Investigative journalist Robert Parry broke many of the Iran-Contra stories for The Associated Press and Newsweek in the 1980s.

He saw it as a way to combine modern technology and old-fashioned journalism to counter the increasing triviality of the mainstream US news media.

Torture
US/Foreign policy
Americans are encouraged to unquestioningly view their country and its soldiers as the "good guys" spreading “democracy” and “liberty” around the world. When the US inflicts death and destruction, it’s viewed as a mistake or an aberration. This article reviews the long history of these acts of brutality, a record that suggests they are neither a “mistake” nor an “aberration” but a conscious counterinsurgency doctrine on the "dark side".
