Tom Ridge, the man who brought duct tape and plastic sheeting into every American home, is out flacking for Bush. How should he be greeted? One suggestion is that "We should pelt him with fruit and various meats." -- Buffy The Vampire Slayer.
Seattle P-I's AP story, on the killing of James Perez, quoted robert king, pres of portland police association, that "this officer acted appropriately", referring to what jason sery did. Even tho king was not there, & the preliminary investigation was not over, king said that. So, apparently ppa has as an internal policy that motorists have 24 seconds to prove that they are unarmed before they are shot to death. Decent police officers should strongly dissent from that & get king out of office.

The man who calls himself the president decides that some of the lowliest laborers in America should be left to sicken or die from forced exposure to filthy rags dripping with toxic waste. Why? Because their bosses paid him money.
The two events that will reveal the truth will take place in the coming months of 2004. Specifically, between May and the end of October, Bush will miraculously "capture" Osama bin Laden, who has been under surveillance since the start of the Afghan war, held as a trump card for just this purpose, an electoral surge. The other event that will occur between May and October is a second engineered terrorist attack in the US, coordinated by the security apparatus under Bush, similar in magnitude to 9-11, designed to terrify the US public into ceding more authority to Bush and electing him based upon a state of national emergency.
homeland security prison/concentration camp built covertly under right under residents noses
Semi-interesting story about a very interesting subject. Surely things aren't more dangerous now than they were years ago, are they? I love hitchhiking, but I recognize that it's getting more and more rare. Seems like most of the people who pick me up are old hitchhikers themselves, which says in a generation or two it may be totally hopeless. Sad. Anybody else got any theories?

Where did it go?
This week -- writing in support of the plan by the Judiciary Committee of the U.S. House of Representatives to investigate the misuse of informants by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) -- the Peltier attorneys submitted a position paper and a formal request to Congress proposing that they complete the work undertaken by the Church Committee in the 1970s. This would include investigation of the FBI's misuse of not only informants, but agent provocateurs against the American Indian Movement (AIM); the Bureau's role in the "Reign of Terror"
at the Pine Ridge Indian Reservation from 1973-1976; and official misconduct against AIM, in general, and in the case against Leonard Peltier, in particular.

House Republicans, openly defying President Bush's call for spending restraint, pressed ahead yesterday with a $275 billion highway and mass transit bill that exceeds a White House spending ceiling, bestows thousands of projects on lawmakers' districts and requires Congress to consider adding more money two years from now.
Members of both parties hailed the bill as addressing traffic congestion, crumbling infrastructure and the problem of joblessness.

It is easy for us (US) to justify our grown men going to war around the globe against little 13 year old boys, we justify this as herorism yet we still must stock pile and test/sell weapons.

It should come as no surprise that the Iraqi security forces in Falluja are scared half to death.
This Sunni town, 40 miles west of Baghdad, has produced the most violent resistance to America's occupation of Iraq. There have been dozens of fatal attacks on US troops and Iraqi police, who are regarded by many locals as little more than collaborators. In turn, dozens more Iraqi civilians have died in American raids and military operations.

The pro-Israel lobby has slipped an anti-Free Speech resolution through the House; This resolution would criminalize criticism of Israeli policies on US college campuses. Contact your Senators today and demand that they vote against H.R.3077, which is an attack on our civil liberties.
The Israeli government has written to the BBC accusing its Middle East correspondent, Orla Guerin, of anti-semitism and "total identification with the goals and methods of the Palestinian terror groups" over a report on a 16-year-old would-be suicide bomber last week.
In her report on Hussam Abdu last week, Guerin noted Israel's desire to gain a public relations advantage from the arrest. She described how the army "paraded the child in front of the international media", and observed that journalists had been prevented from asking him questions and therefore were left only with the army's account of the arrest. The Israeli minister also protested at Guerin's conclusion, as the youth was forced to stand forlornly alone at the checkpoint solely for the photographers, that "this is a picture that Israel wants the world to see". A week earlier, when a 12-year-old boy, Abdullah Quran, was stopped while unwittingly carrying explosives at an army checkpoint, Israeli embassies called news editors to insist they cover the story and warn that failure to do so would be viewed as bias against Israel. When several news organisations failed to report it, an Israeli newspaper called for their correspondents to be expelled, including Sky News' Emma Hurd and Stephen Farrell of the Times. The government emailed the article around the world and reproduced it on official websites. CNN sources say the network has bowed to considerable pressure on its editors. Israeli officials boast that they now have only to call a number at the network's headquarters in Atlanta to pull any story they do not like.
