We'll put a torch to New York
North Korea would launch a ballistic missile attack on the United States if Washington made a pre-emptive strike against the communist state's nuclear facility, the man described as Pyongyang's "unofficial spokesman" claimed yesterday.
Kim Myong-chol, who has links to the Stalinist regime, told reporters in Tokyo that a US strike on the nuclear facility at Yongbyon "means nuclear war".

Going Off to War Supplied With Lies
"War whore" is the name. They’re the ladies and gentlemen of the media who whoop, holler and thigh-slap the United States into war. Day in and day out, hour after hour, on the TV news channels in particular, they tingle with happy excitement as they strain to infect their viewers (and somewhat less often, their readers) with their enthusiasm for the looming death and disfigurement of others.

Propaganda War: One Year Later
The Selling of America
Shortly after 9-11, GNN asked Dr. Nancy Snow, author of Propaganda, Inc.: Selling America’s Culture to the World, to explain how the U.S. propaganda machine really works. Dr. Snow, a former cultural officer with the United States Information Agency, should know. She worked in the belly of the beast. Since our last conversation, the war of words and images has intensified, with Osama's jihad tapes and American music videos going head to head in a battle royale for the hearts and minds of the world. Now Dr. Snow has just published the 2nd edition of Propaganda, Inc. (Seven Stories Press, 2002) and a forthcoming second book, Information War: American Propaganda, Opinion Control and Free Speech Since 9/11 (Seven Stories Press, 2003). She shares thoughts on how the propaganda war has played out since that dark September day.

The Pentagon's New Map
Since the end of the cold war, the United States has been trying to come up with an operating theory of the world—and a military strategy to accompany it. Now there’s a leading contender. It involves identifying the problem parts of the world and aggressively shrinking them. Since September 11, 2001, the author, a professor of warfare analysis, has been advising the Office of the Secretary of Defense and giving this briefing continually at the Pentagon and in the intelligence community. Now he gives it to you.

Britain's dirty secret
A chemical plant which the US says is a key component in Iraq's chemical warfare arsenal was secretly built by Britain in 1985 behind the backs of the Americans, the Guardian can disclose.
Documents show British ministers knew at the time that the £14m plant, called Falluja 2, was likely to be used for mustard and nerve gas production.

Hippie Crap Saves The World
Can better orgasms and upping your personal vibe really thwart BushCo idiocy?
Wanna know what conservatives really hate?
What makes everyone from harmless GOP dittoheads to ultra-right-wing nutjobs full of rage and hiss and homophobia and blind jingoism roll their eyes and throw up their hands and scamper for their Bibles for reassurance that life is still repressed and we're still going to war and Dubya is still smackin' 'round the envurment along with them wimmin and homosekshuls and furriners?

Sea Lions Play Secret Agent Overseas
The United States could field some unusual stealth weapons in its crusade against Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein: a battalion of sea lions and dolphins trained as U.S. secret agents.
The military mammals, trained under a special scheme in the California city of San Diego, can play a key role in defending fleets from attacks during war and preventing terrorism at home, their trainers told AFP on Monday.
The U.S. Navy's Marine Mammal Program boasts a unit of 20 crack sea lions as well as about 70 dolphins also specially-trained to defend US sailors and installations from explosive marine attacks.
