The Air Force's top leadership sought for three years to spend 
counterterrorism funds on "comfort capsules" to be installed on military 
planes that ferry senior officers and civilian leaders around the world, 
with at least four top generals involved in design details such as the 
color of the capsules' carpet and leather chairs.

Friday, 18 July 2008 12:06

HONOLULU (AP) — The Army says it's critical to saving the lives of 
wounded soldiers. Animal-rights activists call the training cruel and 
outdated.

Despite opposition by the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, 
the Army is moving forward with its plan to shoot live pigs and treat 
their gunshot wounds in a medical trauma exercise Friday at Schofield 
Barracks for soldiers headed to Iraq.

Friday, 18 July 2008 11:56

BAGHDAD (AP) -- Iraq's government hopes to bring the entire country 
under its security control by year's end. But one critical area stands 
in the way: the western province of Anbar, where the Sunni insurgency 
was born and later received its first blows from a civil uprising.

One in Four Americans is Obese
Friday, 18 July 2008 10:31

The obesity rate in the U.S. went up again. While this may fall solidly 
into the dog-bites-man category of unsurprising news, the latest figure 
— 25.6% — puts us across a threshold: For the first time, according to 
an ongoing federal survey, more than one in four Americans is obese.

  As Price of Grain Rises, Catfish Farms Dry Up
Friday, 18 July 2008 09:59

Corn and soybeans have nearly tripled in price in the last two years, 
for many reasons: harvest shortfalls, increasing demand by the Asian 
middle class, government mandates for corn to produce ethanol and, most 
recently, the flooding in the Midwest.

This is creating a bonanza for corn and soybean farmers but is wreaking 
havoc on consumers, who are seeing price spikes in the grocery store and 
in restaurants. Hog and chicken producers as well as cattle ranchers, 
all of whom depend on grain for feed, are being severely squeezed.

Destroys Benefits
Friday, 18 July 2008 09:52

Eating as little as three small servings of raw cruciferous vegetables 
per month, such as broccoli and cabbage, has been found to decrease the 
risk of developing bladder cancer by an astonishing 40 percent. This was 
discovered by researchers from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute in 
Buffalo. The study is only one of several that have recently added to 
the evidence that raw fruits and vegetables dramatically lower cancer risk.

Fitzgerald says Rove was trying to fire him during CIA leak probe
Friday, 18 July 2008 09:48

In a supplement to his responses to the House Judiciary Committee, 
Patrick Fitzgerald confirms what we've always suspected: Karl Rove was 
trying to have Patrick Fitzgerald fired while Fitzgerald was still 
investigating Rove for his role in leaking Valerie Wilson's 
identity--and the timing lines up perfectly with the Administration's 
efforts to fire a bunch of US Attorneys.

Little War Criminals Get Punished, Big Ones Don’t
Friday, 18 July 2008 09:40

Bush and Blair’s crimes against humanity in Iraq and Afghanistan dwarf, 
at least in the number of deaths and displaced persons, the terrible 
situation in Darfur. The highest estimate of Darfur casualties is 
400,000, one-third the number of Iraqis who have died as a result of 
Bush’s invasion. Moreover, the conflict in the Sudan is an internal one, 
whereas Bush illegally invaded two foreign countries, war crimes under 
the Nuremberg Standard. Bush’s war crimes were enabled by the political 
leaders of the UK, Spain, Canada, and Australia. The leaders of every 
member of the "coalition of the willing to commit war crimes" are 
candidates for the dock.

But of course the Great Moral West does not commit war crimes. War 
crimes are charges fobbed off on people demonized by the Western media, 
such as the Serbian Milosevic and the Sudanese al-Bashir.
