I am not surprised by the bombing. What shocks me is the support that Clinton has received, even on this list. One of the most effective techniques has been the clever demonization of our targets. Tujman is the twin of Milo. Milo. is a thug, but I would not be surprised to see Clinton operate

Thanks. I continue to find the near silence in the media about this "stealth" vote rather amazing. It appears that there were three Dems voting no, Bingaman, Feingold, and Hollings, of whom only Feingold can be said to be at all on the left. Of course one could get cynical and say that it w
