Rumsfeld Forgets Sept. 11 Heroes
(Did somebody say "let's roll"?)
"And I think all of us have a sense if we imagine the kind of world we would face if the people who bombed the mess hall in Mosul, or the people who did the bombing in Spain, or the people who attacked the United States in New York, shot down the plane over Pennsylvania and attacked the Pentagon, the people who cut off peoples' heads on television to intimidate, to frighten -- indeed the word "terrorized" is just that. Its purpose is to terrorize, to alter behavior, to make people be something other than that which they want to be." -- Donald Rumsfeld, December, 24th, 2004

Top Iraqi General: Troops Willing to Fight
By Bassem Mroue / Associated Press
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraq's top general on Sunday rejected President Bush's criticism that some Iraqi government troops were unwilling to fight insurgents and have deserted the battlefield, saying the president had been misinformed.
I am quite certain Iraq's top general is absolutely correct in his estimation of George Walker Bush the Commander and Chief of the USA military and NOT the Iraqi military. INDEED !!

Buy Blue
You may have voted blue... But every day you unknowingly help dump millions of dollars into the conservative war chest. By purchasing products and services from companies that donate heavily to conservatives, we have been defeating our own interests as liberals and progressives.
BuyBlue.org is a concerted effort to lift the veil of corporate patronage so consumers can make informed buying decisions that coincide with their principles.

In Today's America there is a more powerful act than voting blue, and that's BUYING BLUE!

THE MARCH OF FREEDOMA bigshot in the main Nicaraguan opposition political party runs into problems with the Department of Homeland security. So long as you aren't a Central American leftist, you women will have a "modified patdown" at the airport. And despite budget problems, Big Brother shuttles off to Hawaii. What sort of commission does a travel agent get for booking a $23 million getaway?

Ohio: A Crime Against Democracy
By Stuart Comstock-Gay / Tom Paine
The Bush electors in Ohio have cast their votes, even though the bitterly contested ballots that allegedly gave them standing as electors have not been recounted. When asked, the mainstream media will admit that there were rampant problems with this election. But there's no juicy story for them to cover because they don't believe a recount would change the outcome of the election. Thus, they neglect what's happening in Ohio. Here Comstock-Gay explains why it matters. For the best of TomPaine.com's coverage of the problems with election 2004, click here.
Stuart Comstock-Gay is executive director of the National Voting Rights Institute.
