http://www.truthout.org/article/evidence-against-hamdan-barred-guantanamo-trial
Carol J. Williams, of The Los Angeles Times: "The military judge
overseeing
the first war crimes trial against a terrorism suspect at Guantanamo Bay
agreed Monday to bar some evidence against Osama bin Laden's former driver

Reuters: "U.S.-led coalition and Afghan forces backed by airpower have
killed
or wounded more than 30 Taliban insurgents in fighting in the west of

Michael Collins | Election Fraud and Tyranny: Part 1
http://www.truthout.org/article/election-fraud-and-tyranny-part-1
Michael Collins, in a Scoop News column: "Mark Crispin Miller's new book,
'Loser Take All,' identifies and analyzes election fraud, the foundation
of
extremist power in the United States since 2000. Manipulated elections
have
enabled everything we've experienced from the Iraq war to the current
economic
meltdown. None of that would have been possible without the ongoing series
of
'surprise' wins for extremists and their enablers following the outright
theft
of the 2000 presidential election."
Zimbabwe: Mugabe Suc***bs to Pressure and Starts Secret Talks With
Opposition
http://www.truthout.org/article/zimbabwe-mugabe-suc***bs-pressure-and-starts-secret-talks-with-opposition
Chris McGreal, of The Guardian UK: "The rival claimants to victory in
Zimbabwe's widely criticised presidential elections - Robert Mugabe and
Morgan
Tsvangirai - have agreed to immediately begin intensive talks aimed at
establi****ng a 'new government.' At their first meeting in more than a
decade,
Zimbabwe's president and the leader of the opposition Movement for
Democratic
Change yesterday signed a five-page 'memorandum of understanding' that
envisages a fortnight of secret talks by representatives dealing with an
array
of issues from political violence against the opposition to constitutional
reform."

NOW | Afghanistan: The Forgotten War
http://www.truthout.org/article/now-afghanistan-the-forgotten-war
PBS's "NOW" re****ts: "America thought it had won the war in Afghanistan
six
years ago, but a recent escalation in violence and instability - including
the
deaths of nine US soldiers this past weekend - has given rise to the
question:
Have we allowed the Taliban to come back?"
VIDEO | Simona Perry: Interview With Representative Jay Inslee
http://www.truthout.org/article/interview-with-representative-jay-inslee
Truthout's Simona Perry interviews Congressman Jay Inslee of Wa****ngton.
Perry
writes, "Representative Jay Inslee (D-Wa****ngton), inspired by John F.
Kennedy's 1961 Apollo Project - with the ambitious vision of putting
humans on
the moon - believes that if the people of the United States are given a
goal,
the hope, and the motivation, they, not just government, will lead the way
in
solving one of the most pressing environmental issues of our time, global
warming."
