U.S. imperialism’s crimes against the
Iraqi people are so great that no amount of lying in the corporate media can
wipe them out. That doesn’t stop these manufacturers of instant
misinformation from trying. They have hypocritically presented a patently
fraudulent election, held under an occupying power and administered by a puppet
regime, as a sterling example of democracy and courage.
There are still nearly 100,000 U.S. troops in Iraq seven years after the
illegal aggression, plus an equal number of “contractors” —

Washington or other regional centers on March 20 to make their voices as strong

remind the prosecutor and the judge of the Whitbys’ widespread community
support....

Cold winds didn’t stop people from commemorating the 10th anniversary of
Malcolm Ferguson’s assassination by New York City police. Supporters
gathered in the evening of March 1 outside the Bronx home of Juanita Young,
Ferguson’s mother....
On March 4 more than 100 demonstrations were organized in 33 states against
the devastating cuts, layoffs and tuition hikes as part of the National Day of

Maryland and University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign....
Hundreds of thousands of students, teachers and other education
workers demonstrated, rallied, sat in and marched across the United States on
March 4. Protesting cuts in education budgets and layoffs, they raised the
