The Bush White House Was Deaf Before the 9/11 Storm
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11465-bush-white-house-was-deaf-before-the-9-11-storm
Kurt Eichenwald, New York Times New Service: "That morning's 'presidential daily brief' - the top-secret document prepared by America's intelligence agencies - featured the now-infamous heading: 'Bin Laden Determined to Strike in US.' A few weeks later, on 9/11, al-Qaeda accomplished that goal."
Eleven Years Later, We Are Still at War
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11466-eleven-years-later-we-are-still-at-war
Johnny Barber, War Is a Crime: "On the streets of Kabul it is not unusual to see burqa-clad women clutching starving children, begging for spare change. Poverty and hunger is even worse in Kandahar and Helmand, areas that have seen some of the most intense fighting of the war.... In America, 35 million people are hungry or do not know where their next meal is coming from and 13 million of them are children. Who benefits from the 'War on Terror?'"
Scotts Miracle-Gro to Pay Record Fines for Poisoning Birds and Selling Illegal Pesticides
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11464-scotts-miracle-gro-to-pay-record-fines-for-poisoning-birds-and-selling-illegal-pesticides
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: Tainted, mislabeled pesticides added to the company's wild bird seed resulted in countless wildlife deaths, massive product recalls and unprecedented civil and criminal penalties.
Akin Road Trip: Our Quest to Bring Sex Education to the Man Who Invented "Legitimate Rape"
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11447-akin-roadtrip-our-quest-to-bring-sex-education-to-the-man-who-invented-legitimate-rape
Anne Elizabeth Moore and Sara Drake, Truthout: "We promised you some gender bending last month with our first male Ladydrawers artist, but we're going to put that off for a bit to bring you some mind-bending: Rep. Todd Akin's (R-Missouri) statements about female biology. When we heard them, we knew immediately: that guy needs some accurate, evidence-based words and pictures about gender and sexuality, stat. So, with our good pals from 'Our Bodies, Ourselves,' we decided to take a road trip to St. Louis."
Colombia's Displaced People Speak Out in New Oral History Collection
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11456-colombias-displaced-people-speak-out-in-new-oral-history-collection
Alissa Bohling, Truthout: "Many stories in 'Throwing Stones at the Moon' begin with scenes from peaceful lives raising crops and livestock, until a rumor, a threat or a gunshot announces the arrival of a new order that turns them upside down. But while the book is a valuable document of crimes against humanity, it doesn't read like an inventory of brutality."
Chris Hedges: Dems Owe Chicago Public Teachers Support for "Most Important Labor Action in Decades"
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11467-chris-hedges-dems-owe-chicago-public-teachers-support-for-most-important-labor-action-in-decades
Amy Goodman, Democracy NOW!: "'The teachers' strike in Chicago is arguably one of the most important labor actions in probably decades,' Hedges says. 'If it does not prevail, you can be certain that the template for the attack on the union will be carried out across the country against other teachers' unions and against the last redoubt of union activity, which is in the public sector, of course - firemen and police.'"
Revealed: The Dark Money Group Attacking Sen. Sherrod Brown
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11462-revealed-the-dark-money-group-attacking-sen-sherrod-brown
Justin Elliot, ProPublica: "In May, a previously unknown group started pouring money into Ohio's US Senate race, considered one of the most important in the country, and currently the nation's most expensive. The group, the Government Integrity Fund, has spent over $1 million so far on TV ads bashing Democratic incumbent Sen. Sherrod Brown (D-Ohio), and praising his Republican opponent, Josh Mandel."
We Won the War on Poverty, Then Lost the Peace
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11460-we-won-the-war-on-poverty-then-lost-the-peace
Salvatore Babones, OtherWords: "The poverty line in 2010 for a family of four was $22,314. News flash: We're no longer living in the 1960s. At some point we have to start having higher standards for how poor people should live than we did half a century ago."
Why Did Monsanto Support Genetically Engineered Food Labeling in the UK But Not in California?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/11450-why-did-monsanto-support-genetically-engineered-food-labeling-in-the-uk-but-not-in-california?
Mike Ludwig, Truthout: "When Monsanto's genetically engineered crops first hit the overseas market and stirred up controversy in the European Union, the biotech and agrichemical giant told the British public that it supports the voluntary labeling of genetically engineered foods by retailers. But this year Monsanto has already spent $4.2 million to defeat California's Proposition 37, a popular ballot initiative that would require groceries containing genetically-engineered ingredients to be labeled as such."
Peter Van Buren | The Persecution of John Kiriakou, Torture and the Myth of Never Again
http://truth-out.org/news/item/11468-the-persecution-of-john-kiriakou-torture-and-the-myth-of-never-again
Peter Van Buren, TomDispatch: "That we now can only speculate about many of the details involved and the extent of all this is a tribute to the thousands who continue to remain silent about what they did, saw, heard about, or were associated with.... What is it that allows all those people to remain silent? How many are simply scared, watching what is happening to John Kiriakou and thinking: not me, I'm not sticking my neck out to see it get chopped off."
