Editor's Note: One shortcoming in our effort to publish more and
more articles is that some special stories fly by without getting
the attention they deserve. So, periodically, we'll publish this
"in case you missed it" feature with links to stories that we feel
fall into this category.

"Reagan's Bargain/Charlie Wilson's War" by former CIA analyst Peter
W. Dickson, describing how the Reagan administration turned a blind
eye toward Pakistan's development of a nuclear bomb in exchange for
helping Islamic fundamentalists wage a jihad against Soviet forces
in Afghanistan.(http://www.consortiumnews.com/2008/010608a.html)

"Obama's Dubious Praise for Reagan" by Robert Parry, who covered
the Reagan administration for the Associated Press and Newsweek.
This article contrasts Obama's favorable comments about Ronald
Reagan as an agent for accountability against the Republican icon's
real record. http://consortiumnews.com/2008/011908.html)

(Also, see Parry's "The Clinton Audacity,"
(http://consortiumnews.com/2008/012508.html) which looks at similar
behavior from Hillary and Bill Clinton, and "Where Would Obama Take
the Nation?" (http://consortiumnews.com/2008/020408.html))

"Pakistan's Bomb, U.S. Cover-up" by Pentagon Papers whistleblower
Daniel Ellsberg, who criticizes the U.S. news media for ignoring
allegations from former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds.
(http://consortiumnews.com/2008/012208a.html)

"Tet Plus 40: US-Vietnam Turning Point" by former ABC war correspondent
Don North, who covered the Tet assault on the U.S. Embassy in Saigon
in 1968 and has continued piecing together the full story over the
past four decades, including accounts from the Vietcong side.

"Iniquities of War, Inequities of Life" by former CIA analyst Ray
McGovern, who describes how his bout with cancer has influenced his
view of the grotesque injustice of war and the more mundane injustice
of American medical care. (http://consortiumnews.com/2008/013108a.html)
