The award winning documentarian trains his patented eye on the events that happened at Abu Ghraib prison in a film coming out on April 25. From watching the following clips, as well as Frontline’s searing Bush’s War, a pretty clear picture emerges and makes it incredibly difficult for the Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld to put [...]

Lieberman and the Shifting Center

By Alan Stewart Carl | Related entries in Change, Democrats

On “This Week” Joe Lieberman remarked that he didn’t leave the Democrats, the Democrats left him by moving further left. This is substantively accurate as the Democrats since Bill Clinton have definitely moved from interventionalism towards isolationism and from free-trade towards protectionism. There’s little to indicate that Lieberman has changed many of his positions since [...]
