Stephen Zunes, AlterNet. December 1, 2008. Hillary Clinton is our new Secretary of State -- will she continue the United States' hypocrisy on human rights and the rule of law?
Michele Wucker, Women's Media Center. November 28, 2008. Clinton's task abroad would be much like the one she and Obama just faced: to turn an adversarial relationship into an alliance.
Ian Welsh, Firedoglake AlterNet: War on Iraq. November 25, 2008. What this means is simple enough, a continued draw down in Iraq and a surge in Afghanistan.
Chris Bowers, Open Left AlterNet: PEEK. November 20, 2008. There hasn't been a Democratic Defense Secretary since 1996. Why wouldn't Obama choose one now?
Norman Solomon, AlterNet. November 20, 2008. Bill Clinton's alleged lurch to the left in '92 is being used to push Obama to the right. Problem is, it never happened.
Daphne Merkin, The Daily Beast. November 20, 2008. Change may well be coming to Washington. But the public discourse about women has taken several steps backward.
David Sirota, Open Left AlterNet: PEEK. November 19, 2008. I ask this based on the Obama appointments - my back-of-the-envelope estimate is that they are 90 percent Clinton administration officials.

Molly Ivors, Whiskey Fire AlterNet: Media and Technology. September 8, 2008. MoDo brings more from the land of make believe journalism, and (as usual) the results aren't pretty.
Deeky, Shakesville AlterNet: Sex and Relationships. August 29, 2008. This isn't change I can believe in, it's the same old bullshit I've been hearing for most of my life.
Thers, Whiskey Fire AlterNet: PEEK. August 21, 2008. A victory that gets you the Presidency of the U.S. and the first woman Vice President ever ... that's not so bad.
Booman, Booman Tribune AlterNet: PEEK. August 18, 2008. With all the mutterings and musings coming from the Clinton and Obama camps I can't wait to get this stupid convention behind us.
Don Hazen, AlterNet AlterNet: PEEK. August 15, 2008. Journalism should be about afflicting the comfortable, and comforting the afflicted. Dowd just afflicts everyone.
