"Bill Black: The Kamikaze Economics of Forcing Austerity on the Ukraine"  Right after the elections:  "Ukrainians Get IMF’s Bitter Medicine" by Robert Parry.

"Ukraine far-right leader Sashko Bily 'shot himself'":  "The first shot scratched his skin, they said, but the second proved fatal."

"The Red Line and the Rat Line" by Seymour M. Hersh.  "Hersh: Turkey Behind Sarin Attacks In Syria" (Moon of Alabama)  Lots of intrigue swirling around Erdoğan.

"Questions Arise About Staged or Faked News Photos From Syria"  Remember that 2006 pictures from Reuters of Beirut were faked to look slightly worse, allowing Israel and its defenders to cover up the bombing by Israel of civilian areas.
