Robert Naiman | War Supplemental Could Fail http://www.truthout.org/060309R Robert Naiman, Truthout: "Last month, 60 members of the House of Representatives, including 51 Democrats, voted against the war supplemental for Afghanistan, Pakistan and Iraq. But this week, when the House is expected to consider the agreement of a House-Senate conference on the war funding, the supplemental could well be defeated on the floor of the House - if most of the 51 antiwar Democrats stick to their no vote - which they might, if they hear from their constituents."

Bill Moyers Journal | Politics and the Price of War http://www.truthout.org/060309U Bill Moyers Journal: "From $1 billion sought for embassies in Pakistan and Afghanistan to May's highest casualties for US forces in Iraq since September, the wars abroad are taking their toll on our nation. Bill Moyers sits down with award-winning investigative journalist Jeremy Scahill to examine the human and financial costs of America's wars." Congresswoman Barbara Lee - a Rebel Inside the House http://www.truthout.org/060309WA Emily Wilson, The Women's Media Center: "Now in her sixth full term in the House of Representatives, the congresswoman holds to her radical roots, explaining in her new book just how mainstream those revolutionary programs have become. Currently chair of the Congressional Black Caucus, she spoke to author Emily Wilson of her need to define herself. Barbara Lee, the Democratic congresswoman who represents California's 9th district, which includes Oakland and Berkeley, gained national attention when she cast the only opposing vote to a resolution authorizing then-President Bush to use 'all necessary and appropriate force' against anyone associated with the terrorist attacks of September 11. This vote won her both praise and death threats."
