Beyond-Petrol: "Old and new communication techniques are permitting oil companies to communicate 'green' while delivering the same huge value to stockholders."
The truth behind the facade.
The privatization of war and government:
FreeInternetPress: "The Carlyle Group, one of the world's largest private equity funds, may soon acquire the $2 billion government contracting business of consulting giant Booz Allen Hamilton, one of the biggest suppliers of technology and personnel to the U.S. government's spy agencies. Carlyle manages more than $75 billion in assets and has bought and sold a long string of military contractors since the early 1990s. In recent years it has significantly reduced its investments in that industry. If it goes ahead with the widely reported plan to buy Booz Allen, it will re-emerge as the owner of one of America's largest private intelligence armies."
Bush the torturer:
Reuters: "President George W. Bush on Saturday vetoed legislation passed by Congress that would have banned the CIA from using waterboarding and other controversial interrogation techniques."

5YearsTooMany: "March 19th offers a unique opportunity for our movement to grow after 5 years of war. We know there are key pillars of support that enable this illegal and immoral war for oil and global domination to continue. On March 19th we will take nonviolent direct action to disrupt each of these key pillars in Washington DC and in communities across this country. In what we hope will be an unprecedented day of collective action and solidarity we will take a variety of actions over a 24-hour period to commemorate 5 years of war."
AlterNet: "This week, on March 13-16, a new generation of Winter Soldiers - veterans of the conflicts in Afghanistan and Iraq - will descend on the nation's capitol to tell America in their own words what they saw during their service in the 'war on terror', the Bush administration's signature policy."
