9/11 Commission Hearings: The Logic of War
bbsouter,

Countless eyes were glued to the days of public testimony on March 23 and 24 before the "National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States."

For days, charges and countercharges echoed back and forth outside the commission hearing--through the power structure and the intensifying electoral arena.

¡DETENGAMOS LA 'RESOLUCIÓN BRASILEÑA'!
Libertad de Expresión,

La reunión de la Comisión de Derechos Humanos de las Naciones Unidas se llevará a cabo del 15 de marzo al 23 de abril en Ginebra, Suiza.
Uno de los puntos más polémicos que se someterá a debate es el de la resolución sobre la “orientación sexual” que fue aplazada en la 59va sesión. Esta resolución, presentada por Brasil, fue expuesta como una medida para no discriminar a los homosexuales. Sin embargo, los miembros de la comisión en 2003 pudieron no haber comprendido totalmente las implicaciones de esta resolución.

Nancy Snow on U.S. Propaganda Wars
Mark Gabrish Conlan/Zenger's Newsmagazine,

Americans aren’t used to the idea that they are either the victims or the perpetrators of propaganda, says Nancy Snow, senior research fellow in the University of Southern California Center on Public Diplomacy and assistant professor of communications at California State University, Fullerton. But the truth, as she explained to an audience of about 100 at the First Unitarian-Universalist Church in Hillcrest March 10, is that the U.S. has had an active government propaganda arm aimed both here and abroad at least since 1917.
