New York Times columnist Paul Krugman wrote in Friday's edition that the credit crisis affecting the nation's financial markets over the past few days "is something that truly scares monetary economists: liquidity has dried up. That is, markets in stuff that is normally traded all the time - in particular, financial instruments backed by home mortgages - have shut down because there are no buyers. This could turn out to be nothing more than a brief scare. At worst, however, it could cause a chain reaction of debt defaults."

Jon Eisenberg, an attorney representing a defunct Saudi charity whose senior members are suing the US government claiming were illegally spied upon by the National Security Agency, writes in The Recorder, a California legal newspaper, that the eight words President Bush uttered during a news conference on December 19, 2005, "these calls are not intercepted within the country," appear to be untrue and "concealed unlawful conduct."

Jennifer Steinhauer reports in Saturday's edition of the New York Times that lawmakers, voting rights organizations, and political party leaders, "frustrated by a system that has marginalized many states in the presidential election process, or seeking partisan advantage ... are stepping up efforts to change the rules of the game, even as the presidential campaign advances."

Anil Netto for Inter Press Service reports that "When religious leaders from different faiths sought to jointly affirm the sacredness of water as the source of life but were shooed away by authorities, it was seen as a move to scuttle interfaith harmony as well as support plans to privatize a common resource."

When it comes to the question of whether the United States was justified in dropping the "Little Boy" atomic bomb on Hiroshima and "Fat Man" on Nagasaki three days later - together instantaneously claiming 210,000 lives - Leeper agrees with Japanese at both ends of the political spectrum that those attacks were inexcusable.

Magincalda helped as his squad mates dragged Awad to a ditch by the side of a dusty road, then watched as they fatally shot him. The corporal had helped tie the man up and place expended shell casings by his corpse to make it look like he'd been shooting at the Marines.

There is a massive experiment being performed on thousands of primarily African American children in New Orleans. No one asked the permission of the children. No one asked permission of their parents. This experiment involves a fight for the education of children.

Alan Greenspan's low-interest, subprime, snake-oil Caravan took another spin down Wall Street today---ripping up pavement, knocking down power-poles and sending traders scampering for safety. When the dust finally settled, "Maestro's" wrecking ball had lopped another 387 points off the Dow Jones leaving markets reeling and investors cringing in fear.

The voters put the Democrats in to end the war, and it's escalating. The Democrats voted the money for the surge and the money for the next $459.6 billion military budget. Their latest achievement was to provide enough votes in support of Bush to legalize warrantless wiretapping for "foreign suspects whose communications pass through the United States." Enough Democrats joined Republicans to make this a 227-183 victory for Bush.

Rome's Emperor's understood the importance of bread and circus'. The empire knew that if they kept their population in a perpetual state of war, provided cheap bread and offered the spectacle of the Roman Circus in the Coliseum, they could rule with an iron hand and no one would complain. It worked for nearly five-hundred years. Yet Romans thought themselves "free." Today........

Why Your Elected Officials are Not Protecting Your Rights

by Rosalind Peterson

It is time to step forward and demand that our elected officials stop undermining our U.S. Constitution and our Civil Liberties. And if they don’t, we the people, can show up and vote “no” at election time. The American people have a powerful voice and can apply pressure today on all of our elected officials… and we can let them know we outnumber the corporate lobbyists at the ballot box........
