The League of Women Voters does the right thing by withdrawing support of DRE (paperless) machines.

Bogus terrorism charges dropped
in Boston against Joe Previtera, who dressed in black shawl and hood with stereo wires attached as the infamous Abu Ghraib prisoner, protested in front of a military recruitment office. Reading down in the article I found this to be disconcerting and highly improper- "The police woke me in the middle of the night and showed me pictures of U.S. soldiers with smiling Iraqi children," says Previtera. "The officers told me these were pictures that I'd never see in the media, and that the Boston Globe and The New York Times were communist papers."

Beyond belief that Fox News gives a big thumbs up for Moore's Fahrenheit 9/11. Reviewer Roger Friedman states, As much as some might try to marginalize this film as a screed against President George Bush, "F9/11" — as we saw last night — is a tribute to patriotism, to the American sense of duty, and at the same time a indictment of stupidity and avarice.

The 9/11 Commission wraps up. However there are a few questions still unanswered. The Madcow Morning News writes, "The truth which no one dares speak of is that as we approach the third anniversary of the Sept 11 attack there has still been no official investigation into the murders of 3000 people that day...at least no investigation to which the American people have been privy.

Results from the FBI’s ballyhooed 4000-man investigation have never been revealed. And the Congressional Intelligence Committee investigation met in secret; its report contained the famous 28 page "gap."

And anyone looking to the 9/11 Commission to offer answers will be disillusioned to learn the panel was only charged with identifying what might have prevented the White House, Pentagon, CIA, and FBI from being taken by surprise in a way not seen since Pearl Harbor.

The 9/11 Commission, in other words, will answer only the question of what should have been done differently. There’s nothing in the panel's mandate about letting the American people in on the answer to the only question worth asking: what happened?"
