Iraq: Torture. Corruption. Civil War.
America Has Certainly Left Its Mark
By Robert Fisk

http://www.countercurrents.org/fisk210810.htm

We should not be taken in by the tomfoolery on the Kuwaiti border in the last few hours, the departure of the last "combat" troops from Iraq two weeks ahead of schedule. Nor by the infantile cries of "We won" from teenage soldiers. They are leaving behind 50,000 men and women - a third of the entire US occupation force - who will be attacked and who will still have to fight against the insurgency

Continuing Crisis

After a two-day session of the UN General Assembly ended yesterday, the amount of international aid pledged for Pakistani flood victims still fell well short of the $US460 million in emergency aid that the UN has appealed for.

More Than Just An Arrest
By Nagarik Mancha

http://www.countercurrents.org/mancha210810.htm

On 17th August 2010, social activist and our General Secretary, Naba Dutta, had been arrested from West Medinipur.

Australia's Sham Elections
By Ghali Hassan

http://www.countercurrents.org/hassan210810.htm

In a nation prides itself of being a "tolerant" and a "fair go" nation, one expects the candidates campaigning for Prime Minister position will be concerned with the Australia's complicity in illegal imperialist wars, equality and the environment. Sadly, both candidates are playing the race card, because racism is deeply-entrenched in white Australia
