 * The tragic consulate killings in Libya and America's hierarchy of human life - The murder of American staff over a hate film is an unmitigated wrong. But so are deaths caused by the US that go unremarked - 13 September
 * Another Guantánamo prisoner death highlights Democrats' hypocrisy - With closing Guantánamo given up as a lost cause, Obama's policy has moved onto assassination rather than detention - 12 September
 * America's refusal to extradite Bolivia's ex-president to face genocide charges - Obama justice officials have all but granted asylum to Sánchez de Lozada – a puppet who payrolled key Democratic advisers - 9 September

 * Obama campaign brags about its whistleblower persecutions - Excuse me if I don't join in Democrats' sycophantic cheerleading for an Obama presidency that has shredded laws and liberties - 5 September
 * CNN and the business of state-sponsored TV news - The network is seriously compromising its journalism in the Gulf states by blurring the line between advertising and editorial - 4 September
 * Obama's justice department grants final immunity to Bush's CIA torturers - By closing two cases of detainees tortured to death, Obama has put the US beyond any accountability under the rule of law - 31 August
 * Election 2012 and the media: a vast rightwing conspiracy of stupid - CNN's failure to question Paul Ryan's falsehoods is emblematic of the idiot wind blowing through American electoral politics - 31 August

 * Correspondence and collusion between the New York Times and the CIA - Mark Mazzetti's emails with the CIA expose the degradation of journalism that has lost the imperative to be a check to power - 29 August
 * How the US and Israeli justice systems whitewash state crimes - Courts are supposed to check the abuse of executive power, not cravenly serve it. But in the US and Israel, that is now the case - 28 August
 * Film highlights the temptations and perils of blind obedience to authority - Indie film Compliance recalls notions that the past decade's worst events are explained by failures to oppose authority - 26 August
 * MSNBC host mimics Fox News' bullying jingoism - Out-Foxing Fox for phony patriotism, a senior journalist at the liberal network has outlawed any criticism of military officials - 24 August
 * The New Statesman must correct its error over Assange and extradition - The claim that Swedish courts, not government, have final say on extradition is a crucial mistake that distorts the Assange case - 24 August
 * The Bin Laden raid exposes the Obama administration's selective secrecy - The White House punishes whistleblowers even as it permits flattering leaks. So which will it be for a Navy Seal's new book? - 23 August
 * The bizarre, unhealthy, blinding media contempt for Julian Assange - It is possible to protect the rights of the complainants in Sweden and Assange's rights against political persecution, but a vindictive thirst for vengeance is preventing that - 22 August
 * Human rights critics of Russia and Ecuador parade their own hypocrisy - The media's new converts to civic freedom over the Pussy Riot and Assange asylum affairs show a jingoism blind to US abuses - 21 August

 * Obama's historic affirmation of same-sex marriage - Not 20 years ago, same-sex marriage was a fringe issue, almost unthinkable. That it now has presidential support is epochal - 10 May
 * Afghanistan and American imperialism - Afghans have been excluded from the judicial process after the shooting that left 16 dead. No wonder anti-US feeling is growing - 19 March
