Military Families Speak Out
Dennis Speaks with Nancy Lessin and Charlie Richardson of
Military Families Speak Out about the recent pubicity stunt
that belies the message many family members are getting from
soldiers in Iraq. Identical form-letters sent by soldiers
without their knowledge appeared in home-town newspapers portraying
a happy-face at odds with continuing attacks on soldiers,
suicides and suicide attempts among US troops, and mysterious
unexplained and largely unreported deaths and health problems.
5:16 PM PST
Breaking the Silence - Truth and Lies in the War On Terror
Excerpts from John Pilger's documentary on the absurdity
of Bush/Blair statements about the War on Terror in light
of the reality of unimproved conditions in Afghanistan and
Iraq. John also exposes the hypocrisy of US support and training
of terrorists including Osama bin Laden, and pro-Taliban Isalamic
extremists, and the shameful history of US military aid strengthening
America's self-interest without regard to the cruelty and
human rights abuses of the recipients. A very powerful presentation.
