After years of silence, Sibel Edmonds ignores the State Secrets gag order imposed by former Attorney General Ashcroft and tells her story. No US media had the ??? to help her expose the facts to the American people and the world so she went to England where this is now front page news. Here are the links:

Lieberman Leads Nukes-for-India Campaign

India would like to expand its nuclear weapons program, and Joe Lieberman think it's a terrific idea. Lieberman, during a three-day visit to India, endorsed the Bush Administration's position on India's nukes when he said:

"I will do everything I can to help see [the U.S.-India nuclear deal] through the United States Senate.''

Most of the world shudders at the thought of nuclear proliferation in India and the likely arms race that will ensue with India's neighbors China and Pakistan, as well as with Iran. In fact, the U.S. used to have the same concerns as the rest of the world, until recently:

The pact reverses three decades of American policy by allowing the U.S. to send atomic fuel and technology to India, which has never signed international nonproliferation accords and has tested atomic weapons in the past.
[...]
American critics worry about the lack of a test ban and say the deal will stymie U.S. anti-proliferation efforts, especially in Iran, by rewarding India for refusing to sign the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty. Iran has signed the accord.
