Catch an Illegal Immigrant Day

That's right. But "Fun with Guns" is just one of the ways College Republicans at several campuses across the U.S. will be trying to get twenty-somethings enthusiastic about this fall's elections. Another is "Catch an Illegal Immigrant" days, in which volunteers dressed in orange t-shirts and representing "mock immigrants" will hide around campus and those "catching" them will be awarded prizes......more

Summit Examines U.S.-Muslim Relations Five Years After 9-11

Five years after 9-11, U.S.-Islamic relations continue to deteriorate at a rapid pace. Recent polls reveal that 90 percent of residents in predominantly Muslim countries view the U.S. as the primary threat to their country. To examine this relationship, 300 young leaders from around the Muslim world and the U.S. came together to develop a blueprint for long-term engagement between the U.S. and the Muslim world.....more

Mall sues war protesters

Kings Mall has filed a civil suit against protesters who read the names of dead soldiers and distribute anti-war literature in front of the military recruitment center at the U.S. Route 9W mall. The mall's attorney, Jon A. Simonson, said the suit stems from tenants' complaints over loss of business from the protests, with damages estimated at $50,000. The suit follows the dismissal in late May of trespassing charges against two of the defendants, Jay Wenk and Joan Keefe, both members of the group Veterans For Peace. The two were arrested Feb. 4, and Wenk was arrested again Feb. 11, on charges of harassment.....more
Iraq: Experts Fear a Lost Generation

At first glance, the games occupying Sameer, Salwa, Batul, Taghreed, Yasir and Fawzi seem much like those enjoyed by any children as they play happily in a Baghdad street with friends from school and the neighbourhood.On closer inspection, however, their games are far from innocent, and offer a brutal reflection of daily life in Iraq. This group of five- to seven-year-olds is re-enacting a beheading, a scene they have most likely seen on television or on one of the many graphic videos circulating in the country......more

Congress May be Prosecutable For Participating In Bush War Crimes

Members of Congress are thus on notice that minimum due process guarantees under customary international law must not be denied when Congress attempts to articulate what forms of procedure a military commission should adopt. If members participate in a plan to do so or are complicit in the deprivation of minimum due process guarantees under customary international law incorporated by reference in common Article 3 of the Geneva Conventions or any other rights or protections under common Article 3 (e.g., concerning the right to humane treatment even at the hands of CIA interrogators), they would be participating in the denial of rights, protections, and duties under Geneva law. Such denials are war crimes......more

"War on Terror" Numbers To Silence Republican Candidates

When George W. Bush made a prime-time television appearance Monday night to give a political speech -- under the guise of commemorating the five-year anniversary of September 11 -- he started right off by telling both a lie and the truth in one short sentence."Today, we are safer, but we are not yet safe," said Bush, which means he was batting .500 with the truth in just one short statement. Not bad for him. It is undeniably true that we are not yet safe, but to imply that we are safer than we were before Bush turned the world against us is demonstrably false......more

Katie and Rush and the face of corporate news

There was a revealing, if unintentionally ironic, moment during Katie Couric's first week on the job as host of the CBS Evening News. It surrounded the segment called "Free Speech," which featured commentaries from invited guests. "Expressing your opinion is very American," Couric told viewers, stressing: "Everyone is entitled to his or her opinion." On Thursday night, Couric welcomed right-wing talker Rush Limbaugh who taped his 90-second contribution and took a very different tact. He suggested during his "Free Speech" commentary that the wrong kind of free speech (i.e., criticizing the war in Iraq) undermines patriotism and drags down the morale of U.S. troops. So much for CBS' attempt at a democratic dialogue......more

A Tribute to Marc A. Murolo

'He Had Come of Age' Marc A. Murolo never used a napkin, even when he was eating at his favorite restaurant, Morton's steakhouse. His sister, Cathy Lynn Roberti, said, "I can go through three napkins in one sitting. He never used one, even when he ate a rack of ribs, so I would usually steal his." Bright and quiet with a ready smile, Mr. Murolo, 28, worked as a bond trader at Cantor Fitzgerald on the 105th floor of 1 World Trade Center. He loved his job. He also loved the city. He liked to go out to restaurants with friends. And to Mets games. Mr. Murolo, who grew up in Englewood Cliffs, N.J., moved to the city shortly after graduating from Fairfield University in Connecticut. "He was really proud of his apartment," his sister said. "In July, for my dad's 70th birthday, we went to the Water Club for lunch. Afterward, he entertained the family at his apartment. He had come of age."......more

On Tuesday, ABC was forced to concede that "The Path to 9/11" is "a dramatization, not a documentary." The film deceptively invents scenes to depict former President Bill Clinton's handling of the Al Qaeda threat......more

Bush Fears War Crimes Prosecution, Impeachment

With great fanfare, George W.

After nearly 5 years of interrogating these men, why did Bush choose this moment to bring them to "justice"?.....more

ABC 9/11 Movie “Something out of Fantasy Land”

What’s amazing about this based on what I seen so far is how much they got wrong" I mean it’s sheer fantasy. So, if they want to critique the Clinton administration and the Bush administration, based on fact, I think that’s fine. But what ABC has done here is something straight out of Disney and fantasyland. It’s factually wrong. And that’s shameful......more
