By Chase Madar, TomDispatch —
Was the massacre of 13 Iraqis publicized in the WikiLeaks video “Collateral Murder” really a “war crime”—or just plain old war? Some have argued that the slaughter, if legal, was therefore justified and, though unfortunate, no big deal. But it is possible to draw a starkly different conclusion: the “legality” of this act is an indictment of the laws of war as we know them.

By Henry A. Giroux, Truthout —
Everywhere we look, the power of the rich and powerful operates to create a “suicidal state” in which regulations meant to restrict their corrupting power are shredded; shamelessly and without apology, they use their unchecked power to lay off millions of workers while simultaneously cutting the benefits and rights of those on the job in order to dramatically increase corporate profits.
