at Bushwatch, as long as we are using ALL CAPS!

My favorite. You have to read at least 4 essays to get it, or at least I did.



Of course I totally agree with Chris Floyd (the best) and Pilger (also the best).

Can't believe Robert Fisk (the best) isn't there, probably some technicality.

There are more. They aren't on that fellow's list. Then there are lots of others who are no longer with us:

Abbie Hoffman
Danny Casolaro
Mark Lombardi
Jim Hatfield
Gary Webb

On DU we have a few, too.

6. Naomi Klein, Thom Hartmann
Naomi Klein ("No Logo"), especially when she's seriously ticked off, like here:
http://www.commondreams.org/views04/1110-22.htm
and here:
http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article6930.htm

Here's a small quote from the former piece, regarding the assault on Falluja:

"With all the millions spent on “democracy-building” and “civil society” in Iraq, it has come to this: If you can survive attack by the world's only superpower, you get to cast a ballot. Fallujans are going to vote, goddammit, even if they all have to die first."

Second, Thom Hartmann, the author of "The Last Hours of Ancient Sunlight". He writes a lot, here's one recent favorite (on COlumbus Day celebration):

8. Kaminski, Vialls, and Bollyn are NAZIS. You shouldn't read them. eom
Seriously, they're holocaust deniers. No sane, decent, and informed person trusts what they have to say.
