2006 has been a good year for politically-charged films- both fiction and non. So when I got my hands on an advance screening copy of Children of Men (from Universal Pictures and Strike Entertainment; wide theatrical release in opened December 29th in the USA), I wasn't surprised to find it had strong political overtones as well as several subtle and not so subtle digs at the Bush Administration.

According to information recently purged from an online community designed for teenagers involved in the House page program, some teenage pages working for Republican Congressmen had heard rumors about former Congressman Foley and others.

You remember who the man I'm talking about is:

Today, his story came out. Several questions have remained unanswered since the photograph first emerged years ago. Who was the man? Why was he being held at the Abu Ghraib prison? Why was he tortured? Was he an insurgent? A terrorist? A criminal? Somebody who hates America?

No. He was none of those. Read More

A little while ago, I wrote about the Muslim cartoon story, explaining why it was so offensive and provoked such anger in Muslims worldwide. In that posting on my website, I explained in detail Islamic tradition and treatment of images of the prophet Muhammad.

Now, after I wrote that, I've seen dozens of blog postings in support of the original newspaper which published the images, yadda yadda yaddaing about how freedom of the press is important, blah blah blah.

Read on for the full entry, and a startling new fact revealed today, that sheds light on the whole matter. Read More

Several days ago, I was contacted by the family of an American KIA named Gary Walters. They approached me with a problem. And what happened, I think- can serve as a lesson to bloggers in many types of conflicting situations to come.

The problem was this. Several weeks ago, I had published an article (which was widely read and linked to) titled "EXCLUSIVE: Troops In Iraq Still Don't Have Humvee Armor." In it, I chronicled the need for adequate armor for Humvees in Iraq, and how the administration had failed to provide it for many soldiers, even after they promised to. I used the story of one American soldier, who was killed in Iraq, while driving a Humvee inadequately armored to save his life.

The article's merits was discussed on forum boards on the net, and was linked to from several liberal blogs.

When I was contacted by Walters' family a few weeks later, they had a simple request to make. If they politically disagreed with me, they didn't mention it to me. That wasn't important to them, that wasn't it.

In the past few days, a deluge of reports have come out regarding the now admitted spying on the American people. By connecting these reports, a possible timeline emerges, which may explain a good deal more about the NSA-Gate/Snoop-Gate/Wiretap-No-No-Gate than we ever expected in the first place. Also, this theory works to answer a major question critics in the media have been asking; that being why wasn't FISA and the FBI used legally to do the spying- instead of the NSA without warrants? Let's connect the dots:

No really. That's their brilliant plan. Oh, and also something about drilling for oil in Arctic National Wildlife Refuge. Yeah, not sure so much where that part came from.

The First Amendment: it hasn't been entirely struck down yet- but it's getting closer and closer. The right to write and read whatever you like is heading closer and closer to extinction it seems, as evidenced by the latest case of sheer unreasonable governmental abuse of the PATRIOT ACT (which as readers undoubtedly already know suffered a huge blow recently).
