Mr. Alberto Gonzales,
Attorney General of the United States of America

"Sarah, if the people had ever known the truth about what we Bushes have done to this nation, we would be chased down in the streets and lynched." Bush 41 to reporter Sarah McClendon, Dec. 1992
It’s an amazing thing. Doctors’ offices in New York and Washington will likely be standing-room-only in a couple of months. I can see it now — the look on a nurse’s face when she asks the vacuous, target-eyed media twits when they are "due," and each one chirps happily, "May (…)

In My Life, I Loved You More
Since I began my vigil in Crawford, an average of 2.69 per day of our nation’s brave and noble troops died in Iraq for George’s cowardly and ignoble war. 2.69 families per day have been devastated for no reason except that: we have to continue killing American soldiers because so many have been killed already. My heart and soul go out to these families who had a loved one killed so needlessly and avoidably.
How many more are (…)

Oskar Lafontaine, one of two lead candidates for the Left party at the German election, has called into question the presence of US military bases in the country, saying they undermine Germany’s sovereignty.
Addressing the congress of the party, an alliance of Social Democratic dissidents and neo-Communists, in Berlin on Saturday, Mr Lafontaine said: "We are not a sovereign country; as long as the US can operate from here, we are a participant in the Iraq (…)

BERLIN - Leaders of Germany’s new party - combining ex-communists and left-wing defectors from Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder’s Social Democrats - pitched themselves on Saturday as an alternative to the status quo.
The Left Party has emerged as a serious force before Sept. 18 elections, sapping strength from Schroeder’s Social Democrats. The party’s attacks on Schroeder’s social welfare reform programs, its pledges to raise unemployment insurance and seek (…)

WASHINGTON
As President Bush traveled around the country last week, he got caught up in a battle of women.
Women - mothers and widows of men killed in Iraq - were the most vocal leaders of antiwar protests in Texas, Idaho and Utah that dogged Mr. Bush all week. Another woman, Tammy Pruett, whose husband and five sons have served in Iraq, was showcased by the White House as a pro-war counterpoint.
The tableau was a striking change from the 1960’s protests against (…)

Millennium Crisis E-Mail from another Planet An FBI report titled, Megiddo ( site of Armageddon ) was a controversial Millennium terrorist report prepared in 1999 and sent to law enforcement to prepare them for possible acts of violence in 2000. It was controversial because it fingered Christian fundamentalist groups, the agency claimed they were still sensitive about the implications of the Oklahoma city bombings. From a distant point in space, it appears the FBI did not take into (…)

The mother of a dead soldier stood in front of me and told me about her son. She told me his name was Casey. Casey Sheehan. She asked me to meet him. I agreed. I came to Crawford, TX to meet him.
The debate about Cindy Sheehan rages on and I’ve sat down and reflected on a lot of things.
When I was growing up, my parents always told me that you’re supposed to respect people. When you go to your little friends’ houses to play, respect their parents and abide by the rules that are set (…)

Dear friend of A.N.S.W.E.R.,
Unfolding developments over the past several weeks have made it clear that the September 24th demonstrations in Washington DC, San Francisco and Los Angeles have the potential to be the largest outpourings of anti-war sentiment since the invasion of Iraq in March 2003. The anti-war movement is gaining momentum daily, and successful mass mobilization on Sept. 24 can be the key element in transforming that momentum into a powerful political force.
