Saturday Morning (Journalism) Quarterback

The top five stories worth reading from the week in worth-reading stories

Bob Herbert has a great column on the horrific tale of Mohammed Jawad. Glenn Greenwald also writes on the suppressed information regarding the number of people tortured to death by us - America.

It will take a global recovery for a global recession.

Nate Silver has a great analysis on how arguing global warming in terms of GDP doesn't see the big picture. Reducing the world's GDP by "only" 5%, as Conservatives argue, could wipe out 44% of the world's population.

The modern world, as Kafka predicted, has become a world where lies become true. And facts alone will be powerless to thwart the mendacity spun out through billions of dollars in corporate advertising, lobbying and control of traditional sources of information.

Finally this week, Amnesty International reports that Israel used children as human shields during their assault on the people of Gaza.

My husband just bought an iPhone. We have the book to it, and we've done what it says. We hook up the USB cable, but it keeps saying the computer doesn't recognize it, or there is a malfunction. I've checked on the computer and it says the port is working fine. Is there some reason why our windows media player won't put the songs on there?
