US to Invade Venezuela...?

...High-ranking United States officials met with Venezuelan opposition leaders in the weeks and days before the military coup that ousted Chavez for 47 hours on April 11, 2002. There is now hard evidence that the CIA knew that the coup was being plotted, and Washington was the first capital in the world to recognise the illegitimate government of Pedro Carmona which was installed by the coup.

The Bush administration supplied funds to opposition groups that organised the coup in 2002. It also funded the sabotage of the oil industry in December 2002 and January 2003, which cost the country's economy some 10,000 million dollars. It financed the attempt to remove Chavez through a recall referendum. It is difficult to see how Washington's stance towards the democratically elected government of Venezuela could actually get "tougher" - short of direct military intervention.

Halliburton Defrauding US in Iraq!!! Who didn't see this coming? tsssk tssk

 "...The withholding of this information is highly unusual and raises serious issues," Waxman complained in a letter to Subcommittee Chairman Christopher Shays. "The evidence suggests that the U.S. used Iraqi oil proceeds to overpay Halliburton and then sought to hide the evidence of these overcharges from the international auditors..." http://www.ipsnews.net/interna.asp?idnews=28408

Bush at Work = "Terrorism Statistics show 2005 had more terrorist attacks than in any year since 1985" ...thanks W!

...April 2005: Last week, Bush's State Department decided to kill the publication of an annual report on international terrorism. Why? Well, because the US government's top terrorism center concluded that there were more terrorist attacks in 2004 than in any year since 1985. Isn't that hilarious? Isn't that heartwarming? Your tax dollars at work...

Last Week Marla Ruzicka Wrote about her Discovery that US Military Does Track Civilian Casualties in Iraq; AND NOW SHE'S DEAD (yet another sad "coincidental" murder)

...She obtained figures for the number of civilians killed in Baghdad between 28 February and 5 April, and discovered that 29 had been killed in firefights involving US forces and insurgents. This was four times the number of Iraqi police killed.
"These statistics demonstrate that the US military can and does track civilian casualties," she wrote. "Troops on the ground keep these records because they recognise they have a responsibility to review each action taken and that it is in their interest to minimise mistakes, especially since winning the hearts and minds of Iraqis is a key component of their strategy..."

EPA - "pay families to videotape the effect of pesticide exposure on infants through routine spraying in their homes."

"Sens. Barbara Boxer, D-Calif., and Bill Nelson, D-Fla., said they were placing parliamentary holds on the confirmation of Stephen Johnson as EPA administrator because he had not canceled a controversial program that would pay families to videotape the effect of pesticide exposure on infants through routine spraying in their homes.
