Lies and Mysteries Surrounding Bin Laden’s Death
The men who executed Bin Laden did not act on their own: they were following orders from the US Government. They had gone through a rigorous selection process and were trained to accomplish special missions. It is known that the US President can even communicate with a soldier in combat. A few hours after accomplishing that mission

Show us the shooter
By Pepe Escobar (Published Asia Times Online) Show us the Navy SEALs hero who did the double-tapping on Osama bin Laden – the one-two in the head to make sure the target of a hit job is out – after a “firefight” the signs of which are virtually absent in that squalid “mansion” in Abbottabad.
The Assassination of Osama Bin Laden
Those persons who deal with these issues know that on September 11 of 2001 our people expressed its solidarity to the US people and offered the modest cooperation that in the area of health we could have offered to the victims of the brutal attack against the Twin Towers in New York. We also immediately

A Nobel prizewinner without scruples
By Atilio Boron Translation: Machetera / Tlaxcala One more sign among many illustrating the profound moral crisis of “Western and Christian civilization” that the USA claims to represent is offered by the news of the killing of Osama bin Laden.

Obama/Osama rock the casbah
United States President Barack Obama may have turned the boogie sound on his 2012 re-election – bookmakers are giving him 1.75 – way beyond the reach of a circus freak show featuring specimens such as mama grizzly Sarah Palin and billionaire bully (with a fox in his head) Donald Trump. But was it “justice” – as Obama claimed? Justice – up to the age of the drone – implied a crime scene, evidence, courts, due process, a jury, a judge and a sentence.

The Case of the Cuban Five and the Media
When the U.S. Government rejected Gerardo Hernández Nordelo’s Habeas Corpus petition on April 25, it did so very categorically, without leaving any margin of doubt. Washington wants the court in Miami to declare his petition inadmissible and to do so summarily, without holding a hearing to examine its merits, without hearing Gerardo, without presenting the evidence it is hiding.
