By MICHAEL MOSS
Published: November 6, 2009
KILLEEN, Tex. — Leaders of the vibrant Muslim community here expressed outrage on Friday at the shooting rampage being laid to one of their members, Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, who had become a regular attendee of prayers at the local mosque. But some of the men who had befriended Major Hasan at the mosque said the military should examine the policies that might have caused hi
Nov 07 · Around the United States, peace groups are engaged in effective campaigns against proposed new military installations, local funding of weapons companies, and the routine destruction of the environment and of workers' health by such companies. Activists are building better media outlets, educating young people, educating old people, keeping military testing and recruiting out of schools, and discouraging the Army from building real-weapon video arcades in shopping malls. But when it comes to s

Nov 06 · I heard about Fort Hood this morning on the radio. One thinks first, of course, about how horrible this is for the victims, for the families of the shooter and the killed and wounded alike. I know there are people here who have family in the military who might be at Fort Hood right now and I am hoping for your sake that they are all OK.

Nov 05 · A change in Louisiana law last year is forcing local school systems to pay for many new charter schools whether they like them or not. The battles are heating up in many states as public schools see their money disappearing.
School superintendents are starting to fight back. Last month, superintendents flooded the state with letters of complaint directed at three proposals to create strictly online charter schools that in two cases would draw students from all over Louisiana. The superi

Reid is saying no bill before next year.
I am sorry, but that isn't much of a heartbreak. The legislation is horrible. In a nutshell, it mandates citizens to buy overpriced and non-comprehensive insurance from the private corporations that broke the health care system. TENS of millions will be without ANY insurance. Tens of millions more will be unable to afford anything but catastrophic coverage which hardly covers anything, even in the case of a catastrophe. Millions will pay a pen

MADDOW: "The reason that sort of thing happened in so many different townhall meetings during the month of August all around the country is, in part, because those things were not spontaneous. Organizing memos were circulated ahead of the health care town hall events. One of them was authored by a Connecticut man named Bob McGuffie. His memo, which was called 'Barac

From PFAW:
In the video you can watch Joseph Welch take on McCarthy in that famous 1954 exchange.
McCarthyism is back. Let's call it what it is.
We are seeing one witch hunt after another led by right-wing opinion leaders, media outlets, organizations and even members of Congress. They pursue personal smear campaigns, grasping at straws to create "guilt by association" and c
