    Washington, D.C. - If there is any one thing that reflects the utter evil that is the collective psyche of the Bush-Cheney Gang, it’s the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (Gitmo). Torture and humiliation of detainees has been the norm there, as well as holding prisoners indefinitely without charges or trial. The U.S. Constitution is regularly shredded there and (…)

    Tell A Friend
    The image of Cindy Sheehan’s arrival in Cuba, followed by Medea Benjamin, Tiffany Burns, Adele Welty and Ann Wright, these good, honest Americans who happen to believe in integrity and who happen to get it right, evokes for me so many memories of my own mother, an American woman, tall of stature and of humble heart who lived in Eastern Cuba, the Cuba I left through those very gates of that very Jose Martí International Airport some 49 years ago.

    We only know about Tom Paine because Thomas Edison discovered him in the 1920s. Edison believed he was our most important political thinker, and it was essential that his writings and ideas be taught in the nation’s schools. It’s no exaggeration that there might never have been an American Revolution without this man’s writings that had such a profound influence on the nation’s founders and masses of people he reached through one of the few (…)

    The Post noted that Pane found “. . . it was puzzling that the finding was from a day when the mall was packed with people.”

    On September 24, six bioweapons air sensors around the Mall in Washington, D.C., registered positive for airborne traces of francisella tularensis, bacteria with flu-like symptoms that can be deadly if untreated. At the same time, 300,000 people were on the Mall protesting the Iraq war. So far as anyone can tell, nobody died.
