		<description><![CDATA[Another sign we live in bizarro world. President Obama carried out the goal of killing Anwar al-Awlaki along with another US citizen today in Yemen. Apparently killing your own citizens is bad when Libya does it, or when Syria does it, but not when the US does it (or Bahrain or Yemen for that matter). [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[These are the types of things that the military spending (50% of your federal taxes) go to each year. Note that &#8220;the troops&#8221; aren&#8217;t part of it. Most people don&#8217;t realize where the bulk of taxes go, unfortunately. I suspect our much-talked-about existential threat, the al qaeda, isn&#8217;t very worried about hypersonic missiles. Although I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[From DemocracyNow!&#8230; The Pentagon has rejected an embed request from the reporter whose recent article in Rolling Stone magazine led to the firing of General Stanley McChrystal. The reporter, Michael Hastings, quoted McChrystal and his aides making disparaging remarks about top administration officials. The Pentagon says it’s denied Hastings’ request to embed with US troops [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Many of you probably know these things already, but now &#8220;The Daily Show&#8221; has summed up some of the worst policies Obama and his Secretary of State Clinton have retained. This includes kidnapping and keeping people in jail without charging them with a crime indefinitely. Some of this has been posted on townhallmeeting.org before, most [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Director of National Intelligence Dennis Blair told a House Panel today that intelligence agencies have the authority to kill Americans if they are considered a terrorist threat. Blair is infamously known for giving aid to Indonesian military officers who led the 1999 Liquica Church Massacre, while commander of U.S. Pacific Command. We take direct actions [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Bring back the draft. An all volunteer military is one of the worst ideas I can think of. It naturally leads to the whole idea of &#8220;the troops are better than us&#8221; stuff because only a certain type of person would go to war voluntarily. This idea is backed up by rhetoric from almost everyone [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Israel/Palestine debacle can be confusing and nuanced. I highly recommend looking at a map anytime you are thinking about or discussing this issue. It is a great way to start a discussion from an honest place. In case there is yet another peace deal made, don&#8217;t buy into it unless you first see a [...]]]></description>
