A few random thoughts on Libya…

Posted on March 20, 2011 by Sabina Becker

Politically motivated? You don’t say…

Posted on March 10, 2011 by Sabina Becker

Awhile back, I remarked on how interesting and odd the timing of those sexual assault charges against Julian Assange was. Today, once more, I am reminded of just how very interesting and odd that timing was, indeed: Julian Assange’s Swedish … Continue reading →

Just another senseless crime?

Posted on January 10, 2011 by Sabina Becker

I was in Arizona in 2003. It didn’t seem like a hateful place at the time. I was more worried about not clearing security to get on the plane at Pearson Airport in Toronto, to be honest; it was less … Continue reading →

Who are the American Taliban?

Posted on January 6, 2011 by Sabina Becker

I’ll give you a broad hint, if the pic above isn’t enough for you. They damn sure aren’t John Walker Lindh: Teen Challenge by its own definition is an Assemblies of God USA evangelical Christian recovery program and a network … Continue reading →

Collateral Murder: The aftermath in Baghdad

Posted on December 26, 2010 by Sabina Becker

Two unembedded reporters for Big Noise Films were in Baghdad–coincidentally, the day after the notorious Collateral Murder shootings occurred (and were caught on camera by the helicopter gunships doing the firing.) They prove conclusively that everything the US government has … Continue reading →

Congratulations, Team America World Police!

Posted on October 25, 2010 by Sabina Becker

It’s been only eight long years of illegal captivity and torture, and finally, you wrung a “confession” out of your designated scapegoat, poor, brainwashed Omar Khadr, he of the batshit-crazy fundie-Islamist family. Feel proud! Meanwhile, here’s a little song, which … Continue reading →

The Bush Crime Family’s tentacles in Cuba

Posted on August 25, 2010 by Sabina Becker

Thought you’d seen the last of Dubya when His Barackness kicked him oh-so-politely out of the White House, and hustled him and his minions onto that chopper to take him back to Crawford where he belonged? Think again. As long … Continue reading →

Short ‘n’ Stubby: Ms. Manx goes to Afghanistan

Posted on August 16, 2010 by Sabina Becker

Lately, so many stories on Afghanistan have been landing in my tab bar that it’s getting hard to keep track of them (not to mention scroll past them all!) So, Ms. Manx has obligingly meowed at me, urging me to … Continue reading →

How far would Washington go to defend torture and death squads?

A cracking good debate on burqa bans (and an article on Ground Zero mosques)

Posted on July 25, 2010 by Sabina Becker

Am I giving too much away when I say that the woman in the headscarf is full of win? Just one of many interesting ironies in this half-hour of must-see TV. Another thing that occurred to me while watching this: … Continue reading →
