BENEDICT ARNOLD IN IRAQ
By Peter Fredson
A Political Rant
September 23, 2005
Many years ago, after marching through the Arch of Triumph in Paris on VE-Day, I asked for a short leave to try to contact relatives in Norway. I had not heard from them since 1940 and was worried that the war had not treated them kindly. However my request to visit Norway was denied. The reason was simple: all transportation was disrupted, roads impassable in many regions, the food shortage was acute, and (…)

Bus fire ’kills 20’ Rita evacuees
A bus carrying elderly evacuees from Hurricane Rita has caught fire on a gridlocked motorway, killing up to 20 people, a police spokesman says.
The bus was engulfed in flames, causing a 17-mile (27-km) tailback on the Interstate 45 highway, the main route north from the Gulf Coast to Dallas.
Oxygen used by the elderly people could have contributed to the blaze, a police spokesman told AP news agency.
He said early indications were that the cause of (…)

Thursday 22 September 2005
There are two kinds of people in American politics today: those who know our basic right to vote and have every vote counted is imperiled, and those who have no idea such a basic right is at risk.
Those who know our voting rights are at risk - from electronic touch-screen voting machines that use unverified software, offer no paper ballots, transfer data via modem to hackable (…)

I really wish I didn’t have to say this, but it needs to be said...
The Reason The Hurricanes Will Intensify The Anti-War Effort:
They say Katrina & Rita are going to detract attention from the effort to end the war. I say Bullshit. They are going to cost so damn much money that they are going to force the Bushwackers to BRING THEM HOME to deal with it financially and physically. There are too many links between the subjects. 1. The war in iraq is about oil. Even Bushwack himself (…)

President compares hurricane and terrorism
by Jennifer Monroe
WASHINGTON, D.C. — (OfficialWire) — 09/22/05 — Well, it was bound to happen. In the face of incoming Hurricane Rita, George W. Bush on Wednesday linked the American response to terrorism and its response to Hurricane Katrina, declaring that the United States is emerging a stronger nation from both challenges, and saying that terrorists look at the storm’s devastation "and wish they had caused it."
Congress MUST invoke (…)

"And they said her name was Rita..."
She came ripping up the gulf like a bad Godzilla swarm, Mother Nature’s take on B-flick horror, Headed straight for the refineries like a tight-wound white steamroller, Storm surges higher than twenty feet.

Ten years after the Oklahoma City bombing left 168 people dead, one U.S. national security agency believes the domestic radical right does not pose a substantial threat to Americans while another labels white supremacists as “terrorists” ? along with anti-war groups, affirmmative action organizations and animal rights activists.
The apparent inconsistencies arise from documents recently made public from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of (…)

CIA Director George Tenet testified before Congress in February 2001 that Iraq posed no immediate threat to the United States or to other countries in the Middle East.
But immediately after the terrorist attacks on 9-11, which the Bush administration has said Iraq is partially responsible for, the President and his advisers were already making a case for war against Iraq without so much as providing a shred of evidence to back up their allegations that Iraq and its (…)
