5-31-03 RED ALERT: Bush needs another 9/11 "The idea that the World Trade Center and the Pentagon were attacked by a group of suicidal maniacs who envied our freedoms is beginning to wear thin.

Israel's governments have mobilized the collective power of US Jewry—which dominates Congress and the media to a large degree—against them." Give yourself half a point for effort if you named Rep. Jim Moran, Pat Buchanan, Joe Sobran or any other well-known "anti-Semitic."

5-29-03 Bush administration avidly pro-WMDs—when it wields them "The Bush administration has been increasing its support for missile defense while dismantling the international arms-control regime both by withdrawing from the 1972 Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty and by putting forth a new nuclear-war-fighting doctrine. Whereas Reagan left office saying that a nuclear war can never be won and must never be fought, two decades later, the word coming from the Bush administration is that nuclear weapons are here to stay."

5-27-03 The fictional war on terrorism "Stop squandering money and our civil rights on boneheaded data-mining schemes like Total Information Awareness…and recruit some old-fashioned spies to infiltrate extremist groups.
