An Associated Press reporter found about 40 of the photos posted on a commercial photo-sharing Web site, by a woman who said that her husband brought them from Iraq after his tour of duty.
The reporter handed turned over the photos (…)

The following is a sample of 84 letters submitted by a group to the Oregonian that believes fraud occurred in the 2004 presidential election.
I have grave concerns about the health of our democracy. Thousands share this concern, including those at Common Cause, the Ohio Democratic Party, and researchers at the University of California at Berkeley, Johns Hopkins University and the University of Pennsylvania.
Several members of Congress have demanded an investigation by the Government (…)

I am a manipulated stooge who sold his soul to exploit the ignorant with the proud lies our own leaders.
I am told on a regular basis "The Army is not like it used to be." Most of the lifers think that the military lacks discipline and blame the new "Nintendo generation" soldiers for the weakness.
However, I think a hard look should be given at the uses of America’s advanced military in the modern era. Due to the operations the military has been tasked in the last forty years, the (…)

The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) Report into the collapse of World Trade Center Seven is a Total Joke.
World Trade Center Seven collapsed on September 11, 2001, at 5:20 p.m. There were no known casualties due to this collapse. The performance of WTC 7 is of significant interest because it appears the collapse was due primarily to fire, rather than any impact damage from the collapsing towers. On the contrary, it appears the collapse was due primarily due to a controlled (…)

THE FOLLOWING letter from a U.S. soldier stationed in Iraq, known as hEkLe, powerfully conveys the terror of the U.S. assault on Falluja. It was published in GI Special, a daily Internet newsletter that gathers news and information helpful to soldiers and military families.
You can find an archive of the GI Special updated with each new issue at www.militaryproject.org . hEkLe and several fellow soldiers have a Web log that they regularly update with essays at www.ftssoldier.blogspot.com . (…)

December 04, 2004 Trophy Hunting?

Yesterday, before the usual morning gunfire in the streets that has become my morning alarm clock, Abu Talat phoned me. There is very heavy fighting over in al-Adhamiya. Two giant explosions occurred around 6:15 a.m., followed by mortar blasts, then constant, heavy gun battles that went on into late morning. The Hamid al-Alwan mosque, a small Shia mosque in the predominantly Sunni area of Adhamiya had been hit with a car bomb. (…)

As demonstrators cheer the restoration of democracy to their beleaguered country, Ohio officials continue to deny it.
In the face of obvious fraud, Ukraine’s Supreme Court has thrown out an apparent coup for the incumbent and ordered a new election. That’s what needs to happen here.
But despite growing national pressure and a major demonstration scheduled for tomorrow, Ohio’s Republican Secretary of State Kenneth Blackwell continues to stonewall a true recount in (…)

THE MOST OUTRAGEOUS CONSPIRACY THEORY OF THEM ALL.
It is blatently anti-semitic and totally stretches the bounds of believability (note that Arabs are Semites).
It goes something like this: There is a massive Arab/Semite conspiracy to destabilize the West. There is a gigantic network of Arab/Semite spies and agents throughout the world, at the beck and call of a BIG Semite called bin Laden. Controlling this gigantic network of Semite spies and agents from a cave in Afghanistan (…)

Brad Menfil is not my real name. I work for the RNC. I fear reprisals if I’m found out.
The truth about this election is this: Florida and Ohio had to go for Bush in order for him to "win" the election. In reality he lost both states. In fact, he did not even win the popular vote. He lost the national popular vote by at least 1,750,000. This shows you the scale of the fraud.
The exit polls were not wrong. Kerry was the clear winner, but victory was snatched from him.
Florida first. The (…)

Ruling makes recount likely
COLUMBUS (AP) — A federal judge on Friday ruled against a county’s attempt to stop a presidential election recount, likely setting the stage for a county-by-county recount in the coming weeks.
The decision by U.S. District Judge Edmund Sargus denied the Delaware County Board of Elections’ request to stop the recount. Sargus’ ruling was a victory for candidates for the Green and Libertarian parties, which requested the recount.
But Sargus also ruled against (…)
