Orwell would be proud.
The demonstrations, which included more than 1,000 people marching through downtown Washington to NLRB headquarters on Nov. 15 -- and thousands more descending on agency offices in 25 other cities nationwide -- were based on a catalog of heavily anti-worker rulings the labor federation says pervert both the agency's mission and the intent of U.S. labor law.
What the AFL-CIO
calls "The September
Steamroller" is so bad
that the 61 rulings it
cited led protesters to
demand the board shut
down until a new
president is elected and
names a new board.
..."Instead of shrinking
the (National Labor
Relations) act's
coverage, protections
and remedies, the board
should be trying to
figure out why virulent
anti-union campaigns are
still the norm, why
workers ace such fear
and intimidation when
they try to form an
union, why so many
organizing campaigns
still involve so many
violations of workers'
rights and why the
rights guaranteed by the
act are still outside
the grasp of so many
workers."
Thursday, March 16, 2006 Preemptive Strike Out President Bush plans to issue a new national security strategy today reaffirming his doctrine of preemptive war against terrorists and hostile states with chemical, biological or nuclear weapons, despite the troubled experience in Iraq.

The evidence proves we were lied into an illegal war.
Here's the down and dirty on the questions about Iraq's links to terrorism:
1. Postwar findings indicate that Saddam Hussein was distrustful
of al-Qa'ida and viewed Islamic extremists as a threat to his regime,
refusing all requests from al-Aq'ida to provide material or
operational support.
2. Postwar findings have identified only one meeting between
representatives of al-Qa'ida and Saddam Hussein's regime reported in
prewar intelligence assessments. Postwar findings have identified two
occasions, not reported prior to the war, in which Saddam Hussein
rebuffed meeting requests from an al-Qa'ida operative.
3. Postwar findings support the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA)
February 2002 assessment that Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi was likely
intentionally misleading his debriefers when he said that Iraq
provided two al-Qa'ida associates with chemical and biological weapons
(CBW) training in 2000.... No postwar information has been found that
indicates CBW training occurred and the detainee who provided the key
prewar reporting about this training recanted his claims after the
war.
4. Postwar findings support the April 2002 Defense Intelligence
Agency (DIA) assessment that there was no credible reporting on
al-Qa'ida training at Salman Pak or anywhere else in Iraq.
5. Postwar information indicates that Saddam Hussein attempted,
unsuccessfully to locate and capture al-Zarqawi and that the regime
did not have a relationship with, harbor, or turn a blind eye toward
Zarqawi.
6. Postwar information indicates that the Intelligence Community
accurately assessed that al-Qa'ida affiliate group Ansar al-Islam
operated in Kurdish-controlled northeastern Iraq, an area that Baghdad
had not controlled since 1991.
7. Postwar information supports prewar Intelligence community
assessments that there was no credible information that Iraq was
complicit in or had foreknowledge of the September 11 attacks or any
other al-Qa'ida strike...
8. No postwar information indicates that Iraq intended to use
al-Qa'ida or any other terrorist group to strike the United States
homeland before or during Operation Iraqi Freedom.
