Nothing shocks me anymore.

Congressman says bomb Mecca if US attacked
WASHINGTON: A Republican congressman said in a radio interview aired by a Florida station that if a multiple-city attack happened in the United States in the next 90 days, as predicted by an Israeli expert, and was found to be the work of extremist Muslims, then "we should take out their holy sites." Congressman Thomas G Tancredo, Republican from Colorado, was being interviewed by AM 540 WFLA radio host Pat Campbell, who asked him what the response of the United States should be were terrorist attacks on US cities to take place and were attributable to extremist Muslims. The Congressman replied, " ... then we could take out their holy sites." Asked if that meant Mecca, Tancredo answered, "Yes." khalid hasan

When I was a lad, my father had an expression that he only used when I was in serious, and I mean serious, trouble. "You had your dance, now it's time to pay the band." For some reason, that expression immediately sprang to mind when I read this Reuters article detailing the Bush administration's ~~labor law enforcement campaign~~ payback to organized labor for ~~fighting for our very survival~~ participating in democracy in the 2004 election.

So, I suppose we "had our dance." And now it's time to pay the fucking band...

HOUSTON (Reuters) - U.S. labor union locals are being audited by teams of federal government inspectors in what officials say is part of a labor law enforcement campaign and union leaders charge is payback for opposing President Bush's reelection.

From NC Peace and Justice Coalition:
Over the past three years, North Carolina has been home to one of the South's most vibrant anti-war movements. From the 8,000-person-strong demonstration in Raleigh before the invasion of Iraq on February 15, 2003, to the local constituents who have pushed Republican Congressman Howard Coble to announce that he is calling for a return of the troops home, North Carolinians have resisted the war along with tens of millions of people worldwide.
Last year's mobilization was the largest demonstration in Fayetteville since the Vietnam War and was a huge success. It drew media attention from across the country and gave many service men and women a chance to speak out. This year promises to be even more significant as the American public is increasingly weary with the arrogance, lies, and coercion that are used to keep us in this war.

At this point, I believe we all realize that there is little chance of a "good" outcome in Iraq. For over a year now, I have been a member of US Labor Against the War. I was scheduled to travel to Iraq last year as the "oil-worker delegate" in a workers delegation. That trip was indefinitely postponed due to "security reasons." In this context, "security reasons" can be defined as "we can not ensure you will return home with your head still firmly attached to your body." Currently, we are exploring the possibility of making the trip this May Day. Wish me luck.

The fate of progressives in Iraq is clearly demonstrated in the following article by David Bacon. The very group of people who may indeed be the only salvation for the people of Iraq are caught between the twin battering rams of the US occupation and the armed insurgency. The truth is that progressives in Iraq provide the only hope of (one day) a stable and democratic nation in which the people of Iraq can benefit from their own natural resources. (You know -- that black, gooey stuff under the desert that Bush doesn't care about.) Obviously, this does not fit very well with the administration's plans to carve the country up and sell off it's pieces to the highest ~~bidder~~ donor. Ironically, it doesn't fit in very well with the insurgency's plans either.

I'm sure you'll all be shocked when you read this revealing letter from Iraq. It was written by Yanar Mohammed, a leader of the women's movement in Iraq called The Organisation of Women's Freedom in Iraq. I found it to be a compelling story of fear, courage, rage... and hope.
