    An angry groundswell has risen against the appointment of George W. Bush’s personal attorney to the US Supreme Court.
    One key question must be asked: as a Justice, would she soon be asked to rule on a conspiracy conviction against her present boss?
    In light of the new indictments against former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, the question may not be so far fetched.
    DeLay was originally indicted on charges of violating campaign finance law. His (…)

    10/4/2005 12:46:00 PM GMT Deghayes said the soldiers tortured him using electric shocks
    Hypocrisy and a disregard for basic human rights and international laws continue to mark the American President’s so-called “war on terror".
    Bellow are details of one of the most horrific incidents that took place at the U.S. Naval Base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where American soldiers tortured and abused prisoners, whom they labeled enemy-combatants.
    Omar Deghayes is a British resident who has (…)

  • Padilla case and the dire consequences it holds for all Americans
    5 October 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    Train Wreck of the Week By Bob Chapman
    October 1 2005
    We are forced to speak again of the situation of Jose Padilla and the dire consequences it holds for all Americans. Padilla was taken into custody by federal agents on May 8, 2002, as part of the war on terrorism and held as a material witness. It is important to point out here that being held as a material witness is a ruse to incarcerate. We do not know if Mr. Padilla is innocent or guilty of anything and neither does the US (…)

    Monday, October 03, 2005 VIEWING TERRORISM THROUGH A DIFFERENT LENS By Jason Miller
    Remember in September of 2001, when the US President (appointed by Katherine Harris) dissembled to the American public about why the Middle Eastern "terrorists" hate America?
    In case you forgot, here is what he told us:
    Americans are asking, why do they hate us? They hate what we see right here in this chamber — a democratically elected government. Their leaders are self-appointed. They hate our (…)

    Jim VandeHei and Walter Pincus report that lawyers close to the Valerie Plame investigation (identified as lawyers for witnesses, but presumably those would be potential defendants) say that Patrick Fitzgerald is pointing toward conspiracy charges.
    "Many lawyers in the case have been skeptical that Fitzgerald has the evidence to prove a violation of the Intelligence Identities Protection Act, which is the complicated crime he first set (…)

    Shocking the Two Party System
    By NIKOLAS KOZLOFF
    In recent years, progressive third party efforts have hardly left a dent in the American political system. Recent polling data however suggest that the American electorate is restless and anxiously waiting for a change. The only thing which is missing is the spark and organizational vehicle. If progressives are smart, they (…)

  • The Discrepancy Between Missing People and Confirmed Fatalities in Mississippi
    5 October 2005 par (Open-Publishing)

    There has been a considerable discrepancy between the 1172 individuals reported as ’missing’ in Harrison County, MS. and the 96 confirmed fatalities.
    This, of course, has led many people to wonder where those people might be located? My own personal theory was that as the 30+ feet storm surge receded many of the people were likely swept out to sea into the Mississippi Sound. For example, I had heard of one report of an Asian woman (…)
