Your Civilization-in-Decline Update
Days like today are why I can't imagine life without Democracy Now!
Dennis Kucinich and Glenn Greenwald on the Bush-Obama claim of the president's right to assassinate American citizens overseas without due process or trial (as long as someone thinks they're terrorists, of course). Surely the president can be trusted to kill only the right people!
David Price on the CIA's growing presence at universities. Corporatize, militarize, rah rah rah!
Eamon Javers on the CIA's practice of allowing active-duty operatives to moonlight with private companies, putting their government-grown knowledge and skills at the service of Corporate America. And there was much incest!
I wish I had more in common with Lily Tomlin, but fondness for DN! will have to do.
