We knew Michael Jackson, and that his desire to help kids far outweighed any desire to engage in activities that might cause them any harm. But is he really different from some of the others who helped kids but got accused of wrong doing? Are we going to lesson the witch hunt or just make exceptions for the rich and powerful?
Michael Jackson was hurt by the pedophile hysteria. Perhaps he hurt a few kids a little rather than just helping them, but they learned to relate to others in an unproductive way or were in some other way seriously hurt by him. But there are others who are accused of being pedophile who have been badly hurt by the hysteria, Let's do something to end this witchhunt
We been expecting another big terror attack by al Qaeda or one by those pretending to be Muslims such as the handwritten letters by supposed Muslims warning about anthrax.
But maybe small attacks are on al Qaeda's agenda
Some imagine that wrong started when Bush Jr. became President, or maybe they want to avoid too much bad news
I think the following piece will not make people feel numb.
I think all you bloggers are far too confident. In Germany in the 30s Hitler won the debate over terror after the burning of the German Parliament, the Richstag fire,

. . I see a real possibility that another terror attack by either al Qaeda or an al Qaeda pretend to be, like the Anthrax terrorists, will lead to Cheney's claim that it is all caused by giving some rights to terror suspects, will take charge of the country some day, perhaps sprinkled in with a Rush Limbaugh's claim that illigal immigrants are somehow tied in.
As a compromise for credit card reform Obama yelded on gun control
Arlen Specter has a long history, he helped organize bipartisan support for the Impeachment of President Nixon, helped keep the pro-Israel alliance less shrill, and sobered up many hot topics, but his Single Bullet Theory that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone in killing John F. Kennedy is like an albatross around his neck. But I believe that, that theory was fist proposed to prevent all the accusation against Fidel Castro from leading to war with the Soviets something Lyndon Johnson expressed fear that the false leads toward Castro would lead to.
Perhaps a little praise might make Specter finally speak up, like years of criticism over his claim never did.
Trials for officials who ordered torture may not have the results proponents of trials expect them to have. They may not end up helping after all.
The Cheney-Limbaugh crowd claims that there was no terror attack because Bush's tough policies including water boarding makes the US strong. People who disagree should look for other reasons for a lack of recent domestic attack.
People opposed to torture are stating statistist, not the life stories of actually victem's of torture who had or are havinging thier lifes even sanity discomboberated.
Let's start to correct this.
