WASHINGTON, June 22 - Under a secret Bush administration program initiated weeks after the Sept. 11 attacks, counterterrorism officials have gained access to financial records from a vast international database and examined banking transactions involving thousands of Americans and others in the United States, according to government and industry officials.
The program is limited, government officials say, to tracing transactions of people suspected of ties to Al Qaeda by reviewing records (…)

June 24, 2006 - A timetable for withdrawal of occupation troops from Iraq. Amnesty for all insurgents who attacked U.S. and Iraqi military targets. Release of all security detainees from U.S. and Iraqi prisons. Compensation for victims of coalition military operations.

The Wall Street Journal Calls Hugo Chavez A Threat to World Peace - by Stephen Lendman
You won’t find commentary and language any more hostile to Hugo Chavez than on the editorial page of the Wall Street Journal. Their June 23 piece by Mary Anastasia O’Grady in the Americas column is a clear, jaw-dropping example. It’s practically blood-curdling in its vitriol which calls Hugo Chavez a threat to world peace. The sad part of it is Journal readers believe this stuff and are likely to (…)

Have you noticed the change in the country since Karl Rove got "off the Plame hook" and came back into the fold to steer the ship of state? The mood in the White House since recent changes, a "surprise" visit to Iraq, and the capture of Zarquawi, is positively ecstatic.
Bush’s energy has been renewed, his "Stones" strut, "Heh heh" smirk is back, and best of all, thanks to some manipulations by the Rovester, the ever gullible Republican base is edging back to the Bush camp,and all appears (…)
