Eclipsed from the headlines by the ongoing carnage, there is an active
civil resistance in Iraq that opposes the occupation, the torture regime
it protects, and the jihadi and Ba'athist 'resistance' alike.
Republican presidential candidate John McCain's wife, Cindy, has sold more than $2 million in mutual funds with investments in companies that do business in Sudan, McCain's campaign said on Wednesday.
John McCain has been a strong advocate for imposing international financial sanctions on Sudan because of the 5-year-old Darfur conflict, in which U.N. officials estimate that as many as 300,000 people may have been killed.
McCain's campaign said Cindy McCain had been unaware that Hensley and Co., the beer distributorship that she chairs, had investments in a mutual fund whose holdings included companies that do business in Sudan.
"When she was made aware, she sold it," said McCain campaign communications director Jill Hazelbaker.
The inconvenient facts and unanswered questions surrounding the attacks are legion, but the endemic sloppiness of the self-styled "researchers" is delegitimizing the entire project of critiquing the "official version." The ostentatiously named "Truth movement" is not clearing the air, but muddying the water.
