ON the ball at
Slate
Andrew Sullivan
Harper's
and
Think Progress-
this video makes me sick to my stomach. I don't think I would ever want anyone I care about to be in the military. Its one thing to die for your country. Its another to fight for a country that will not protect you from torture because it refuses to protect others from it as well. The Geneva Conventions are trashed!
I went to the Library last night and picked out these books ( because I've been reading related snippets from them on other blogs about this topic):
Why America Slept -Gerald Posner
State of War -James Risen
The One Percent Doctrine- Ron Suskind
The Shock Doctrine- the Rise of Disaster Capitalism - Naomi Klein
and last but not least
1984 -George Orwell
sorry to say I can't ever remember reading this....long overdue
Stay tuned for my book reviews...
