    A Must-Read Set on Gulf II

Currently on a truck and headed from the printer in Wisconsin to our Chicago distributor and Colorado fulfillment center, these two volumes bring together the leading minds and pens of journalism, politics, the military, the intelligence community, and academia for a hard-hitting, no-holds-barred examination of the immorality, the injustice, the illegality, and the insanity of (…)

  • The Anti War Rally Failed at Sending a Message

    As a person that is against the war in Iraq, I must say that I am disappointed with that anti war protest that took place this past weekend in Washington, D.C. In my opinion it failed in its objective for several reasons.
    As I viewed the front page of Truthout.org, they have featured on it a video feed of a woman who is bare breasted who marched with several other women also not wearing tops stating how they appeared was more natural than the killings that are taking (…)

  • CINDY SHEEHAN MEETS JOHN McCAIN

    Cindy Sheehan has aroused several hundred conservative bloggers, all determined to Swiftboat her in very strong terms. It seems that she met with Senator John McCain, and later called him a “war-monger.” This, to a loyal Bush supporter is intolerable.
    She and several supporters met with John McCain. She said that McCain simply told the group what George Bush might have said, and that she didn’t believe his answers to her questions. She stated: “He is a warmonger, and (…)

  • War protests, by the numbers

    Crowd counting isn’t an exact science. And even at its best, it’s not much of a proxy for a well-conducted public opinion poll. But still, isn’t it at least a little interesting to compare the numbers generated by the big antiwar protest in Washington Saturday with the two pro-war rallies that came before and after it?
    As Jeff Horwitz writes in Salon, the organizers of Saturday’s protest "claimed as many as 250,000 demonstrators attended; though D.C. police estimates were more (…)

    The rumors are true this time. I was arrested in front of the White House today. It was my first time ever being arrested.
    We proceeded from Lafayette Park to the Guard House at the White House. I, my sister, and other Gold Star Families for Peace members and some Military Families requested to meet with the President again. We again wanted to know: What is the Noble Cause? Our request was, to our immense shock and surprise, denied. They wouldn’t even deliver any letters (…)

  • How stupid can you be, arresting Cindy Sheehan while the whole world is watching?

    Does having Cindy Sheehan arrested and hauled off to the pokey to be photographed and finger-printed make you feel like a man, Dubya? Is this payback for Cindy’s Camp Casey in Crawford?
    Better pour yourself another drink, George. Maybe pop some more pills, too. You’re gonna need ’em.
    Nothing can ignite our determination to rid our country of you and your band of criminals than seeing a mother, who opposed your illegal war before her son died in it and who wants all the killing stopped, (…)

    WASHINGTON - Cindy Sheehan, the California woman who has used her son’s death in Iraq to spur the anti-war movement, was arrested Monday while protesting outside the White House.
    Sheehan and several dozen other protesters sat down on the sidewalk after marching along the pedestrian walkway on Pennsylvania Avenue. Police warned them three times that they were breaking the law by failing to move along, then began making arrests.
    Sheehan, 48, was the first taken into custody. She stood up (…)

    A WHIFF OF TURD
    By Peter Fredson
    September 26, 2005
    Yesterday I returned from a walk around the block, turned on my TV and saw a blurry picture of Cindy Sheehan, with muffled sound. The picture was shot from below the lady, perhaps surreptitiously, at a bad angle. I could not make out what Ms. Sheehan said.
    Then the picture changed. A woman was shown in full clarity, with full clear sound and from the front. The contrast between presentation of the two speakers was remarkable, and (…)

    George was out of town, of course, in the "battle cab" at the U.S. Northern Command’s headquarters in Colorado Springs, checking out the latest in homeland-security technology and picking up photo ops; while White House aides, as the Washington Post wrote that morning, were attempting "to reestablish Bush’s swagger." The Democrats had largely fled town as well, leaving hardly a trace behind. Another hurricane was blasting into Texas and the media was preoccupied, but (…)
