Nightmares of Reason
By Salim Muwakkil
Has Rep. Cynthia McKinney been vindicated? On a Berkeley radio station in March, the Georgia Democrat called for a congressional investigation of the Bush administration, asking, “What did this administration know, and when did it know it?”
When the Israeli army entered Jenin refugee camp on April 3, it entered what it calls the "capital of the suicide bombers." What remains in the camp of 13,000 people is a scene that U.N. officials are describing as "horrific."
“What do they have do hide?” she asked KPFA’s Dennis Bernstein in that March 25 interview. “We know there were numerous warnings of the events to come on September 11.” The congresswoman was widely vilified in the national media for such statements. But in light of information that the White House had been repeatedly warned of terrorist threats before 9/11, McKinney’s questions have become among the most asked questions in the nation.

Not So Fast
By David Moberg
Despite its aura of inevitability, the juggernaut of corporate globalization has hit a rough patch. Grassroots opposition continues as the system is wracked by more widespread skeptical assessments and intensifying conflicts among governments. Even a new survey of international finance by The Economist concludes that 2001 may have marked “when two decades of mostly unbroken progress for capitalism gave way to something more ambiguous and uncertain.” The result is a moment of political opportunity for progressive critics of globalization—and a moment of risk that reactionary backlash will gain ground.

Pim’s Misfortune
By Doug Ireland
Pim Fortuyn was widely regarded in Europe as the latest in a series of political threats to democratic values. So why did this shaven-headed, openly gay dandy from a tiny country become a hero to a wide swath of American conservative and neoconservative intellectuals?
