India's Sham Nuclear Liability Bill
By Toxic Watch

http://www.countercurrents.org/tw220810.htm

British Petroleum (BP) is facing a bill of up to $34 billion from the Gulf of Mexico oil spill disaster. After US senators demanded, the oil company deposited $20 billion (about Rs 92000 crores) into a ring-fenced account to meet escalating compensation costs but the way Indian legislators are agreeing to a Rs 1500 crore cap on nuclear disaster from large nuclear power plants, Rs 300 crore cap for institutions involved in reprocessing fuel and Rs 100 crore cap for small research reactors is unacceptable and condemnable


When You Say No (or: Poisonous Mushrooms)
By Uri Avnery

http://www.countercurrents.org/avnery230810.htm

Now I am more and more tempted to ask: "When you say Zionism, what do you mean?" That is also my answer when asked whether I am a Zionist. When you say Zionist, what do you mean?


The Charade Announced: Latest
Israeli No-Peace/Peace Talks For September
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman220810.htm

Another grand illusion is assured, fudged to look real. Henry Kissinger coined the phrase "constructive ambiguity," meaning to give negotiations an appearance of progress. For others, it's putting lipstick on a pig


What You Will Not Hear About Iraq
By Adil E. Shamoo

http://www.countercurrents.org/shamoo220810.htm

Iraq has between 25 and 50 percent unemployment, a dysfunctional parliament, rampant disease, an epidemic of mental illness, and sprawling slums. The killing of innocent people has become part of daily life. What a havoc the United States has wreaked in Iraq


Obama's Delusions: The Economy And Iraq
By Shamus Cooke

http://www.countercurrents.org/cooke220810.htm

If you've listened to recent speeches the President has given about the economy and the Iraq war, you'd think that two of the biggest social issues facing working Americans are improving. But facts are stubborn things


Erdogan And Israel: Glitch or Rupture?
By Assaf Adiv

http://www.countercurrents.org/adiv220810.htm

Under pressure from forces in Turkey and the US, Erdogan made an elegant policy U-turn, and went back to fighting the Kurds while taking steps towards reconciliation with Israel. This, he hopes, will reinstate him on the international stage and ensure his success in next year's elections


Pakistan's Floods: The Aftermath
By Gulam Mitha

http://www.countercurrents.org/mitha220810.htm

The floods in Pakistan have created a very scary situation but what is going to be even scarier is the aftermath as the floods recede. Preliminary assessments from sources indicates that over 20 million people have been directly or indirectly effected. Of this figure, 75% are the poor people who've lost their homes, livelihoods, live stocks and personal belongings. By last count nearly 5 million people have become homeless


Pakistan's Flood Disaster And 'War On Terror'
By Abdus Sattar Ghazali

http://www.countercurrents.org/ghazali230810.htm

Senator Kerry made clear that the objective of the US aid is humanitarian but "obviously there is a national security interest. We do not want additional jihadis, extremists, coming out of a crisis." What this means? The US aid effort is not motivated by concern for the estimated 20 million Pakistanis impacted by the floods but is driven by the need to prop up the client government of President Asif Ali Zardari, on which the US relies to wage a proxy war on militants in Pakistan's northern areas bordering Afghanistan


Hard Days In Ramadan: No Power,
No Water, Soaring Heats
By Eva Bartlett

http://www.countercurrents.org/bartlett220810.htm

"It's been days without electricity and water. We can't do anything, and it's unbearably hot now." Abu Fouad, 83, speaks of the power cuts plaguing all of the Gaza Strip. While Palestinians in Gaza have grown accustomed to power outages, a combined result of the destroyed power plant, bombed by Israeli in 2006, and the siege imposed by Israel and the international community, the blackouts have increased in frequency and duration

Kashmir: A View From The Plain
By Mustafa Khan

http://www.countercurrents.org/mkhan220810.htm

With startling disclosures it is quite possible that there would be change in the perception of truth in the plains of India. Indian civilization is much older than Kashmir and the moorings of civilization cannot be washed away by a few years of insurgency or counterinsurgency


Impact Of Curfew, Protests In Kashmir:
Poultry Farms In Punjab Hit
By Bilal Hussain

http://www.countercurrents.org/hussain220810.htm

Unabated curfew and protests from over past two months have not only resulted in shortage of poultry and mutton products in Valley but also severely shaken the poultry farming outside Kashmir particularly in Punjab and Haryana
