Armed Madhouse

I take back my hasty comment about Palast's Armed Madhouse from Ch 1- he was engaging the audience as authors seeking US approval must. There are some interesting articles explaining views of the Iraq invasion and Chavez hatred in terms of peak oil, which are reconsidered at the end. Worth reading. It's the chapters concerning the theft of 2000 and 2004 elections that are probably the most accessible and readable. Greg explains that you don't even need Black Box technology to bias a close-run election, just a few key people on-side and a knowledge of race/class voting correlates.
