    by Brian Richards
    WASHINGTON, D.C. — (OfficialWire) — 06/07/05 — Eighty-nine members of the House of Representatives have called on George W. Bush to answer a series of five questions:
    1. Do you or anyone in your administration dispute the accuracy of the leaked document?
    2. Were arrangements being made, including the recruitment of allies, before you sought Congressional authorization to go to war? Did you or anyone in your (…)

    Mrs. Clinton, who is running for a second term in 2006 and is widely described as a possible Democratic nominee for the presidency in 2008, said that her party is hamstrung because Republicans dissemble and smear without shame and the news media (…)

    Mr. B., that resident alien in the White House, appears to want to conquer the world along with his $$$ cronies, and turn it inside out in his own warped image. Wolf-owitz will run the world money henhouse, Frist is surgically removing democracy from the Senate, the Supremes are at it again, denying patients relief from unspeakable pain by criminalizing use of marijuana (gasp!) (where are the state’s rights advocates now? Hmmmm?), Rumsfeld tells people what they want to hear, regardless of (…)

    The US Probe On The Iraq "Oil-For-Food Scam" Has Exposed Its Own Duplicity Prem Shankar Jha June 06, 2005 The criminal procedure code of every democratic country contains one all-important provision. Information obtained through an unlawful search of any premises cannot, under any circumstances, be admitted as evidence in a court of law. No American government, whether national, state or local, would dream of flouting this principle at home. But in its dealings with other nations and (…)

    US Uses The Magic Mantra "Zarqawi" To Justify Its Failures Fatih Abdulsalam May 31, 2005 There seems to be no end to the flow of reports on al-Zarqawi. This legendary rebel has now come to haunt the Americans the way Saddam Hussein did before his overthrow two years ago.
    For many Iraqis the name ‘Saddam Hussein’ has been replaced by ‘Zarqawi’. The only difference is that while they could easily verify the footage, the speeches and sound bites of the former, many of them believe the (…)

    OUTING DEEP THROAT
    By Peter Fredson
    The hissing and rattling of Watergate media serpents became a frightening cacophony ever since Mark Felt outed himself as the famous Deep Throat. Practically all of the Republicans commenting on the Deep Throat disclosure felt that the man was a traitor, poisonous, vile, and to be shoved under a pile of manure. They are all extremely vocal and aggressive in denouncing Mark Felt. They have little hesitation in calling him a traitor or in ignoring, (…)

    ...I stood with a group of demonstrators at the gate of the General Staff building to protest against his appointment. Our slogan was: "You have blood on your wings!" ­ a reminder of his remarks when the Air Force dropped a one-ton bomb on a residential area in Gaza, in order to kill Hamas leader Salah Shehadeh.

    Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez accused the United States on Sunday of trying to impose a "global dictatorship".
    He said the US, not Venezuela, should face scrutiny by the Organisation of American States.
    "If there is any government that should be monitored by the OAS, then it should be the US government, a government which backs terrorists, invades nations, tramples over its own people, seeks to install a global dictatorship. That should be the government that is monitored," said (…)
