"No
dictator, no invader can hold an imprisoned
population by force of arms forever. There is no
greater power in the universe than the need for
freedom. Against that power governments and
tyrants and dictators cannot stand. The Centauri
learned this once. We will teach it to them
again. Though take a thousand years, WE WILL BE
FREE."
Ambassador G'Kar (Andrea Katsulas) in Babylon 5,
episode 220 "The Long Twilight
Struggle"
Waiting
to Inhale, by veteran libertarian journalist
Alan Bock, covers the history of medical
marijuana (from 1500 B.C.!), the medical
controversy over marijuana, the California Prop
215 campaign to legalize medical marijuana, and
much more. This is about more than just medical
marijuana -- it touches on states' rights,
individual liberty, medical freedom and more.
David Boaz of the Cato Institute
says this is "...the only book you'll need
on the growing political movement to give
individuals access to marijuana for medical
purposes." Great, informative and
up-to-the-minute reading on one of today's
hottest issues, written with a libertarian
perspective!
DOJ
Asked FBI Translator To Change Pre 9-11 Intercepts(Tom Flocco)
FBI translator Sibel
Edmonds was offered a substantial raise and a full time
job to encourage her not to go public that she had been
asked by the Department of Justice (DOJ) to retranslate
and adjust the translations of subject intercepts that
had been received before September 11, 2001 by the FBI
and CIA, in an apparent attempt by DOJ to conceal the
identity of possible American co-conspirators to 9-11.
"As democracy is

Ready to Vaporize the Jewish State(Joe Vialls)
Russia has discreetly
invoked MAD again, but this time in the Middle East in
direct response to Israeli threats to nuke Iran with
submarine-launched American Harpoon missiles. Quietly,
Russia hasdeployed its most advanced tactical nuclear
missiles and crews to both Syria and Iran, thereby
sending an unmistakable diplomatic signal that if Israel
attacked Tehran or Damascus with nuclear weapons, Russia
would in return instantly and anonymously vaporize the
Jewish State. This is not an idle or exaggerated threat.

Iraqi Prison Scandal: Routine
and not an abberation - Reflects what happens in American
prisons
There were no rules, by her
account, and there was little training. But the mission
was clear. Spec. Sabrina D. Harman, a military police
officer who has been charged with abusing detainees at
the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, said she was assigned to
break down prisoners for interrogation. Such physical and
sexual abuse of prisoners, similar to what has been
uncovered in Iraq, takes place in American prisons with
little public knowledge or concern, according to
corrections officials, inmates and human rights
advocates. Military

laws usually are unable to protect targets(Ellen Sorokin)
Restraining orders against abusers only provide a false
sense of security, experts say. When states around the
country passed anti-stalking legislation in the 1990s,
the new laws were hailed as a long overdue crackdown on
abusive spouses, obsessive exes and twisted psychopaths.
Today, prosecutors, police officers - and those who are
beaten -have a more sobering assessment: The laws rarely
work. California

believe the standard sociological hypothesis that people

Some of the victims were

a gas canister enveloped him in a cloud of poisonous

attacks. He had meetings at the State Department
"after" the attacks on the WTC. But he also had
"a regular visit of consultations" with his US
counterparts at the CIA and the Pentagon during the week
prior to September 11. Running for the
