Guerrilla News Network: Do you have any hope for the future of journalism?
For the second time, Guerrilla News Network, a new alternative news organization with the goal to exposé a younger audience to important global issues honored Greg Palast as Guerrilla of the Week. Greg’s interview with their executive editor took place November 16, 2001.
On 15 February, for BBC TV, I reported that inside information from the Consortium of newspapers conducting a thorough review of Florida’s 180,000 uncounted ballots showed Gore picking up about 20,000 votes. The information came from sources involved with the newspaper group’s contractor, National Opinion Research Center of the University of Chicago.
I’m sure the final was not far off – but understand that NORC did not designate ANY ballot as either a Bush or Gore vote.

GREG PALAST: The CIA and Saudi Arabia, the Bushes and the Bin Ladens. Did their connections cause America to turn a blind eye to terrorism?
Inside Corporate America
After the attack on the World Trade Center, some enterprising hucksters here in New York tried to sell little bags of ashes to victims families, supposedly of their missing kin.
The stomach-churning commercialization of mass murder didn’t bottom out there. Barely had the towers hit the ground when U.S. Trade Representative Robert Zoellick proclaimed the way to defeat Osama bin Laden was to grant George W. Bush extraordinary ‘fast-track’ trade treaty negotiating authority. Ambassador bin Zoellick, speaking from what looked like a cave on Capitol Hill, surrounded by unidentified Republicans, said Americans had to choose: stand up for free trade or for terrorism.

“Den har dömt människor till döden”, berättade världsbankens förre apparatchik för mig. Det var som en scen frÃ¥n Le Carre. Den mästerlige gamle agenten kommer in frÃ¥n kylan, hoppar över till vÃ¥r sida, och under nÃ¥gra timmars debriefing berättar han om sina minnen av illdÃ¥d begÃ¥gna för en politisk ideologi han nu inser blivit rutten.
