Americans must start protesting the Bush regime's international terrorism
WE HAVE BEEN! The media buried the story.
Bill Keller at the New York Times may try to pretend that the current scandal is all Judy Miller's fault, but take a look at the millions of people who protested against the Iraq war, carrying signs that clearly exposed the lies told by the government. These Americans opposed to the war were dismissed, marginalized, trivialized, and ridiculed by the mainstream media, including the New York Times, which intentionally tried to create the impression that the majority of Americans backed the war.

Prosecuting Bush in Canada for Torture
On Monday, October 17th Gail Davidson and Howard Rubin along with Jason Gratl and Micheal Vonn representing B.C. Civil Liberties stepped into courtroom 55 of the BC Supreme Court in Vancouver with the hopes of lifting the publication ban which, since December of 2004 August, has kept the case out of the public eye. After a relatively short session of 45 minutes they emerged successful. "I don't know that I would call it a victory quite yet," said Ms. Davidson, "but it is at least a step in the right direction. People deserve to know what is happening here."
