    Editorial note: The original version of this column, which ran on October 3, contained a number of errors involving dates, which I have now corrected. I have also added a significant amount of new material, so much that it is, for all intents and purposes, quite a different piece from the original.
    It isn’t generally known that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney’s chief of staff - now revealed as New York Times reporter Judith Miller’s source in the (…)

  • Conservatives lose more faith in their president

    In the White House Rose Garden yesterday, President George W. Bush was confronted with the sort of question that 10 months ago, upon his re-election, would have made people gulp in astonishment. "Are you still a conservative?" he was asked.
    The president replied jauntily: "Proudly so." But, after five years of opinion polls showing that he has been the most divisive and partisan of presidents - garnering 15 per cent approval from Democrats, compared with more than 80 per cent from (…)

  • Editorial: Bush’s Third Quarter

    Editorial: The Third Quarter October 04, 2005
    While President George W. Bush’s debacle in Iraq has largely been pushed off the front pages by a pair of Gulf Coast hurricanes and, prior to that, a missing young white girl on the Caribbean island of Aruba, brave American men and women have been needlessly dying there each and every day.
    Over the past three months, a total of 188 have been killed in action, and another 1,595 have been maimed, with many of those losing arms, legs and eyes. (…)

    The past week in DC found me in many offices of our elected officials: Senators, Congresspersons, pro-war, "anti-war," Democrat, Republican. With a few notable exceptions, all our employees toed party lines.
    Thanks to those who met with me, because, except for Sen. Barbara Boxer, (D-Ca), I was not their constituent. And I believe the Republicans who met with me, whether they knew it or not, were breaking with their leader on this, since he was too cowardly to meet with (…)

    Michael P. Wright — Norman, Oklahoma USA mpwright9@aol.com
    On Saturday evening, an individual named Joel Hinrichs was killed by a bomb which exploded on the campus of the University of Oklahoma, in Norman, while a football game was in progress at the nearby stadium. OU president David Boren, mentor and patron of George Tenet, has been trying to persuade the public to dismiss the thought that terrorism was involved.
    For an update, see today’s Norman Transcript article:

    Total Homeland Insecurity
    By Dan Stafford 10/05/2005
    It’s really ridiculous to speak of Homeland Security under George Bush. There is no such thing due to complete incompetence and greed.
    While our military ground forces and significant air forces are tied up in Iraq, up to and including critical National Guard troops, who is defending U.S. soil?
    Right now our Southern border states are in chaos due to two natural disasters. Who is watching the shores of the U.S.? If an invader (…)

    What do we make of the Saturday, October 1 Washington Post headline “Poison Found in Air During Anti-War Protest”?
    Washington D.C. Public Health Director Greg A. Pane posed the right question in the Post article, “Why that day? That’s what is not explained.” Pane pointed that it was “just this 24-hour period and none since.”
    The Post noted that Pane found “. . . it was puzzling that the finding was from a day when the mall was packed with people.”
    Puzzling? Indeed. Biohazard sensors (…)

  • BUSH’S SUPREME COURT BETRAYAL
    5 October 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    When a political party supports a candidate for President, it is done with the expectation that, should a vacancy occur on the US Supreme Court, said candidate will appoint judges that embody the political philosophy of his party. Few actions by a President can have as lasting an effect as the judges they put onto the court.
    George Bush has had an exceptional opportunity to reshape the court, appointing not only a Justice, but a Chief Justice as well. But Bush has betrayed his own (…)

    Government’s Case Sputtering
    Schiff Facing Jail For Contempt
    The criminal tax trial of Irwin Schiff entered its fourth week Monday with a cantankerous Schiff apparently making significant headway in repelling the government’s prosecution witnesses who have testified thus far.
    Schiff and his former co-workers, Cindy Neun and Larry Cohen, are defending against a plethora of criminal charges in Las Vegas stemming from consulting activities related to Schiff’s (…)
