Military Planning Continues As Divisions Mount Over Libyan Intervention
By Ann Talbot

http://www.countercurrents.org/talbot040311.htm

Sharp divisions within ruling circles have not halted the military preparations for an attack on Libya. This is despite very public disputes over the advisability of military intervention within the Obama administration, in European governments and between European Union member states, on the UN Security Council and among the Arab regimes


Libya, Getting It Right: A Revolutionary
Pan-African Perspective
By Gerald A. Perreira

http://www.countercurrents.org/perreira040311.htm

The conflict in Libya is not a revolution, but a counter-revolution. The struggle "is fundamentally a battle between Pan-African forces on the one hand, who are dedicated to the realization of Qaddafi's vision of a united Africa, and reactionary racist Libyan Arab forces who reject Qaddafi's vision of Libya as part of a united Africa." The so-called Black African "mercenaries" are misnamed. "As a result of Libya's support for liberation movements throughout Africa and the world, international battalions were formed" which are part of the Libyan armed forces


Bradley Manning Stripped Naked Again
By David E. Coombs

http://www.countercurrents.org/coombs04031.htm

PFC Manning was forced to strip naked in his cell again last night. As with the previous evening, Quantico Brig guards required him to surrender all of his clothing. PFC Manning then walked back to his bed, and spent the next seven hours in humiliation


Is Bradley Manning Being Treated Like
A Guantanamo Detainee?
By WikiLeaks

http://www.countercurrents.org/wl040311.htm

Since being put in the brig, the military has sought to break the spirit of Manning. David House, a close friend and frequent visitor at Quantico, described visiting Manning and how in the last months he has gone from someone who could carry a conversation to a person who is in an utterly catatonic state


Tim DeChristopher: Taking A Leap  And Pointing The Way
By Bill McKibben

http://www.countercurrents.org/mckibben040311.htm

So far, no bankers have been charged, despite the unmitigated greed that nearly brought the world economy down. No coal or oil execs have been charged, despite fouling the entire atmosphere and putting civilization as we know it at risk. But engage in creative protest that mildly disrupts the efficient sell-off of our landscape to oil and gas barons? As Tim DeChristopher found out on Thursday, that'll get you not just a week in court, but potentially a long stretch in the pen


The Beacon That Is Israel:
Self-serving By Delay And Denial
By William A. Cook

http://www.countercurrents.org/cook040311.htm

This beacon that is Israel sheds its light on the mid-east as a nation that accepts no sister nations ruled by a religion except Israel; rules by defiance of International Law while hypocritically demanding all sister nations abide by the United Nations' Universal Declaration of Human Rights


Mixed Messages: Arabs Challenge Israeli Hasbara
By Ramzy Baroud

http://www.countercurrents.org/baroud040311.htm

If a multi-million dollar campaign to hide or 'explain' the bloodbath wrought by Israel in Gaza in 2008-09 have largely failed, Israel cannot possibly succeed in hiding the fact that it is no longer the 'only democracy in the Arab world' - or that it was ever a true democracy to begin with


Reactionary Extremism In Wisconsin And Ohio
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman040311A.htm

It's spreading nationally under Republican and Democrat administrations, but Wisconsin and Ohio are key battleground states. Wisconsin especially - ground zero to save organized labor, on the chopping block to be weakened ahead of eliminating it altogether, returning America to 19th century harshness


Our Man In Pakistan
By Stephen Lendman

http://www.countercurrents.org/lendman040311B.htm

Washington officials are so certain they can pressure Pakistan to release Davis that they won't agree to exchange Dr. Aafia Siddiqui for him. Imperial arrogance knows no bounds. America demands and expects obedience


Is India's GDP Growth For Real?
By Devinder Sharma

http://www.countercurrents.org/dsharma040311.htm

I don't understand how can the fluctuation in foodgrain production resulting from weather aberration be construed as growth? More importantly, why are the distinguished economists, and there are a dime a dozen of them, point out this serious flaw in the estimates of farm growth?


Police State
By Prabhat Sharan

http://www.countercurrents.org/sharan040311.htm

Going by the statements made by Indian political leaders regarding an agitation against a nuclear power plant in Jaitapur, Maharashtra, it seems that people's voice, aspirations, livelihoods and shared memories does not matter much to the rulers. Nobody in the region has any faith in the Indian state and that is why we are seeking an independent committee to look into the issue


Truth Suppression Tactics
By Vikram Jadav

http://www.countercurrents.org/jadav040311.htm

Villagers and activists are arrested for mustering their protest against nuclear project in Jaitapur, Maharashtra


Censorship At Many Levels
By Robert Glenn Ketchum

http://www.countercurrents.org/ketchum040311.htm

I appreciate newspress concerns about David Wojnarowicz's censorship, yet there is a history of this behavior at the Smithsonian for which the public needs to be made more aware. Censorship is a threat to all forms of artistic expression and I do not want to think that it is only considered significant at certain museums and about certain artists but irrelevant at "other" museums, and artists the authors may think less of
