NYTimes Reports US Plans For Military Escalation In Pakistan
By Barry Grey
http://www.countercurrents.org/grey221210.htm
Whether Washington is about to approve expanded ground raids or is, for the present, using the threat of such a policy shift to blackmail the Pakistani regime into extending its offensive against internal opponents of the colonial war in Afghanistan, the basic thrust of US policy is to escalate the war. The inevitable result will be the destabilization of the entire region and a far wider military conflagration
The Government's One-Way Mirror
By Glenn Greenwald
http://www.countercurrents.org/greenwald221210.htm
The special operations units deployed overseas to kill the al-Qaeda leadership drove technological advances that are now expanding in use across the United States. On the front lines, those advances allowed the rapid fusing of biometric identification, captured computer records and cellphone numbers so troops could launch the next surprise raid. Here at home, it's the DHS that is enamored with collecting photos, video images and other personal information about U.S. residents in the hopes of teasing out terrorists
Another World Is Possible
By Rebecca Solnit
http://www.countercurrents.org/solnit221210.htm
Think of those doing the research on altruism and compassion as a radical scholarly movement, one that could undermine the philosophical and political assumptions behind our current economic system, which is also our political system. These individuals and organizations are putting together the proof that not only is another world possible, but it's been here all along, as visible, should we care to look, as Nabokov's butterflies

Tell That To The Liberty's Survivors,
Mr. Lieberman
By Alan Hart
http://www.countercurrents.org/hart221210.htm
The job Mr. Lieberman wants most of all is Netanyahu's. The way things are in Israel and look like going, it's not impossible that he will get it. If he does become prime minister, I imagine that would signal a move from rhetoric to action as in the chants of his supporters – "Death to the Arabs!"
Some Bold Proposals For Middle East Peace
By Rabbi Michael Lerner
http://www.countercurrents.org/lerner221210.htm
Instead of playing to each side's elites, those who seek peace must now launch a broad educational campaign to reach ordinary citizens (if necessary, over the heads of those elites) with a message that is convincing -- a message that says, here are the terms of a fair peace agreement and here is why we believe that if each side makes the necessary compromises, it will work to meet your best interests

Mohamed Haneef And The Middle-Class
By Farzana Versey
http://www.countercurrents.org/versey221210.htm
Mohamed Haneef will be paid compensation, reportedly worth Aus $1 million. The manner in which his inquiry was conducted, the lack of evidence or rather the wrongful use of evidence, shows that there was a vicious attempt to incarcerate him, probably also the first showpiece for its 2005 Australian Anti-Terrorism Act. Since July 2007 when he was arrested to now, he has had to fight to prove that he is innocent
