AlterNet Headlines
Brief summaries of leading stories from AlterNet -- the
independent news and syndication service -- for September 12, 2001.
http://www.alternet.org


Given Tuesday's horrific and historic events, AlterNet's Headlines
this week are devoted almost exclusively to coverage of the 9-11
terrorist attacks.

AlterNet believes that millions of Americans, while outraged and
disgusted, are wary of the vengeful rhetoric that many politicians
and pundits have adopted. Therefore, we have put together a series
of articles to provoke thoughtful debate and healing, rather than
hasty scapegoating and revenge.

We urge you to forward these Headlines to your friends, family and
co-workers, and to post AlterNet's stories to any message boards
or listservs in which you participate -- use us to provide some
balance and perspective in the media landscape. And come back to
the site often; we will be posting new articles and essays daily.


AFTER 9-11, WE ALL HAVE NEW BATTLES TO FIGHT
Geov Parrish, AlterNet
The political left has an enormous amount of work to do -- right
now, today, immediately -- to prevent our government from making
a bad situation much, much worse.
http://www.alternet.org

BUSH, THE CIA AND THE ROOTS OF TERRORISM
Michael Moore, AlterNet
Let's mourn and grieve, but let's also examine our own
contribution to our unsafe world -- be it lax airport security
or the CIA training the terrorists who attack us.
http://www.alternet.org

HUNT, NOT WITCHHUNT, FOR TERRORISTS
Earl Ofari Hutchinson, AlterNet
President Bush and the media's finger pointing at the Islamic
world has stirred fresh tremors that a new wave of Arab-
American bashing could be in the making.
http://www.alternet.org

HIDING IN BROOKLYN: AFGHAN AMERICAN FEARS FOR SAFETY
Fariba Nawa, Pacific News Service
An Afghan-American writer living in Brooklyn wonders what
might happen when officers sent to prevent a racial backlash
against Arabs leave her neighborhood.
http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=11482

A TIME FOR PEACE, NOT RETALIATION
Elijah Wald, TomPaine.com
If there is one lesson in today's World Trade Center tragedy, it
is that tougher security measures will not prevent future terrorist
acts. Only peaceful policies will.
http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=11469

UNDERSTANDING OSAMA BIN LADEN
William O. Beeman, Pacific News Service
The media is pointing fingers at Osama bin Laden, but the
causes of his anger are rarely discussed. Here is why he and
his followers hate the U.S. so violently.
http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=11487

GROUND ZERO AT THE PENTAGON
Jason Vest, AlterNet
Joe Vallone, the U.S. Army's environmental technology chief,
crossed the threshold of his office in Corridor 5 of the
Pentagon's D ring a few minutes shy of 8 Monday morning...
http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=11477

THE BASTARDS!
Alisa Solomon, Village Voice
"Arms, legs. Parts of people. They were falling on my head,"
said one worker at the World Trade Center. An eyewitness
account of the violence.
http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=11465

WILL SEPTEMBER 11 CHANGE EVERYTHING? OUR READERS RESPOND
While the news media pumps out coverage of the attacks in
New York and DC, AlterNet readers are speculating about our
nation's future. Should we expect war? Domestic lockdown? What?
http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=11472

** REPORT OF THE WEEK: U.S. Policy Toward Political Islam
Stephen Zunes, Foreign Policy in Focus
Washington has used the threat of Islamic fundamentalism as a
justification for keeping a high military, economic and political
profile in the Middle East. Yet it has often supported Muslim
hardliners when they were perceived to enhance U.S. interests.
http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=11479

BUSH'S DEAL WITH THE TALIBAN
Robert Scheer, LA Times
The Bush administration became the main sponsor of the Taliban
when it rewarded the regime with $43 million. All the Taliban had
to do was declare that opium growing is against the will of God.
* In DrugReporter: http://www.alternet.org/?IssueAreaID=17

"AMERICA UNDER ATTACK": GUILTY OR NOT, HERE WE COME
Danny Schechter, MediaChannel.org
Most Americans spent September 11 glued to their television
sets, trying to understand. But amid the grim footage and
"expert" interviews, many of the most pressing questions were
never addressed.
* In MediaCulture: http://www.alternet.org/?IssueAreaID=19

A MESSAGE FROM THE GLOBAL SOUTH
Saskia Sassen, Guardian of London
We may think that the debt and growing poverty in the south
have nothing to do with the violence in New York and Washington.
But they do.
* In Globalization: http://www.alternet.org/?IssueAreaID=21

HOW DURBAN SUCCEEDED
Dani McClain, AlterNet
Despite pessimistic coverage of the World Conference Against
Racism, something very meaningful took place. Namely, the
coming together of human rights activists from all over the world.
* In Human Rights: http://www.alternet.org/?IssueAreaID=22

THE PERVERSE SUBSIDIES OF FOSSIL FUELS
Norman Myers and Jennifer Kent, TomPaine
Our indirect subsidies of fossil fuels -- about $200 billion a
year -- costs us dearly in many ways, including degraded health,
a polluted environment, and lost agricultural yield.
* In EnviroHealth: http://www.alternet.org/?IssueAreaID=22

GARCIA: REVENGE WOULD EXPOSE U.S. VULNERABILITY
James E. Garcia, PoliticoMagazine.com
U.S. revenge on those responsible for Tuesday's tragedy will
only widen the country's wounds and fuel hatred for America.
http://www.alternet.org/story.html?StoryID=11483
