When we turn our backs on the Law, we have told the bin Ladens they’ve won!

I have been speaking of what is a warranted fear as opposed to an unwarranted one and as I read this statement from the extremist right-wing-nut, Dick Cheney in which, concerning Ned Lamont’s win in the Conneticut Democratic primary, he stated that he found it "disturbing."
The rightist vice president then went on to say “the al Qaeda types, they clearly are betting on the proposition that ultimately they can break the will of the American people in terms of our ability (…) -
The Bush Administration Makes New Enemies Daily

by Ivan Eland
In the frenzy surrounding the exposed plot to simultaneously blow up ten airliners flying from Britain to the United States, one line of inquiry being pursued by investigators should make the Bush administration very nervous. British and Pakistani law enforcement officials are examining whether the British plotters of Pakistani descent received money from an Islamic charity, Jamaat ud Dawa. The charity has been used as a front for a militant group fighting for the separation (…) -

Mexican Electoral Fraud Wins Round One - Round Two Now Begins - by Stephen Lendman
It was no surprise on Sunday that the Mexican Federal Electoral Institute (IFE) ruled its partial recount of about 9% of the ballots cast in the disputed presidential election held on July 2 showed ruling National Action Party (PAN) candidate still the winner. In doing so, the IFE ignored the clear evidence of election irregularities and blatant fraud uncovered by losing Party of the Democratic Revolution (…) -
How many terrorists see an opportunity due to Bush and Blair’s stupidity?
14 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
by Mary MacElveen
At this point, I want to knock some sense into the mainstream media for playing Bush and Blair’s game and that is the game of terror and fear.
These so-called news organizations that are read and viewed by millions are now coming out with disturbing facts concerning this alleged terror plot that would have blown ten airplanes headed to the United States out of the skies.
In fact, I’m ripping mad that they would play with the lives of innocent people and those that (…) -

Can you name the one country on earth where the government can steal elections, strip away basic rights, spy on citizens, and launch wars based on lies, but where the people do not take over the nation’s capital in protest?

BUSH AND BLAIR: NEW LIE BEFORE THE WORLD
13 August 2006 par (Open-Publishing)
With a new lie Bush and Blair they alarmed to the world. One is the “attack” against ten North American airplanes that would be sent from London. Measures were taken from emergency in the airports, were suspended flights, lowered the price of petroleum and until they lowered the indices of the bags. The “information”, that it crossed the world, appears without serious nor reliable sources, endorsing falsifications with others, with a diffuse language where facts to “sources nonmentioned in (…)
