from New York.

 

 

A Bid to Repair a Presidency

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/091605J.shtml

Hurricane Katrina struck at the core of Bush's presidency by

undermining the central assertion of his reelection campaign, that he

was a

strong and decisive leader who could keep the country safe in a crisis.

Never again will the White House be able to point to his often-praised

performance after the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, without skeptics

recalling

the fumbling and slow-off-the-mark response of his administration after

the hurricane and the flooding in New Orleans.

Roberts hearing, Michael Schwartz, Tom Coburn's chief of staff, told him,

Voting May Be Life-and-Death Choice for Afghans

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/091605M.shtml

Nearly four years after the Taliban government was routed from

Afghanistan by American-led forces, a newly emboldened insurgency has

stepped

up a campaign of threats and thuggery on the eve of the country's

parliamentary and provincial elections, particularly in the badlands

of the

country's south. Elsewhere, the presence of former warlords on the

ballot has led to charges of voter intimidation.

 

 

Chip Ward | Left Behind: Bush's Holy War on Nature

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/091605N.shtml

Chip Ward tells us that the Bush administration's environmental record

is lousy. More than lousy, it is potentially disastrous. But why? At

first glance, it's easy enough to understand. Philosophically,

Republicans believe in the power of the marketplace to shape behavior.

Their

animosity toward government regulation is long-standing. They

emphasize the

rights of private-property owners over any notion of the commons, and

so are comfortable letting corporations pursue profit at the expense of

air or water quality.

showing how quickly gay nuptials have moved from being a court-ordered

imposition to a powerful political cause.
