US military to set up in Colombia
Rest of South America has reason to be alarmed by future US military presence on Colombian bases. With the hemisphere fixated on the coup d'etat in Honduras, the Colombian military announced it would be opening up some of its military bases to be shared with the US military. This caused immediate condemnation from the leadership of Colombia's neighbors, Ecuador and Venezuela. Forrest Hylton, expert on Colombian affairs, believes that the two countries are justified in their reservations about the move, given the potential the base offers and the recent history of US surveillance activity in the region. On the other end, Hylton points out some discomforting activities in the Colombian military, an institution that is the fifth largest recipient of US military aid. With the US now seeking even deeper ties with that same military, Hylton concludes that "Colombia's increasing violations of human rights in its pursuit of counter-insurgency, doesn't seem to have any impact on the flow of US aid." therealnews.com

Health reform: dead or alive?
Ford: By excluding single payer plan, Obama allowed the right to dominate the reform debate. President Obama is pressing for a new deadline on the passage of the health care reform after it became clear that the Senate is not going to vote before the August recess. Glen Ford, the executive editor of the Black Agenda Report says the longer they wait to reform the health care system, the more likely it is that the public is going to turn against it.
