John Pilger writes in the NewStatesman:
"Hugo Chávez expresses the kind of genuine exuberant democracy long ago abandoned in Britain"
In Andrew Cockburn's new book, Rumsfeld, the gap between rampant power and its faraway victims is closed. Donald Rumsfeld, US secretary of defence until last year and a designer of the Iraq bloodbath, is revealed as personally directing from his office in the Pentagon the torture of fellow human beings, exploiting "individual phobias, such as fear of dogs, to induce stress" and use of "a wet towel and dripping water to induce the misperception of suffocation". Cockburn's documented evidence shows that other Bush mafiosi, such as Paul Wolfowitz, now president of the World Bank, "had already agreed that Rumsfeld should approve all but the most severe options, such as the wet towel, without restriction".
Pilger is incisive as ever! His words may make people uncomfortable - or indeed many will readily dismiss his writings - but he can't be ignored. Read the complete piece here.
