Bush's military is out of control both internationally and domestically. There are reports from everywhere. Redefining the military war ethic is simply a propaganda tool, no different than the 'ethic course' the White House Staff had to take after the arrest of Lewis Libby.
English-born Moazzam Begg was living in Pakistan with his wife and children when he says he was kidnapped at gunpoint, interrogated, tortured and later imprisoned by U.S. forces in Afghanistan and Guantanamo Bay. Take action in June to end abuses like these.

Everyone has a different predictions depending on who one talks to, I don't see that prediction is important except it gives the sense of danger that it should.. It's a matter of paying attention as well as having effective evacuation routes. Keep in mind there were record deaths last year. There is possiblity again this year if the danger is played down.
Up to 6 major hurricanes expected June 01,2006 Jennifer C. Smith Monitor Staff Writer
McALLEN — In the words of the late, great actress Bette Davis: "Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be bumpy night."
Or a bumpy few months for the Rio Grande Valley, if 2006 hurricane predictions are accurate.
The Atlantic hurricane season starts today, and National Hurricane Center meteorologists are predicting up to 16 named storms — four to six of them major hurricanes — in the Gulf of Mexico and Atlantic Ocean.
The number is significantly less than last year’s record 28 storms. But, don’t be fooled: Caution is the highest priority.

Hurricane season may not match '05
Associated Press
FORT COLLINS, Colo. - The Atlantic hurricane season that officially starts today will be active, but it shouldn't be as destructive as last year's record-setting season, one of the nation's top hurricane forecasters said Wednesday.
The latest forecast from William Gray's team at Colorado State University calls for 17 named storms for the 2006 season. Nine storms are expected to become hurricanes, and five of those are expected to have winds of 111 mph or greater, the forecasters said.
The four big storms that made landfall in 2005 set a record.
"Statistically, the odds of having four major storms make landfall this year are very small," said Phil Klotzbach, a research associate on the team.

Iran isn't using talks to find peace, it's using it as a game to buy time to measure it's opposition and plan attacks against them. No one can accuse the Iranian President of lying, he has to be honest before Allah and makes his plans known regardless it's genocidal intent. Iran has no reason to cause these problems for the world but they'll do it anyway.

I've seen all I have to. This program attempts to be 'the expert' on everything while propagandizing for Bush. I don't know where Cooper gets the 'estimate that a shrimp boat was carried three miles when the levee and accompanying canal is about 100 feet away. I don't know where that comes from. The shrimp boat was obviously deposted in the splash zone of the nearby canal. ?????
Enough.
