George W. Bush: An American Hitler
In George W. Bush's petty, pathetic, partisan world, laws he doesn't agree

(Minority Whip Steny) Hoyer: Bush deserves respect (re: Colbert)
I thought some of it was funny, but I think it got a little rough, Hoyer
said. He is the president of the United States, and he deserves some respect.
Respect cannot be demanded. It must be earned. And Bush has not earned our
respect. If anything, he has earned the contempt of the entire world.

Who Wants Peace in Darfur? Certainly not Washington
The "Save Darfur" rally today was aired on C-Span. The rally was small --
only several thousands according to Reuters ("Thousands March to Stop
Darfur Killing," 30 April 2006). And the crowd in attendance was
overwhelmingly white. But, boy, it was a professionally-staged photo op,
with celebs, politicos, and exiles from Sudan at the podium expertly framed
by the U.S. Capitol in the background.

Amnesty Int'l slams U.S. on torture
NEW YORK, May 3 (UPI) -- Amnesty International Wednesday accused the U.S.
government of "creating a climate in which torture and other ill-treatment
can flourish."
"The United Sates has long taken a selective approach to international
standards, but in recent years, the U.S. government has taken unprecedented
steps to disregard its obligations under international treaties," wrote
Javier Zuniga, Amnesty International's Americas Program Director.

A little noted victim of Bush's tyranny: the individual conscience
Among Bush's many crimes is one that few have written about. Bush has
required of our soldiers that they violate their own consciences. And, at
the end of the day, it is either a strong individual or a hopeless kiss up
who can say that they served Bush in Iraq without violating or burying
forever their own moral code. On the home front, support for Bush on any
issue has now become a Faustian bargain. At stake is your very soul, or,
less theologically, the individual conscience. This is one of the defining
characteristics of dictatorship.

The PNAC Paper Trail
The longer the fiasco in Iraq drags on, the more we hear the folks who
cooked up the idea of invading that sand dune republic denying that they
had anything to do with it. Crooks and Liars provided this John Bolton
quote from a press conference televised last week on CNN.
"We did not violate the UN charter in the war to overthrow Saddam Hussein
and that plan was not drawn...at the Project for the New American Century.
John's memory must be slipping, what with all those responsibilities he has
as Ambassador to the United Nations now. Maybe it's time to help him
refresh it.

Depleted Uranium - Far Worse Than 9/11
In 1979, depleted uranium (DU) particles escaped from the National Lead
Industries factory near Albany, N.Y.,which was manufacturing DU weapons for
the U.S military. The particles traveled 26 miles and were discovered in a
laboratory filter by Dr. Leonard Dietz, a nuclear physicist. This discovery
led to a shut down of the factory in 1980, for releasing morethan 0.85
pounds of DU dust into the atmosphere every month, and involved a cleanup
of contaminated properties costing over 100 million dollars.

In the chaos of Iraq, one project is on target: a giant US embassy
In the pavement cafés, people moan that the structure is bigger than
anything Saddam Hussein built. They are not impressed by the architects
claims that the diplomatic outpost will be visible from space and cover an
area that is larger than the Vatican city and big enough to accommodate
four Millennium Domes. They are more interested in knowing whether the US
State Department paid for the prime real estate or simply took it.
Translation: the US will not be leaving Iraq any time soon, no matter what.

Israel: The country that wouldn't grow up
Something is changing in the United States. To be sure, it was only a few
short years ago that prime minister Sharon's advisers could gleefully
celebrate their success in dictating to U.S. President George W. Bush the
terms of a public statement approving Israel's illegal settlements. No U.S.
Congressman has yet proposed reducing or rescinding the $3 billion in aid
Israel receives annually - 20 percent of the total U.S. foreign aid budget
- which has helped sustain the Israeli defense budget and the cost of
settlement construction in the West Bank. And Israel and the United States
appear increasingly bound together in a symbiotic embrace whereby the
actions of each party exacerbate their common unpopularity abroad - and
thus their ever-closer association in the eyes of critics.
