Dear George Bush and Dick Cheney, You Are Guilty of Murder: A Letter from a Dying Veteran

Wow. Lara Logan, who in 2011 was brutally beaten, raped, and almost killed by a mob of animals as she covered the "Arab spring" in Cairo for CBS News, recently spoke very bluntly about the status of what we once called the war on terror and the Obama administration's white-washing of the dangers: ...
