The Ground Rules for Fighting Terrorism :http://www.lewrockwell.com/browne/browne63.html
- Rule #1: No solution is going to be perfect
- Rule #2: It is American foreign policy that has provoked the attacks
- Rule #3: Bombing foreign countries doesn't end terrorism, it provokes it
- Rule #4: The terrorist attacks are a criminal matter, not a war
- Rule #5: If you think you or America is entitled to something, reverse the positions and see how you'd react
- Rule #6: Government does not do anything well even those functions delegated to it by the Constitution
- Rule #7: There's no way to eliminate all terrorism in the world
======In case you missed it: Wasnt Jesus A Liberal?
Liberalism has been under assault for years now. The battering of this grand political philosophy has altered the contemporary definition of liberal to the point that Conservatives use it as a profane word. They use it to paint a political opponent as anti-God and anti-American. It has gotten to the point that moderate and liberal Christians are afraid to be open about their political leanings.

======CIC ASKS WHY CANADIAN MEDIA ARE SILENT AFTER NAZARETH CHURCH ATTACKED FRIDAY BY JEWISH EXTREMISTS
"Why didn't Canadian Jewish groups condemn this cowardly crime?" asked the CIC statement
Following Friday's attack on a Nazareth church, the Canadian Islamic Congress is speaking out in support of Palestinian Christians whose precarious minority status in Israel is almost completely ignored by the rest of the world.

======Israeli Couple Attacks Christian Shrine
An Israeli couple, joined by a young woman reported to be their daughter, entered one of Christianity's holiest sites on Friday and set off a series of small explosions, sparking a riot that left six people wounded in this Arab town in northern Israel.
Note that Palestine TV broadcast the attack on the Basilica of the Annunciation, El-Bishara Churuch, in Nazareth all day on Friday, March 3, 2006. Muslims and Christians in the city cooperated on controlling the fire caused by explosives detonated by three Israeli extremists. Various interviews with Christian and Muslim leaders and citizens in the city demonstrated a belief that these extremists attempted to cause hostility between Palestinian Arabs living in the city.

======WMD Terrorism is A Nightmare of Different Sort
I've never thought that terrorists posed much of a weapons of mass destruction threat, and I've always thought that the specter of "nuclear terrorism" was promiscuous and politically motivated, both to undermine disarmament and to bolster U.S. WMD programs.

======Horowitz: "There are 50,000 professors ... [who] identify with the terrorists"
On the March 2 edition of MSNBC's Scarborough Country, right-wing activist David Horowitz claimed that "[t]here are 50,000 professors" who are "anti-American" and "identify with the terrorists." Horowitz, the president of Students for Academic Freedom and a proponent of an "Academic Bill of Rights" for American universities, is the author of The Professors: The 101 Most Dangerous Academics in America (Regnery, January 2006).
According to statistics from the Department of Education, there are just over 400,000 tenured and tenure-track full-time university professors* in the United States. If Horowitz's numbers are accurate, that means approximately one out of every eight tenured or tenure-track college and university professors is a terrorist sympathizer.

======9/11: Rumsfeld Sept 10, 2001: The Pentagon cannot account for $2.3 TRILLION
This should have been a huge scandal. $2.3 Trillion dollars amounts to almost $8000 for every man, woman, and child in the US.
But look when this was announced. September 10th, 2001. Just 24 hours later, the events of 9-11 wiped this scandal from the newspapers.
Rather interesting timing, don't you think?

======"Hard to get a good case": Early Attempts to Link 9/11 and Iraq
Last week, outragedmoderates.org released DoD staffer Stephen Cambone's notes from meetings with Donald Rumsfeld on the afternoon of 9/11. The notes, obtained under FOIA, show that at early as 2:40 PM on September 11th, Rumsfeld was attempting to use the day's attacks as a justification for invading Iraq (although he did concede that it would be "[h]ard to get a good case"). The following is a brief timeline of the Bush administrations discussions, during the month after the 9/11 attacks, about invading Iraq as a response to the tragedy.

======Documents Reveal the Stories of Prisoners at Guantanamo Bay
Forced by a federal court to lift the cloak of secrecy that had long shrouded the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the Pentagon released thousands of pages of documents Friday containing names and other details for hundreds of detainees scooped up after the Sept. 11 attacks.

======America the Pitiful
Calling our form of government a democratic republic does not make it so. We are what we do. By now it should be abundantly clear that most Americans are incapable of recognizing real democracybecause they have never been subjected to one. Perhaps no culture on earth is more materialistic or delusional than ours. Compared to much of the world, Americas behavior is tragically pathological.

Occupation is a form of violence directed at people to prevent them from controlling their own destiny. It is very similar to a vicious mugging where one party completely dominates the other. It is an attack on the fundamental principles of statehood, sovereignty and self-determination.

======Bush and the bomb
Bush, visiting New Delhi, struck a landmark deal allowing India to develop peaceful nuclear energy while staying outside the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT). This smacks of double standards that will make it hard to hold the line on this issue and gives some substance to the charge, voiced by an angry President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, that opposition to Iran's nuclear ambitions - which he claims are peaceful - is politically motivated.

When President Bush announced on Friday that Americans would soon be eating Indias famed mangoes, he failed to explain why.

======Bill Frist threatens to re-structure the Intelligence Committee in order to block NSA hearings
Frist specifically threatened that if the Committee holds NSA hearings, he will fundamentally change the 30-year-old structure and operation of the Senate Intelligence Committee so as to make it like every other Committee, i.e., controlled and dominated by Republicans to advance and rubber-stamp the White Houses agenda rather than exercise meaningful and nonpartisan oversight.

Congressman gets 8 years for taking millions in bribes
Former congressman Randy "Duke" Cunningham, a decorated fighter pilot in Vietnam who admitted taking $2.4 million in bribes from two defense contractors, was sentenced Friday to eight years and four months in federal prison.

Broken system facilitated Cunningham's graft
IT is tempting, and certainly convenient, for his former colleagues in Congress, to dismiss Randy Duke Cunningham as an aberration. The corruption scheme he was at the center of exposes systemic flaws that will persist well after he is behind bars
