Tony B'liar claims that the conquest and occupation of Iraq were beneficial to the Middle East and the world. Has he been taking lessons in chutzpah from Donald Trump?

Out of 144 people that Obama has released from Guantanamo prison, the number that subsequently fought against the US was between 8 and 20. This is despite the grave injustice that all of them have suffered.

I think this question is not fundamentally relevant to the ethical question of Guantanamo. The US should free all the prisoners in Guantanamo, or give them fair trials (those for whom there is something to try them for). You can't justify imprisoning someone because he might be so angry you imprisoned him that he wants revenge.

Even if all released prisoners had gone to fight for PISSI, that would be insignificant in terms of the outcome of the fight. Besides, the continued existence of Guantanamo and its injustice has helped PISSI and al Qa'ida recruit thousands of people to fight the US.

The speaker of Brazil's congress has stepped down as speaker under pressure about his corruption.

Unfortunately, that doesn't cancel the impeachment of President Rousseff.

The documents cited in the Chilcot report show the UK's intelligence agencies assumed without evidence that Saddam Hussein had weapons of mass destruction in 2002, and did not consider the possibility he didn't. Then B'liar exaggerated what they had told him.

The latter step already amounts to dishonesty on B'liar's part, but it occurs to me that perhaps the spy chiefs had been instructed or led to make that assumption, in a deniable way with no paper trail.

Hans Blix: Blair Told Me the Intelligence Was Clear.

In fact, as we see here, it was not clear, it was blind.

How supporters of a united Europe can propose a vision of same that deserves people's support.
