2 YEARS AGO, A INDEPEPENDENT BRITISH TEAM, WANTED TO EXPERIENCE LIFE IN OCCUPIED PALESTINE.
Saturday. As we jumped on our buses at 8 am we were told to expect confrontation. It was a lovely spring day, everything is peaceful, the birds are singing, and spring flowers.

History’s BIGGEST FISH STORY:

A FEW hours before President George Bush gave his inauguration address promising to rid the world of tyranny, Vice President Dick Cheney made a few comments that tell more about where the administration is heading.
Yukking it up with right-wing talk show host Don Imus on MSNBC, Cheney placed Iran at the “top of the list” of “potential trouble spots” that the Bush administration was determined (…)

THE BUSH administration and its media cheerleaders will declare the “dawning of democracy” in Iraq no matter what happens on January 30. They hope that enough Iraqis manage to cast ballots that the results lend legitimacy to the U.S. occupation of Iraq.
But the elections on January 30 have nothing whatsoever to do with democracy.
U.S. generals claim that the residents of only four of Iraq’s 18 provinces may not be able to “fully participate” in the voting. “Good news,” wrote antiwar (…)

No Comparison? January 24th, 2005 : Filed by A! This so-called ill treatment and torture in detention centers, stories of which were spread everywhere among the people, and later by the prisoners who were freed... were not, as some assumed, inflicted methodically, but were excesses committed by individual prison guards, their deputies, and men who laid violent hands on the detainees. Can anyone tell me who said that? Was it:
A) George W. Bush B) John Ashcroft C) Donald Rumsfeld D) (…)

Self-appointed leaders of the 9/11 truth movement have come out in recent days to deliver a simple message.
Lay down. Submit. Give up. There’s nothing you can do about it.
We’ve been told to believe that there’s no possibility anyone in authority connected with the 9/11 attacks will ever be brought to justice.
Elsewhere we’ve seen prominent Internet columnists completely giving up the ghost, stating that the evil that controls the planet will never be defeated and that they’d rather (…)

Senators, those of you voting to approve Condo (White) Rice will be voting for an Oreo, and signing your own death warrants. How sad for all of us.
Also, Senators, won’t you feel tortured if you vote to confirm Gonzales as Attorney General?
