Chris Hedges, Truthdig: "It was science, industry and technology that made =
possible the 20th century's industrial killing. These forces magnified inna=
te human barbarity. They served the immoral. And there are numerous scienti=
sts who continue to work in labs across the country on weapons systems that=
have the capacity to exterminate millions of human beings."

http://truth-out.org/news/item/10728-sikh-temple-shooter-was-a-white-suprem=
acist-part-of-growing-trend-of-anti-sikh-violence
Annie-Rose Strasser, ThinkProgress: "Several reports out this morning indic=

dities
Jim Hightower, OtherWords: "Free-market purists want us to have another ung=

invest directly in students by covering their tuition."
The Bomb and the Drone: The Grim Reaper Keeps Taking Its Toll
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/10389-the-bomb-and-the-drone-the-grim-rea=
per-keeps-taking-its-toll
Ed Kinane, Truthout: "Like Japan's hundreds of thousands of civilian casual=

Monsanto's Quiet Coup: Will Congress Limit Scope and Time for GMO Reviews?
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10718-monsantos-quiet-coup-will-congress-lim=
it-scope-and-time-for-gmo-reviews
Jill Richardson, PR Watch: "The scene was initially set before the first ge=
netically engineered crops existed, when the pro-industry Reagan administra=
tion crafted a lax regulatory framework ... requiring no new laws to regula=
te genetically engineered crops and animals, thus avoiding any public natio=
nal debate on the issue. Instead, newly created GE plants would be treated =
as potential 'pests' to other plants and reviewed by government agencies un=
der stilted standards about whether the GE plants hurt other plants or prot=
ected animals like endangered species."

http://truth-out.org/news/item/10717-beating-back-the-ceo-attack-on-social-=
security-and-medicare
Dean Baker, Truthout: "The CEOs want to do this behind closed doors because=
they know that politicians who have to answer to their constituencies will=
never be able to get away with these cuts. The key is to force the debate =
into the sunlight."

n Racially Motivated
http://truth-out.org/news/item/10724-emails-from-alec-member-russell-pearce=
-show-anti-immigrant-law-may-have-been-racially-motivated
Laura Steigerwald, PR Watch: "The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of =
Arizona has asked the man behind the 'show me your papers' anti-immigrant l=
aw in that state to show them his emails=E2=80=A6. 'We are much like the Ti=

h our country sink,' reads one email obtained through the open records requ=
est."

http://truth-out.org/news/item/10727-congressional-probe-reveals-cover-up-o=
f-auschwitz-like-conditions-at-us-funded-afghan-hospital
Nermeen Shaikh and Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: "A congressional investigat=

<p style="margin: 0;padding: 0;font-size: 100%;color: #444 !important;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;line-height: 1.1"><strong>Jill Richardson, PR Watch:</strong> "The scene was initially set before the first genetically engineered crops existed, when the pro-industry Reagan administration crafted a lax regulatory framework ... requiring no new laws to regulate genetically engineered crops and animals, thus avoiding any public national debate on the issue. Instead, newly created GE plants would be treated as potential 'pests' to other plants and reviewed by government agencies under stilted standards about whether the GE plants hurt other plants or protected animals like endangered species."</p>
