Those who control the language govern the sphere of debate.

I came across an interesting “euphemism” if this is the correct word for it. The U.S. Forces in Iraq refer to insurgents as “anti Iraqi forces”. Considering that US soldiers in Iraq have killed far more Iraqis than insurgents have, it seems that US forces are more anti-Iraqi than the insurgents. Language is not a transparent medium for representing reality, but rather a cultural system that shapes our values and beliefs. As the US certainly has the upper hand in Iraq, we are in a position to write their history in any manner we see fit. The language we use to describe present history in Iraq will influence how present and future generations perceive the US war on Iraq. Let us please, please hope that the term “anti Iraqi forces” as defined by the US military does not replace “insurgent” in the US media’s reporting of the events in Iraq.

Gonzales Questions Habeas Corpus

By -
In the most shockingly cynical, mis-directed and mind-boggling statement by an Attorney General in perhaps the history of the world, Gonzales offered his own feeble-minded re-interpretation of the United States Constitution. In an further attempt to somehow justify the criminal activities of the Bush Administration, Gonzales stated, "There is no expressed grant of habeas in the Constitution; there’s a prohibition against taking it away,". So in order to take it away, does not one have to have it in the first place? My god, where did Bush find this guy? Answer: the same pea pod of neocons who are bent on taking away the rights of the US people, imposing imperial rule on the United States and expanding US hegemony to the rest of the world. It may be time to dust off those Hitler references.

Giant Jesus in Monroe, OH

This seems very odd. A 62 ft. statue of Jesus just seems . . . odd, to me. And I think of myself as a pretty spiritual, if not actually religious, person. I'm not an atheist. But I kind of wonder if Jesus even likes 62 ft. statues of Jesus. I did enjoy the quote from Larry Flynnt at the end of the article.
