The Middle East, with only a tenth of the world's people, continued to generate more than its fair share of the news. The Israeli punishment attacks on the Gaza Strip that began on Dec. 27, 2008, continued through most of January, leaving more than 1,300 Palestinians dead. More than half of them, according to all estimates except the Israeli military's own, were civilians. Israeli fatalities from all causes, including friendly fire, were 13.
So the 25-year dream of a "two-state" solution gradually fades and the prospect of a third intifada grows. It didn't happen this year and it probably won't happen next year either. But the Israeli military occupation has entered its fifth decade and another generation of Palestinians is growing up so full of rage they will confront Israeli power des...

United States Vice-President Dick Cheney recently suggested that "dunking" a terrorist in water to save lives was a "no-brainer." The ensuing uproar led him to backtrack, claiming that he was not, of course, referring to "water-boarding," or simulated drowning, a technique regarded as tantamount to and banned in the U.S. army's own interrogation manual.
In the notorious " memos" drawn up by the Department of Justice and the Pentagon in 2002 and 2003, the same lawyers sought to restrict the normal definition of -- "severe pain or suffering" -- to extreme acts equivalent to "serious physical injury, organ failure, or even death." Furthermore, as a wartime commander in chief whose main duty was to protect the American people, the president had the power to override b...
