STUBBORN FACTS
The new print edition includes a TF investigation of Computer Sciences Corp. — new leader in military-intelligence outsourcing, plus details on 28 Washington insiders who have broken with Bush on Iraq, the startling story of a US soldier who refused to serve, and an exclusive interview with Ex-CIA analyst Ray McGovern. We also look at life inside North Korea and Iran, examine how Texas prisons restrict contact with the media, and present proposals for transnational itizenship and a democratic investment system. Plus, thoughts on collective guilt and news from around the world. Take a peek below.
