Yesterday, the Guardian had an in-depth piece about Raymond Davis, the American consular employee in Lahore, Pakistan, who killed two Pakistanis a month ago, then had another consular employee kill a third while driving to pick him up, by hitting that person with his vehicle.
The story made clear (shock me) that Davis is a spook working for the CIA.
Beyond the disgustingness of the Obama Administrastion, we have members of the U.S. mainstream media who allegedly have also known this about Davis but not printed it.
Meanwhile, the WaPost looks at the legal ramifications of the U.S. claiming Davis has diplomatic immunity. Of course, the warmongering editorial page of the post won't look at the ramifications of an ongoing undeclared war against Pakistan.
A skeptical leftist's, or post-capitalist's, or eco-socialist's blog, including skepticism about leftism (and related things under other labels), but even more about other issues of politics. Free of duopoly and minor party ties. Also, a skeptical look at Gnu Atheism, religion, social sciences, more.
Note: Labels can help describe people but should never be used to pin them to an anthill.

Obama wants to widen the war AGAIN!
The U.S. has a secret (well, not any more!) plan to attack the Pakistani Taliban. Unilaterally!
That's worse than Bush. It's bat-shit crazy! And, it doesn't ask why some Pakistanis might be tempted to make a terrorist attack on us, like —
BECAUSE WE'RE ATTACKING THEM RIGHT NOW!
Talk about a self-fulfilling prophecy, or self-fulfilling stupidity, or whatever.
