CommonDreams: "Today the University of California's Berkeley Quantitative Methods Research Team released a statistical study - the sole method available to monitor the accuracy of e- voting - reporting irregularities associated with electronic voting machines may have awarded 130,000-260,000 or more excess votes to President George W. Bush in Florida in the 2004 presidential election."
Anomalies indicative of fraud have been found.
ChicagoTribune: "Porter Goss, the new intelligence chief, has told Central Intelligence Agency employees that their job is to 'support the administration and its policies in our work', a copy of an internal memorandum shows."
Which just means analysts will have to conform to administration policies. If Bush wants war, they will have to come up with documents that support this vision.
BostonGlobe: "Hungary will try to withdraw its troops from Iraq as soon as possible, the prime minister said Thursday."
Rolling Stone: "The nineteen months since the war in Iraq began, some of the most outspoken critics of President Bush's plan of attack have come from a group that should have been the most supportive: retired senior military leaders. We spoke with a group of generals and admirals that included a former supreme Allied commander and a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs, and they all agreed on one thing: Bush screwed up."
CounterPunch: "The aggressive foreign and domestic strategies of the Neocons carry with them a twofold danger. First, the extremely invasive and intrusive domestic policies put into place after 9/11 - of which the USA PATRIOT Act is the most obvious example - risk turning the United States into the same sort of oppressive regime that we so despised in the former Soviet Union. Second, this intense militarism and reckless pattern of deficit spending threatens to bankrupt the United States in much the same way that the Soviet Union was destroyed by its massive military expenditure during the Cold War."
