piggy-backing on terrorism

* xymphora: "I think I’ve learned that there are two things you just aren’t allowed to criticize on a blog: controlled demolition theories about the WTC, and Noam Chomsky. "
lol

* Ron: "Again...I'd like to link to Larisa Alexandrovna's story of the year, Outed CIA officer was working on Iran, intelligence sources say, which has still been ignored by America's mainstream press."

* E&P: "So, in summary, you can take NIE, replace the first letter with an “L,” and you pretty much have it. But that doesn’t bother the Post editorial page one bit. It calls it "A Good Leak.""

* from glenn's place: "The drug war and its odious arsenal are a danger to our society. They result in lost lives, police corruption, and a severe erosions of citizens' rights -- and familes destroyed by loved ones going to prison. Even if the drug war were considered a success (a truly absurd belief), it is surpassingly clear that the tools of prohibition are worse than the drugs prohibited. The Bush Administration’s expansion of the types and occasions for use of these weapons, while invoking and piggy-backing on terrorism as an excuse, is wholly unjustified; it is right for Feingold, and all of us, to just say no."

* "Once again, it's crunch-time. The CA-50 special election is this Tuesday, April 11th, and there's still a lot of work to be done. If you don't live in the district, you can still help out: MoveOn has set up a virtual phonebanking system so that anyone can lend a hand to Francine Busby. This is an easy (and often fun) way to get involved. MoveOn only asks you to make 15 calls, which they estimate will take just an hour of your time. So go ahead and sign up." (link)
