    Some lawyers claim the U.S. is guilty of crimes against humanity
    by Charlie Smith
    Serving tea in her kitchen in her home on Vancouver’s West Side, Gail Davidson seems more like a friendly neighbour than a wild-eyed revolutionary. Davidson, a grandmother, laughs easily, enjoys gardening, and speaks with a remarkable absence of egotism. In this setting, it’s hard to comprehend that she is a key figure in an international campaign to hold U.S. President George W. Bush accountable for (…)

    With George Bush’s Approval Rating Now At The Lowest Level Of Any Incumbent President Since World War II, Are The Hard Times And Absurd Lies Finally Getting Through To Americans?
    by Martin Graham On the weekend prior to the November elections, I moved. One of the movers who packed up my goods felt obliged to offer me some political insight. "Don’t get me wrong," he explained, "I don’t care for either of these guys, but you just don’t change presidents in the middle of a war."
    Since I (…)

  • At Least 30,000 Overseas Votes Not Counted In Presidential Election
    10 April 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    by Lisa Hoffman The votes of at least 1 in 4 U.S. soldiers and overseas voters in last fall’s election never were counted. That’s the conclusion of a recent report by the National Defense Committee, a private, pro-military organization that surveyed local election offices across the country about the number of absentee votes cast and counted in the Nov. 3 election.
    In all, more than 30,000 of the 131,000 absentee ballots sent by troops and expatriates to 760 local elections offices (…)

    Chanting "No! No to terrorism!" and "No! No to America," thousands of supporters of a radical Shiite cleric who once led uprisings against U.S. troops called Saturday for American forces to withdraw from Iraq, staging a massive protest at the same square where - two years ago to the day - protesters pulled down a towering statue of ousted Saddam Hussein.
    Compare the protests- which one looks like the ’voice of the people’ to you?
    The protest reflected frustration with the U.S. (…)

  • An Openly Gay Communist Wins in Southern Italy

    An openly gay candidate of Partito della Rifondazione Comunista wins in southern Italy, in regional elections that resulted in 11 victories for the center-left coalition, which now controls 16 of Italy’s 20 regions.
    Nichi Vendola’s victory decisively refutes the American dogma that militants on the left, choosing radicals, can’t attract votes at the center and lose to the right — the dogma that the Democrats in America and the center-left in Italy promulgate, even though it has been often (…)

    White House Press Secretary Scott McClellan says President Bush was "pleased" with the latest investigation that blames CIA analysts for the false information that Iraq had weapons of mass destruction.
    That’s the reason Bush invaded Iraq, remember? Once again it’s those low-level bureaucrats who took us into war. And once again a panel of "don’t rock the boat" establishment figures has let the commander in chief off the hook.
    I asked McClellan if the president was upset (…)

    The ugly face of fascism appeared before the Senate Judiciary Committee Tuesday.
    It appeared twice: With Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and again with FBI Director Robert Mueller as both demanded Congress not only reauthorize the rights-robbing USA Patriot Act but expand the ability of the federal government’s goose-stepping storm troopers to invade the privacy of Americans and ignore the protections of the Constitution.
    "Now is not the time for us to be engaging in (…)

    by Doug Thompson You only need to spend a few seconds with Mel Martinez to realize the Florida Republican Senator is a few beers short of a six pack, but his lame-brained excuse for how a memo outlining the GOP’s plan to turn the Terri Schiavo tragedy into a political opportunity fell into Democratic hands sends political intelligence to subterranean levels. Martinez claims he gave the memo to Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin because he thought they were only “talking points” and says he never (…)
