Former weapons inspector Scott Ritter speaks out
An excerpt from the article.
“The war between the United States and Iran is on. American taxpayer dollars are being used, with the permission of Congress, to fund activities that result in Iranians being killed and wounded, and Iranian property destroyed. This wanton violation of a nation’s sovereignty would not be tolerated if the tables were turned and Americans were being subjected to Iranian-funded covert actions that took the lives of Americans, on American soil, and destroyed American property and livelihood.” An excerpt from the article. ... more -

The Navajo Nation’s Ongoing Battle Against Uranium Mining
We look at the ongoing battle over uranium mining in the Navajo Nation. Mining has occurred on Navajo territory for over fifty years and the impact is still being felt. We speak with the directors of the Eastern Navajo Dine Against Uranium Mining and the Southwest Research and Information Center....
We are broadcasting from New Mexico–home to the Navajo Nation. For decades they have been fighting an ongoing battle against uranium mining on their land. Last April, Navajo Nation President Joe Shirley approved legislation banning uranium mining on Navajo territory. There is currently no mining on the Navajo reservation but Hydro Resources Inc. has been working with the Federal Nuclear Regulatory Commission for years to try to get approval for mining near the Navajo communities of Crownpoint and Church Rock, New Mexico. The company estimates nearly one-hundred million pounds of uranium exists on those sites making it worth millions of dollars.
Uranium mining occurred on the Navajo Reservation for over fifty years and the impact is still felt. The land has been dotted with contaminated tailings and hundreds of abandoned mines that have not been cleaned up.

Winter Soldier: why has there been so little news coverage for this historic event...
This past weekend veterans from the Iraq war gathered to give their personal accounts. The main stream (corporate) media has all but ignored this historical event. For this they are hypocrites. When the war began if you spoke out against it you were not patriotic and not supporting the troops. Now that those very same troops are speaking out most of the media has chosen to ignore their voices. Democracy Now aired the entire event and you can catch clips daily this week. This past weekend veterans from the Iraq war gathered to give their personal accounts. The main stream (corporate) media has all but i... more

Fed. Criminal Investigation Opened on Calif. Oil Spill
A federal criminal investigation has been opened into a 58,000-gallon spill of heavy bunker fuel into the San Francisco Bay. The spill took place when a container ship slammed into the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge Wednesday. Coast Guard officials acknowledged Friday that they had waited over four hours before notifying the public of the magnitude of the spill. They had previously reported a leak of just 140 gallons.
The oil spill has shut down over a dozen beaches and killed at least 60 birds. Ecologists warn that it could take months to clean up and that it threatens the Bays diverse ecosystem, including several endangered species.
Environmental organizations like Friends of the Earth and San Francisco Baykeeper have condemned the ecological impact of the spill and the slowness of the official response. They are also calling for a ban on the shipping industrys use of the heavily polluting bunker fuel, which they say is a thousand times worse for the environment than highway diesel.
