Roosevelt who invented the Securities and Exchange commission." Translated from the German in DIE ZEIT.

Colin Powell's son, Michael Powell, was appointed as chair of the FCC back when Bush was selected. We've seen KBOO get hit with a suit for indecency for the airing of a song with political content; and Powell has said crazy things like "I do not know what the public interest is". This is a man who ostensibly would be protecting the airwaves in the public interest. The FCC wants to know what citizens think of their policy agenda.

The media stylized as zealous for truth often narrows debate and suppresses pacifist and anti-war viewpoints. These are two lies exposed in this article published on germany.indymedia. While this free translation from germany.indymedia needs correction, the arguments could help focus discussion.
I explain why, arguably, 911 mastermind George Bush & his co-terrorists U.S. Attorney General John Ashcroft, FBI director Robert Mueller and his predecessors Thomas Pickard and Louis Freeh ought to be shackled and goggled and flown to Guantanamo.
