The masters of economic disaster are back

20-11-2008 08:56

It's not as if we at BAR didn't warn you. Barack Obama's first major act as
president-elect was to select as his chief of staff Rep. Rahm Emanuel, whose

running." So when do the protests begin? "Progressives for Obama and other

Obama's Intelligence Agenda

18-11-2008 18:24

While expectations may be high that the incoming Obama administration will
reverse many of the worst features of the Bush regime--from warrantless
wiretapping, illegal detention, torture, "targeted assassinations" and
preemptive war--now that the cheering has stopped, expect more of the same.
