1. Are the "liberals" finding
their voices?
2. Why our letters to the editor are so
important
3. How to end terrorism
4. NH 9-11 widow sues Bush and Co
5. Latest US tactic to control people
in villages has some pretty ugly historical and contemporary
associations.
***************
1. Interesting perspective on the state
of the "liberal" voice in the US - the question is, are there enough
of us?
2. Clearly the media is biased and as a
result the people are ignorant. Our factual letters to the editor
become even more important as a result, as another strategy for
counteracting the constant spin in the mainstream press. People
really do read the letters - I had two women at Laconia Savings Bank
come up to me and thank me for my recent letter about Bush's
"accomplishments."
3. Here's a good list to review in case
you need to be able to respond to someone who thinks the war in Iraq
is a great strategy in the so-called war on terrorism.
4. Ellen Mariani refuses to be bought
off by the victims' compensation funds, and has filed a suit in
Federal Court. Copy of complaint, her open letter to GWB, and the
only press release that made it into the media (out of 3000 sent)
can be found at this site.
5. US Forces are wrapping entire
villages in barbed wire, similar to the Israeli treatment of
Palestinians. I have read articles about the racist aspects of this
war - see the quote at the end of the article for an example. Check
this one out soon, as the NY Times starts charging for articles
pretty soon after they are posted.
