"By violating the UN Charter, which the U.S. Constitution makes part of the supreme law of the land, President George W. Bush has violated that law. He has further violated his oath to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution by taking the armed forces to war without a congressional declaration of war. The failure of Congress to protest his impudence is immaterial to this violation, in which Congress itself has chosen, by funding the war, to serve as the president’s accomplice rather than checking and balancing his exercise of unconstitutional power as the Framers intended."

"There is no doubt that the Palestinian side needs to do more in terms of internal security in order to contribute to the success of his mission, but by putting up unnecessary obstacles to his mission, ultimately it is Israel that is discrediting itself. Yet, what is still lacking is the necessary political will on behalf of the international community to truly empower Wolfensohn to implement his program. If the international community does so, it will help both Palestinians and Israelis."

"...the genesis of the current problems can also be traced directly back to the UN originally accepting inflated Zionist population statistics to authorize the establishment of the Israeli state and then turning a blind eye as the Palestinians were terrorized and driven from their homes."

"During the 1994 Rwanda genocide, Hutu rebels armed with machetes and AK47s slaughtered one million Tutsis and Hutu moderates in 100 days. In response, Strada performed surgery on Rwandan victims with no roof over his head. For light, a youth held a lamp overhead."

"The Woolsey proposals and the JTA report are not US policy. Both efforts will be vigorously opposed by civil libertarians and educators who understand the dangers inherent in using such tactics to limit freedoms and stifle an open educational system. At the same time, however, it is important to recognize the threat they pose and the extent to which, at least among some extreme currents, anti-Saudi propaganda has become a tool to smear critics and target efforts to build ties between Saudis and Americans."

The pre-Iraqi War intelligence was “fixed around the policy,” according to the Downing St. Memos. The perjury case of Irving “Scooter” Libby, Dick Cheney’s gofer, is only one small piece of the scheme to lie the country into war. Special Counsel Fitzgerald failed to use a conspiracy count against Libby, but he didn’t hesitate to do so in the Khaled Dumeisi case. Why the double standard? The Congress must get to the bottom of this cover-up.

"...while the New York Times is busily clucking at deceptive prewar maneuvers by Dick Cheney’s office, the Times refuses to own up to how effectively the Cheney operation gained its support, from page-one stories about WMDs to editorials assisting Washington’s war makers."

"It’s time to realize we are not democrats or republicans. We are the tax paying citizens of the United States of America and these people WORK FOR US. It’s time to hold them all accountable. Down to the last dime and the last drop of blood."
