Juan Cole: In Iraq the Killing Resumes
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/122705I.shtml
A wave of guerrilla bombings and apparently coordinated small arms attacks around north-central Iraq left over 20 dead and over twice as many wounded on Monday. (Actually, it is worse; the average estimated dead in the guerrilla war ranges between 38 and 60 per day, but wire services seldom report more than a fraction of these deaths).
Skyrocketing Number of Vets with Post Tramatic Stress
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/122705J.shtml
The spiraling cost of post-traumatic stress disorder among war veterans has triggered a politically charged debate and ignited fears that the government is trying to limit expensive benefits for emotionally scarred troops returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.
John Yoo: Architect of Imperialism
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/122705K.shtml
John Yoo knows the epithets of the libertarians, the liberals and the lefties. Widely considered the intellectual architect of the most dramatic assertion of White House power since the Nixon era, he has seen constitutional scholars skewer his reasoning and students call for his ouster from the University of California at Berkeley.
Iraq Vote Shows Sunnis Are Few in New Military
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/122705L.shtml
An analysis of preliminary voting results released Monday from the December 15 parliamentary election suggests that in contrast to the remarkable surge in Sunni Arab participation in the political process, the Sunnis still have comparatively little representation in the Iraqi security forces.
CIA 'Rendition' Exposed by Cell Phone Use
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/122705M.shtml
The trick is known to just about every small-time crook in the cellular age: If you don't want police to know where you are, take the battery out of your cell phone when you're not using it. Had that trick been taught at the CIA's rural Virginia training school for covert operatives, the Bush administration might have avoided much of the crisis in Europe over the practice the CIA calls "rendition."
Debate Looms on Citizen Babies
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/122705N.shtml
A proposal to change long-standing federal policy and deny citizenship to babies born to illegal immigrants on US soil ran aground this month in Congress, but it is sure to resurface - kindling bitter debate even if it fails to become law.
Below a Mountain of Wealth, a River of Waste
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/122705O.shtml
When the company arrived there were several hundred people in the lowland village of Timika. Now it is home to more than 100,000 in a Wild West atmosphere of too much alcohol, shootouts between soldiers and the police, AIDS and prostitution, protected by the military.
The Costly Enron Cleanup
http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/122705Z.shtml
Four years after Enron Corp. collapsed, the Houston energy trader clings to life as "the financial equivalent of a Superfund site," its chairman said. Liquidating Enron's maze of partnerships could cost more than $1 billion.
