Re: CNN Feature On Training Of US troops For Urban Warfare,by Jim Warren | | This morning, CNN aired a backgrounder on how US ground troops are now being trained in door-to-door urban (city and residential) warfare. Even though almost *all* of the ground wars we have ever fought (except perhaps Viet Nam and Iraq-I) have involved extensive door-to-door fighting, the commander who was showing off his new training facility mentioned that more of such facilities are only-NOW being built, and urban-warfare training is NOW being escalated.[more] |

Secret Tribunal Convicted U.S. 'War Hero',by Jeff Nesmith | | He has been called "an authentic American war hero" whose acts may have saved the lives of hundreds of American civilians. Yet George Johann Dasch was tried as a saboteur by a secret militarytribunal, similar to the one President Bush hopes will try members of Osama bin Laden's terrorist network, al Qaeda. He was found guilty in 1942 and sent to the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary.[more] |
Who Gave Your Rights Away?,by Harry Browne | | Many conservatives, liberals and libertarians are protesting the numerous invasions of your liberty that Congress and the Bush administration have imposed during the past two months. ; But without realizing it, many of the protestors brought these invasions on themselves. [more] |
Selling Terror,by David Banisar | | The privacy implications of creating a giant tracking system of all people in the U.S. does not seem to bother these modern Masters of the Universe. After all corporate profits and ego are more important than the little people. And of course no one bothers to mention the security aspects of creating a giant national database linking all of a person's activities and movements together, accessible to all cops in the name of fighting terrorism.[more] |
New Battles in Old War Over Freedom of Speech,by Diana Jean Schemo | | On campuses across the country, heightened tensions and sensitivitiesfollowing the Sept. 11 attacks have unleashed an avalanche of clashes over free expression. [more] |

Drug War Koans,by M. Simon | | Do you support drug prohibition because it finances criminals at home or because it finances terrorists abroad? What is the difference between a pile of vegetables and a milliondollars? Prohibition.[more] |
FBI Develops Eavesdropping Tools,by Ted Bridis | | The FBI is going to new lengths to be sure it can eavesdrop on high-tech communications, secretlybuilding "Magic Lantern" software to monitor computer use. Separately, the agency is urging phone companies to change their networks for more reliable wiretaps in the digital age.[more] |
It Can Happen Here, 'Patriot' Act Establishes Socialist Dictatorship,by Justin Raimondo | | Bullied and herded by the leaders of both parties, our witless Solons inWashington passed the "USA PATRIOT Act" by a huge margin. Since thebill wasn't even printed before the vote, they couldn't possibly have read this372-page document. But even if they had read it, it's doubtful they wouldhave balked at passing the most draconian wartime measure since theinfamous Alien and Sedition Acts. [more] |
Shooting Match,by Sam MacDonald | | Does the anti-gun crowd think you're stupid? How bad has the post-September 11 era been for the anti-gunlobby? To understand fully, consider a simple thought experiment:[more] |
Once Hired, Never Fired,by Michelle Malkin | | Looks like the White House has already traded in its recently adopted motto, "Let's Roll," for a new slogan: "Let's Roll Over."[more] |

"Uprising" Letter to NBC,by Benjamin Cashner | | Dear NBC: I thoroughly enjoyed your recent original movie "Uprising". I hope thatNBC will continue to show quality, entertaining programs such as this in thefuture. However, I am confused on several points and perhaps you could helpme to understand.[more] |
Wartime Impositions on Civil Liberties,by Thomas J. DiLorenzo | | Jay Winik (WSJ) is dead wrong with his assertion that wartime restrictions on civil liberties do not ultimately curtail fundamental freedoms in times of peace. As he wrote, Lincoln unconstitutionally suspended the writ of habeas corpus and ordered the military to arrest thousands of Northern civilians, including dozens of newspaper publishers, state legislators, mayors and even members of Congress for opposing his domestic and war policies. No warrants were issued and no charges were ever brought. These people were summarily thrown into military prisons where some of them languished for years. [more] |
AmeriCorps Is A Boondoggle For Bureaucrats,by James Bovard | | John McCain is leading a push to expand AmeriCorps, the "national service" program Bill Clinton established, by boosting the number of its members from 50,000 to 250,000. McCain says AmeriCorps members "have begun to glimpse the glory of serving the cause of freedom." But it is difficult to understand what government make-work projects have to do with freedom.[more] |
Where Have All the Christians Gone?,by Carl Pearlston | | There is no question that Islamicists--those who profess a radical, fundamentalist Islam which becomes more a political ideology than a religion--are intolerant of non-Moslems and seek to eliminate any religious minorities within their borders. And when Islamicists control the government, they put those beliefs and policies into practice with the full force of governmental power. [more] |
Snitching at the retail level,by Scott Bernard Nelson | | Buried in the more than 300 pages of the new law is a provision that "any person engaged in a trade or business" has to file a government report if a customer spends $10,000 or more in cash. The threshold is cumulative and applies to multiple purchases if they're somehow related -- three $4,000 pieces of furniture, for example, might trigger a filing.[more] |
The Lost-Cause Syndrome,by Barry Farber | | Don't misunderstand. I'm not claiming to be one of the bravest Americans. I'm merely claiming to be among the most fearless.The brave acknowledge danger and face it. The fearless simply don't believe there's that much danger.[more] |
An Angry American Asks,by Alison C. Hofley | | After having just traveled from Chicago to Boston this past weekend I am irate at the evolution of the airport into the police state. First, I was not permitted to board my flight because, after having waited for 45 minutes for "security clearance" I finally was able to check in at 12:31 for a 1:00 flight. The bitter-faced ticket agent told me I COULD NOT BOARD because my bag will be on the plane without me since I would not be able to make it through ANOTHER security point in 30 minutes. I had to wait 7 hours before I could get on another flight, since ATA tickets are not honored by major carriers. [more] |
Homeland Insecurity,by R.V. Scheide | | A Sacramento journalist is taken into custody by police and forced to destroy photos by an over-zealous National Guardsman. Apparently, the terrorists are indeed causing instability.[more] |
If the Nazis Could See Us Now!,by Penney Morgan | | On October 23, a nefarious, conniving group of lawyers and public health experts from Georgetown University and Johns Hopkins University excreted one of the most sinister and dangerous documents ever written in the history of the United States. This degenerate monstrosity, commissioned by the Center For Disease Control in Atlanta, Georgia, is titled the Model State Emergency Health Powers Act. It is intended to be a templet for various state laws that will be written in the future to deal with any national health emergency--real or contrived.[more] |
Smallpox Plan Grants Sweeping Power,by Michael Lasalandra | | Public health officials want to shut down roads and airports, herd people into sports stadiums and, if needed, quarantine entire cities in the event of a smallpox attack, according to a plan being forwarded to all 50 governors this week.[more] |

Israeli Author Predicts Third World War,by Dave Eberhart | | While Muslim moderate Shaykh Kabbani warns of the infiltration into the U.S. of breakaway Muslim extremists, Israeli author and lecturer Avi Lipkin casts aside all pretense of political correctness with his claim that Christians and Jews are faced off with Muslim "revolutionaries” in "a struggle for the direction of planet Earth.”[more] |
Claremont Institute Precepts: "A Hard Line on Turkey",by Ken Masugi, Director, Center for Local Government | | "A Hard Line on Turkey" (November 20) indicates the profundity of the problem many Muslims have in becoming American. But the difficulty is a far more serious one than whether to eat turkey.[more] |
Free to be stupid,by Doug Bandow | | America is a great country. What better evidence is there than the opportunity people have to say the stupidest, most witless things? Many Americans probably think that Washington, D.C., has a monopoly on idiocy. Not true. [more] |
You Can Never Find A Lib When You Need One,by Marianne M. Jennings | | Howard Fineman of Newsweek and liberal mind, confesses that employing torture against the al-Qaeda/ bin Laden crowd is not a bad idea.

Something Sobering and Sad,by Peter Mancus | | How large was that tax on tea the British Crown tried to unilaterally impose on the colonials? How large was the tax behind the Stamp Act? [more] |
Many Nervous About Expanded Fed Powers,by Bob Port | | Attorney General John Ashcroft is making sweeping changes in federal law enforcement to fight America's war on terrorism, but his efforts have yet to yield a single indictment and are generating growing concern among both parties in Congress that he is overstepping his authority.[more] |
No Kangaroo Courtsfrom About.com | | Once upon a time, a fellow named Lambden P. Milligan was sentenced todeath by an army court in Indiana for allegedly disloyal activities against theUnited States. Perturbed not just by the death sentence, but by the fact that itwas handed down by military officers in a proceeding removed from the usual nicetiesof due process, Milligan appealed. In a landmark decision handed down in 1866,the Supreme Court ruled: "Martial rule can never exist where the courts are open, andin the proper and unobstructed exercise of their jurisdiction. It is also confined to thelocality of actual war." [more] |
Has Ashcroft Read The Constitution,by Nat Hentoff | | When Attorney General John Ashcroft repeatedly says "We're going to protect and honor the Constitution.We'll not be driven to abandon our freedoms by those who would seek to destroy them," Iincreasingly wonder whether he has recently read the United States Constitution. [more] |
Rumsfeld: Plagues of Biblical Job,by J. Michael Waller | | As the Taliban forces in northern Afghanistan imploded under military and diplomatic pressures carefully coordinated by Secretary of Defense DonaldRumsfeld and the president's national-security team, a disgusted seniorDefense Department official summed up the plagues of the Clinton defensebureaucracy that Rumsfeld had inherited. "This is the only building inWashington that doesn't know we're at war," the official said, ticking offexamples of what the Clinton years did to the military culture there:[more] |
My Day At the Airport,by Nancy Oden | | On Thursday, November 1, 2001, I left my farmhouse on the North Coast of Maine, where I'm an organic grower,and headed for the Bangor International Airport in Bangor, Maine. I was dressed conservatively in a long,brown skirt with a matching jacket and turtleneck sweater, no jewelry, no buttons or other politicalindications attached, looking very like other women my age in this part of the world.[more] |
Dead Men Walking?,by Thomas H. Lipscomb | | The Islamic world after the terrorist attack of September 11th is teetering on the edge of massive change with a global realignment as extensive as the collapse of the Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact in 1989 possibly underway. In retrospect Osama bin Laden may be seen as the most effective terrorist since Gavrilo Princip killed the Hapsburg heir Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914. [more] |
The Voices of Moderate Islam,by Jeff Jacoby | | Seven weeks after Sept. 11, the Muslim Public Affairs Council finallycondemned Osama bin Laden as a terrorist. Sort of. [more] |
WTC Hijackers Obeyed Our Laws Until-,by Don Hull | | The U.S. Government's response to the 9/11 attacks has been much like a hand grenade, exploding in all directions at once in order to (hopefully) catch the perpetrators or make new laws that will prevent future terrorism.[more] |

Waco Lessons for War, What Evil Can Do,by Dave Kopel and Paul H. Blackman | | The Pentagon and elite opinion seem surprised that the Taliban continue to fight with determination — in marked contrast to the Iraqi army of 1991, which promised "the mother of all battles," but which waged war like a bunch of second-grade girls. The Pentagon, and the American public, need to remember how determined pure evil can be. Consider the lessons taught by the tenacious followers of another evil man: David Koresh[more] |
America's Disgraceful History Of Military "Trials",by Thomas J. DiLorenzo | | The latest assault on the civil liberties of the American people in the name of fightingterrorism is President Bush’s recent decision to use U.S. military tribunals to try foreignersaccused of terrorist attacks and to decide on sentences, including the death penalty. Thisis a horrible idea with a horrible precedent: the largest mass execution in U.S. history.[more] |
Re: The Death of the Constitution,by Gregory A. Hession J.D. | | Mr. William Huff asserted in a recent letter that the Constitution of the United States "is not dead in any sensewhatsoever." That is clearly not true, because the Congress, Executive Branch, and Courts generally act as thoughit is not even there. They do what they want, secure in the knowledge that no one has the power to thwart theirexpansions of government. [more] |
Gross Usurpation of Power,by David Dieteman | | The Constitution of the United States is a law for rulers and people,equally in war and in peace, and covers with the shield of itsprotection all classes of men, at all times, and under allcircumstances. No doctrine, involving more pernicious consequences,was ever invented by the wit of man than that any of its provisionscan be suspended during any of the great exigencies of government.[more] |
