Associated Press protests Justice, subpoena of reporter
Yes, the Bushies have even managed to alarm the normally sedate, quite mainstream Associated Press, who now have a mini-site detailing the invasion of rights and high handed tactics of DOJ investigating their reporters.

Suspected Al Quaida terrorist escapes
The Department of Homeland Security has alerted Scotland that the Loch Ness Monster Formerly Known as Nessie, is, in fact, a highly trained Al Quaida terrorist operative. This photo shows “Nessie” successfully escaping from a Navy SEAL squad last week.
When asked why Al Quaida would be in Scotland, insiders theorized they had fled from Afghanistan to a secretive hideout in or around Loch Ness and were planning a terrorist assault upon Norway. “It appears we will have to poison or bomb most of the lochs in Scotland in order to free them from terrorism”, one staffer noted, adding they expected the usual whiny resistance from the local governing bodies involved.
Highly placed sources in the White House were quoted off the record as saying “Scots do make great whiskey, but darn it we have to bomb them out of their kilts and back to the Stone Age. It’s the only way to make the world safe for those who love freedom. And I damn sure will miss their whiskey.”

Why is the United States flirting with a new doctrine of preemptive war so radical it has no precedent in international law or American history — and why hasn’t this flirtation provoked our politicians to conduct a serious national debate, first of all in Congress?
It isn’t easy for the world’s leading power to alarm all of its allies in a matter of months, but this is what the United States has done, for purposes that remain mysterious.

Norman Mailer lashes out at ‘self-serving US patriotism’
Norman Mailer has sounded what he hopes will be a “wake-up call for America“, warning that the wave of patriotism sweeping the United States as it prepares to go to war with Iraq could swiftly turn into fascism
Mailer, who supported the previous Bush administration during the 1991 Gulf war - reportedly because he felt the United States was failing and needed a war - tells Americans that “when you have a great country it’s your duty to be critical of it so it can become even greater…
“Culturally, emotionally America is growing more loutish, arrogant, and vain. I detest this totally promiscuous patriotism. Wave a little flag and become a good person? Ugly.
“If we have a depression or fall into desperate economic times, I don’t know what’s going to hold the country together…
“There’s just too much anger here, too much ruptured vanity, too much shock, too much identity crisis. And worst of all, too much patriotism. Patriotism in a country that’s failing has a logical tendency to turn fascistic.”

Time for a new Black Power movement - a peace movement
African Americans were appalled but not surprised by the terrorist attack, says author Walter Mosley. They understand the anger of America’s enemies, which is why they should be the ones to lead a new movement for peace
“I mean, take 11 September: that was not an act endorsed by God. No matter what these misguided people might believe, that was an act of fanatical craziness. What I believe is that the only way to make sure that sort of atrocity does not happen again is to make sure we don’t do it to anyone else.”
