US to Deploy Interceptor Missiles in Japan http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/062706K.shtml The US will deploy advanced Patriot interceptor missiles on Japanese soil this year for the first time as the region braces itself for a possible test launch by North Korea of an intercontinental ballistic missile, local media reports said today. Larry Johnson | Vice President Cheney, Chef in Chief http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/062706L.shtml " The evidence now on the public record is overwhelming and, if we could have a jury, Vice President Dick Cheney would be found guilty of cooking the intelligence and lying us into war, " Larry Johnson writes. " Three remarkable and compelling pieces of evidence have hit the streets within the last two weeks. " Matthew Rothschild | Bush Goes After the New York Times http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/062706M.shtml Matthew Rothschild writes, " the President doesn't deserve a seat at the editorial meetings of the New York Times - or any other newspaper. That is not his place. He is commander in chief, not editor in chief. It is up to reporters, and editors, and publishers to decide what is news - not the branch of government they are supposed to be covering. " High Court Strikes State's Campaign Fund Limits http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/062706N.shtml A bold experiment in Vermont that sought to address the often thorny connection between money and politics has come to an end. On Monday, the US Supreme Court struck down as unconstitutional the most controversial aspects of Vermont's campaign-finance law - including restrictions on the amount of money candidates for public office may spend in their campaigns. " Breathtaking " Waste and Fraud in Hurricane Aid http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/062706O.shtml Among the many superlatives associated with Hurricane Katrina can now be added this one: it produced one of the most extraordinary displays of scams, schemes and stupefying bureaucratic bungles in modern history, costing taxpayers up to $2 billion. Judge to Tom DeLay: " Run Like a Rabbit " http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/062706P.shtml Former House Majority Leader Tom Delay, R-Texas, testified at a hearing today in the federal courthouse in Austin regarding a lawsuit filed by Democrats who argue that DeLay is still legally the GOP Congressional candidate for his district, despite his resignation from the House. _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
