Bush Slipping in Polls so "TERRORISTS WILL KILL YOU IF YOU VOTE!!"
Terrorist in Chief Attorney General John Ashcroft - who on Sept. 24 ordered the FBI and other federal law enforcement agencies to assign what could be hundreds of agents to help deal with any threats to the elections - this week rejected the notion that the Republican White House has hyped the threat to discourage voting. Justice Department spokesman Mark Corallo says it is "absolutely absurd that we would seek to depress the vote."

Bush, Cheney Finally Admit Saddam Had No WMDs
WASHINGTON - President Bush and his vice president conceded Thursday in the clearest terms yet that Saddam Hussein had no weapons of mass destruction, even as they tried to shift the Iraq war debate to a new issue — whether the invasion was justified because Saddam was abusing a U.N. oil-for-food program.

Forget about Iraq, Worry about the Volcanoes
Cascadia's volcanoes are making national news. Did you know Raineir could blow and destroy Seattle? Mt. Hood could blow and screw up our water supply (as if the forest service's logging projects weren't doing a good enough job at that already). Now that the hurricane threat is over, we need new national disasters to worry about. Since it looks like the danger is over at Mt. St. Helens, better start looking at those other active volcanoes...

Kerry, the Hawk
The idea that John Kerry is some kind of peacenik, who will get us out of Iraq and drive the neocons out of the Temple of Democracy, is a myth that will die a hard death, but die it must. I realize that a lot of my readers have invested their hopes and dreams in the man, but, if you want some expert advice, don't take it from me, take it from one who knows: Bill Safire.... Safire, of course, is absolutely right about the hawkish bona fides of the Democratic nominee, and, if more proof were needed, the Kerry camp promptly provided it in a disgusting series of new ads linking those damn Ay-rabs to President Bush. As the New York Times reports, the ads not only link the White House to the Saudi royal family, they also characterize an entire nation as being somehow complicit in the 9/11 attacks.

Darth Vader did not eat Robin alive
It's an open question whether US corporate media will decide to do some research and decapitate Cheney's fallacies once again hammered out during the debate. A brand-new US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) report has found there's no conclusive evidence that Saddam was protecting the new bin Laden, Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, before the invasion of Iraq (in fact, if he was alive, he was in no-fly zone Iraqi Kurdistan, closely monitored by F-16s). Cheney said Zarqawi "was in Baghdad before the war" (false) and is now in Baghdad beheading hostages (instead, there's ample suspicion that "Zarqawi" may now be a cipher used by a number of Iraqi guerrilla groups).

NO WMD: The final verdict
America's chief weapons inspector in Iraq concluded yesterday that Saddam Hussein had no stockpiles of weapons of mass destruction, had no means to produce them and posed a diminishing threat at the time of last year's invasion.

His 1,500-page report was a comprehensive demolition of the main reason stated by America and Britain for going to war: the threat of Iraqi biological, chemical or nuclear weapons.

Scott McClellan, the White House spokesman, said the report showed that "Saddam Hussein was a threat we needed to take seriously" and he retained the "intent and capability to produce WMD". But Mr Bush's opponents said that before the war the administration was far more specific. In a key speech in October 2002 preparing America for war, Mr Bush said Iraq "possesses and produces chemical and biological weapons. It is seeking nuclear weapons.

"We have also discovered through intelligence that Iraq has a growing fleet of manned and unmanned aerial vehicles that could be used to disperse chemical or biological weapons across broad areas."

"The Take": film on Argentina IMF-collapse,& subsequent grass roots institution inventions
...produced by Nation columnist Naomi Klein, "The Take" is the film to watch after seeing "Fahrenheit 911," "Outfoxed" and "The Corporation"--when you are tired of being enraged and are ready to fight back. Filmed in Argentina over the course of eight months, "The Take" documents the birth of an historic new social movement . . . . The recent economic crisis that shattered Argentina pushed more than half the population into extreme poverty. However, at two hundred factories, schools, supermarkets, and health clinics, something remarkable happened: rather than allowing their workplaces to be closed down and their jobs extinguished, the workers locked themselves inside and insisted on keeping the machines and equipment. They have turned these bankrupt businesses into productive, democratically run cooperatives.

Naomi Klein is additionally the author of No Logo: Taking Aim at the Brand Bullies.
