Naomi Klein on Haiti: It was only 10 years ago that President Clinton celebrated Aristide's return to power as "the triumph of freedom over fear". So it seems worth asking: what changed?

"Privitisation, privitisation, privitization..."

Personally, I'm getting sick and tired of this fetishization (is that a word?) of the "free market". AFAIC, that's what has us in this mess in Iraq. This administration doesn't want the world safe for democracy. They want it to be safe for business. I don't believe they really give a rat's patootie for freedom, liberty, justice, democracy, etc. They're just true believers performing their ritual sacrifices at the alter of capitalism.
