Are you familar with "project censored?" Which of the top 25 censored sotories of 2007 most surprises or

Question

interests you. I haven't read them all yet but I thought the fact that

#14- "Homeland Security Contracts KBR to Build Detention Centers in the US" to the tune of 385 million dollars (not to mention Iraq and Katrina)..Kellogg, Brown, Root (KBR) is a subsidary of Halliburton and also

#24 that "Halliburtens's stock went up 3000 percent" are interesting. What is the urgency of quickly building these detention camps on top of the 500 or 600 we already have under project Rex 84...the ones in Alaska holds into the many thousands of people...
Who are they gonna put in there...or do you find another one of the 25 centured stories more interesting. The link is http://www.projectcensored.org/censored_2007/index.htm#1

Please comment on the ones above or ones of your chosing.

that first sentence should read stories..sorry

Answer 1

Well, you forgot #2..Haliburton charged with selling nuclear technologies to Iran


#6 Federal Whistleblower Protection in Jeopardy

I think it is wrong that so few of these are investigated especially if people come forward at personal risk.

# 7 US Operatives Torture Detainees to Death in Afghanistan and Iraq

this is not good.

#8 Pentagon Exempt from Freedom of Information Act

or this..guess they don't want us to know what happened to those trillions of dollars the military "lost" or the use of DU on our troops.

#11 Dangers of Genetically Modified Food Confirmed

This bothers me as it is in so many foods and not labeled..I have researched this before and do not feel this is safe to eat.


#14 Homeland Security Contracts KBR to Build Detention Centers in the US

#20 Bottled Water: A Global Environmental Problem
This could be bad..I remember when that one city wanted to own all the water, even rainwater so people had to either buy it or die...but the people united in the streets won..

these are my picks.

I'll have to look at 2006 too.

I think the camps may be for us and what they profit off the suffering of people here and worldwide sucks.

Answer 2

I'm surprised #18 made it in. The rest of them sound much more sane, especially given the quote by Walter Cronkite endorsing the organization.

Answer 3

oh my god, is this legit? I found many of them surprising, but the one that scares me most is the following:

#8 Pentagon Exempt from Freedom of Information Act

With all of the war crimes we appear to be guilty of, how can they possibly pass this act??? Soldiers may never know if they were medically tested on. It will be harder to prove various chemical weapons were used... This is very scary to me, that our military decision makers can no longer be forced to answer for their decisions.
