POWER OUTAGE TRACED TO DIM BULB IN WHITE HOUSE

"It's just proven not to have any benefit to us," Capt. Bob Guidara, a department spokesman, said Tuesday. The cameras have led only to arrests for such crimes as drug deals.

AUDIO FILE: UNITED AGAINST BUSH PRESS CONFERENCE
A Press Conference was held this morning, August 19, 2003, just outside the perimeter of the University of Portland. UP authorities were gracious enough to invite participants, including broadcast media, to refrain from stepping foot on any campus property, lawns, parking lots, etc. So, the Conference was held on the sidewalk at the corner of N Williamette Boulevard and Portsmouth. Held up, that is, until after the groundskeepers found it necessary to mow that particular part of the campus at that particular time.

REUTERS CAMERAMAN KILLED BY USA FOR FILMING SECRET US MILITARY GRAVES
The brother of Reuters cameraman Mazen Dana said he was deliberately murdered for discovering mass graves of U.S. troops killed in Iraqi resistance attacks. "The U.S. troops killed my brother in cold blood," Nazmi Dana told IslamOnline.net in exclusive statements..... "Mazen told me by phone few days before his death that he discovered a mass grave dug by U.S. troops to conceal the bodies of their fellow comrades killed in Iraqi resistance attacks," Nazmi said. "He also told me that he found U.S. troops covered in plastic bags in remote desert areas and he filmed them for a TV program. We are pretty sure that the American forces had killed Mazen knowingly to prevent him from airing his finding."

Sniper Suspect Praised Terrorists
It seems the Prosecutors in the Washington Sniper case are attempting to get the Death Penaly for "ex" US military man John Allen Muhammad for his "anti-American" views. Its also interesting how the Washington Post in the first paragraph of this article insinuates that having "anti-American views" (i.e. dissent) is implicitly racist no less. Reminds me of Condoleeza Rice playing the race card when she said that anyone who criticized US foreign policy in the Middle East was "racist."

Denying the hazards of uranium poisoning has been a U.S. government trademark for over 50 years. The same uranium isotopes that comprise depleted uranium left its toxic, deadly legacy in homeland communities decades ago. The U.S. government knowingly endangered the health of its own citizens, many who paid with their lives, all in the name of "national security." A Bush administration slogan for secrecy and denial that allows history to repeat itself.
