Award-winning investigative journalist and founder/editor of ConsortiumNews.com, Robert Parry has passed away. His ground-breaking work uncovering Reagan-era dirty wars in Central America and many other illegal and immoral policies conducted by successive administrations and U.S. intelligence agencies, stands as an inspiration to all in journalists working in the public interest.
Robert had been a regular guest on our Between The Lines and Counterpoint radio shows -- and many other progressive outlets across the U.S. over four decades.
His penetrating analysis of U.S. foreign policy and international conflicts will be sorely missed, and not easily replaced. His son Nat Parry writes a tribute to his father: Robert Parry’s Legacy and the Future of Consortiumnews.

Interview with Cindy and Craig Corrie, parents of Rachel Corrie, peace activist slain by an Israeli bulldozer in Gaza, conducted by Scott Harris
Eight days of violence that began with Israeli airstrikes targeting Gaza militants who fired rockets into Israel – leading to an escalation of more than 1,000 cross-border airstrikes and rocket attacks on both sides, claimed the lives of an estimated 169 Palestinians in Gaza and 6 Israelis – with hundreds more injured. A cease-fire brokered by Egyptian officials went into effect in Nov. 21. In the second phase of the cease-fire agreement, negotiations began in Cairo on Nov. 25 to discuss establishing new border regulations in Gaza.
Hamas, the Palestinian Islamist party that governs Gaza, is demanding that Israel lift its economic blockade imposed in 2007 that restricts the movement of goods, construction material and people in and out of the Gaza strip. Israel for its part says it wants an end to the smuggling of arms into Gaza and the production of weapons inside the territory.
Cindy and Craig Corrie, are the parents of Rachel Corrie, a 23-year-old American peace activist from Olympia, Wash., who was crushed to death by an Israeli bulldozer on March 16, 2003 while undertaking nonviolent direct action to prevent the demolition of a Palestinian family’s home in Gaza. An Israeli Civil Court ruled on Aug. 24 that Israel’s Army was not at fault for Rachel’s death. Between the Lines’ Scott Harris spoke with Cindy and Craig Corrie, who were part of an Interfaith Peace-Builders' delegation from the U.S. that visited Gaza from Nov. 5 through the 11. Here, they talk about their views on the recent Gaza conflict and current ceasefire, as well as the obstacles standing in the way of achieving a lasting and just Middle East peace.
