"Military action was now seen as inevitable. Bush wanted to remove Saddam, through military action, justified by the conjunction of terrorism and WMD. But the intelligence and facts were being fixed around the policy."-The Downing Street Memo, 7/23/2002

The Sauron of American
Hey all you Lord of the Ring fans! I had no idea that Viggo Mortensen, who plays Aragorn is a photographer (for all the female fans - or is it more like drooling fans like my Betty - I've added his picture). Not only is he a artist, he's also a Bush critic. Here's an interview on Salon.com.
Here's a sample of his photos:
Two Female POW's
We've all heard the tale of Jessica Lynch's "rescue". But do we remember the other POW's that were taken? How about the other female who happens to be African-American? Here's a story by Christine Phillip of BET.com about how our government treated her and what she got for serving our country.....
A Tale of Two Soldiers
Army Spec. Shoshana Johnson, the African American women who was held prisoner of war in the U.S. invasion of Iraq, was looking forward to a quiet discharge from the Army in a few days.
Battle scarred and weary, she has said not a word as her fellow POW comrade in arms Jessica Lynch cashes in with book and movie deals and a celebrity status in the media.
But it is the Army that is forcing Johnson to break her peace.
A few days ago, military brass informed her that she would receive a 30 percent disability benefit for her injuries. Lynch, who is White, was discharged in August and will receive an 80 percent disability benefit.

An Open Letter to America: It's Time to Take Back Our Country
Singer/songwriter John Mellencamp and his wife, Elaine, wrote a great article found at CommonDreams.
"..The Governor of California was removed from office based on finance troubles. And yet George W Bush has lied to us, failed to keep our own borders secure, entered a war under false pretense, endangered lives, and created financial chaos.."
With Democratic Presidential Opponents Like Lieberman, Who Needs Rove
I would like to make a request to Joe Lieberman to follow the admirable Senator Graham's lead and quit the race. I think there is some wisdom in knowing your limitations. Here's an interesting article reflecting a similar theme. I could make the same request to a number of the other democratic candidates. However, I feel Mr. Lieberman has earned this rant. If I'm not too lazy, I may post something less than adoring about Dick Gephardt later. As for Lieberman, realistically, he isn't going to win the nomination. His popularity among the Dems is pretty dismal most likely due to his betrayal of ALL THAT IS RIGHT!! Just kidding. But, he HAS run an extremely foul campaign. REALISTICALLY, Howard Dean will win the nomination and I'm not just saying that because I am a Dean supporter. WE WANT DEAN!!! It makes no sense IF you want to beat Bush, to attack the leading democratic candidate the way Joe Lieberman has no matter how badly you want to win the nomination. And let's just say that Joe DOES win the nomination, the grassroots will have dwindled with the demise of the Dean candidacy, he will not have the kind of support needed to defeat the Republicans' leading candidate-not with all the millions of dollars that party has raised and is still raising. They will spend and do whatever it takes to undermine any redeeming quality of a Lieberman presidency. With the rhetoric Lieberman's been spewing against Dean, if DEAN does win the nomination, the repugs can put some of that money aside for other things like recalling more Democrats in office. The 2004 campaign will be an extremely tight race, and the "Anyone But Bush" mantra may not be enough to rely on when that candidate garners very little enthusiasm in a nation in which a majority of its electorate view casting a ballot with such little reverence.
