- Ray gun makes targets feel like they're on fire - Innovation
  Posted by Jeff from MSNBC
  This technology raises a lot of concerns for me. It should not be sold to police departments and it should not be exported to China, Saudi Arabia, etc. I'd like to see Congress get involved in limiting its use. You can't stop technology but you can do some good with legislation.

  Posted by Jeff from Grist
  He spends his time working on the many political and social issues he's passionate about -- not the least of which is animal rights, a cause he's been backing for more than 20 years as a strict, and sometimes outspoken, vegan.

- Officer's Refusal to Fight Sparks Debate
  Posted by Damianmann from Truth Out
  Ehren Watada, 28, is an Army first lieutenant who earlier this year became the first commissioned officer to refuse deployment to Iraq, calling the war illegal and immoral. Although other soldiers have refused deployment, his status as an officer sets his case apart. The Honolulu native of Japanese and Chinese descent faces a general court-martial and up to seven years in prison for charges involving his refusal to deploy, criticism of President Bush, and "conduct unbecoming an officer."

Police probe fires near Seattle suspect eco-arson

I am not comfortable with the FBI using the term domestic terrorism on this kind of arson. It seems like a stretch…it diminishes the term terrorism from the kind of efforts aimed at killing thousands, tens of thousands or millions of people and creating an ongoing sense of fear in their lives. This kind of arson is aimed primarily at property, does not often target people – albeit it does seemed aimed at political change…it still seems like arson or violent activism to me. Is anyone afraid ELF is going to burn their house down tonight?

Sheehan quits as face of US anti-war fight

Thank you Cindy Sheehan. You served as the face of a movement I participated in. You served as a voice of a movement I participated in. You fought the good fight and I was proud of what you did.

She dared to be the face of a movement that forced us to look ourselves in the mirror and face the consequences of ill-conceived policies that kill our men and women in uniform and innocent civilians in Iraq.

BUT she was more than a face or emblem of a movement, she was a mother who paid the ultimate price in this fiasco – the first in losing her son, and the second by the character assassination and “swift-boating” carried out by immature pukes.

It’s still sad to see even she’s been defeated by this war. I think a lot of people will lose hope from this.

I've written to two Air America shows...to start. I really need assistance organizing this thing. I'm committed to doing this. But, I have no experience in organizing on this scale.
