Mamdouh Ahmed Habib, a dual Australian-Egyptian national, was detained in Pakistan…

Julia Conley, staff writer | commondreams.org | 2019-10-17
John Yoo, the former Justice Department official who became infamous for authoring the "torture memos" during the George W. Bush administration, provoked ridicule on Thursday after he spoke on behalf of the framers of the U.S. Constitution—suggesting they would object to the impeachment inquiry against President Donald Trump. | www.commondreams.org/sites/default/files/styles/cd_special_coverage/public/headline/thumbs/7366169750_53f2abb592_o.png …

Staff | therealnews.com | 2019-10-16

rt.com | 2019-10-15
