This may be the most disgusting revelation yet. Defense contractor DynCorp provided Afghan Police with young boys and drugs in order to ingratiate themselves with the locals. Not only did our State Department know about this, they worked to quash the investigation.

Here is the article from Rawstory:

This is clearly the most explosive of the cables, yet it's buried by the traditional media outlets. The NYT has been headlining their front page with inconsequential gossip, yet this hasn't been mentioned. If we needed more proof that the mainstream media is simply a tool of the plutocracy, this is it.

This feels like a nightmare. What have we become? Are we still the good guys?

Reza Pahlavi, the former crown prince of Iran, has been on a Cheney-esque media blitz this week. At every stop, he's given a what seemed like a campaign speech, even referring to his "platform". Is Pahlavi the next Ahmed Chalabi?

Paul Krugman has an editorial today in the NYT about Ireland's economic problems. Apparently a 12.5% business tax is nice for the short term, not so good for the long term.

Business tax in Ireland?...Something about this conversation sounded familiar. Didn't I hear this being discussed on Meet the Press during the campaign? Oh yes I did!

The net is revolutionizing political discourse and breaking the stranglehold of television pundits. Intelligent viewers are fleeing TV in search of substantive discussion. While I applaud the ability of Rachel to close the gap between these two worlds, there is a troubling legacy architecture which threatens to undermine your credibility.

That legacy is personified in Pat Buchanan....

Our current economic meltdown has been the hot topic at my office. One silver lining is the unique opportunity to engage many non-political friends on the deeper issues of community and country. After numerous conversations I've found effective ways to distill complex financial issues down to simple truths which resonate with everyone.

In this first entry I'll explain the most powerful of the Water Cooler Concepts: the polarization of wealth. (more after the fold.....)
