A short piece today - what's new? - not too much - so a look at healthcare from a slightly different perspective and of course Joe Lieberman. I think McClatchy newspapers does some of the best investigative work - they're doing a series on Goldman Sachs - they 'own' the US. Afghanistan from a slightly different perspective - what have we gained? - nothing for women - leakage from military training of expertise, weapons, finance to the insurgents - who gains the most? And the continuing drama of journalism in the country - what is the future?
^^^^^^^^
US healthcare paradox - unwilling to learn from others - profit at expense of people's health - will there be reform? - yes - but only a minor incremental effort compared to what is possible ---
...
And of course Joe Lieberman as the ultimate 'politician' - TomTomorrow ---
...
GoldmanSachs - ethics - not - this is Capitalism - actually Casino Capitalism - revolving door to government - where will it end? - in their favor ---
...
Chris Hedges - Warlords v-a-v Taliban - the same - women are treated the same - Taliban eliminated drug production when they were in control - now # 1 drug country - we trained the Warlords against USSR and now use them against Taliban - the people suffer and die - more civilians have been killed than Taliban fighters - billions have been passed through to Warlords - disastrous ---
...
Jounalism - UK does better than US - Huffington does better than WashPost in on-line - UK newspaper has more on-line outside UK than WashPost has in all of US - what will the future bring? ---
