Planned security measures have some folks up in arms
Scott McMurren -Anchorage Daily News
...According to the American Civil Liberties Union, the CAPPS
II program would collect information about individuals including financial
and transactional data that could include credit card and other consumer
purchase data, housing information, communications records, health records
and other sources of information about us. It would also make use of public
source information such as law enforcement and legal records. |
War critics struggle to get public forum
By Geneive Abdo, Globe Correspondent, 3/28/2003
WASHINGTON-- This is the outlook on the war that Ben Cohen,
the ice cream mogul of Ben & Jerry's, thinks Americans should be able to see
on television: Actress Susan Sarandon asking, ''What did Iraq do to us?''
and Edward Peck, a former US ambassador to Iraq, replying, ''Nothing . . .
Iraq has nothing to do with terrorism or Al Qaeda.''
But the major networks did not accept that ad, which was produced for
Cohen's activist group, TrueMajority.org. A spokesman for CNN, one of the
networks that rejected the ad, said that the cable channel does not run
''advocacy ads about regions in conflict.'' The ad eventually ran on local
cable stations in Washington, New York, and Los Angeles. |

Today's cartoon was not created
by me. All Hat No Cattle is IN a cartoon and I thought I'd share it
with you. Actually I am humbled to be in between the Onion and
WhiteHouse.org. The cartoon/shutdown notice was found at this website
Internet Weekly Report which is a smart savvy site. My pal Bill
Sterner found it. |

The ground begins to roll and tumble. The earth breaks open as decayed,
rotten limbs break through the crumbling dirt. The dead rise from the
crypts. The hacks ascend from the graves of politicians.
Joe Scarborough, Jesse Ventura, and Newt Gingrich are back. They are wearing
new shoes, with new agents, enjoying the bountiful world of lifestyle
journalism.

In 1996, the House Ethics Committee said Speaker Newt Gingrich violated
House rules by having close dealings with a wealthy GOP contributor who had
business interests affected by congressional legislation. It was the third
time in two months the panel had notified Gingrich that he'd broken the
rules. |
Protest
Letters To MSNBC Draw Savage Response
Washington Post, DC The
hiring of Savage, former House majority leader Dick Armey and former GOP
congressman Joe Scarborough of Florida was announced as MSNBC was in the
process of canceling "Donahue" after just seven months. This has sparked
criticism that the network, which has also signed former Minnesota governor
Jesse Ventura, is pandering to the right. Donahue said last week he believes
MSNBC is trying to "out-Fox Fox" by appealing to conservative viewers.
This article is a couple of weeks old but the
message is stronger than ever -- there is no "liberal media". |
"Much of Central America is in the
coalition mostly because we already liberated them repeatedly, vigorously and
covertly, and believe me, they don't want to go through one of those liberations
again." —Jon Stewart

"I thought we should act as their
protector -- not try to get them under our heel.... But now -- why, we have
got into a mess, a quagmire from which each fresh step renders the
difficulty of extrication immensely greater." - Mark Twain commenting on

SUPPORT OUR TROOPS -
NEVER VOTE FOR A BUSH AGAIN |

The Best Unregulated Families
BY MARGIE BURNS
In spring 1999, Marvin Pierce Bush, youngest brother of George W. Bush, was
a nominee for the boards of directors of two companies, both with a
significant interest in security at the World Trade Center. One was HCC
Insurance, formerly Houston Casualty Company, a giant holding company and
major insurance carrier for the center. The other was a security company
named Stratesec, one of the center's numerous security contractors.
Bush, however, did not list his directorship at Stratesec on the proxy
statement for HCC, and did not list his connections with HCC on the proxy
statement for Stratesec.
According to officials at the Securities and Exchange Commission and other
experts, listing other directorships is required, in proxy statements, for
directors and officers of public companies.

Guess
who thinks questions about whether the conflict is going more slowly than
planned are "silly" and not borne out by what is happening on the ground in
Iraq?
