House Democrats form anti-war coalition
A group of 19 House Democrats yesterday pledged to build a congressional coalition to oppose a U.S. military attack on Iraq.
“Unilateral military action by the United States against Iraq is unjustified, unwarranted and illegal,” said Rep. Dennis J. Kucinich, who predicted “dozens” more Democrats would join their group in coming days to oppose the Bush administration’s plan for an attack. “The administration has failed to make the case that Iraq poses an imminent or immediate threat to the United States.”
Mr. Kucinich, Ohio Democrat, has been leading the anti-war effort. He said there is no credible evidence linking Iraq to the September 11 terrorist attacks or to the al Qaeda network. Mr. Kucinich also said there is no credible evidence that Iraq possesses weapons of mass destruction.

New Fox TV game show: Run for President
Media tycoon Rupert Murdoch’s TV empire is launching a game show to transform an unknown into an American political idol who would use the stardom to run for the White House in 2004.
“Leave it to Fox to find a way to further diminish politics and public life in America,” said Thomas Mann, a political analyst at the Washington-based Brookings Institution.
“It’s a sort of antiparty, antisystem, celebrity-based approach that reinforces the worst tendencies of our politics. It’s sad — but not surprising.”

Yet another police beating videotaped
The tape tells the story: A man already in handcuffs was struck and maced by a New York City Police Department officer.
The incident happened in the very same precinct where Abner Louima was brutally attacked. In fact, the officer involved was assigned there right after the Louima torture case to diversify the stationhouse.
Now, that officer is charged with a vicious assault that was all captured on home video.
