Prominent Iraq war opponent Cindy Sheehan urged US President George W. Bush on Friday to "end this madness" and accused his Democratic foes of having "betrayed" their anti-war supporters. Sheehan, whose soldier son Casey was killed in Iraq, planned to lead dozens of protesters to a security checkpoint near Bush's Texas ranch and read out names of US dead in Iraq using a bullhorn. "Our message is: Today is Good Friday, when Jesus Christ was killed by the Roman Empire. He rose again on Sunday, came back to life. But our loved ones won't be coming home" from Iraq, she told reporters. The protesters will tell Bush "to end this madness for our ...

Hundreds of I-R-S laptops with sensitive information have been misplaced or stolen over a three-and-a-half year period. And I-R-S inspector general J. Russell George says over 25-hundred taxpayer identities and other data are at risk. He says they have "no idea" whose data has been compromised. George says between January 2003 and June 2006, 490 laptops or other data system equipment disappeared. And in 76 percent of the cases there was no prompt report, meaning the loss of valuable time in taking corrective action. He says in many cases the devices were left at bus stations, train stations or airports or in unlocked luggage. He calls the carelessness "inexcusable." ...

HOUSTON, April 4 — Keith Patton was driving home one night in February when police officers pulled over his red Ford Explorer for a traffic stop. His license and insurance form were in his gym bag on the floor near the back seat. Under the bag was a .357 Magnum. Mr. Patton, 51, an oil-field geologist, software tester and martial arts instructor from suburban Katy, told the police about the gun, which he said he had bought hours before from a co-worker for target shooting. Moments later, he was handcuffed and on his way to jail, facing a charge of unlicensed carrying of a weapon. The arrest might have been routine elsewhere, but this is Texas, where a code rooted in the days of the ...

Democrats Call For Legal Review Of Bush Ambassador Recess Appointment

WASHINGTON --Democrats called for an investigation Thursday into whether President Bush acted illegally in appointing Sam Fox ambassador to Belgium. A day earlier, Bush named Republican fundraiser Fox to the post as a recess appointment -- a maneuver that allowed him to bypass Congress, where Democrats had derailed his nomination. "We view the recess appointment of Mr. Fox as a clear abuse of the President's recess appointment power," three Democratic senators wrote in a letter to the Government Accountability Office, Congress' auditing agency. The senators -- Democrats Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, John Kerry of Massachusetts and Robert Casey of Pennsylvania -- also ...

Cheney: Bush Administration May Challenge 22nd Amendment in 2008 Election By PHILIP MCKRACK Published: April 1, 2007 JACKSONVILLE, North Carolina. April 1 — Vice President Cheney delivered a speech early Sunday morning before a formation of soldiers at Camp Lejeune in North Carolina. The speech was not publicized and the prepared remarks were intended to boost troop morale. The comments were fairly unremarkable except for one short comment near the end of the speech in which Mr. Cheney suggested that the Bush Administration may seek to challenge the 22nd amendment in the 2008 presidential election in an effort to ensure that the war in Iraq is successful. Mr. Cheney again cited the ...

Kudos to the Whitehouse Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse has not been a major figure in the US Attorney scandal, but he did the best job today in the Judiciary Committee hearing with former Gonzales chief of staff Kyle Sampson. In fact, he was the only one that got any news out of him: Attorney General Alberto Gonzales and President Bush's former counsel approved the firings of eight federal prosecutors, Gonzales' one-time chief of staff told the Senate Judiciary Committee Thursday. "I and others made staff recommendations but they were approved and signed off on by the principals," Kyle Sampson said, referring to Gonzales and former White House Counsel Harriet Miers. ...

The Long Ordeal of Sami Al-Arian - Civil and Human Rights Advocate and Political Prisoner - by Stephen Lendman Sami Al-Arian is one of many dozens, likely hundreds, of political prisoners in the US today but is noteworthy because of his high-profile status and as an especially egregious example of persecution and injustice in post-9/11 America with its climate of state-induced fear and resulting repression with special targeting of Latino immigrants and all Muslims characterized as "Islamofascists" because of their faith and ethnicity.

Onward Bush’s soldiers, torture as ye may, but do it in Guantanamo, and not in the USA. On Monday, the U.S. Supreme Court turned down the habeas corpus plea of a Canadian national, captured in Afghanistan when he was 15 years old, because the possible deprivation of his human rights was not conducted on “U.S. soil.” The court, with three judges dissenting, cited a law passed by the Republican-controlled Congress last year that the fate of Guantanamo prisoners will be determined by secret military tribunals outside the purview of U.S. courts. The case was brought on behalf of Omar Khadr, one of roughly 380 Guantanamo prisoners and one of only 10 finally charged with a crime. ...

The J.F.K. Flap by Murray N. Rothbard by Murray N. Rothbard DIGG THIS This essay originally appeared in the May 1992 issue of The Rothbard-Rockwell Report. The most fascinating thing about JFK, as exciting and well-done as it is, is not the movie itself but the hysterical attempt to marginalize, if not to suppress it. How many movies can you remember where the entire Establishment, in serried ranks, from left (The Nation) through Center to Right, joined together as one in a frantic orgy of calumny and denunciation. Time and Newsweek actually doing so before the movie came out? Apparently, so fearful was the Establishment that the Oliver Stone movie might prove convincing that the ...

Blair has already been questioned twice by police in the matter. Two Labor leaders, Sir Christopher Evans and Lord Levy, have already been arrested and questioned by police in the scandal. Our source in Britain says that when Blair is questioned for a third time by the police it will be "under caution," meaning that he is a suspect in the criminal investigation. In February, police wanted to question Blair under ...

Waxman Requests RNC Emails By Paul Kiel - April 4, 2007, 12:41 PM The House's chief sleuth, House Oversight and Government Reform Committee Chairman Henry Waxman (D-CA), continues to press the administration and the Republican National Committee. Today, in a letter to the RNC's chairman, he asked for emails "that relate to the use of federal agencies and federal resources for partisan political purposes." It's just the latest move in Waxman's investigation into the use of RNC email addresses by White House personnel, a practice that some charge violates the Presidential Records Act. Last week, Waxman asked the RNC not to destroy any such emails and asked White ...

PORTSMOUTH, N.H. - Former New York Mayor Rudolph W.

Barack Obama said he would use executive orders to roll back some of those powers. "The Patriot Act does give the government more tools, more power, but it's not vastly out of line with what other governments have, free governments, democratic governments," Mr. Giuliani told the Portsmouth Chamber of Commerce while campaigning for the Republican presidential nomination here in New Hampshire.

NEW ORLEANS, April 3 (UPI) -- A federal judge has dismissed a claim that local police violated the right to travel of New Orleans residents trying to get out after Hurricane Katrina. Tracy and Dorothy Dickerson sued Gretna, the Gretna Police Department and the Jefferson Parish Sheriff's Office. They said they were not allowed to use the Crescent City Connection, which crosses the Mississippi River. U.S. District Judge Mary Ann Vial Lemmon said there is no right to travel within a state guaranteed by the Constitution. The judge also found that the Dickersons missed the deadline for certification as a class-action suit.

Arthur L.

He told the jury that his own research had convinced him that federal tax payments were voluntary. Prosecutors argued that his research was created to cover his political beliefs. Prosecutors said Farnsworth ...

But in the letter today from committee Chairman John Conyers (D-MI) and subcommittee Chair Linda Sanchez (D-CA), they wrote that ...
