No, that is not a typo. It does say Iran, not Iraq.
Follow this link to the astounding article by Seymour Hersh in the New Yorker.
Follow this link to an article on Huffington Post that has a CNN interview with Seymour Hersh about his New Yorker article.
Follow this link for an interview of Seymour Hersh on Fresh Air on NPR. In many ways, the information divulged in this interview is much more frightening than anything I read in the New Yorker article. (The link to the NPR interview was given to me by Richard H.)

Terrorism Fight Held Hostage by Republicans
Filed Under Periodic Posts
The Republicans seem so adamant that the new FISA bill before the Senate must have immunity for the telcos for their past crimes, that they are willing to see our intelligence agencies hamstrung unless they get their demands.
Why is telco immunity more important to Republicans than is our national security?
Why can’t the Democrats ask the Republicans why they would be willing to torpedo this bill if the telco’s cannot get immunity?
Why are the Democrats so bad at framing the issues? Can they negotiate their way out of a paper bag?

Documents confirm U.S. hid detainees from Red Cross
Filed Under Periodic Posts
Follow this link to another McClatchy story about our use of torture.
Is this the kind of behavior you want being done in your name?
As the the Robert Greenwald videos always end, “Psst, Do Something.” I believe the word is impeachment.
