Yesterday was a very exciting day in America. Our nation's most serious foreign policy expert, the "brilliant" Thomas Friedman of

our latest new war:
The next American president will inherit many foreign policy challenges, but surely one of the biggest will be the cold war. Yes, the next president is going to be a cold-war president -- but this cold war is with Iran.

GlennGreenwald has been one of the best - and most influential - voices in the blogosphere. Every day he writes an incisive piece exploring some hypocrisy within the Republican establishment and/or the press. He has been one of the few voices keeping alive such vitally relevant stories as the Pentagon propaganda scandal, [...]
GlennGreenwald reminds us that, twenty years ago, the conservative right was calling their hero an appeaser: This is the same exact insult, grounded in the same war-cheerleading mentality, that was hurled by the extreme Far Right at Ronald Reagan in the 1980s because he sought to negotiate with that decade’s Evil Empire. Conservative Caucus Chair [...]
Today's show is extra special goodness. I have GlennGreenwald as my special guest. We discuss his book, Great American Hypocrites. This is a great interview. Also, I cover President Bush’s attack on Barack Obama plus his “sacrifice” of golf for the troops.
John Yoo's war crimes - Via Salon: GlennGreenwald : (updated below) Yet again, the ACLU has performed the function which Congress and the media are intended to perform but do not. As the result of a FOIA lawsuit the ACLU filed and then prosecuted for several years , numerous documents relating to the Bush administration's torture regime that have long been baselessly kept secret were...
... gay marriage have arisen as a result of the California Supreme Court's ruling yesterday. Salon 's GlennGreenwald does a excellent analysis of legal background as well as the political implications of this narrowly drawn opinion of mostly Republican appointed justices, concluding, to quote: It's self-evident that there's no way rationally to assess whether the Court acted correctly...
Yesterday's California Supreme Court ruling , relying on the California state constitution to find unconstitutional the exclusion of gays from the California institution of marriage, is already being (predictably) misunderstood and mischaracterized. For an excellent summary of the opinion and a debunking of the fallacious attacks against it, check out GlennGreenwald . Probably the most...
And now Friedman has shifted his phallic, warmongering eyes from Iraq to Iran. An enduring image, as they say, from GlennGreenwald, which was edited out of a similar piece in the Huffington Post. The man has serious issues. ‘Suck. On. This.’? ‘Big sticks'? Thank heavens America shuns sanguinary glandular extremists such as he, choosing to confine him [...]
As Big Tent wrote earlier ,the California Supreme Court Thursday overturned a law banning gay marriage (opinion here , pdf). GlennGreenwald has some terrific analysis on what the decision means and doesn't mean. In a nutshell, from the Washington Post , Marriage is a "basic civil right" guaranteed to all Californians, "whether gay or heterosexual, and to same-sex couples as well as...

... is no doubt that this decision is a major victory for the forces of justice. Make sure to read GlennGreenwald on this: "Critically, the Court emphasized at the outset that its ruling had nothing to do with the political views of the judges with regard to gay marriage, but rather, was based solely on its legal analysis of past precedent interpreting the relevant provisions of the...
... voice for change, hasn t ruled out seeking the support of Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver. No GlennGreenwald - Salon Few journalists are the target of as much (justifiable) criticism, here and elsewhere, as CNN's and The Washington Post ’s Howard Kurtz is. But one must give some credit where it's due. He’s one of the very few establishment media figures to cover in 01/16 - 01/23...
... the White House know about the operation'” Perino’s response: “I just said: no.” That's false as GlennGreenwald shows by citing two of the emails the Pentagon was forced to release relating to its program. Both emails were sent by Pentagon official Dallas Lawrence in 2006. The first email (6137) (PDF) refers to a draft proposal to fly several of the “analysts”/propagandists to Iraq...
In reading GlennGreenwald's column today, I found this gem: In comments, MelancholyDane points to this passage from G.K. Chesterton's Heretics: It may be said with rough accuracy that there are three stages in the life of a strong people. First, it is a small power, and fights small powers. Then it is a great power, and [...]
... of listening to an opposing view . On the other hand, some of my favorite very smart bloggers, GlennGreenwald, for example, are rather skeptical -- leaders I admire are willing to challenge the conventional wisdom. The blog of emptywheel is a really good source of investigative journalism -- good leaders are diligent about gathering the facts . Steve Benen writes a bodaciously fine...
