- The Ministry of Truth Strikes Again, and Again, and Again... Government puts yet another choke hold on science for unfounded reasons.
  Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from Huffington Post
  EPA scientists are protesting, saying that the lack of access to data will impair their research and scientific capabilities. The Administration says its plan is to “centralize” control of all data; EPA scientists say the real goal is to “suppress information on environmental and public health-related topics.” The Administration is not yet burning books, but they are getting very close.

- T-Shirt Inscription Keeps Iraqi Man From Boarding Flight
  Posted by Billbar
  An Iraqi architect says he was not allowed to board a Jet Blue flight at JFK because of the Arabic inscription on his t-shirt. Raed Jarrar was wearing a T-shirt that read We Will Not Be Silent in Arabic and English, when he was approached by security officers. The officers said the Arabic script was upsetting other passengers, and told Jarrar to either turn the shirt inside out or wear something else. Jarrar protested but finally wore a T-shirt provided by a Jet Blue employee.

- Rumsfeld: U.S. able to take new fight despite Iraq
  Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from Yahoo News!
  With news reports of backdoor drafts and potential stress around Iran, I guess Rumsfeld felt the need to both pacify the homefront and to warn potential adversaries that there’s “more where that came from!”

- key Democrat seeks to deny aid to the children, women and homeless of Lebanon after the war
  Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from UrukNet
  top ranking Democrat on the U.S. House of Representatives’ International Relations Committee said over the weekend that he would work to deny the $230 million in aid for Lebanon that has been proposed. However, there appears no opposition to the $9 billion loan program to Israel, which began in 2003 and was set to expire in 2008. Will Lebanon, with its democratically elected government, find the financial means needed to rebuild and cleanup the WMDs and illegal weapons deposited by the U.S./Israeli coalition?

- Iraq vs. World War 2, Iraq wins. Another miserable milestone for Bush's war
  Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from The Independent
  In a bit of historical irony, the U.S. involvement in World War 2 was a total of 1,244 days on the eastern front. This resulted in Nazi Germany surrendering to Russia, Britain and the U.S. Fast forward to Iraq, August 2006, the U. S. involvement, illegal this time, has passed the 1,267 day mark. Resistance in Iraq is stronger then ever, the U.S. economy is destined for collapse from the over extension of debt, and as America burns, Bush, like Hitler stays the course. Maybe he will kill hiself too?

- Chavez of Arabia
  Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from Al Jazeera
  Chavez is once again on the diplomatic offensive. During his recent trip to Beijing, Chavez blasted Israel for the current war in Lebanon – which he referred to as a campaign of ‘genocide’. By distancing himself from Israel – a country with whom Venezuela has long held good relations – Chavez is cementing his country’s ties to Iran and endearing himself to the Arab world ahead of his upcoming trip to the region

- Europe: Study Shows France Leading In Muslim Integration - RADIO FREE EUROPE / RADIO LIBERTY
  Posted by j1o2n3a4s5 from Radio Free Europe
  Thirty-seven percent of French Muslims reported a bad experience due to their race, ethnicity, or religion, compared to 28 percent among British Muslims. This study goes against what a lot of us believe about Muslims and Europe.

Really? Wow, that’s amazing! If the twin was actually living inside of him, did he have any kind of consciousness? Intriguing.
