    Yesterday, I spoke with Giuliana Sgrena by telephone from Rome, where she is recovering from the injuries she suffered as a result of the shooting. I began by asking her reaction to the Pentagon report.
    GIULIANA SGRENA: Yes, for the moment we have not an official result of the reports, but we have some rumors about the conclusion of the report, so I am very sad about that because I was - is words that I was waiting. I thought that maybe the Americans will spoke of accident or something (…)

  • My Election 2004 Bad Dream

    On a recent flight to Nashville, I sat next to a man who asked what I was writing. Preparing a talk, I told him, for a conference of people sharing evidence that the 2004 presidential election was stolen. Without missing a beat, he asked. "Isn’t that next door to the convention on UFO sightings?"
    I wasn’t surprised. We’ve been painted as conspiracy theorists and worse by Democrats and Republicans alike, and even the liberal arm of the press has steered clear of this issue. But when I (…)

    Interview with Naomi Klein on Democracy now about her conversation with Giuliana Sgrena...
    "She told me a lot about the incident that I had not fully understood from the reports in the press. One of the most - and at first, the other thing I want to be really clear about is that Giuliana is not saying that she’s certain in any way that the attack on the car was intentional.
    She is simply saying that she has many, many unanswered questions, and there are many parts of her direct (…)

    By Terry M. Neal
    After my recent column on President Bush’s popularity woes, a torrent of e-mail flooded in from angry Democrats insisting that Bush’s relative lack of popularity only reinforced their belief that the 2004 election was stolen.
    Regular readers are well aware that I’m not a conspiracy theorist. My natural journalistic skepticism applies not just to politicians and people in power, but to wild-eyed theories as well. The Talking Points column that followed the polling piece (…)

    Requesting Feasability Study of Mustard Seed Biodiesel
    "Mr. Chairman, this is a noncontroversial amendment which authorizes a National Academy of Science study on the feasibility of mustard seed as a feedstock for biodiesel.
    "Now, mustard seed has many advantages over other feedstocks, including higher oil content, it is easier to grow in colder and drier climates of the U.S., and the conversion process leaves behind an organic pesticide and herbicide. Initial research studies by the (…)

    A fuming John Kerry had "daggers in his eyes" after a fellow Democrat promoted Hillary Rodham Clinton for president - suggesting the 2004 loser is green with envy at a potential rival.
    The flap was touched off two weeks ago when Clinton spoke at a Minneapolis Democratic dinner and Sen. Mark Dayton (D-Minn.) told the cheering crowd that he was introducing "the next great president of the United States."
    Two days later, Kerry came over to Dayton on the Senate floor "with daggers in his (…)

    An American patrol roared past us with the soldiers gesturing furiously with their guns for traffic to keep back on an overpass in central Baghdad. A black car with three young men in it did not stop in time and a soldier fired several shots from his machine gun into its engine.
    The driver and his friends were not hit, but many Iraqis do not survive casual encounters with US soldiers. It is very easy to be accidentally killed in Iraq. US soldiers treat everybody as a potential suicide (…)

    Starting today on Earth Day, many Chicago area school children will be breathing easier as they get on and off their school buses, thanks to a blended fuel that contains soybean oil.
    Chicago School Transit is the first school bus service in the Chicago Metropolitan Area to use the soy-based biodiesel fuel, which reduces the hazardous exhaust emissions by 15-20 percent. Illinois Lt. Governor Pat Quinn will (…)

    Spurred by rising energy prices, groups and individuals across the country are considering diving into used frying oil and local seed crops as diesel fuel.
    Among them is the Montana-based Alternative Energy Resource Organization, which is considering establishing a new cooperative to process fuel from those sources to make what’s known as biodiesel.
    AERO member Doug Crabtree said the discussions are in an early phase but similar efforts have been successful elsewhere.
    "It takes the (…)
