Maybe the big unreported news is that the next civil war -- Washington pundits and neoconservative elites versus the whole rest of the country -- has already started.

The unanimous decision makes it more difficult to use a public records law to access law enforcement records. Justices said the privacy rights of survivors outweigh the benefits of releasing some photographs.

They have used fear to quiet, intimidate and suppress us. They have conditioned us to hide behind our insecurities. We have been programmed to cower and think of evil at the words “terrorism” and “terrorist.”

"The whole idea of this X-43 air vehicle is to develop a new technology and then allow military planners to imagine the possibilities."

It is time for the American people, especially conservatives, to honestly face the spending question. If we are going to tolerate and condone increased federal spending, we must be willing to finance it with increased taxes. If we truly want to reduce taxes, we must also demand decreased spending.

US businessman and philanthropist George Soros was attacked today at the Rus hotel in Kiev . . . 'Let Brotherhood Reign' and proceeded to pour glue on Soros . . . another man yelled 'Yankee Soros - Go Back Home' and proceeded to shove Soros and pour water on him.

If Iraq collapses in chaos or civil war to become a spawning ground of Islamic terror, Bush will be a failed president and America will need a new foreign policy.

Those who stand for freedom, justice, the rule of law, self-government and the moral principles of the Bible are not part of "the establishment." We're the rebels. By the world's standards, we're the renegades.

As the dollar continues to fall, eventually the Treasury will run out of investors. When that happens it will be forced to raise interest rates to attract them, resulting in a tighter money supply and higher inflation. These are not things that may happen, they are inevitable.

Condoleezza Rice wants to bring democracy to the Middle East. Ms. Rice, an expert on what is now an obsolete subject, the Soviet Union, believes this can be done the way the United States brought democracy to Chile or Iran or Afghanistan - that is, by violently overthrowing governments.

Chalabi holds the ultimate weapons -- several dozen tons of documents and individual files seized by his Iraqi National Congress from Saddam Hussein's secret security apparatus.

If citizens of this country ever again enjoy the blessings of liberty and true freedom, it will not be the result of a majority of its citizens having risen up in righteous indignation at govenmental abuse of themselves and their culture . . . If lawful government is reestablished it will come about because a revolutionary majority makes it happen.

The report also provides a useful visual aid, showing when the Bush-Cheney fabrications were spiking, and when their lies were more modestly put forth.

Though the Americans might be attempting to silence a vocal and vitriolic critic of their efforts in Iraq, the move plays directly into Muqtada's hands. Hamid Bayati, the spokesmen for the Supreme Council for Islamic Revolution in Iraq, confirmed that the move would only "provoke Muqtada Sadr's supporters", and confirm Iraqi suspicions that Americans are hypocritical and selective in their application of democracy.

Conservatives have principles; believe in a Creator, and the rule of law. Liberals do not have principles, except for their dedication to stealing production of conservatives and undermining principled references such as the Bible and Constitution.

The real issue is whether the U.S. government contributed to the hatred that caused the September 11 attacks.

The presidential election, Bush vs. Kerry, what a joke! Two privileged plutocrats, two psychotic perverts from the same demonic college fraternity, neither ever had to hold a job, each advocating continuing crimes against humanity, even against their own people. And to make matters worse, they no longer count the votes honestly.

After decades of hiring illegal aliens and lobbying against any and all restrictions on immigration, Big Business is about to find out the real costs of the Open Borders it has subsidized.

Some commentators see Europe as a civilization in decline, facing demographic collapse, unable to meet their economic goals and either weary of conflict or hedonistically self-absorbed.

There are serious doubts even within the occupying power about America's choice to send Chilean mercenaries, many trained during General Pinochet's vicious dictatorship, to guard Baghdad airport. Many South Africans are in Iraq illegally--they are breaking new laws, passed by the government in Pretoria, to control South Africa's booming export of mercenaries.

In a repentant newspaper article he allegedly wrote from behind bars, Russia's wealthiest man, who faces fraud and tax evasion charges, called Monday for higher taxes on business and denounced the post-Soviet privatization that made him rich.

Cotecna's job involved squaring the income from oil sales against the goods that were allegedly purchased . . . According to the best estimate of the nonpartisan US Government Accounting Office, Oil for Food generated at least $10 billion ($15.4 billion) for Saddam's family and a further $1 billion ($1.54 billion) to pay the 1000-plus UN bureaucrats who were supposed to be keeping it honest.

Phone-tap evidence and plea bargains are set to become admissible in courts under new government plans for a UK-style FBI agency to tackle organised crime.

Jim Angle trumped the slick marketing of 60 Minutes, and interviews with Richard Clarke by Larry King, PBS and TIME magazine with what can only be described as an incredible record keeping system and a tough as nails work ethic.

Judge Charles Pickering finally got the public hearing he deserved, and the competence, courage, and decency of the man shined through.

Sharon does not want us to confine our war on terror to those who attacked us on 9-11. He wants us to expand our list of enemies to include his list of enemies: Arafat, Hamas, Hezbollah, Syria, Iran, Saudi Arabia. He wants us to escalate "the firemen's war" into an American war on Israel's enemies, so, together, we can establish joint hegemony in the Middle East.

WE BELIEVE IF THE TREACHERY IN PLAY NOW UNRAVELS THAT ALL OF THOSE COMPLICIT INCLUDING MAJOR OIL COMPANIES, IF THEY ARE SHOWN TO BE COMPLICIT, WHICH WE NOW BELIEVE THEY SURELY ARE, WILL ALL HANG.

"There is clear-cut evidence from the Supreme Court, which ruled 11 years ago that a person cannot serve in a major national capacity if he is under indictment"

Great Britain, Denmark, Norway and Belgium are ready to provide their aircraft to guard the airspace of Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia, which are joining the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation.

HilLAIRy is an example of a FASCIUNIST !!!

Fasciunism (fash-iu-nism): A political philosophy combining fascism and communism, in order to take over a country, eliminate its sovereignty and turn it over to a one world government.

Fasciunist (fash-iu-nist): A person who believes in a one world government and who will do anything to see that it comes to pass, including giving up sovereignty and using fascist and communist tactics.

Unfortunately, our politicians, by cravenly obeying the wishes of Israel and its powerful U.S. lobby, have made us a part of the conflict. We've already paid in blood and treasure. Anybody who doesn't understand that the attack on 9/11 was directly related to the Palestinian and Israeli conflict hasn't been paying attention.

As Mr Blair outlined his Third Way philosophy, otherwise known as the big tent theory of politics, Col Gadafy trumped him. Delving into the pocket of his robe, he produced a copy of his governing text, the Third Universal Theory. Warming to his theme, Col Gadafy then offered tips on how to run a totalitarian state.

Vanunu's story – how he was abducted by the Mossad after leaking details of Israel's illegal nuclear program to the London Sunday Times – underscores not only the utter ruthlessness with which the Israelis pursue their interests, but also highlights the peculiar deference paid them by their enablers in the West.

Displaced natives may find work in other fields, but at far lower pay levels.

“If NATO remains a military alliance with its current offensive military doctrine, Russian military planning and principles of developing the armed forces, including its nuclear component, will be revised”.

The enemies of the US have become countless. The government's response was to make ever more enemies, which is what the recent US policy in Iraq has done.

The first President Bush lost his re-election bid for one primary reason: He disenfranchised his conservative base and allowed a surly Texas billionaire with a can-do attitude to siphon off precious votes of moderates and conservatives.

The half-page advertisement in the PLO's Al-Ayyam newspaper called on Palestinians to lay down their arms and turn to peaceful means of protest to end Israel's occupation of the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

"In fact, in most of America, a thoughtful, culturally conservative position that is based on principle is one that consistently is also good politics."

Traditionally, when Latin Americans elect governments that show even vague intentions of redistributing the lopsided national wealth toward the poor, US officials get their knickers in a twist and force new elections: the pro-US candidate then emerges.

This set the stage for similar privatization initiatives once Bush got to Washington. Bush’s proposed “Temporary Worker” program even privatizes the U.S. border, granting American businesses the power to sponsor immigrants into the U.S. through the simple expedient of posting a minimum wage job on a web site, waiting for Americans to ignore the paltry offer, then importing foreigners to take the work.

These also show that John McLaughlin, deputy to the CIA director George Tenet, had told the panel he too was worried that not enough was being done.

It's only by relying upon this small core of disillusioned ex-CIA employees that some of its highly secret actions can be uncovered. What we come to know is always but a minor fraction of the whole strategy and practical execution, but is still highly indicative of the CIA's modus operandi and political aims.

In making any sense of what happened not just last week, but five years ago and over the past 15 years in general, one has to understand the bitter background of the situation, which the American Empire did not resolve as much as force into an "illogical, immoral, and utterly untenable rearrangement of the Balkan architecture" (Trifkovic).

When Thomas Jefferson said "the price of freedom is eternal vigilance," he didn't mean eternal vigilance against people who might say unpleasant things about the U.S. government. He meant "eternal vigilance" against tyranny. And that, dear "patriots," is what patriotism is.

Many high ranking officials have come out and said that the Bush Administration has lied and exaggerrated selective intelligence to garner support for an Iraqi invasion. Many of whom are conservatives.

This striking pattern has become even more frequent and predictable since Ariel Sharon became Prime Minister in February 2001 and escalated Israel's assassination campaign against Palestinian militant leaders, particularly when the militant groups were involved in negotiating or upholding cease-fires on attacks on Israeli civilians.

Working through its consulates in the United States, the Mexican government is waging a war of subversion against our nation — with the silent complicity of Washington.

A behind-the-scenes look at some of the key globalist architects and apparatchiks responsible for launching and promoting NAFTA, FTAA and other ?free trade? traps.

If, by 2050, the America we grew up in has become a Tower of Babel of squabbling minorities that is falling apart, it will be because of the treason of the elites, and our lack of will to overthrow them.

Now why do I have the sneaking suspicion that eventually, one way or another, it's the U.S. taxpayer who's going to foot the bill for the Bracero program?

Following is the the transcript of public testimony from four high-ranking officials from the Bush and Clinton administrations before the independent commission investigating the Sept. 11 attacks, as recorded by Federal News Service.

Not until the day before the Sept. 11 attacks did U.S. officials settle on a strategy to overthrow the Taliban Afghan government if a final diplomatic push failed.
When do you think these bills were printed?

First, turn America into a bilingual or multi lingual and bicultural country. History shows that no nation can survive the tension, conflict and antagonism of two or more competing languages and cultures. The historical scholar Seymour Lipset put it this way, “The histories of bilingual and bicultural societies that do not assimilate are histories of turmoil, tension and tragedy.

The aforementioned suggests that Northeast Asia is the world hot-spot--not the Middle East.

Let us not forget that it was Israel, which in fact created Hamas. According to Zeev Sternell, historian at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, "Israel thought that it was a smart ploy to push the Islamists against the Palestinian Liberation Organisation (PLO)".

If Francis is correct in the observation that “Jewish Americans played a crucial role in pushing for mass immigration throughout the last century,” maybe the time is ripe for right-wing Jewish Americans to take the lead in undoing the damage.

Members pledge to always help each other, and the combination of this obligation and the secrecy of their vows encourages a disturbing tendency towards something Americans criticise elsewhere: crony capitalism.

When it does happen - and it's when not if - we just won't be prepared. The public have been told almost nothing about the threat, we have received no form of training, and the emergency services have been given no extra manpower to deal with the aftermath of an incident.

In terms of foreign policy, the differences are even smaller. Kerry's criticisms of Bush are purely tactical.

Why Won’t ABC Ask McCain About Democrats Subverting McCain-Feingold Law With Their New Anti-Bush Ads?

Israel will not wait for the next Hamas attack before taking action, but will strike whenever an opportunity presents itself.

"What does frighten Sharon ... is any prospect or sign of calm or moderation. If the situation were to calm down and stabilize, Sharon would have to return to the negotiating table and, in the wake of pressure from within and without, he would have to raise serious proposals for an agreement. This moment terrifies Sharon and he wants to put it off for as long as he possibly can."

Here is why it matters that Americans get serious about controlling our borders. According to the latest U.S. Census Bureau statistics, by 2050 non-Hispanic whites will comprise only 50 percent of a population expected to swell to 420 million people.

China has ordered its army on combat alert, ready to strike Taiwan if the island's election dispute intensifies, Hong Kong's South China Morning Post said on Monday.

ARIEL SHARON led a chorus of Israeli support for the assassination, saying it had rid Israel of the Palestinians' "chief terrorist". "I would like to thank the defence apparatus and its various branches for this morning's operation," Mr Sharon said.

Tony Blair remained publicly silent as tens of thousands took to the streets in London and Glasgow while the former Labour foreign secretary, Lord Owen, used the occasion to call on Blair to stand down, saying his “shelf-life” was almost over and he should not repeat the mistake of Margaret Thatcher by staying too long.

The FBI acted on information that someone may have used the service for hacking. It was within its jurisdiction, obtaining a warrant for the search and seizure. But it's what they could do with those servers and the information stored on them that really has me spooked.

People are finding this Patriot Act so oppressive and disgusting that groups of all stripes are banding together to denounce it. Conservative organizations have joined liberal groups to tell the president that - they reject the idea that it is necessary to sacrifice civil liberties in order to increase security.

The assassination of Hamas' spiritual leader Sheikh Ahmed Yassin by Israeli forces is an indication that Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon has embarked on a high-risk strategy.

The killing of Sheikh Yassin pushed the violence far beyond any recognisable measure. It is pushing the Palestinian masses towards martyrdom.

Announcing Yassin's death, the Hamas leadership said, "Sharon has opened the gates of hell and nothing will stop us from cutting off his head," referring to Prime Minister Ariel Sharon."

1) The war on terror is a colossal flop.
2) Shows the link between Al Qaeda and the Iraqi resistance to the American invasion.
3) Shows just how shallow and ill-conceived the whole war on Iraq itself was.
4) Al Qaeda remains capable of carrying out massive acts of terror but that it understands the political strategy that always controls any kind of deliberate violence, conventional or terrorist.

Also lending its support is Empower America, the neo-conservative front group established by William Kristol, editor and publisher of billionaire Rupert Murdoch?s Weekly Standard, which is said to be the ?intellectual? journal that governs the train of foreign policy thinking in the Bush administration.

Sir John called for a "pan-European" structure for analysing information along the lines of Europol, the Hague-based centre for handling criminal intelligence.

For there is no party in Washington that speaks for those of us who believe America should stay out of these religious and tribal wars from Morocco to Malaysia where no vital US interest is at risk. There is only one vital interest in this region -- oil, and Iran and the Arabs must sell it to survive, no matter the regime in power.

The claim of victimhood is no longer enough to make listeners suspend their critical faculties, even when made by a noted feminist.

Gibbs’ TruVote machine is a marvel. After voters touch the screen, a paper ballot prints out under plexiglass and once the voter compares it to his actual vote and approves it, the ballot drops into a lockbox and is issued a numbered receipt. The voter’s receipt allows the tracking of his particular vote to make sure that it was transferred from the polling place to the election tabulation center.

The plan called for blowing up several Manhattan subway stations along with the Humble Oil refinery in Linden New Jersey and Statue of Liberty.

The answer to the second question is simple: the great American newspapers censored themselves. They became, if you like, patriotically deaf. In the post-9/11 atmosphere they had no editorial strategy for coping with George Bush’s moral authority, and no editorial will to devise one.

There have been at least as many terrorist operations in the past year as there were in the previous 12 months, and that is with an estimated two-thirds of al-Qaeda's known leadership dead or behind bars.

The antiwar movement should focus not on candidates but on the underlying decency of the vast majority of Americans and their moral superiority to the ruling, war-making class. Never again should we allow the war-makers to claim to speak for "the silent majority."

Over the past seven days, we've seen fourteen occurrences of either new lies or revelations of old ones. Here's a summary, with links to the original news sources:

In replying to these questions, both men were breaking a cardinal Bonesman rule - namely that when the club was mentioned in conversation a Bonesman should leave the room or deny membership in such a way that his denial both confirmed his membership and brought the discussion to an end.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has called the actions of Kosovo Albanians ethnic cleansing against Serbs, reported president's press-services . . . According to Putin, "there has to be immediate reaction to protect Serbs".

An eleventh-hour attempt to influence the outcome of Taiwan's presidential elections through an assassination try on the incumbent president Chen Shui-bian produced a contested vote that has sharply polarised the public in this island of 23 million people. Chen, the leader of the Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) who survived Friday's assassination attempt, barely won re-election by 30,000 votes on Saturday. His opponent Lien Chan, leader of the Nationalist party, or Kuomintang, said the vote was invalid and demanded a recount.

A war fought on false pretenses is still a war where more than 500 American soldiers have died, billions of taxpayer dollars have been wasted and what little remained of this country’s credibility on the world stage has been lost.

On March 13 the Iranian news agency Mehr reported a story that, if true, is surely the biggest news of this election year: "U.S. forces have unloaded a large cargo of parts for constructing long-range missiles and weapons of mass destruction (WMD) in the southern ports of Iraq. A reliable source from the Iraqi Governing Council, speaking on condition of anonymity, told the Mehr News Agency that U.S. forces, with the help of British forces stationed in southern Iraq, had made extensive efforts to conceal their actions."

Washington has now inherited the identical problem faced by imperial Britain when, in order to control the region’s recently discovered oil, it stitched together three disparate Ottoman vilyats to create the Frankenstein state of Iraq.

Nato rushed 1,000 extra troops to Kosovo last night - 750 of them British - and Germany announced it will send 600 additional troops amid fears that the Balkans were again sliding towards a conflagration that could suck in neighbouring countries.

Observing a double anniversary: blowback from Kosovo and Iraq.

Kosovo today is a gangster state ruled by armed gangs that deal in drugs, prostitution, and extortion: the ethnic cleansing of the last remaining Serbs from the land of their forefathers has been going on since the "liberation," and is only being noticed now that it is reaching a blood-soaked crescendo.

The Taiwenese election race has been emotional and hotly-contested, dominated by the issue of China, Taiwan's biggest rival. While Mr Chen is pushing for a policy of independence, Mr Chan has opted for a softer approach.

The Justice Dept., FBI, and Drug Enforcement Administration delivered an 83-page petition to the Federal Communications Commission demanding dramatic new surveillance powers. If they're approved, the FBI would have the right to require Internet service providers (ISPs), voice over Internet protocol (VoIP) companies, and others that rely on broadband access to the Net to redesign their networks to support standards designed by law enforcement for wiretapping and tracing.

"The problem is not with just the Bush administration -- it is about U.S. power, it's about America's sense of itself."

NASA (news - web sites) has developed a computer program that comes close to reading thoughts not yet spoken, by analyzing nerve commands to the throat.

Jorgensen's team found that sensors under the chin and one each side of the Adam's apple pick up the brain's commands to the speech organs, allowing the subauditory, or "silent speech" to be captured.

''we believe that the sides should not be incited by the extreme elements to preserve the tranquility that is on sensitive balances which the international community exert great efforts to maintain. We also believe that the sides should act with restraint to prevent the incidents from reaching dimensions that would threaten stability and security of the region.'' FOREIGN MINISTRY

"In Oct. 2001, this country passed an ignominious milestone: For the first time ever, the number of college-educated unemployed surpassed the number of unemployed who don't have high school diplomas" . . . Unable to pay for its imports with exports, the U.S. is paying by giving up ownership of its assets.

In a first sign of official criticism in Poland of the US-led invasion of Iraq, President Aleksander Kwasniewski said that his country had been "taken for a ride" about the alleged existence of weapons of mass destruction in the strife-torn country.

"Terrorism cannot be defeated only by the force of arms, and if we give the impression that weapons play the dominant role, we will only stir up nationalist feelings among the Arabs against us," said European Affairs Minister Rocco Buttiglione.

In terms of national interests, Spain had nothing at stake in America’s war with Iraq . . . The whole notion that the 21st century can suddenly revert to the 18th and governments can fight wars in which the people and vital national interests are not involved is absurd.

The bill establishes a supreme court, abolishes the post of lord chancellor and removes the right of law lords to sit in the upper house.

Foreign Report was told by a well-placed source that discussion in the US on Kosovo's future revolves around the 'Austrian model'.

"There is a huge gap" between the perspectives of Americans and the others, noted Pew director Andrew Kohut. "The gap isn't narrowing in these surveys; if anything, it's widening".

Our politicians and our evangelical leaders assure us that America is the most blessed nation on earth. Many claim we are blessed by God because we, as a nation, have blessed Israel. But is this true?

Nothing, however, compares to the U.S. global empire. What makes U.S. hegemony unique is that it consists, not of control over great land masses or population centers, but of a global presence unlike that of any other country in history. According to the Department of Defense publication, "Active Duty Military Personnel Strengths by Regional Area and by Country," the United States has troops in 135 countries. Here is the list:

As if asylum in the United States isn’t already a generous enough racket for illegal aliens, the Treason Lobby is salivating at the possibility that Attorney General John Ashcroft and Homeland Security Secretario Ridge will open the door even wider by making “gender persecution” and domestic violence grounds for asylum.

Well, the military suffers for the same reason public education suffers. Essentially it is an organization designed and run by politicians and bureaucrats.

John Kerry the Democratic candidate -- showing that there's not a nickels worth of difference between the major parties on this issue -- has pledged his strong support for Israel and vowed not to follow the Oslo path (spoken like a true Likudnik).

The outsourcing train has left the station with many top financial, health care, tax reporting and credit reporting companies on board. The business process outsourcing market in India alone is expected to grow 54% to $3.6 billion by the end of this quarter.

Most people in Europe opposed the war on Iraq, and they do not see a war on civil liberties as an effective antidote to terrorism.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s writings reveal the true intentions of radical feminism: achieve a gender-less society and impose totalitarian ideals on American society.

ONLY McGLORY DOESN'T HAVE one bit of the emerald isle in him . . . And neither is Kerry. He's a mix, Eastern European mostly. His paternal grandfather, as everyone now knows, was a Jew from Austria-Hungary. After the Globe blew the lid off this story last year, Kerry was forced to acknowledge he may have (cough) allowed people to believe he was an Irishman.

It is about our country’s identity and whether or not we will continue to be the greatest country on the face of the earth or whether we will elect ourselves into being the cash cow for a multicultural globalist society, a world community hell-bent on embracing socialism instead of democracy.

The hypocrisy doesn’t end there, either. When the news media confronts the topic of broadcast indecency, they are quick to give credibility to the “censorship” argument, but then censor out the very content that’s under discussion.

Without addressing the controversies over the war and the troubled occupation of Iraq, Bush said that the Dutch should "think about the Iraqi citizens who don't want people to withdraw because they want to be free."

Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez also said he would not recognize the Haitian transition government being formed by Prime Minister Gerard Latortue. An official said none of the 11 of 13 Cabinet ministers chosen so far came from Aristide's Lavalas Family Party.

A year into the E-voting crisis, shouldn't we have noticed the printer that is already built in each Diebold voting machine?

Is terrorism, then, like beauty, in the eye of the beholder?

The 1920s epic poem on the Civil War written by Stephen Vincent Benet would be titled, "John Brown's Body." And the first lines of the fighting song of the Union army were: "John Brown's body lies a-mouldering in the grave, but his soul goes marching on. Glory, glory hallelujah."

Most European politicians and intellectuals - apart from Blair, Berlusconi, Aznar and their friends - consider that the Bush administration's response to asymmetric warfare has only served to increase the threat. It's a classic reductio ad absurdum.

Utopian Dreamers: The ILO report 'A Fair Globalisation: Creating Opportunities for All' was prepared by the World Commission on the Social Dimension of Globalisation.

By condemning the Iraq war as a disaster, and blasting the government for getting Spain involved, he emerges as a leading spokesman for sanity at a time when the lunatics have taken over the management of governments in the West. It is a credit to the Spanish population to have opposed their government's involvement in the Iraq war to begin with, and to let that opposition show itself in an election.

Kerry is a card-carrying member of the moral minority. He voted against the Defense of Marriage Act even Clinton signed, and opposes the death penalty even for Willie Horton. He believes homosexuals should have the same right to form matrimonial unions as heterosexuals and supports abortion up until the final minutes of pregnancy. Kerry even voted not to outlaw that grisly form of infanticide known as "partial-birth abortion."

The country above all where more meaningful democracy is needed is the United States, and what has happened in Spain can help inspire us to greater achievements. First of all, we should realize that Spain has something that does not exist here in the United States; it has a major political party that wants to end its participation in the war against Iraq very quickly.

"Mr Blair and Mr Bush must do some reflection ... you can't organise a war with lies"

Dominique de Villepin, the French foreign minister, urged Mr Zapatero to move quickly to agree a constitution, which has been under debate since 2002 and represents the EU's most sensitive unfinished business.

"Perhaps Mr. Aznar, the Spanish Prime Minister and Mr. Blair should look at themselves in the mirror and wonder whether their years of reckless policy towards Iraq and the unleashing of bombs in Afghanistan has anything to do with the horrors in Madrid."

During the last session of the Organization of the Islamic Conference (OIC) held in Malaysia, Putin expressed Russia’s interest in increasing cooperation with Islamic countries and joining the 57-member OIC.

Terrorism has been exclusively portrayed as the action of non-State actors against the State. This is a most convenient definition for strong military states like US, UK and Israel, with State terrorism never raised in any discourse on the subject.

"It's possible," the headline answers, "but more likely they will continue to straddle two worlds, figuring out ways to remain Hispanic even as they become Americans."

One way is through its "Bio-Revolution" program which seeks to "harness the insights and power of biology to make U.S. warfighters and their equipment... more effective."

But what about the American people? Almost without exception, the people of the world have opposed this war and anti-American feelings are running high nearly everywhere.

The Defense Sciences Office is interested in proposals to develop innovative science and technology capable of affording superior physiological qualities to the warfighter.

Advertising revenue is the number one concern of newspaper editors and editorial integrity is often subordinated to placate advertisers . . . In our multicultural society, political correctness has become the lingua franca of newspapers.

Two hours before the polls closed in Madrid, Condoleezza Rice, Mr Bush's national security adviser, was on network television proclaiming her belief that "the Spanish people understand that they've had strong and good leadership in Jos? Maria Aznar and his government".

Spanish voters seem to have decided that being close to the US is a risky proposition.

The government is taking the first steps toward a targeted military draft of Americans with special skills in computers and foreign languages. "But they thought that if we have any kind of a draft, it will probably be a special skills draft."

A powerful White House official told me, prior to his elevation, that "we (Jewish Americans) have step by step upped our influence in every state. We now have the lieutenant governorships, the state controllers. Now we are everywhere.

All citizens of the European Union have equal rights, but some seem to be more citizens than others as the bloc expands from 15 to 25 states, with restrictions on international movements of people from the new Eastern European members.

In a huge victory for pro-life advocates, members of the U.S. Senate have agreed to have a debate and vote on the Unborn Victims of Violence Act as early as the week of March 22. The Senate has never before voted on this pro-life legislation, that would allow prosecutors to hold criminals accountable when they kill or injure an unborn child as a result of an attack on a pregnant woman.

"Washington failed to put through its draft resolution to the agency's Board of Governors. Practically all of the countries stated their position, which was approval of Iran's aspiration for cooperation and the creation of an atmosphere of confidence in resolving the problem of nuclear programs".

Julian Peel-Yates said that basic democratic principles, including "vibrant political discourse and meaningful pluralism", were lacking in the election and that it "failed to meet important commitments such as treatment by state-controlled media on a fair basis and the secrecy of the vote".

Critics of the existing foreign or domestic order will not take over Washington this November . . . But America will be more prudent and the world will be far safer only if the Bush Administration is constrained by a lack of allies and isolated.

Socialist voters may not have worked out the arithmetic; Jose Zapatero's supporter in the street simply does not want to be burdened with America's distant wars, especially if they draw fire at home.

Russia's assertiveness is likely to be evident both at home and abroad, with its tough stance in the war on Chechnya unlikely to soften and with a more robust approach towards neighboring countries like Georgia and Ukraine backed by the increasing stakes taken by Russian companies in those countries' energy industries, the New York Times reported, quoting a new CIA assessment.

"The Spanish troops in Iraq will come home" . . . "The war in Iraq was a disaster, the occupation of Iraq is a disaster."

Baffled conservatives who are wondering how health care can be a "right" in Iraq, and a product in capitalist America, might consider that we're exporting democratic socialism rather than just democracy to Iraq.

Had Bush chosen to press the fight against al Qaeda itself, and not Iraq, Spain and Aznar and all those dead would not now be on the forefront of the carnage.

It all started with Brown — or rather, with a willingness to tolerate dubious constitutional reasoning for the sake of getting desired results. Since 1954, judicial review has come to mean liberal tyranny, as liberal courts have imposed their arbitrary will.

What made this evening so remarkable was that the power-elite’s secrets were being revealed in all their dirty detail on 500+ different radio stations. This broadcast had such an impact that the following morning it even cracked the mainstream media by being discussed on C-SPAN, along with scores of other websites.

The Americans and British warned of the dangers of civil war - so did the journalists, of course - although no Iraqi had ever been heard to utter any demand for conflict with their fellow citizens. Who actually wanted this "civil war"? Why would the Sunnis - a minority in the country - allow "al-Qaeda" to bring this about when they could not defeat the occupying power without at least passive Shia support?

And for "strategic" read oil. Not for nothing is this land known in US government circles as the "Kuwait of the Gulf of Guinea". Not without reason has President Bush welcomed President Obiang, a confirmed if not convicted corrupt despot, to the White House. He may be a despot, but as presider over an oil-rich state, he is their despot.

Now, as part of its deal with the IMF, Argentina says that it will recognise the committee, and that it will give formal powers to the banks it has appointed to deal with creditors.

You don't need a Ph.D. in economics to see that our present course is not sustainable. In fact, with entitlement programs the single biggest federal expenditure, assuming no fundamental, structural changes, Social Security and Medicare alone will break the bank.

The book contains documentation from eyewitnesses who said they've seen Mexican military and paramilitary police assisting Mexican nationals with crossing illegally into the U.S. And witnesses have described how some Mexican army and federal police units actually provide armed cover for smugglers packing drugs into our country.
