GROTON, Conn. -
For decades, the land around the Navy’s oldest submarine base was a dumping ground for whatever it needed to dispose of: sulfuric acid, torpedo fuel, waste oil and incinerator ash.

National Catholic Reporter on The Downing Street Memo- Democracy Demands we Ask Questions
31 May 2005Back to the basic question on Iraq
Perhaps it is unrealistic to expect a country hip deep in a war that seems to defy explanation — and that is going far worse than the Bush administration had ever anticipated — to stop and ask questions at this late date about why we are there.
Asking such questions would mean retracing so many steps that feinted past so many obstacles that it would be difficult to establish what really happened. It’s much easier to simply buy the line that has evolved, (…) -

A Compromise that Leaves Gay People In a Compromised Position
31 May 2005by Wayne Besen
For the good of the country, it was wise for Senators to strike a compromise on the filibuster of judicial nominees. They temporarily averted a catastrophe and avoided setting a dangerous precedent. However, it is clear by the statements of many leading right wing Senators that this may be more of a transitory deferral than a true deal. The real test will come when Bush eventually nominates an extremist to the Supreme Court.
