Deja Vu, All Over Again

Dancers Land in Iraq. Marines Offer No Resistance. - New York Times. "One by one, the marines took the stage for one of the most coveted photo opportunities of the war. Tanea sat on a knee of an eager marine while Laurie rested on the other.

Hands on their miniskirted hips, Amber and Renee posed at each side. Dani stood behind and held the marine’s rifle as the camera snapped the photo. Some of the young marines who lined up for the memento were so mesmerized by the experience that they had to be reminded not to leave their weapons behind." - Michael R. Gordon, NYT; Photograph by Jim Wilson, NYT

Too Close To Home I FINALLY saw V for Vendetta over the weekend on DVD.


Now I understand why so many people (critics) had a problem with this movie.

Its not that its bad, its actually very, very good.

In these days of silence to the truth, however, it cuts way to close to the bone and makes people uncomfortable.

I think more people need to be uncomfortable about what is going on in the world today.

Art Speaking Out Holiday Guilty Pleasure
Originally uploaded by Burnt Pixel.

Simply put, Brian Wood is the bomb! Graphic novels, comics, whatever you want to call them; his work stands at the top for its relevant storytelling ability. Channel Zero, his 1997 masterpiece about a "Patriot Act-ed" society gone bad, was prophetic, but only the warm up act!

His most recent work, Supermarket, Local and DMZ speak to us about the world we live in today with a clarity and directness missing from almost all other art forms.

Do yourself a favor and DO NOT MISS THESE!

Losing Hearts, Minds and the War.

Ex-Soldier Charged in Killing of Iraqi Family.

A former U.S. Army soldier was charged yesterday with the rape and murder of a young Iraqi woman and the slayings of three of her family members in their home south of Baghdad in March, federal prosecutors said.

Several soldiers allegedly planned the attack over drinks after noticing the woman near the traffic checkpoint they manned in Mahmudiyah, according to a criminal complaint filed in U.S. District Court for the Western District of Kentucky. The soldiers allegedly worked out an elaborate plan to carry out the crime and then cover it up, wearing dark clothes to the home, using an AK-47 assault rifle from the house to kill the family, and allowing authorities to believe that the attack was carried out by insurgents, investigators said. ~ Josh White, TWP

Things Fall Apart

Hamas Fires Rockets at Israel After Calling Off Truce - New York Times. "The ruling Hamas group fired a barrage of homemade rockets at Israel on Saturday, hours after calling off a truce with Israel in anger over an artillery attack that killed seven civilians at a beachside picnic in the Gaza Strip, according to Associated Press reports.

The end of the truce raised the prospect of a new wave of bloodshed and the resumption of suicide attacks that Hamas had suspended since reaching the cease-fire in February 2005."
