I don't know if I've ever shared this link with y'all. It's a good one. It's a news service run by one man who gathers articles about the war and U.S. foreign policy from U.S. and international sources that don't usually get much air time in the U.S.
In today's edition alone, you can read about a U.S. Marine who says that his unit was killing unarmed civilians in Iraq (reported by the Agence France-Presse), a British lawyer who accuses Britain of being complicit in the torture at Guantanamo Bay (reported by the Telegraph), and a Boston Globe editorial comparing the mistreatment at Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib to the internment of Japanese-American during World War II.
The website has a daily e-newsletter that you can subscribe to. I recommend reading it at least three times a week. You'll get the word on some of these things before the New York Times reporters do.

He ends each newsletter with this quote from John Adams: "Liberty can not be preserved without general knowledge among people" (August 1765). It's disheartening that we're not getting good information from many mainstream news sources, but there are alternatives out there.
