Joseph Wilson's book, The Politics of Truth, is the latest volume by a former government insider to take aim at the Bush administration's conduct of the war on terror.
A former US ambassador who questioned the Bush administration's justification for war in Iraq, Wilson accused vice-president Dick Cheney's office of masterminding a smear campaign against him and his wife, a CIA officer, in a book published yesterday.
Surf over on the Web to marketplace.org and watch the "Cost of the War in Iraq"
 http://www.costofwar.com ticker click along at about $520 a second. This week, the total was chugging past $112 billion, including military and reconstruction costs. Too much of that money is being stolen.

The real problem seems to be that law enforcement has no interest in actually investigating 9/11, only in assuring that the official story holds up, that the designated culprits remain targets, thereby justifying new totalitarian laws against freedom and validating a new U.S. foreign policy that seems aimed at making large amounts of money for government contractors rather than pursuing actualized justice.
Which is why the FBI can come out and say there was nothing suspicious about pre-9/11 trading activities when the whole world knows that there was. There hasn't been a single peep about this red-flag issue from the official commission. Recent weeks have brought two major revelations among the minor details of 9/11...
This otherwise motiveless attack begs the question, Was Souter assaulted because of his open disdain at the hearing for the government's demand for police state powers and in order to intimidate him ahead of the Court's ruling on the historic case, due at the end of June?

David Deniston Smith, president and chief executive officer of Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc., was charged with committing an unnatural and perverted sex act in a company-owned Mercedes. He was arrested in an undercover sting a Read and St. Paul streets, a downtown corner frequented by prostitutes. Police said Mary DiPaulo, 31, ran across the street to a 1992 Mercedes, registered to Sinclair, and got in on the passenger side.

For one brief moment of life, when light enters our eyes for the very first time, we can claim to be the embodiment of innocence and human goodness, the essence of human perfection. It is also the only moment in our lives we can claim to be free.
Willy Week has named GPFX as some of this week's "Rogues of the Week." The reason? Because we "plucked cops' names from newspaper accounts at random" to identify the worst of the Portland cops. They seemed to forget that many of those newspaper accounts were FROM the Willy Week. Are they admitting their accounts are not trustworthy? They slam us for being anonymous, then sign their rant "BY WW EDITORIAL STAFF."

While you are marching today, please photograph as many police officers as possible and write down either their name or badge number. We have a copy of the roster from a friend that was done with it, so even partially identified cops can usually be matched to the deck if they are part of it. The following tips are good things to keep in mind at any civil unrest where you take photos.
Of late, we here at PIMC have been treated to a lot of outlandish commentary
by the rightwing nutters, Uber Americans, and assorted crazies. Assuming they're still trolling around here, this article is one for them to sink their teeth into and chew on a good while. It's tough and hard to chew, and it not likely they'll digest it easily either. My own prediction about America's MisAdventure in Iraq is that we're soon to see an unraveling like none before witnessed in this country. If I were in charge of the US Marines that are Iraq now, then right now I'd be giving them instructions on effective ROOF TOP MASS EVACUATIONS, cause that's coming SOON! Will it be televised is the question?
Anyone know about the candidates?

THE YOU KNOW WHO GROUP OF SCALIA, O'CONNOR, THOMAS, AND RHENQUIST--WITH KENNEDY, ACTUALLY--adopted a 'see no evil' approach and have set the stage for further statewide private gerrymandering, further removing ways voters can split up the 2-headed beast of the Democratic/Republican party.
"Republicans acknowledged their aims were political, but said courts should not interfere [unless the feds were to protect the neocons's of the Republican Party]." "On Wednesday [most of the Supreme Court Bush coupmeisters of SCOTUS decision of December 2000], four justices -- Chief Justice William H. Rehnquist, Sandra Day O'Connor, Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas -- affirmed the judgment of the lower court and argued that courts should not consider [THAT any] political gerrymandering claims [can be brought to court]. [In other words, pretend that it fails to exist and tacitly support it legally.] [Despite the 1964 Civil Rights Act,] The Constitution, they declared, does not provide judicially enforceable limits on the extent to which state legislatures can consider political factors in drawing congressional districts." "We're very pleased by today's decision affirming that redistricting is a [totally partisan and private] political process and congressional boundaries can be drawn based on [any] political criteria [for creating one-party districts to remove voter choice]," said Rep. Thomas M. Reynolds of New York, chairman of the National Republican Congressional Committee.

A critical question for citizens and journalists to ask the U.S. government right now is this: "Under what circumstances will the United States military withdraw from Iraq?"
That's according to James Webb, the novelist, decorated Vietnam veteran and Reagan-administration secretary of the Navy, who spoke Wednesday night at Kansas University. Webb says he's never heard a good answer from the Bush administration to the question about troop withdrawal. One audience member asked Webb whether he thought the Iraqi war arose from a desire to finish Bush family business. Webb said no and attributed the war more to Vice President Dick Cheney -- whom he called "The Godfather" -- and a war-bent circle of advisers with no sense of military reality themselves. "The minds were programmed" before Sept. 11 happened, Webb said. "I think they jumped too fast."
