    Published on Friday, March 31, 2006 by CommonDreams.org
    As far as we can piece things together, March 31st, two years ago is the day that the First Cavalry arrived in Sadr City, a slum in Baghdad, formerly named "Saddam City," Iraq. I say "as far as we can piece together" because we have heard many different stories, but this date seems to be the one that we have heard most often.
    Casey began a letter to us, his family, on April 1, 2004, telling us that he finally had an address where we (…)

    SAVING OUR HONOR
    By Peter Fredson

So it’s like this, I received a reply this morning to one of my rants about 9/11 and how I’m upset because I can find no plane parts at the Pentagon. The writer is writing under the annon name of Vince because he is famous and well known and that’s the way it is. My life is filled with famous and well known people - nothing I can do about it. So here (…)
