    ROME - Primaries to select the centre-left candidate to run against Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in next year’s elections were held on Sunday but were marred by a Mafia-style killing of a local politician.
    Turnout was high for the first vote of its kind in Italy, almost certain to choose former European Commission President Romano Prodi to head the opposition ticket next spring.
    But before the polls closed, police said two masked gunmen shot dead Francesco Fortugno, (…)

  • Supporting Hillary

    I would love to support Hillary for President if she would come out against the travesty in Iraq. But I don’t think she can speak out against the occupation, because she supports it.
    I will not make the mistake of supporting another pro-war Democrat for president again: As I won’t support a pro-war Republican.
    This country wants this occupation to end. The world wants the occupation to end. People in Iraq want this occupation to end.

I believe most of them are not lazy, just figure money buys off BOTH candidates and in reality, 80% of time it does! I swear sometimes, I think I might not vote either for same reasons but then I (…)

  • What Iraqis Really Think About The Occupation

    The lack of critical media coverage at the beginning of the Iraq War is widely acknowledged. But the media’s failure to cover Iraqi voices of opposition is arguably a greater default.
    The mainstream media convey the impression that there are two categories of Iraqis—the handful of fanatical jihadist terrorists and the majority who showed their yearning to be free during January’s election. In this paradigm, our troops are seen as defending, even cultivating, a nascent democracy. Not (…)

    The troubled speaker attacks the prosecutor, then signs up a defense dream team.
    by Molly Ivins
    Jeez, that was quite a hissy fit Tom DeLay had, calling Ronnie Earle a rogue prosecutor, a partisan fanatic and an unabashed partisan zealot out for personal revenge.
    Ronnie Earle? Our very own mild-mannered — well, let’s be honest, bland as toast, eternally unexciting, Mr. Understatement, Old Vanilla — Ronnie Earle? If the rest of Tom DeLay’s defense is as accurate as his description of (…)
