Farewell to Global Eye....

Chris Floyd's farewell column is, like all his writing, worth the read. I particularly like this:

...It was immediately apparent that George W. Bush and his henchmen were going to use the "new Pearl Harbor" — which they had openly pined for, in print, before the election — to advance their long-standing agenda: "full spectrum dominance" over geopolitical affairs and world energy resources; rampant cronyism to loot the public treasury for private profit and partisan ends; a vast expansion of presidential powers, including arbitrary arrest, indefinite detention, even "extrajudicial killing" at Bush's whim; and the wanton destruction of civic society, of the very idea of a "common good" that might impinge upon the power and privilege of the wealthy elite.

He'll be moving to TruthOut.
