Themes and opinions

There have been a number of consistent themes in Cockburn's political writing, among them:

• Outspoken criticism of US foreign policy, from its policies in Central America in the 1980s, including the Iran-contra scandal, to the First Gulf War in 1991, the Kosovo War in 1999, and the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 and 2003 invasion of Iraq. The term Kosovo War or Kosovo Conflict is often used to describe two sequential and at times parallel armed conflicts in Kosovo: 1996–1999 The War in Afghanistan, which began on October 7 2001 as the U The 2003 invasion of Iraq, from March 20 to May 1 2003 was spearheaded by the United States, backed by British forces and smaller contingents from Australia
• Criticism of the government of Israel based on its treatment of the Palestinians. For a topic outline on this subject see List of basic Israel topics. Palestinian people or Palestinians ( الشعب الفلسطيني, ash-sha`b al-filasTīni; الفلسطينيون, al-filasTīnīyyūn
• Calls for political reform in the United States, mostly focused on criticizing the Democratic Party for failing to provide a progressive alternative to the Republican Party, as well as strong support for Ralph Nader's presidential candidacies in the 2000 and 2004 elections. The Democratic Party is one of two major Political parties in the United States, the other being the Republican Party. In US history the term Progressivism refers to a broadly based reform movement that reached its height early in the 20th century Ralph Nader (born February 27 1934 is an American Attorney, Author, Lecturer, political activist, and independent candidate for President
• Contempt for the mainstream establishment, in particular for public figures who, in his view, garner mainstream respectability by criticizing those to their left; targets have included the New York Times, Sen. Barack Obama, Sen. Bernie Sanders, the late academic Irving Howe and some of his colleagues at The Nation, including Marc Cooper, David Corn^[3] and Eric Alterman. Bernard "Bernie" Sanders (born September 8, 1941) is the junior United States Senator from Vermont, elected on November Irving Howe ( June 11, 1920 &ndash May 5, 1993) was an American literary and social critic Marc Cooper is an American Journalist, Author, journalism professor and blogger. David Corn is a Liberal American political journalist and author Eric Alterman (b January 14, 1960) is a liberal American Journalist, Author, Media critic, blogger, and Cockburn has also been highly critical (see below) of his former friend and colleague, Christopher Hitchens. Alexander Claud Cockburn (ˈkoʊbɚn koh-burn born 6 June 1941 is an Irish-American political Journalist. Christopher Eric Hitchens (born April 13, 1949) is a British Author, Journalist, Literary critic and American ^[4]
• Criticism of 9/11 conspiracy theories^[5][6]

Aside from the perspectives described above, Cockburn has others outside the U. A variety of conspiracy theories question the mainstream account of the September 11 attacks in the United States. S. mainstream. For example, there is his defense of the Church of Scientology against attempts by the German government to inhibit its growth through restrictive laws. The Church of Scientology is the largest organization devoted to the practice and the promotion of the Scientology belief system. In a late 1990s Los Angeles Times column Cockburn invoked several comparisons to Nazi Germany in order to illustrate his views on threats to the rights enjoyed by Scientologists to worship as they see fit. The Los Angeles Times (also known as the LA Times) is a daily Newspaper published in Los Angeles California and distributed Nazi Germany and the Third Reich are the common English names for Germany under the regime of Adolf Hitler and the National Socialist German Workers Although he stated that the aggressive posture of Scientology deserved scrutiny, he also maintained that the demonization of any particular unpopular group—even one officials consider a cult—presented a far more imminent danger than the activities of Scientologists, or the organization they belong to. This article does not discuss "cult" in the original sense of "veneration" or "religious practice" for that usage see Cult (religious practice ^[7]

Cockburn's viewpoint on Iraq, in particular during the rule of Saddam Hussein, was one not often seen in mainstream U. Saddam Hussein Abd al-Majid al-Tikriti ( Arabic: ar صدام حسين عبد المجيد التكريتي --> April 28 1937 &ndash December 30 S. publications. Like many on the left he denounced the economic and political sanctions imposed on the Iraqi government by the United Nations, but Cockburn was more aggressive than most in his criticisms of American and British actions during the twelve years between the formal resolution of the Persian Gulf War and the 2003 invasion. The United Nations ( UN) is an International organization whose stated aims are to facilitate cooperation in International law, International security In a column published in 2000, Cockburn averred that the economic embargo imposed upon Iraq was "demonically designed to prompt gnawing, endless suffering throughout Iraq's social economy. The Iraq sanctions were a near-total financial and trade embargo imposed by the United Nations Security Council against the nation of Iraq. " In the same column, Cockburn concluded that every major Republican or Democratic nominee running in the 2000 presidential election was supportive of Iraq sanctions, and was therefore complicit in mass murder. ^[8]

Cockburn also joined the widespread criticism of the subsequent occupation of Iraq by American, British and other national military forces (the self-described Coalition of the Willing). The term coalition of the willing is a post-1990 political phrase used to describe military or military/humanitarian interventions for which the United Nations Security Council In the wake of the capture of Saddam Hussein, Cockburn penned a column entitled "How to kill Saddam," in which he argued that the ensuing trial of Hussein would be a mock tribunal, conducted by a "kangaroo court," and that Hussein's conviction and ultimate execution were foregone conclusions. Operation Red Dawn is the US Military operation conducted on 13 December 2003 in the town of Ad-Dawr, Iraq near Tikrit, that captured Iraq President The Trial of Saddam Hussein was the trial of the deposed President of Iraq Saddam Hussein by the Iraqi Interim Government for alleged A kangaroo court or kangaroo trial, sometimes likened to a Drumhead court-martial or Drumhead trial, is a sham Legal proceeding or Court ^[9]

In contrast, Cockburn's position on global warming is consistent with views usually held on the right. Global warming is the increase in the average measured temperature of the He believes the phenomenon has not been proven to be caused by humans,^[10] citing the statements of Dr. Martin Hertzberg that rising CO₂ levels are a symptom, not a cause, of global warming, which Hertzberg asserts is the result of natural, predictable changes in the earth's elliptic orbit. ^[11] In fact, Dr. Hertzberg is a semi-retired explosives expert who does not claim to be a climatologist. ^[12] This has prompted accusations that Cockburn is not consulting with and deferring to the appropriate experts, much as he complains the 9/11 conspiracy theorists don't defer to the NIST. ^[13]

Cockburn also has been critical of the author of the Green Revolution. The Green Revolution refers to the transformation of Agriculture that began in 1945 at the request of the Mexican government to establish an agricultural research station to In an article in the Nation on Al Gore's 2007 Nobel Peace Prize, Cockburn made the following statement on Norman Borlaug's 1971 Nobel prize: "Line up some of the more notorious Nobel Peace Prize recipients, such as Kissinger, and if you had to identify the biggest killer of all it was probably Norman Borlaug, one of the architects of the Green Revolution, which unleashed displacement, malnutrition and death across the Third World. Albert Arnold Gore Jr (born March 31 1948 is an American environmental Activist, author Businessperson, former Politician, and former The Nobel Peace Prize ( Swedish, Danish and Nobels fredspris is one of five Nobel Prizes Bequeathed by the Swedish industrialist and inventor Norman Ernest Borlaug (born March 25 1914 is an American Agronomist, Humanitarian, Nobel laureate, and has been called the father of the Henry Alfred Kissinger (born Heinz Alfred Kissinger on May 27, 1923) is a German -born American bureaucrat diplomat and 1973 " Cockburn has criticized Borlaug previously on this issue. ^[14]

At times acerbic, Cockburn can also be gently and humorously ironic, once declaring Gerald Ford America's greatest president for doing the least damage and praising the Lewinsky scandal's entertainment value. Gerald Rudolph Ford Jr (July 14 1913 December 26 2006 was the thirty-eighth President of the United States, serving from 1974 to 1977 and the fortieth Vice President The President of the United States is the Head of state and Head of government of the United States and is the highest political official in United States by The Lewinsky scandal was a political Sex scandal emerging from a sexual relationship between United States President Bill Clinton and a then ^[15] In the same vein, he has also expressed his admiration for the beauty of both Tipper Gore and Laura Bush. Mary Elizabeth Aitcheson Gore (born August 19, 1948) is an author photographer former " Second Lady of the United States," and the wife of Laura Lane Welch Bush (born November 4 1946 is the wife of the forty-third and current President of the United States, George W His nudge-nudge, wink-wink brand of humor is demonstrated in his response to a question asking for a comparison between George Bush and Napoleon Bonaparte.

Joséphine de Beauharnais (born Marie Josèphe Rose de Tascher de la Pagerie June 23 1763 &ndash May 29 1814) was the first "^[16]

Cockburn and anti-Semitism

Cockburn has written a great deal on the use of anti-Semitism accusations in modern politics and propaganda, particularly by the state of Israel and its supporters, and has co-edited a book on the subject, The Politics of Anti-Semitism^[17]. Antisemitism (alternatively spelled anti-semitism or anti-Semitism; also rarely known as judeophobia) is the Prejudice against or hostility Cockburn himself has also been accused of anti-Semitism, which he denies and considers an example of the use of that accusation to intimidate criticism of Israel and avert attention from Israel's behavior.

One of those making anti-Semitism charges against Cockburn is Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz. Alan Morton Dershowitz (born September 1, 1938) is an American Lawyer, Jurist, and political commentator. In November of 2005, Dershowitz wrote to the National Catholic Reporter that Cockburn's Counterpunch web site was anti-Semitic^[18]. The National Catholic Reporter (NCR is an independent weekly Newspaper Published since October 1964 by lay and religious of the Roman Catholic Church CounterPunch is a biweekly Newsletter published in the United States that covers politics in a manner its editors describe as "muckraking with a radical This was in response to a review of Norman Finkelstein's book Beyond Chutzpah by Counterpunch contributor Neve Gordon. Norman Gary Finkelstein (born December 8, 1953) is an American political scientist and author whose primary fields of research are the Cockburn had previously accused Dershowitz, in 2003, of plagiarism,^[19] and, in October 2005, of supporting torture. ^[20] Cockburn and Dershowitz have each denied the other's charges. Dershowitz has also claimed that Cockburn has been one of three writers (along with Norman Finkelstein and Noam Chomsky) who are engaged in an attempt to discredit and malign him, which Cockburn has also denied. Norman Gary Finkelstein (born December 8, 1953) is an American political scientist and author whose primary fields of research are the Avram Noam Chomsky (noʊm ˈtʃɑmski born December 7 1928 is an American linguist, Philosopher, cognitive scientist, Political ^[21][22]

A 2002 Cockburn article on anti-Semitic remarks by Reverend Billy Graham^[23] reprinted elsewhere,^[24] discussed the furor over recently released tape recorded conversations between Graham and President Richard Nixon. William Franklin Graham Jr KBE (born November 7 1918 better known as Billy Graham, is an evangelist and an Evangelical Christian Cockburn contrasted that response to the response to revelations in 1989 that Graham had advocated destroying Vietnam's irrigation infrastructure, which by Nixon's estimate would kill a million civilians, if the Paris peace talks failed. Year 1989 ( MCMLXXXIX) was a Common year starting on Sunday (link displays 1989 Gregorian calendar) Vietnam (ˌviːɛtˈnɑːm Việt Nam) officially The Paris Peace Accords (or Paris Agreement on Ending the War and Restoring Peace in Vietnam) were signed on January 27, 1973 by the governments of the The latter revelations, in Cockburn's view, received little press coverage, while the anti-Semitic remarks caused a media firestorm. ^[25][26][27] Taking issue with what he argued was the media's selective shock, Cockburn wrote that Graham's anti-Semitic comments were

consonant with the standard conversational bill of fare at 75 percent of the country clubs in America, not to mention many a Baptist soiree? But they [Nixon, Graham, and White House Chief of Staff H. R. Haldeman didn't say they wanted to kill a million Jews. Harry Robbins Haldeman (publicly known as H R Haldeman, and informally as Bob Haldeman) ( October 27, 1926 &ndash November 12, That's what Graham said about the Vietnamese and no one raised a bleat.

But it was the article's final paragraph, quoted in part below, that allowed his critics to accuse Cockburn of spreading anti-Semitic conspiracy theories:^[28][29]

Certainly, there are a number of stories sloshing around the news now that have raised discussions of Israel and of the posture of American Jews to an acrid level. The purveyor of anthrax may have been a former government scientist, Jewish, with a record of baiting a colleague of Arab origins, and with the intent to blame the anthrax on Muslim terrorists. Anthrax is an acute Disease in humans and animals caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis which is highly lethal in some forms Rocketing around the web and spilling into the press are many stories about Israeli spies in America at the time of 9/11. On various accounts, they were trailing (Mohammed) Atta and his associates, knew what was going to happen but did nothing about it, or were simply spying on US facilities.

One of the Cockburn critics was Franklin Foer of The New Republic, who first noted Cockburn's response:

To be fair, Cockburn doesn't exactly endorse these theories. Franklin Foer (born 1975 is an American political Journalist and the editor of The New Republic. The New Republic ( TNR) is an American Magazine of politics and the arts Rather, by noting that all of these Jewish conspiracy stories are "sloshing around the news," Cockburn seems merely to be pointing out that, hey, anti-Semitic ideas are still out there today--so why the shock that Graham endorsed them 30 years ago? Indeed, when I reached Cockburn to ask him about these conspiracies, he insisted he was just reporting what was already in circulation.

Part of Cockburn's response to the Graham article controversy is his ironically entitled essay My Life as an "Anti-Semite", from the The Politics of Anti-Semitism. Cockburn writes:

Over the past 20 years I've learned there's a quick way of figuring out just how badly Israel is behaving. You see a brisk uptick in the number of articles here accusing the left of anti-Semitism. . . .

Back in the 1970s when muteness on the topic of how Israel was treating Palestinians was near-total in the United States, I'd get the anti-Semite slur hurled at me once in a while for writing about such no-no stuff as Begin's fascist roots in Betar, or the torture of Palestinians by Israel's security forces. I minded then, as I mind now, but overuse has drained the term of much clout. ^[30]

Cockburn and Christopher Hitchens

Christopher Hitchens is often mentioned in connection with Cockburn because of their shared origin in the British Isles, similar educational background, both being columnists at The Nation, and their one-time friendship. Christopher Eric Hitchens (born April 13, 1949) is a British Author, Journalist, Literary critic and American This article is about the US Publication. For other newspapers magazines and alternate uses by the same name see The Nation (disambiguation. Hitchens' ideological differences on various issues has caused a bitter falling out between the two. Beyond issues such as the wars in the former Yugoslavia, Afghanistan and Iraq, the split also involves ethical disputes involving writers such as Sidney Blumenthal and Edward Said. Sidney Blumenthal (born November 6, 1948) is a former aide to President Bill Clinton and a widely published American journalist especially on American Edward Wadie Saïd MRSL ( إدوارد وديع سعيد,; 1 November 1935 &ndash 25 September In a Counterpunch article in August 2005, Cockburn attacked Hitchens as: "A guy who called Sid Blumenthal one of his best friends and then tried to have him thrown into prison for perjury; a guy who waited til his friend Edward Said was on his death bed before attacking him in the Atlantic Monthly; a guy who knows perfectly well the role Israel plays in US policy but who does not scruple to flail Cindy Sheehan as a LaRouchie and anti-Semite because, maybe, she dared mention the word Israel. CounterPunch is a biweekly Newsletter published in the United States that covers politics in a manner its editors describe as "muckraking with a radical Views of Lyndon LaRouche Lyndon Hermyle LaRouche Jr (born September 8 1922 in Rochester New Hampshire) is an American Political activist and founder of several "^[31] Hitchens responded by withdrawing his suggestion about Sheehan, but he defended his deposition to House prosecutors regarding Blumenthal during the impeachment trial of President Clinton and his critical review of Said’s book, Orientalism (Hitchens stating that the review was determined by the 25th anniversary of the book’s original publication and not the state of Said’s health). Orientalism is the 1978 book by Edward Said that has been highly influential in postcolonial studies. ^[32]
