Pentagon says if America gets nuked it IS ready to respond... just not quickly, efficiently or effectively
via AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth by John Aravosis (DC) on February 01, 2008
You'll recall that a new report found that the Pentagon is not ready to respond if America is attacked with chemical, biological or nuclear weapons. Well, the Pentagon now says that they are ready, kind of:The Pentagon on Friday insisted it is ready to respond to a chemical, biological or nuclear attack inside the United States, rejecting an independent panel's criticism of its...

Clinton supporters raising "at least" $10 million for anti-Obama Swift Boat campaign
via AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth by Joe Sudbay (DC) on February 19, 2008
It had to come to this. Clinton allies are raising millions in a desperate, last ditch effort to defeat Obama by ruining his image with a Swift-Boat-style 527.ABC's Jake Tapper reports the new group, called "The American Leadership Project," is planning to run anti-Obama ads in Ohio -- and maybe Texas and Pennsylvania, too. According to Tapper, the ads are "aimed at tarnishing" Obama. Marc...

Banks unable to prove they own mortgages in foreclosure courts
via AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth by Chris in Paris on February 25, 2008
But remember, they are the professionals. Just because they are unable to locate the documents for 20% of the mortgages they theoretically own doesn't mean they should be held accountable, according to the banks. They argue that it's all the fault of the homeowners who are calling them out who are the problem. They are the ones preventing others from receiving new loans. It's no...

Why is Obama's skin blacker than normal in Hillary's new attack ad?
via AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth by John Aravosis (DC) on March 03, 2008
(click image to see larger version)DailyKos has the original scoop. I went and got the original footage from the Clinton ad, and then compared it to 3 different video clips of the same debate from 3 different sources. I did this so as to take into account any editing, or quality issues, that might have accounted for Obama having darker skin in any particular video. None of the 3 video sources...

Hillary: If you want to see my tax returns, you're acting like Ken Starr
via AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth by John Aravosis (DC) on March 05, 2008
... imitating Ken Starr is a way to win a Democratic primary for the presidency,” Wolfson said.Methinks the lady doth protest too much. Especially after it was Hillary who made "Mr. Lazio, release those tax returns" a key part of her 2000 Senate campaign against Republican Rick Lazio. Back then Hillary said it was "frankly disturbing" that a candidate would waffle over when they were going to...

Hillary's ties to shadowy religious group raising eyebrows
via AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth by John Aravosis (DC) on March 26, 2008
After reading the links below, I can't even believe the Clinton people had the nerve to bring up Obama's pastor. From Mother Jones via the Dallas Morning News:For 15 years, Hillary Clinton has been part of a secretive religious group that seeks to bring Jesus back to Capitol Hill. Is she triangulating--or living her faith?...The Fellowship's long-term goal is "a leadership led by...

... start? If his telling is accurate, it depends on what the definition of "one time," "late at night," and "immediately apologized" is. (And it was 1996, not 1995.)"Hillary Clinton actually made the comments numerous times, including at an event in Iowa on Dec. 29, and an event on Feb. 29 and one time -- bright and early in the morning -- on March 17," ABC's Sarah Amos and Eloise Harper...

China isn't the only human rights menace. Next stop, Russia.
via AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth by John Aravosis (DC) on April 15, 2008
A friend of mine asked me to give a shout-out to this issue, and I am, because Russia is in its own way just as scary as China (they have more nukes, for one thing).Mikhail B. Khodorkovsky is the former leader of Yukos Oil, a privately-owned Russian energy company, and an outspoken critic of Vladimir Putin. He was thrown in jail shortly after he funded political opposition parties in Russia. ...

In most of PA, Clinton's running only negative ads
via AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth by Joe Sudbay (DC) on April 15, 2008
When the kitchen sink isn't enough, do negative ads. That's the Clinton campaign's Pennsylvania strategy based on what Greg Sargent's hearing:In most of Pennsylvania's markets, the only TV ad Hillary is running right now is a negative one -- the spot hitting Obama over his "small town" comments, a political ad buyer who tracks buys in Pennsylvania tells me.The buyer says...

Torture that doesn't sound like torture
via AMERICAblog: A great nation deserves the truth by A.J. Rossmiller on April 15, 2008
I was reading this excellent hilzoy post and it occurred to me that it's probably worthwhile to point out, once again, that the popular conception of torture is often quite different from the reality. For example, I recently read some piece -- I don't even remember what it was -- that was dismissive of sleep deprivation and sensory deprivation as torture. And within the experience of...
