AUSTIN, Texas--One way to cover up a crime is to find a benign term that hides the violence and cruelty of the act. Such is the case with "transfer," an idea increasingly being put forward in Israel as a solution to conflict with the Palestinians. |

Asked by Bill Moyer about Perle's arguments for a war,
Wilson said, ``Well, he's certainly the architect of a study that was produced in the mid-'90s for the Likud Israeli government called `A Clean Break, A New Strategy for the Realm.' And it makes the argument that the best way to secure Israeli security is through the changing of some of these regimes beginning with Iraq and also including Syria. And that's been since expanded to include Iran.'' While defending America's committment, since 1948, to protect Israel's existence, he also noted, ``There are those who believe that perhaps we've confused our responsibilities with the slavish adherence to the Likud strategy.'' |

"Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established, should not be changed for light and transient causes; and, accordingly, all experience [has] shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils are sufferable than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed. But, when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object, evinces a design to reduce [the people] under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security."
"Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God."
- two quotes from Thomas Jefferson |

Re: Section-by-Section Analysis of Justice Department draft Domestic Security Enhancement Act of 2003, also known as "Patriot Act II"
The Department of Justice (DOJ) has been drafting comprehensive anti-terrorism legislation for the past several months. The draft legislation, dated January 9, 2003, grants sweeping powers to the government, eliminating or weakening many of the checks and balances that remained on government surveillance, wiretapping, detention and criminal prosecution even after passage of the USA PATRIOT Act, Pub. L. No. 107-56, in 2001. |

The Guardian newspaper has discovered that the Thatcher government permitted a British company to build a $24 million nerve gas plant in Iraq in 1985 at the time Iraq was gassing Iranian soldiers. The information was kept secret. The British government guaranteed payment and in 1990 was required to make the final $500,000 payment to a German subcontractor. The US now says that the plant is a key component in Iraq's chemical warfare arsenal. |

Americans don't like to distrust their leaders. In a world that appears so chaotic, one wants, needs, some sense of firm, unshakeable foundations. If we can't trust our cops, our priests, our corporate accountants, our elected officials, who will be there to provide that container of stability, our sense that the world works and that we're not just victims waiting for the random finger of fate to tap us on the shoulder?
I'm not just talking about other people here. I feel that way often. |
