Leading Gun Zealot Wants Guns to Scare Members of Congress to Death

Mark Karlin, BuzzFlash at Truthout: Fanning the flames of fear that members of Congress could be shot is not only inciting violence, but it takes on a particular malodorous, offensive and heartless opprobrium considering the shooting of former Rep. Gabby Giffords.

Mike Lofgren | An Inquiry Into the 9/11 Commission's 10th Anniversary Report: How to Read a Government Commission Report

Mike Lofgren, Truthout: As an inquiry into the complex subject of international terrorism, the 9/11 Commission's 10th anniversary reprise is a slipshod farrago of circular argumentation, faulty reasoning and naïve gullibility about the claims of senior officials - but it does serve official Washington's purpose.

Lauren Gazzola, Truthout: Tyler Lang and Kevin Olliff's terrorism indictment for allegedly releasing caged minks and foxes, along with efforts to enact so-called "ag-gag" state legislation that punishes undercover investigations and whistleblowing in animal agricultural facilities, suggest these laws infringe on more than civil liberties.
