  • SAUDI COSMETICS?
    7 June 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    By William Fisher As human rights organizations expressed skepticism that detainees recently transferred from Guantanamo Bay to Saudi Arabian custody could receive fair trials and escape torture - and a new study charged that the country’s textbooks continue to promote intolerance of other religions - the oil-rich Kingdom put the finishing touches on its new Human Rights Commission. The new commission - which the government characterizes as an independent rights watchdog — came into (…)

    Editor’s Note: As the U.S. military completes its investigation of the alleged murder of 24 Iraqi civilians at the hands of U.S. Marines last November in Haditha, the next phase likely will be some form of court martial against Marines implicated in the case.
    If that happens, President George W. Bush has made clear that he expects justice to be meted out to any Marine found guilty of a war crime against Iraqi civilians. But, as we anticipated in an earlier article , (…)

    Don’t let anyone fool you , the loss by Francine Busby , the Democratic nominee for the open seat previously held convicted felon Randy Duke Cunningham was a failure of catastrophic proportion The Kerry % of the vote in CA ( 50 ) in 2004 : 45% The Busby % of the vote in the open April primary : 45 % .. The Busby % of the vote in the election held yesterday : 45 %.. Busby seems like a perfectly fine person

    WHAT IS IT LIKE TO BE A FAILURE?
    By Peter Fredson
    June 6, 2006
    I watch the Bush administration bellow and bluster its incompetence to the world. I watch as the cabinet dances war dances, shouts ominous threats, pronounces rivals to be EVIL and therefore unfit to live with decent Christian Republicans.
    I listen to little Condi Rice, the Black Angel of Death; scare the public once more with visions of mushroom clouds, aluminum tubes, yellow cake and other strategic lies. But Donald (…)

  • LEFT LETTERS: The Good News From Haditha

    Good news? Yes, of a sort. It is good news that Time magazine, which of late has taken a Wall Street Journal turn with its choice of columnists, broke the story. Strange, of course, that a massacre that took place last November only made the big news here in May. But not so strange. My Lai, which involved the slaughter of hundreds of Vietnamese, took place in 1968 but wasn’t revealed until 1969.
    It is good news that Americans have been forced, at last, to see the Iraq (…)

    The town of Columbus, Nebraska, bills itself as a "City of Power and Progress." If Archer Daniels Midland gets its way, that power will be partially generated by coal, one of the dirtiest forms of energy. When burned, it emits carcinogenic pollutants and high levels of the greenhouse gases linked to global warming.
    Ironically this coal will be used to generate ethanol, a plant-based petroleum substitute that has been hyped by both environmentalists and President George (…)

    Degrees of Separation, the Numbers Game, and How to Bring Peace to the World
    To bring peace to the world we must first understand the consequences of war, specifically how many people it affects. The calculations required to truly understand the number of people that are directly affected by war are quite simple. To get a ballpark estimate, all we have to (…)

  • 10 Reasons to Impeach George W. Bush...And a Reason Why Democratic Leaders are Wrong to be Afraid
    5 June 2006 par (Open-Publishing)

    As prospects grow for a Democratic takeover of the House of Representatives, and perhaps even the Senate, this November, the idea of impeachment is gaining attention. Yet even as polls show increasing numbers of Americans supporting the idea of removing Bush from office before the end of his term, Democratic Party leaders keep backing away.
    This is not simply bad politics. It is cowardly, wrong and dangerous.
    Let’s look at the facts.
    President Bush has committed grave offenses against (…)
