In a Feb. 21 statement to Taguba, Lieut. Colonel Steven L. Jordan, former head of the Abu Ghraib interrogation center, said he had received...http://www.freedom2008.com/reader/archives/003204.html Biterman: Traveling a different route: Bad-who for U.S. President- June 19, 2004 Traveling a different route: Bad-who for U.S. President by Aaron J.

I was squished in the front row, and at the end of each song I would scream and reach toward Johnny, who was about 2-3 feet from the end of my reach, if that. And during one of these brief moments (the Ramones would break between songs for only as long as it took drummer Marky to...http://www.freedom2008.com/reader/archives/003201.html Richard Mack becomes "American Candidate" finalist- June 15, 2004 Because of how imbalanced our political system is, there's a very good chance that Richard Mack could reach more people as a Libertarian candidate from Showtime's "American Candidate" show than LP nominee Michael Badnarik will be able to reach through a traditional third-party campaign. Only if he wins the prize, though. Otherwise, Badnarik will probably get more net exposure. Either way, way to go Richard Mack! Represent! Be sure to stop by his American Candidate...http://www.freedom2008.com/reader/archives/003200.html The Sayings of Candidate Badnarik- June 15, 2004 I found this compilation of quote snippets to be a very distortive and fairly irresponsible piece of journalism. At first I was inclined to lay the blame on Badnarik, for saying stuff that begged to be smeared...but if you read through the reporter's full interview profile, you can see a much fuller (and more accurate) representation of reality. It's a shame the reporter (or editor) didn't allow for a substantial article as the primary piece....http://www.freedom2008.com/reader/archives/003199.html Crappy Cops Murder Mountain Lion- June 15, 2004 This story makes me really angry. If I had been there, I would almost certainly have been arrested for interfering with the murdering idiot police officers who decided to kill a treed animal. They claim it was running off...but that doesn't make sense in so many ways...not the least of which is the fact that there is apparently TV footage that shows him lounging on a tree branch as he was killed. Look at the...http://www.freedom2008.com/reader/archives/003198.html Mom, son accused of planting mouse in soup- June 15, 2004 MSNBC - Mom, son accused of planting mouse in soup Restaurant presses charges in Mother's Day case ... Patterson claimed she had already eaten some of her vegetable soup when she scooped up the mouse on May 8, the day before Mothers Day. The discovery prompted the 500-store chain to stop serving vegetable soup nationwide, but a company investigation discovered the mouse did not originate from the Cracker Barrel kitchen. We learned that the mouse...http://www.freedom2008.com/reader/archives/003197.html Moore held back on releasing prisoner abuse footage- June 15, 2004 Documentarian kept quiet after filming U.S. soldiers abusing Iraqis (permacopy) Filmmaker Michael Moore said Friday he wasn't sure he did the right thing by saving footage of U.S. American soldiers' cruelty toward Iraqis for his controversial documentary, "Fahrenheit 911,'' instead of releasing the evidence earlier when it might have helped halt such abuse. "I had it months before the story broke on '60 Minutes,' and I really struggled with what to do with it,'' Moore...http://www.freedom2008.com/reader/archives/003196.html |
