=== News Update === The source of this hysteria Portraying Muslim scholars such as Yusuf al-Qaradawi and even Tariq Ramadan as extremists is absurd - and dangerous http://www.guardian.co.uk/comment/story/0,3604,1533945,00.html === America the Beautiful The Pain of Patriotism We must erase the insult to the men and women who built this country that liberty fears to speak her mind and justice is forced to sell herself to the highest bidder. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9553.htm http://snipurl.com/ggfz === FLASHBACK 9-11 : Bush asks Daschle to limit Sept. 11 probes A reminder that by Presidential order, the investigation into 9-11 was only allowed to look at "Intelligence failures". Imagine having an investigation into the sinking of the RMS Titanic and confining that investigation into looking at "metallurgical failures". You would get a report about where the ship might have survived with better metal in certain key locations, but no mention of the misplaced lookout binoculars, the ignored radio reports of ice, and of course, Bruce Ismay's pressuring Captain E. J. Smith into running along at top speed for the sake of favorable newspaper coverage in New York. http://archives.cnn.com/2002/ALLPOLITICS/01/29/inv.terror.probe/ === I name the four powers who are behind the al-Qaeda conspiracy Why did the bombers not take the elementary precaution of phoning the mastermind from a telephone box? There is an unwitting conspiracy between four separate powers to represent the worldwide al-Qaeda network as fiendishly clever, powerfully effective and deeply involved in the London bombings. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9550.htm http://snipurl.com/ggg0 === Cynicism and the Use of Depleted Uranium As the controversy swirls around Karl Rove and how blatantly or surreptitiously he disclosed the identity of Valerie Plame to the press, it's important to remember that the preceding issue was the question of whether Iraq was importing yellow cake uranium from Niger to make nuclear weapons. Rove, Bush, Cheney, Wolfowitz, et al., wanted to use this issue to terrify the American people and win support for the attack on Iraq. They wanted Saddam, al Qaeda, Osama, and Mushroom Cloud, like four horsemen of the apocalypse, to be synonymous in the American mind. What could frighten people more than terrorists willing to detonate atomic bombs and spread radioactive fallout? http://www.lewrockwell.com/orig6/shetterly3.html === Resort To Fear The resort to fear by systems of power to discipline the domestic population has left a long and terrible trail of bloodshed and suffering which we ignore at our peril. Recent history provides many shocking illustrations. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9549.htm http://snipurl.com/ggg1 === Isn't it time we accepted the truth about Bush? Shouldn't we have more of a problem with this? We Americans screamed louder about a stained dress than we have about this national security mess. Where's the call for congressional investigations and impeachment hearings? http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/columnists.nsf/sylvesterbrownjr/story/D6218A8DB1926A15862570450046AB64?OpenDocument === Shot man NOT connected to bombing : A man shot dead by police hunting the bombers behind Thursday's London attacks was unconnected to the incidents, police have confirmed. http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9552.htm http://snipurl.com/ggg4 === UK Police: Man Killed Unrelated to Probe : The man shot and killed on a subway car by London police in front of horrified commuters apparently had nothing to do with this month's bombings on the city's transit system, police said Saturday in expressing their ``regrets.'' http://www.informationclearinghouse.info/article9555.htm http://snipurl.com/ggg5 === 'I saw it all.

In a Washington Post article describing how the Army is upping its offer to $100,000 in bonuses, college funds, and extra pay for those young Americans who volunteer for army "priority units" (i.e., infantry), Marine Gen.
