On Thursday, torture victim Ali al-Marri – the only "enemy combatant" held in the US – entered a coerced guilty plea in a Peoria, Illinois courthouse. 

This Sunday, May 3rd, I will be lecturing on 9/11 and the "War on Terror" in Peoria. I will be offering pre-publication review copies of my forthcoming book Questioning the War on Terror: A Primer for Obama Voters.  Author and empire critic William Blum, the thinking man's Noam Chomsky, says of Questioning the War on Terror:

Kevin Barrett is taking on a big sacred cow, one that hardly anyone in the mainstream media or in Congress would dare to seriously question – The War on Terror, which in the past eight years has joined the flag, motherhood and apple pie as things an American dares question only at the risk of being labeled "unpatriotic" or a "supporter of terrorism".  Barrett delves into many of the assumptions behind the The War on Terror: the myths, the lies, the propaganda.  The reader should be prepared to question some of his favorite political beliefs.
