William Rivers Pitt | Winnebagos of Death

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111005I.shtml

William Rivers Pitt writes that despite the fact that Powell publicly

distanced himself from his now-humiliating UN display, and despite

several reports in the British press describing in detail what these

mobile facilities were actually used for, you can still hear Bush

defenders talk about them in the American press to defend the invasion.

 

Abramoff Sought $9 Million to Set Bush Meeting

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111005J.shtml

Lobbyist Jack Abramoff asked for $9 million in 2003 from the president

of a West African nation to arrange a meeting with President Bush, and

then directed his fees to a Maryland company now under federal

scrutiny, according to newly disclosed documents.

 

Bob Herbert | An Army Ready to Snap

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111005K.shtml

More than 15,000 have been wounded in action. Bob Herbert writes that

the problems of the military go far beyond the casualty figures coming

out of the war zone. The Army, for example, has been stretched so taut

since the September 11 attacks, especially by the fiasco in Iraq, that

it's become like a rubber band that may snap at any moment.

 

Blair's Authority in Doubt after Defeat on Terror Bill

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111005L.shtml

Prime Minister Tony Blair's authority was thrown into doubt after his

attempt to toughen up Britain's anti-terror laws in the wake of the

London bombings was roundly defeated in parliament.

 

Max J. Castro | Bush Flies South and Goes from the Frying Pan into the

Fire

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111005M.shtml

Max J. Castro writes that Bush, more disliked by Latin Americans than

any US president in history, was met not just by one revolt but by

two, one by the masses and the other by some of the region's biggest

countries, including Brazil and Argentina. On the streets of this

celebrated resort town, as many as 25,000 people joined a peaceful

protest against Bush led by Venezuelan president Hugo Chávez and

Argentinean soccer star Diego Maradona.

 

New Pressure on 'Big Oil'

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111005N.shtml

At a time of consumer angst about high energy costs, major oil

executives Wednesday faced withering questions on Capitol Hill about

their record profits, and even their paychecks.

 

Robert Scheer | Bringing Down the Bully

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111005O.shtml

Robert Scheer writes that Schwarzenegger was defeated primarily by the

hardworking public sector workers of the state: the teachers,

firefighters and other civil servants who are sick and tired of being

pitted by politicians against those they are so dedicated to serving.

" We're the mighty, mighty nurses, " the joyous healers chanted in a

victory conga line the night they brought the bully down.

 

Republicans Blink on Drilling in Alaska

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2005/111005Z.shtml

House GOP leaders agreed last night to strip plans to permit oil

drilling in Alaska's Arctic National Wildlife Refuge and in the

offshore continental shelf from their massive $54 billion

budget-cutting measure, probably securing the votes to pass the

measure today.
