From August 30 to September 2 Bikes Against Bush will equip lots of bikes with a spray-system that can write messages on the roads (sent by sms or wifi) to protest the 2004 Republican National Convention in NY City. The whole process will be controlled by Apple portables.
"Bluetooth Users Against Bush uses bluetooth enabled devices (mobile phones, PDA's, laptop computers) to create moments of ad-hoc solidarity for people opposed to George W. Bush and his disastrous policies."

Independent: "The Bush administration's last remaining justification for the invasion of Iraq has been demolished by a private poll revealing that only 2 per cent of Iraqis regard the occupying forces as liberators."

Providence Journal: "More than 400 legal scholars from across the country urged Congress Wednesday to consider impeaching President Bush and any high-level administration officials who approved the Iraqi prisoner abuses."
LA Times: "The US Defence Secretary, Donald Rumsfeld, ordered a suspected terrorist captured in Iraq to be held in secret last October, a Pentagon official says, in what Administration officials acknowledged was one of two violations of international law.
The unidentified detainee, believed to be a leader of the outlawed Ansar al Islam group, was held without being given a prisoner number, nor was the International Committee of the Red Cross told about him, said a Pentagon spokesman, Bryan Whitman.
It was reported on May 5 that the CIA might have had a role in hiding 'ghost detainees' - prisoners for whom there was no paperwork and who were held without charges. This case appears to be the first involving Mr Rumsfeld and Mr Tenet directly."
BreakForNews: "Veteran of the Pentagon Papers scandal, Daniel Ellsberg was backing a protest by former FBI translator Sibel Edmonds, against a court gag order which has silenced her revelations about the September 11th, 2001 attacks.
Ellsberg says that if Edmonds' allegations are confirmed, the current Attorney General could be judged obstructive and share the fate of A.G. John Mitchell - who in Ellsberg v. Mitchell famously tried to squelch Ellsberg's 1971 revelations, and served prison time over the affair."
