One way and another, a resurgent Turkey is rewriting the rules of the power game in the Middle East, in a positive and non-confrontational manner. This is one of the few bright spots in a turbulent and highly-inflammable Middle East, says Patrick Seale.

The idea that Osama bin Laden was responsible for the 9/11 attacks has been an article of faith for public officials and the mainstream media. Calling it an “article of faith” points to two features of this idea. On the one hand, no one in these circles publicly challenges this idea.

Thank your lucky stars to be alive on Earth at this time. Our planet is usually in a deep freeze. The last million years have cycled through Ice Ages that last about 100,000 years each, with warmer slivers of about 10,000 years in between.

Vous pensez être informé sur ce qui s’est passé à Guantánamo et vous vous étonnez que le président Obama n’arrive pas à fermer ce centre de torture. Vous avez tort. Vous ignorez la véritable finalité de ce dispositif et ce qui le rend indispensable à l’administration actuelle.
Attention : si vous souhaitez continuer à penser que nous avons des valeurs communes avec les États-Unis et que nous devons être alliés avec eux, abstenez-vous de lire cet article.
Chacun se souvient de ces photographies de tortures qui circulaient sur Internet. Elles étaient présentées comme les trophées de guerre de quelques GI’s. Néanmoins, les grands médias, ne pouvant en vérifier l’authenticité, n’osaient pas les reproduire. En 2004, la chaîne CBS y consacra un reportage. Ce fut le signal d’un grand mouvement de dénonciation des mauvais traitements infligés aux Irakiens. La prison d’Abu Ghraib montrait que la prétendue guerre contre la dictature de Saddam Hussein était en réalité une guerre d’occupation comme les autres, avec le même cortège de crimes. Sans surprise, Washington assura qu’il s’agissait d’exactions perpétrées à l’insu du commandement par quelques individus non-représentatifs, qualifiés de « pommes pourries ». Quelques soldats furent arrêtés et jugés pour l’exemple. Le dossier était clos jusqu’aux prochaines révélations.
