      Al-Jazeera cameraman freed from Guantanamo after six years

      Posted by Shemuses from Globe and Mail

      An Al-Jazeera cameraman was released from U.S. custody at Guantanamo Bay and returned home to Sudan early Friday after six years of imprisonment that drew worldwide protests. Sami al-Haj arrived at the airport in Sudan's capital, Khartoum, on a U.S. military plane along with two other Sudanese released from Guantanamo. Mr. al-Haj was the only journalist from a major international news organization held at Guantanamo and many of his supporters saw his detention as punishment for a network whose broadcasts angered U.S. officials. The military alleged he was a courier for a militant Muslim organization, an allegation his lawyers denied.

    • Matt Taibbi questions America's sanity

      Posted by VincebusEruptum from Jazz-from-hell.blogspot

      Writer Taibbi's new book 'The Great Derangement' goes on sale May 6 and he's put out a promotional video for it that roasts a corrupt White House and an acquiescent corporate media for eight years of greed, terror and blatant, murderous lies. His fellow citizens aren't exactly spared, either...

      The BRAD BLOG : Hillary Clinton: The Luckiest Woman in the World

      Posted by Damianmann from Brad Blog

      With 99.51% of the vote reportedly counted as of this moment, according to the PA Dept. of State s own numbers, it s Clinton s 54.6% to Obama s 45.4%. So, in truth, that s actually just a 9.2-point difference, but, as luck would have it for the New York Senator, rounding each of those numbers to their nearest percent, as the bulk of the media were happy to do today, allows for a nice, easily-trumpeted, double-digit, 55% to 45% number that can be reported far and wide!

    Religion convinced the world that there’s an invisible man in the sky who watches everything you do. And there’s 10 things he doesn’t want you to do or else you’ll go to a burning place with a lake of fire until the end of eternity. But he loves you! ...And he needs money! He’s all powerful, but he can’t handle money!

    Boycott AP

    There is quite a bit of momentum being generated on the subject and the who’s who of the Internet media is reacting vociferously to the AP intervention. AP is already on a bit of a backfoot with all the furious reactions, it will be interesting to see what kind of terms finally emerge.
