Ms. Edmonds, a Turkish-American translator, said there was sufficient information in Spring and Summer 2001 of an attack being planned. But the White House is seeking to silence her with a court order citing "state secrets privilege".

Apparently some of the other candidates are trying to label themselves activists. But I would definately like to say my actions speak much louder than there redoric.
Veteran Middle East correspondent Robert Fisk reports live from Baghdad. Fisk describes the "grotesque, gruesome, terrible" attacks in Fallujah, the contracted mercenaries that have infiltrated Iraq: "They swagger in and out with heavy weapons, with automatic weapons and pistols as if they're cowboys" and the deteriorating situation throughout the country: "The violence and the insecurity, the sense of anarchy is greater." [includes rush transcript]
Here in the U.S., there must be a clear, powerful, unmistakable repudiation of everything represented by the Bush clique and their agenda.
It is up to the people to deny--to them, their agenda, and the powerful forces they serve--any right to claim they are acting and speaking for the people of the United States. It is up to the people to challenge their offensive, undermine their support, and prepare conditions to bring about a radically different future.
![]() BBC: The billionaire philanthropist George Soros got a wet reception in Ukraine when two young men threw water and mayonnaise at him. The incident happened at a human rights conference in the capital, Kiev. The two men were immediately arrested by the police. The radical nationalist group Bratstvo (Brotherhood) claimed responsibility for the attack. The group accused Mr Soros of trying to repeat in Ukraine the Georgia-type "velvet revolution" of last November. Some critics have suggested that Mr Soros' Open Society Institute played a role in the ouster of Georgian President Eduard Shevardnadze, who was forced resigned amid mass public protests.
On March 25th the FBI warned of a terrorist attack on oil refineries in Texas. On March 31 an oil refinery in Texas explodes and is on fire. Sounds like a terrorist attack to me.

Does anybody seem to care that their are debates and interviews around Portland that many of the candidates are not being invited.
FTAA Talks Collapse in Buenos Aires. The resistance is WINNING!
"The Uzbek government is conducting a merciless campaign against peaceful Muslim dissidents," said Rachel Denber, the acting director of HRW's Europe and Central Asia Division. "The scale and brutality of the operations against independent Muslims makes it clear that these are part of a concerted and tightly-orchestrated campaign of religious persecution."
Both the 319-page report as well as the violence in Tashkent and Bukhara pose major dilemmas for Washington and other Western donors that have treated the Karimov government as a close ally in the US "war on terrorism". Based on five years of research throughout Uzbekistan, including some 200 interviews with victims and their relatives, as well as other witnesses, human rights defenders and government officials, the report notes that independent Muslims are arrested on vague charges of "subversion", "encroachment on the constitutional order", or "anti-state activities", tried "in grossly unfair proceedings", and routinely sentenced to up to 20 years in prison. Those targeted for arrest include people whom the state deems "too pious", a term that may include those who pray at home or wear a beard. The regime has also used mass public denunciations of the families of independent Muslims in which they are paraded before their neighbors to be denounced as "traitors" or "enemies of the state" in demonstrations that recall the Stalin period. In addition, police are known to arrest and torture family members of alleged "extremists" or "Wahhabis" in order to gain their surrender.
At a graduation ceremony for the Iraqi police (the next group of Iraqi targets of the resistance), Mr. Bremer told these men that the dead occupiers in Iraq had "not died in vain." The GIs who were killed were fulfilling an obligation they may have regretted they ever made. Dying for a cause you don't believe in is a hard thing to do.
As for the others, they didn't die in vain either; they died in Iraq for a big paycheck. These guys weren't innocent bystanders, mind you. They worked for Blackwater Security Consulting and were most likely looking for trouble. This firm is one of the many nominally private companies doing the US government's dirty work in Iraq and elsewhere around the world where Washington thinks its direct involvement might cause even more problems than that caused by so-called civilians. Like most other firms of this nature, Blackwater (and I quote from their website) "has it roots in the Special Operations community and continues to sustain the skills that have been acquired over the years as effective tools that will support both national and commercial objectives." In addition, it maintains offices in McLean, Virginia very near the CIA headquarters. In other words, the men that they hire are trained killers.

![]() CHENEY v. UNITED STATES DIST. COURT FOR D. C. Memorandum of SCALIA, J. MY SUBMISSION TO THE E-COURT OF OPINION: Scalia's denial of two different cases for his recusal (refusal to be a judge in a case where there is a conflict of interest) relies on a personal self-testimony of his honor, and nothing more substantial than that. So read Scalia in his own words, and remember his alibi if something comes up. Of course the Judge's 'honor' has already been suspect and proven to be suspect ever since the 2000 decision that revealed conflict of interest where Scalia made a statement to the effect in the press that further counting of the Florida vote would be a danger to the Bush candidacy. Second, we have the 5-4 SCOTUS decision where Scalia was part of the 'gang of five'--and through the case he was feeding the Bush legal team recommended ways of arguing (while seated above them on the bench!). Third, we have the (unconstitutional) selecting of an ex-male cheerleader of Yale Univerity, George W. Bush, as the presidential candiadate to win Florida without counting votes, even though the Supreme Court basically gave themselves the right to do so when there is nothing in the Constitution to the effect that allows federal courts to decide state elections--much less stop them, or decide them regardless of the vote! Throughout in other words, conflict of interest has been proven in the past related to the Bush/Cheney ticket, and can only influence everything to come. THANK YOU YOUR HONORS FOR HEARING THIS PLEA. THE GUILLOTINE AWAITS YOU, RIGHT THIS WAY YOU TOTAL BASTARDS.

Trying to find the person who took a photo of a Portland Police officer at the March 20 protest. (and the photo)
Countless eyes were glued to the days of public testimony on March 23 and 24 before the "National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States." The ten-member panel grilled policymakers from the Bush team and the previous Clinton administration. There were angry outbursts and finger-pointing. For days, charges and countercharges echoed back and forth outside the commission hearing--through the power structure and the intensifying electoral arena.
The press didn't grasp that the joke was on them.
The four civilians who were killed and dragged through the streets of an Iraqi town Wednesday worked for a North Carolina subcontractor that is providing security in a hostile area of Iraq. Blackwater Security Consulting provides security training and guard services to customers around the world. It is one of five subsidiaries of Blackwater USA, based in northeastern North Carolina about a half-hour's drive from the world's largest naval base in Norfolk, Virginia.

Occupied Iraq is suffering a new brain drain as intellectuals flood out of the country to avoid unemployment and an organised killing campaign.
Recently, one of Scott Bloch's first acts as newly appointed Special Counsel to the White House was to instill fear in 'homosexual' employees of the federal government. In an increasingly common curtailment of individual rights, the Bush Administration has removed decades-long protections from employment discrimination against those who serve our nation.

"Lastly criterion number six: International law must be observed. No guarantee exists after the experiences of the Afghanistan war that Americans will respect humanitarian rules..Not a single criterion was actually fulfilled. Therefore war against Iraq is immoral."
What causes me to reconsider and retract is that I have heard Dennis Kucinich on the topic of Nader. Dennis has consistently refused to criticize Ralph in any way, going so far as to give Nader a ringing personal endorsement based on Kucinich's 30 years of finding Nader very supportive of every effort by Kucinich to oppose privatization and to support democracy and economic justice. Kucinich has stated that Nader was the ONLY national figure who joined with him in his battle to prevent the privatization of the Cleveland publicly-owned electric utility. Weighing the various reports on Nader, plus and minus, the Kucinich endorsement just has to tip the scale toward a favorable interpretation of Nader's history and a positive evaluation of his character.
It's finally happened.

Local channel KGW broadcast a photo of Jason Sery on their 6pm news broadcast this evening. The photo was probably taken while he was an officer in Montana. It accompanied a story about his service in Missoula, I think. Anyway, the same story ran at 11pm, but his photo had been blurred out.
WASHINGTON, March 31 — Kristen Breitweiser was at home in Middletown, N.J., cleaning out closets. Patty Casazza of Colts Neck was dashing to the dry cleaners. Lorie Van Auken of East Brunswick was headed out to do grocery shopping. Her neighbor Mindy Kleinberg had just packed her children off to school.
On March 29th, the California Rice Commission gave their approval for the planting and milling of two genetically engineered drug-producing rice varieties spliced with synthetic human genes. This will be the first commercial pharmaceutical food crop in the world and could be planted anywhere in the state.
Richard S. Foster, the government's chief analyst of Medicare costs who was threatened with firing last year if he disclosed too much information to Congress, said last night that he believes the White House participated in the decision to withhold analyses that Medicare legislation President Bush sought would be far more expensive than lawmakers knew.
