Samir Kuntar, Israel's longest held Lebanese prisoner who has been incarcerated in Israeli jail for the past 30 years. In fact the Hezbollah operation last year in which 2 Israeli soldiers were kidnapped, which sparked the 34 day long war, was meant to use the 2 soldiers as bargaining chips in order to force Israel to release Samir Kuntar.

From Axis of Logic: The politicians in Washington, the Pentagon and the corporate media would have us believe that they "are making progress" and that "the surge is working" in Iraq. However, there is overwhelming evidence that the war is lost and Washington is in crisis. The Democrats are under tremendous pressure and on the defensive - hanging on to their ridiculous arguments against immediate troop withdrawal.

Every day we read about 20 - 50 - 70 or 100 more Iraqis killed in this war. Every day more U.S. soldiers are killed in this aimless, criminal aggression. Every day we read of the failing U.S. economy, the loss of jobs and homes. Every day we learn more about the growing failure of our government to provide adequate education, U.S. infrastructure, health care, housing and jobs - with money for these domestic needs being poured into our own defeat in Iraq.

The Iraqi people are doing their part to end the occupation. They are paying with their lives. We must do our part to help them and the majority of U.S. troops who want to come home. We must build the momentum against the war and increase the pressure on the Democrats. We cannot abandon the people of Iraq and we cannot waver in our commitment. The corporate government in Washington will not stop until we stop them. Join us in September at the March on Washington and the Second Encampment Against the War!

Claims to be "apolitical" no longer provide refuge and virtually everyone in the U.S. now has access to what is happening in Iraq. We either place our time and resources with the war or against the war. If you absolutely cannot be in Washington in September, contribute financially. If you cannot contribute financially, send someone in your place and help promote this project. Read below how you can participate in this direct action to stop the war and bring the troops home.

Tom Hayden, a seminal force in the 60’s, articulated the position of the left and pushed the movement forward. As did the Los Angeles Free Press - the nation’s first ‘alternative’ newspaper. In recognition of his constant and on-going work to bring government policy in line with the people’s preference, the LAFreep, with original Editor Art Kunkin and new Publisher, Steven M. Finger, has honored Tom Hayden with the first-ever Los Angeles Free Press Lifetime Dedication Award.

An important cause that Jane Bowell of SoulfulChemistry,com and Jeff Fisher, her future husband want the people in Baltimore, Maryland to know all about. This information can be addressed and rectified faster when IndyMedia decides to publish the absolute truth world-wide about why I am testifying against Vice President Richard B Cheney. Please read "The Heart and Soul of the Nation" by Jeff Fisher that the NAACP made possible last July.
I am the man who was rushed out by security on July 20, 2006 when George Bush decided to visit the Convention after six years of dissing all African Americans who desire true equality. The secret service had a great time with me getting further information since they had been investigating identity theft and the 2000 election coup even prior to that election. The cover up must be revealed world-wide.

The Democrats are now in bed with the Bush-Cheney Gang, who launched the Iraqi War based on a pack of rotten lies. Sen. Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) continues to vote to fund the conflict. Her mantra: “I support the troops,” is rebutted by the Iraq Veterans Against the War, who insist: “Funding the war is killing the troops.” The protesters at Sen. Mikulski’s Hi Rise residence, on 08/03/07, bore witness to her complicity in the evil that is the Iraqi War.
