http://truth-out.org/news/item/14008-ex-army-officer-accuses-cia-of-obstructing-pre-9-11-intelligence-gathering
Paul Church and Ray Nowosielski, Truthout: Offering new revelations about the CIA's role in shutting down military intelligence penetration of al-Qaeda, Lt. Col. Anthony Shaffer joins a growing list of government officials accusing former CIA director George Tenet of misleading federal investigators and sharing some degree of blame for the 9/11 attacks.
President Obama's Second Term: Symbolic or Ironic?
http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/13987-president-obamas-second-term-symbolic-or-ironic
Wilmer J. Leon III, Truthout: Some see President Obama's re-election as the realization of Dr. Martin Luther King's "dream," while others see the inauguration as an incredible irony, an incongruity between what it is, and what it is not.
Even With the Affordable Care Act, Health Insurance Coverage Remains Unaffordable for Many
http://truth-out.org/news/item/14019-even-with-the-affordable-care-act-health-insurance-coverage-remains-unaffordable-for-many
Mike Alberti, Remapping Debate: Any hopes that large employers would be penalized for failing to offer affordable insurance coverage to the spouses and dependent children of their employees under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA) were recently dashed by a proposed interpretation of the law from the Obama Administration.
The Iraq War "Surge" Myth Returns
http://truth-out.org/news/item/14020-the-iraq-war-surge-myth-returns
Robert Parry, Consortium News: To win Senate approval as Defense Secretary, former Sen. Chuck Hagel likely will be forced to bow before Official Washington's cherished myth of the Iraq War's "successful surge." To tell the more nuanced truth would open Hagel to another round of neocon attacks.
What's Worth Learning: How Outdated Curricula are Failing America's Students
http://truth-out.org/news/item/14022-whats-worth-learning-how-outdated-curricula-are-failing-americas-students
Marion Brady, AlterNet: Perhaps most damning of all is the fact that the human need to understand, to know, to make sense of the world, but the institutions we've created to meet that deep human need would close their doors if it weren't for mandatory attendance laws, social expectations, and institutional inertia.
US Health Worse Than Nearly All Other Industrialised Countries
http://truth-out.org/news/item/14024-us-health-worse-than-nearly-all-other-industrialised-countries
Carey L. Biron, Inter Press Service: Although the new findings offer a uniquely comprehensive view of the problem, the fact is that U.S. citizens have for decades been dying at younger ages than those in nearly all other industrialized countries.
A Response to Time Magazine: Young People are Not Fragmenting the Pro-Choice Movement
http://truth-out.org/news/item/14025-a-response-to-time-magazine-young-people-are-not-fragmenting-the-pro-choice-movement
Steph Herold, RH Reality Check: If anything is strengthening the pro-choice and reproductive justice movements, it's the people, regardless of age, who are working outside the traditional power structures and are pushing us to be unabashedly inclusive, radical, and unashamed.
Mainstream Media Taking Aim at the Elderly
http://truth-out.org/progressivepicks/item/14028-mainstream-media-taking-aim-at-the-elderly
Staff, Fairness & Accuracy in Reporting: The outcome of the "fiscal cliff" did not impress many in the corporate media, who have long favored some sort of Simpson-Bowles "grand bargain." The last-minute tax deal fell well short - but the failure to cut benefits seemed to bother more pundits than anything else.
Waking Up in Tehran
http://truth-out.org/news/item/14027-waking-up-in-tehran
David Swanson, WarIsACrime.org: If we cannot learn from our own history or this kind of common sense, let us learn from Mossadegh. War is not a solution. War is not a tool of public policy. War is not the first option, the second option, or the last resort. War is out of the question.
This week in SpeakOut: Donald G. Schweitzer gives a historical outlook to America's long time fascination with firearms; Carmel C. Chase gives a lyrical response to the Steubenville High School Rape Case; Dr. Roberto Cintli Rodriguez speaks to those who believe the fight for cultural studies is dead; Martha Sorren introduces the Strong Heart Lakota Solidarity Project's moving documentary on the destruction of indigenous people in America; David Altieri mounts a principled objection to a mental health gun registry; and more.

War is not a solution. War is not a tool of public policy. War is not the first option, the second option, or the last resort. War is out of the question.</p>
