Peaceful Iraq war protests prompt 71 arrests:
September 28, 2006 WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Two
Presbyterian ministers were among 71 people arrested during a series of
peaceful protests against the Iraq war Tuesday, said a spokeswoman for a
group participating in the protests. Demonstrators held sit-ins, prayer services and sing-alongs
at four locations in the Capitol complex, including the central atrium of
the Senate Hart Office Building. The demonstrations were reminiscent of the Vietnam era, with
protesters strumming guitars, singing peace songs, holding flowers and
wearing hats made of balloons. (Watch

On
Veterans Day, President Bush chose to forgo the traditional Veterans Day
activities and instead "
hit back" against his critics – those calling for a strategy for
success in Iraq. President Bush was joined in his offensive over the
weekend with remarks by National Security Adviser
Stephen Hadleyand RNC Chairman
Ken
Mehlman. Bush’s latest case is based on three flawed points: 1) that
Congress had the same pre-war intelligence as the White House; 2) that
the Senate investigation found no administration manipulation of the
intelligence; and 3) that world intelligence agencies agreed with the
administration’s assessment of the Iraqi threat. While President Bush is
entitled to try to defend his record, he is not entitled to his own
facts.

n remembrance, let's pledge peace
Toronto Sun - Canada Let us recommit ourselves today to build a culture of peace and encourage a thirst for freedom amoung all peoples. The culture of peace does not accept a utilitarian philosophy that allows any means to be used, or ignores the intrinsic worth of human beings. The culture of peace disdains the unexamined life and invites the international community to probe questions such as the distribution of resources, human solidarity, and the vision that underlies political programs and policies. All modern wars have left behind generations of soldiers whose peace of mind is forever lost to the nightmare memories of what they were required to do in the name of their cause or country. The essential role of culture is to educate, to bring about a peace of mind and heart, enabling us to be more and not just to have more. The task in a culture of peace is both to moderate and regulate all that would debase human nature. True peacemaking can be a matter of policy only if it is first a
matter of the heart. In the absence of repentance and forgiveness, no
peace can endure; without a spirit of courageous charity, justice cannot
be won. By KIRK SEMPLE and SABRINA TAVERNISE The American military command revealed Wednesday that civilians had been killed and wounded in heavy fighting in western Iraq in the past few days. ....again.... House Shelves Alaska Drilling in Budget Fight By CARL HULSE Republican leaders had to jettison the drilling plan in order to save a sweeping spending bill, a concession that came one day after the party suffered significant election losses. The right-wing extremist wing is out of the mainstream. This is a lame-duck administration.. In The Mix:
*”We do not torture”—tell that to the Iraqis. *Thing we’d
rather not hear. *How to fight Alito,the hard way.
