589-who-bombed-khobar-towers-anatomy-of-a-crooked-terrorism-investigation
Gareth Porter, Truthout: Khobar Towers remains a key part of the litany supporting a coercive US policy toward Iran. But the real history of the investigation of the bombing is a textbook illustration of how that coercive policy works to ensure its own indefinite continuation.
More Evidence of Roundup's Link to Kidney, Liver Damage
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32585-more-evidence-of-roundup-s-link-to-kidney-liver-damage

After the Frack: Bright Lights in the Middle of Nowhere
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32591-after-the-frack-bright-lights-in-the-middle-of-nowhere
Lana Straub, Earth Island Journal: Scientists have already established that shale development operations cause light, noise and air pollution, but not much is known about the specific biological impacts of these operations.

More Than 270 Refugees Dead in One Day; Why Is the US Doing Nothing?
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32593-over-270-refugees-dead-in-one-day-why-is-the-us-doing-nothing
Judy Molland, Care2: Many refugees are escaping from Syria, Iraq and Afghanistan - countries facing wars in which the US has been deeply involved. Yet there has been no recognition of this fact, and no acknowledgment that this is a global crisis - one in which the US should play its part.
US-Made Cluster Munitions Causing Civilian Deaths in Yemen
http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32594-us-made-cluster-munitions-causing-civilian-deaths-in-yemen
Kanya D'Almeida, Inter Press Service: New research has found evidence of seven attacks involving cluster munitions in Yemen, believed to have killed at least 13 people and wounded 22 others. The US-made munitions have a 23 percent failure rate, meaning unexploded bombs remain spread over wide areas, endangering civilians - especially children.

http://www.truth-out.org/news/item/32600-the-next-not-so-cold-war-as-climate-change-heats-arctic-nations-scramble-for-control-and-resources
Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: As the Arctic region warms, its geopolitical significance is growing as new areas become reachable, spurring maritime traffic and oil drilling. Resources below the Arctic ice cap are worth over $17 trillion, the rough equivalent of the entire US economy.
Back to ALEC, Back to (Private) School
http://www.truth-out.org/opinion/item/32596-back-to-alec-back-to-private-school
Chris Taylor, PR Watch: The American Legislative Exchange Council's (ALEC) new goal is to enlist middle-income parents to make a case for public school privatization.

Paul Krugman, Krugman & Co.: The Hillary Clinton email "scandal" continues, although there is still no sign that she broke any rules when she was secretary of state. To the extent that some things may have been classified after the fact, it's a very good guess that they shouldn't have been.

Amy Goodman, Democracy Now!: After spending a year in federal prison, Jeff Smith discusses his new book, "Mr. Smith Goes to Prison: What My Year Behind Bars Taught Me About America's Prison Crisis," which he calls "a scathing indictment of a system that teaches prisoners to be better criminals instead of better citizens."
