Carter warns of repeat election 'fraud' in Florida Jimmy Carter, who has made a second career monitoring elections in world trouble spots, yesterday accused Florida Republicans of "brazenly" resisting efforts to clean up "fraudulent and biased electoral practices" that so marred the 2000 election in their state.
The former Democrat president offered a harsh verdict on Florida's prospects for a free and fair election this November, writing in the Washington Post that: "A repetition of the problems of 2000 seems like...

Terrorism Began at Deir Yassin 
We are constantly reminded by our elected officials (and those who steal their elections) and the pro-Israel filtered media, of the acts of revenge that Palestinian and Muslim groups have committed against the people of Israel, however, we are almost never told about the brutal and inhumane acts of state terrorism that the government of Israel has been inflicting against the people of Palestine, ever since its inception....

Top Sunni cleric calling Iraqis to unite against US-invaders' terror Abu Ghraib, 24 September - As US occupation forces carried out heavy raids on Falluja and Ramadi today, Sheikh Abdul Salam Kubaisi, a leading Sunni Muslim cleric accused the new interim Prime Minister of Iraq, Iyad Allawi, of betraying the Iraqi people and called on the Iraqi police forces and National Guard to not obey his orders. In a speech to hundreds of people gathered outside the gates of Abu Ghraib prison, Kubaisi declared: "It is strange to hear someone announce that Iraq cannot ...

A View On Allawi From Iraq: Baghdad Burning I was channel-surfing yesterday evening- trying to find something interesting to watch. I flipped vaguely to Al-Arabia and Bush's inane smile suddenly flashed across the screen. Now, normally, as soon as I see his face, I instantly change channels and try to find something that doesn't make me quite as angry. This time, I stopped to watch as Allawi's pudgy person came into view. It's always quite a scene- Bush with one of the alledged leaders of the New Iraq....

The Republican campaign to suppress the Black vote The African American people from slavery to today have had to wage a hard, bitter and bloody struggle for the right to vote. The right to vote, therefore, is sacred; it is a basic part of achieving full democracy, including equality for all.
Eighty-three percent of Black registered voters told CBS/BET they would definitely vote this year. That is up from the record 71 percent Black turnout in 2000. It would be a decisive factor in the defeat of George W. Bush and the ultra-right Republican...

"Finally It Broke My Heart" -- Random Impressions from Palestine A few weeks spent in Palestine is always an assault on the senses, on the emotions. And after three trips to the West Bank in the past eighteen months, it is impossible not to draw some conclusions. For most Americans, the eleventh commandment of the politics of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict is Thou Shalt Not Reach Conclusions, for conclusions that Israel wants the land of Palestine without the people; that the Israeli settlements, the roads accessible only to Israelis, the land confisca...
