departure of the CIA number 2 man should throw
light on the inner functioning of the U.S.
intelligence agency. Stephen Kappes, who had
already left in 2004, epitomized the most
despicable methods employed by the Agency but
couldn’t produce any convincting results to
justify them. Nevertheless, it is unlikely that
the CIA’s "old wiseman" will throw in the towel
so readily. Whatever transpires, the internal
enmities should in the long run benefit Michael
Morell, already well positioned to become the next
CIA Director. In sum, though the

the staple diet of the Filippino people for years.
But they reach a paroxysm especially when
election time comes around. While the oligarchic
factions rival each other for power, their primary
challenge arises from organized social movements
which directly threaten their sway over the
voters. While most Western media are diligent to
denounce human rights violations when it comes to
certain countries, they have turned a blind eye
to the outrageous abuses currently inflicted on
medical workers in the Philippines,

nuclear materials by terrorists intent on
manufacturing an atomic bomb. Needless to say,
considering the price of such materials, no one
would be so foolish as to let them get stolen and
hardly needs Uncle Sam for advice.

effects of the economic crisis on the developed
countries are much deeper than political pundits
would have us believe. Accordingly, in 2011, the
United States will have a public debt comparable
to its GNP. Due to population ageing in most
Western countries, forecasts say that deficits
will rise sharply, making it impossible to
reimburse the current debts. The fatal day will
arrive when creditors will want to recover their
dues and states will be plunged into bankruptcy.
Such are the conclusions of a report released by
