Stanford University's Joel Beinin is used to criticism for his views on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, but when a conservative commentator put the professor's photo on the cover of a booklet titled "Campus Support for Terrorism,'' it started a whole new war.
Beinin, a prominent Middle Eastern scholar, filed suit in March -- turning his ideological clash with FrontPageMag.com Editor in Chief David Horowitz into a legal one.
Horowitz removed the photo from later pr... (more)

In "Conservatives Betrayed: How George W. Bush and Other Big Government Republicans Hijacked the Conservative Cause," Richard Viguerie, the man who invented the idea of using direct mail as a means of going over the heads of what he considered to be a biased estab... (more)
U2 and its lead singer Bono have been pushing the U.S. and EU countries to fork over more money for Third World nations to relieve debt and fight AIDS.
But when it comes to paying their fair share of taxes to help those efforts, U2 wants a free ride.
That's the word from Ireland, where the group has been based since it was founded in the early 1980s.

Army officials say they are considering allowing a private developer to build a 125-acre entertainment, hotel and conference center complex next to a national Army museum at Fort Belvoir that could draw more than 1 million people a year to traffic-choked southern Fairfax County.
The possibility of adding what county officials call a military theme park arises as about 22,000 employees prepare to be transferred to Fort Belvoir in the next five years because of the federal base real... (more)
This morning FOX News reporter Mike Tobin reported that "because Hezbollah has continued to fire rockets at will, there is a debate taking place now in the cabinet and in the military about expanding the operations, picking targets for the Israeli air force which would include Lebanese government installations, utilities and tourist sites in Lebanon. The thinking there is simply to punish the Lebanese government because they are not opposing Hezbollah in the south of the country."
Multiple military sources have told the Global Network that Pentagon personnel responsible for selecting targets for cruise missile first strike attacks have been sent to Israel.
This indicates that U.S. and Israeli military strategists are now likely meeting to plan a join attack on Syria and/or Iran.
The Persian Gulf war and the 2003 U.S. invasion of Iraq both began with cruise missile attacks by the U.S. from Naval ships.
More than 1,541 soldiers who served in Iraq are suffering from psychiatric illnesses - with 800 personnel admitted to the Priory clinics in the past three years.

Photographer who sent altered image is same Reuters photographer behind many of images from Qana, which have also been subject of suspicions for being staged
Ynet News - A Reuters photograph of smoke risi... (more)
What was the point of manipulating this photo? Adding more smoke adds nothing to the impact of the photo. This was pointless... Right? Well... This could be a psy-op. The doctoring of this image will place doubt in people's minds that maybe, just maybe, some of the extremely powerful images of war, which moved them deeply, may possibly be staged. This allows a person to deny the reality of war, "because it might be staged", and go on with their life as if everything is just fine.
It's good to have friends in high places. Just ask Arnold Schwarzenegger.
The California governor, a Republican, has been endorsed in his re-election bid by three of Hollywood's biggest political forces -- all of whom are noted for their big-wallet donations to the Democratic Party.

The precise locations of dozens of secret military and spy bases are to be revealed on Ordnance Survey maps for the first time, ending one of the last remaining legacies of the Cold War.
For decades, tourists and ramblers have stumbled across secret radar bases, nuclear bomb stores and rocket testing ranges tucked away in quiet woods or remote hillsides because they had been "airbrushed" out of even the most detailed official maps.
The two chairmen of the 9/11 Commission say in a new book they were intimidated by angry New Yorkers from grilling Rudy Giuliani on the city's organizational failures and called it the "low point" of their probe.
Thomas Kean and Lee Hamilton state in "Without Precedent" that they let the former mayor off the hook.
"It proved difficult, if not impossible, to raise hard questions about 9/11 in New York without it being perceived as criticism of the individual police ... (more)
AITARUN, Lebanon - We reached this demolished village by following a bulldozer with a Hezbollah driver plowing away the rubble blocking the road.
Minutes after our convoy of five press cars rolled into town, women, children, elderly men and disabled people began emerging from the ruins, pleading for escape from the bombing.
Their desperation to flee the war zone as the clock ticked down on Israel's "pause" in its bombing campaign was the saddest thing I've ever witn... (more)
