Prof. Francis Boyle who teaches law at U of Illinois in Urbana gave a speech on the war on October 18th. I audited a class Boyle taught on international law and he testified at my disciplinary hearing when I was arrested at an anti-apartheid protest (Jeff Machoda who is mentioned in the opening remarks was arrested at the same time, and Joe Miller was my political science advisor and I took a course on the Vietnam War from him).


Noam Chomsky also gave a speech on October 18th. You can listen in real audio or read the transcript.

The coverage in some British papers is far more critical than in U.S. media. There are stories like Families blown apart, infants dying. in the Independent. Robert Fisk has been writing some of the strongest pieces, including this one.


Fisk, who has interviewed bin Laden, recently wrote wrote, "Only a month ago, the photo-editors of Time magazine asked to buy for a possible front cover one of my snapshots of Mr bin Laden which I took in
one of his desert camps in Afghanistan in 1996 and then announced that
they
intended to "age" the photo digitally to make the world's bete noir
look
older. I told Time to go jump in the lake. No photo."


The Guardian has also been providing critical coverage and commentary including this story on critical questions of Tony Blair by anti-war MPs.

Political cartoonist Herblock has died at the age of 91. The Washington Post has a tribute to him featuring over five decades of work. The last cartoon they have from August 26th seems from another era.

KPFA is providing special coverage (and it is also streaming online).


Aaron Barnhart is writing about the media coverage on TVBarn. I'll probably start contributing again tomorrow. Danny Schecter is also writing about the coverage and there should be more coverage by tomorrow on the Mediachannel.


Other sources for information include commondreams, Newsforchange, Indymedia and alternet. I'll add to this list later.


Robert Fisk's articles for the Independent are definately worth reading.
