Down, but Not Yet Out!
Steve Weissman, Reader Supported News
Weissman writes: "Think back to August 2013, when Obama and Kerry called for a not-so-limited military strike on Syria following reports that the government of Bashir al-Assad had used poison gas. To this day, Washington has not shown that the horrific use of gas came from Assad's forces rather than from the Sunni rebels."

Profiteers
Barbara Garson, TomDispatch
Garson writes: "In other countries with national health plans, a variety of independent health care providers ... deliver medical care, while the government doles out the compensation.

Richard Eskow, Campaign for America's Future
Eskow writes: "Of all the myths that circulate in Washington, perhaps none is more prevalent or intractable than the one that says that the United States is a 'moderate' nation - and that the 'center' of public opinion lies somewhere between the views of conservative Democrats and those of less extreme Republicans (a relative term at best)."
