Newest Articles By Michael Hammerschlag NSA DIRECTOR ODOM DISSECTS IRAQ BLUNDERS " The invasion wasn't in our interests, it was in Iran's interest, Al Qaida's interest. Seeing America invade must have made Iranian leaders ecstatic.... Iraq is now open to Al Qaida, which it never was before- it's easier for terrorists to kill Americans there than in the US.. Neither our leaders or the mainstream media recognize the perversity of key US policies now begetting outcomes they were designed to prevent.

By Kall, Rob Joke: Just Like Sheldon By Robert Koehler A Sense Of Urgency David Swanson of afterdowningstreet.org has written: " If Democrats want to end this war (and they do), they will need to replace every Harman in Washington with a Winograd. " What's at stake is the enfranchisement of the anti-war majority, whose voice in the national debate is a minuscule percentage of its numbers. What's at stake is our transition to a sustainable way of living on this planet.

It is the proper way to learn to live together. " By Amelia Thomas Mulit-purpose Peace Park Planned To Straddle Jordan River At the hot, dusty tourist site of Old Gesher, a few kilometers below the Sea of Galilee in northeastern Israel and just meters from the barbed-wire border with Jordan, a unique project is underway, which aims to allow Jordanians and Israelis to meet on common ground - without the restrictions and stresses of visas, permits and border crossing - for the very first time. By Joseph Flesh Israeli Arab Restauranteur Is A True Optimist Jawdat Ibrahim won the Illinois state lottery, and returned home to Abu Ghosh in 1993 $22 million richer than when he left. Upon his return, the first thing he did was to establish a fund that handed out scholarships to both Arab and Jewish university students. Integration and coexistence are Ibrahim's two great passions, and he does everything he can to foster them. By Eslyn Brown, Author Unknown Bush And The Queen: Another Joke George W.

By Mary Howe Kiraly Reality Check: Reporting From Maryland For voting integrity activists in Maryland, the 2006 Legislative Session ended as a disappointment and a reality check. We began the session believing that, if we could pass a paper ballot bill in the House of Delegates, this legislation was a certainty in the State Senate (where similar legislation had 23 of 47 Senators on board as co-sponsors). How wrong we were. By Marcia Hanscom, Wetlands Action Network Action Alert: Fax Today/call On Monday! For Herons, Hawks And Eagles Our organization is in full support of passage of AB1924 which would close a loophole that has fully prevented the State from protecting Herons, Egrets, Hawks and Eagles and the huge nests they work so hard build for their families. By The PEN (People's Email Network) 1000 Days Left; Honesty, Integrity And Trust Really Do Matter Iraq is presently sitting on top of two trillion gallons of unrefined crude, and could have paid for their own liberation. Three years ago, the Administration had that specific proposal before it and failed to pursue it because it was a Democratic idea. This Administration has never vetoed a spending bill and we are over eight trillion dollars in debt, mismanagement, you bet.

By Jeanyne Wanner TeenScreen - Stealing Our Children's Future Our next generation of children is in grave danger. TeenScreen is working insidiously in schools to find children who can become the psychiatric/pharmaceutical industry's next cash cow. Bolstered by Bush's very stupidly named " New Freedom Commission " , TeenScreen is being pushed secretly into schools. This may be good for the drug business but is very bad for our children and, factually, for the future of this entire society.

By Richard Mathis Washington, Jefferson And The Apostles Couldn't Be Citizens In A Reconstructionist Theocracy The radical right Reconstructionist movement would impose Old Testament law so drastic on America that even the founding fathers and the disciples of Jesus couldn't be citizens.

Privatized records, managed by Choicepoint, the company that disnenfranchises black voters. By Philadelphia Councilwoman Wants War Referendum In November too bad it can't be held in May, to bring out more progressives and liberals By Flawed Justice By Molly Ivins I doubt it will startle any citizen to read that the quality of justice in this country is deeply affected by how much you can afford to pay for it. If Zacarias Moussaoui could afford the jury coach Jeff Skilling has sitting in the courtroom, he'd doubtlessly be less at risk. But in both cases there is the same feeling that maybe we've missed the point -- the real culprits in Moussaoui case were the FBI higher-ups who stifled the investigation and have never paid any price. In the Enron case, our political system should be a co-defendant -- campaign contributions, lobbyists, sell-outs and all. By Patriot's Day. The Revolution Will Not Be Televised... From NH The thing with machines, NH Sec. of State Gardner said, is that people want to trust them. But when the machine makes a mistake, people are unforgiving. They don't know if it was a mistake, or if it was intentional. And they never trust that machine again. They are unforgiving and they lose faith. But when a person makes a mistake, people forgive that person. They expect humans to make mistakes, and they continue to trust each other even after they make mistakes. And this is the crux of it. Once we stop trusting in our elections, we lose our freedom. Once we stop believing in the legitimacy of the outcome, it is no longer legitimate. By Congressman Conyers Continues FOIA Request Battle With Depts Of Defense, State Over Iraq War Related Documents Neither the Republican-led House Judiciary Committee, nor the International Relations Committee has held a single official hearing or heard from even one witness on any of these matters since the Downing Street documents were first revealed almost a year ago. The Judiciary Committee Democrats held their own hearing to investigate the Downing Street documents in June of last year in a small room in the basement of the U.S. Capitol Building after Republicans denied them the use of an official hearing room. All Republican members of the Committee, though they were invited, refused to attend. As well, the House Leadership scheduled an historically unprecedented 11 roll-call votes in a row that day in apparent hopes of disrupting the hearings. By Show Us Your Inner Gore-Tex, Al: Grow The Beard Back And Run " In U.S. politics, as in 'Grizzly Adams' reruns, " writes Freezerbox's Alexander Zaitchik, a man with a beard was liable to be viewed as, if not a survivalist, a dangerous iconoclast. But now, surrounded by the " scary animal noises " coming from the White House, it's time for a rugged individualist like Gore to lead us out of the wilderness. By Feingold's PAC Gets Big Spike In Contributions After He Calls For Censure Sen. Russ Feingold's call for censuring President Bush appears to have paid dividends for the senator's political action committee. By A Man Who Would Be King: Director Kevin Keating Talks About Giuliani Time By Forrest Gump's Evil Twin How extraordinary. Something is happening here that has never happened in America's history. A consensus is sweeping the nation. Not that the war in Iraq is wrong, or that oil companies are screwing us blue, or that the climate is going to hell, or that good-paying jobs are being replaced by low-paying jobs, or that our national health care system is a disgrace, or that that the rich are getting a lot richer while the middle class gets poorer. While all that's true, and more and more folks are getting it, that's not the consensus of which I speak. Nope. This one is bigger, enormous, huge! Here it is: The President of the United States is a moron. By Generals Underline Rumsfeld's Folly ....the question may not be whether the president will call for his resignation, but how long Rumsfeld will want to serve as his influence wanes. By Grand Jury Hears Evidence Vs. Rove Just as the news broke Wednesday about Scott McClellan resigning as White House press secretary and Deputy Chief of Staff Karl Rove shedding some of his policy duties, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald met with the grand jury hearing evidence in the CIA leak case and introduced additional evidence against Rove, attorneys and other US officials close to the investigation said. The grand jury session in federal court in Washington, DC, sources close to the case said, was the first time this year that Fitzgerald told the jurors that he would soon present them with a list of criminal charges he intends to file against Rove in hopes of having the grand jury return a multi-count indictment against Rove. By Rove's " demotion " Means He Now Sets His Unscrupulous Sights Squarely On Nov. Midterms. Democrats Better Watch Out In short, Rove is a bad dude. He will do everything in his power, and then some, to get his clients elected and keep them in power. That he is now 100% dedicated to the ReTHUGlicans' re-election efforts this November is by no means a demotion, a reduction of his power, or an action that should be taken by the Democrats as anything but downright frightening. This is a wake-up call to the left. The enemy has just moved its most powerful weapon straight to the front lines. By Optical Scan Voting System Will Fail In May Primary Predicts Election Official In OH Now, in what is clearly a show of " No Confidence " in their voting machine vendor ES & S, the county elections director is predicting failure with the system in the May 2 Ohio state primary. Summit County Board of Elections Director Bryan Williams is predicting Election Day failures with the memory cards in the county's new optical scan voting system. ``I don't think we can assume anything else,'' Williams said at a meeting Tuesday, where the elections board reviewed the latest list of troubles. By Oregon Sues ES & S For Breach Of Contract In addition to the state and county suits, a class action Securities Fraud complaint has been filed by shareholders against Diebold for, amongst other reasons, failing to disclose known problems with their electronic voting systems. Additional legal proceedings are currently in the works in several other states as well, The BRAD BLOG has learned, and so far we've only had two of 50 state primaries in 2006, the first year that HAVA kicks in in full. Both primaries so far, in Texas and Illinois, revealed massive electile dysfunctions as machines failed, tabulations were found to be inaccurate, and final results were delayed due to numerous equipment problems. Stay tuned to The BRAD BLOG for (unfortunately) virtually exclusive continuing coverage of America's 2006 E-Voting Meltdown... By Bush Gave Plum Jobs To Supporters Who Worked Recount John Bolton, undersecretary of state for arms control, caused a stir in May by accusing the Cuban government of transferring bioweapons technology to rogue nations. Nineteen months ago, he caused a different stir - bursting into a Tallahassee library on behalf of the Bush-Cheney campaign to stop a recount of Miami-Dade County ballots. Matt Schlapp, a former congressional aide, is currently White House special assistant to the president and deputy director of political affairs. In November 2000, he was part of the supposedly spontaneous window-pounding protest at Miami-Dade County Hall that brought to an end the first recount of Miami-Dade ballots.
