What is the logical deduction of such an admission? It seems quite simple. - No American is safe any longer, no matter where he or she is...at home or abroad.
We have become a country of torturers, and killers functioning on a mode of repression.
It is like some nightmarish tale out of the history of the Borgias. Imagine what history will have to say about us!

"Bad Light" That should start a red light flashing in what is left of our brains.
But I forgot we don't need to think anymore. We can just hope for change.

I alwayd dread and look forward to listening to what Eric Margolis has to say and it is always interesting.
I hope that in the next interview with Eric Margolis Scott will ask him in detail about the underground workings of Jean Negroponte and Khalilzad.who always appear on the scene when there is some abominable intervention in preparation or underway.

I fail to see how you can think tone is irrelevant in communiciation, which is the object of an interview, whether it be about war and peace or any other subject. If the object is to attract listeners to the message or information then delivery is very important.
I do not find that his words hurt; they inform, with facts and his opinion. He is a journatlist here and wants people to hear or read what he has to say. otherwise he would just keep a private diary. An egg is an egg but there is a difference between a fried egg and an omelet in the presentation.
Perhaps I should have emailed him directly rather than posting here. I consider this nothing more than friendly criticism. Sorry if you are offended.

I find the tone of Justin Raimondo rather grating. He speaks with such a condescending voice as if to say the poor smucks out there who haven't got enough sense to agree with my every word will just have to remain out in the cold.
I do not say this to be mean but think that if he wants to get the attention of the listener he should re-play the interview and lend an objective ear, not to what he is saying but to the manner in which he is saying it.
People do not like to be talked down to.

Of course there may not be much left to defend on the domestic "front" by the time the Pentagon has consumed the entire budget and now that the Constitution is in shreds but inexorably the military-industrial complex seems to want to cut off the branch on which it is seated.
Such a regime with the "bomb" is scary, and they ask us to be frightened of Iran!

It looks as though Jeremy Scahill must have hit the nail on the head to bring out such "enlightened and nuanced understanding" from IPOA.

How I wish I could share Glenn's optimism! Perhaps if the problems we are facing were only political that might be possible but there is the planet and our over population of it. There is no serious effort whatsoever to address this ever expanding situation. With the population over-growth comes the over exploitation of all natural resources and a breakdown of the food chain. Then there is climate change; these two physical realities will eventually bring to heel even those who now control our political, economic and social environment, but under what catastrophic conditions?
This said ,Glenn's tireless battle for the rule of law is admirable and I am an admirer who wishes I could be more active.

I always appreciate Pepe Escobar's capacity for connecting the dots, in this case for following the pipelines,. Clinton and Biden seem like such amateurs in the gobal scheme of things, almost like Condi and Dan Quayle. One cannot but wonder what must be said behind closed doors by the Russian and Chinese when the children go to bed..
A very interesting interview!

I was unable to listen to this program. The unending spill for the "goodwill" insurance companies and the lack of rebutal was so nauseating I flipped it off. The last real independence we have. I was surprised and disappointed!
Bacus himself could have led the charge today.
