There is a noticeable police presence on the streets of Downtown Sacramento, and outskirts, and it is only Wednesday.

Caution is the word that goes out to all of those converging on the Capitol City.

This is a repost of an article that appeared in 2600 magazine, and then later in K-1ine zine, with updates. The editor has taken a few liberties with the format (font's, line breaks, etc...) to make the article more visually appealling. Other than that, the text is verbatim(ie no grammatical/punctuation errors have been corrected).--Ed.

By all accounts, the behind-the-scenes battle within the Bush
administration over just what information should be used, or spun, or hidden, to make the case that Saddam Hussein posed an imminent threat to America and the rest of the world was a knockdown, drag-out fight between the facts and a zealous, highly politicized, "who needs proof?" mindset. And, at the end of the day, the truth was left writhing on the floor.

I had to really dig to find some of these stories that were formerly listed on google, and now are completely gone. Even the search on Commondreams no longer lists the major anti-Dean stories - I had to go search imcs just to find one that someone reposted. That sort of thing alarms me, when sites are actively trying to lose all negative mention of someone.
Is Dean really worth all this just because he's pro-gay rights?? He's not an environmentalist (brought big box places to beautiful Vermont), he's against medical marijuana (a doctor!), he only decided to be against the war in Iraq when it became clear that the others he was up against would support it (so he could distinguish himself), he is a self-described pro-AIPAC Zionist, and he believes the Palestinian violence is not due to the occupation but to 'terrorism itself.' Wake up Dean supporters! Switch to Green or vote Kucinich. Dean will sell us all out in a heartbeat. He only appears 'liberal' because Vermont voters forced him to be. Take a look at some of these stories, and decide for yourself.
