read the September Harper's
sadly, the Harper's website is very low tech and even worse low-information, so these articles are not online and I cannot quote them liberally as I would like to do.

(Sep 28) hey, Harpers DOES have this on-line after all, it was referenced on the Air America site!

Naomi Klein - Bagdad Year Zero

A REALLY good breakdown of the NeoCon agenda.

  • Why that Garner dude was fired from running Iraq after four days (answer, because he wanted to give Iraq back to the Iraqis).
  • The plan for using shock and awe on the civil institutions of Iraq, so they would be too stunned to notice that their economy was taken over by multinational corporations.
    This is the best article I've see on what our REAL agenda was -- it wasn't merely the Oil stupid, it was to be a laboratory for the benefits of pure capitalist greed unfettered by unions, environmental regulation or government oversight.
Lewis Lapham - Tentacles of Rage

Cranky old Lewis Lapham breaking down the right wing negativity machine. This one was a little more predictable, but you can follow the trail of money and talking points from the Heritage Foundataion to the Weekly Standard to Fox News and back again.
