Hi there,

The media can be the greatest force for peace on Earth. Instead, all too often, it’s wielded as a weapon of war. That's why we have to take the media back. Thanks to a group of generous donors, all donations made today will be DOUBLED, which means your $15 gift is worth $30. With your contribution, we can continue to go to where the silence is, to bring you the voices of the silenced majority – those calling for peace in a time of war, demanding action on the climate catastrophe and advocating for racial and economic justice. Every dollar makes a difference. Thank you so much!

Correction

HeadlineOct 17, 2007

And finally, a correction: On Tuesday, we reported on comments made by retired General John Abizaid at a recent forum at Stanford University. The headline was based on an article in The Stanford Daily. The newspaper has since published a correction saying it was New York Times columnist Thomas Friedman, not General Abizaid, who said the following: “We’ve treated the Arab world as a collection of big gas stations. Our message to them is: Guys, keep your pumps open, prices low, be nice to the Israelis and you can do whatever you want out back.” At the same forum, John Abizaid admitted the war in Iraq was about oil. He said: “Of course it’s about oil, we can’t really deny that.”
