Democrats Coalesce – FINALLY! – Around Plans to Withdraw
The House and Senate resolutions on Iraq that the party leadership introduced on March 8th are historic for two reasons: (a) Congress would finally use its power of the purse to bring our troops home – after the President has made it clear that he won’t listen to a “non-binding” resolution, and (b) it sets an actual deadline to get out of Iraq.

Birdseye: Jeppesen DataPlan
Jeppesen Dataplan is a 100 employee flight logistics company in San Jose that played a major role in planning the CIA extraordinary rendition flights carried out during 2003-2006. Many of the terror suspects transported to secret prisons where torture was allowed were a complete case of mistaken identity, or were of low intelligence value.
The San Francisco Bay area has dozens of physical locations on the map where war profiteering, unethical military contracting, and unaccountable gov...

Its niche in the sphere of military manufacturing is of a subcontractor designing electronics for many of the other large manufacturers.

It's the last volume in his Blowback trilogy, following the best-selling "Blowback" and "The Sorrows of Empire." In those two, Johnson argued American clandestine and military activity has led to un-intended, but direct disaster here in the United States....
