ABOUT FACE 1/2/2005 Aviation
Week & Space Technology: "The White House Office of Management and
Budget is telling the Pentagon to slash its 2006 budget plan by $10 billion and
prepare for another $10-billion cut each year for the duration of the future
years' defense plan, sending military officials scrambling to comply with the
last-minute financial demand."
Pipes Favors Concentration Camps
By Juan Cole 1/2/2005 Axis of Logic: "That the
Revisionist-Zionist extremist Daniel Pipes has fond visions of rounding up
Muslim Americans and putting them in concentration camps isn't a big surprise.
That a mainstream American newspaper would publish this David-Dukeian evil is.
Of course, this is also a man that President Bush appointed to a temporary
vacancy at the United States Institute of Peace, after the Senate understandably
balked at a regular appointment for him. Pipes's little project requires him to
attempt to justify the internment of American citizens (of Japanese ancestry)
during World War II, a violation on several grounds of the Bill of Rights. I
hope Asian-Americans realize that a key wing of the Republican Party, i.e. the
Neoconservatives, wishes them ill. If the American yahoos ever start putting
people in concentration camps, I think we may be assured that they won't stop
with the Muslims or the Asians, and Mr. Pipes will come to have reason to regret
his imprudence and, frankly, his demonic implication."

US Muslims Fingerprinted at Border 1/1/2005 Arab
News: "US Muslim organizations are calling for an investigation by the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) into an incident at the Canadian border
where American Muslim citizens were singled out for special security checks
based on their attendance at an Islamic conference. They were held until they
agreed to be fingerprinted. The Washington-based Council on American-Islamic
Relations (CAIR) said the incident was a disturbing example of religious
profiling that would have a chilling effect on the constitutional rights of
American Muslims, particularly the right to the free exercise of religion,
freedom of speech, peaceful assembly, and the right to be “secure in their
persons; against unreasonable searches.”"
Did We Bounce An Election? 1/1/2005 Columbus
Free Press: "The canvass report (available as a pdf from the Secretary
of State's website http://www.sos.state.nm.us/Election/cntyindx04.html) is the
official record of the election results. It is certified by the state Canvassing
Board (consisting of Governor Bill Richardson, Secretary of State Rebecca Vigil-Giron
and Supreme Court Chief Justice Patricia Maes) and is used as the basis for
determining who will represent the people of New Mexico in public offices and,
in a presidential election, which slate of electors will be chosen for the
Electoral College. With so much at stake, one would expect the canvass report to
be a lot cleaner than my checkbook. That is not the case. Much has been made of
New Mexico's dubious honor of leading the nation in undervote percentage. I
recently wrote an article pointing out the alarming number of phantom votes
lurking in the New Mexico canvass report. Just what are undervotes and phantom
votes and what do they tell us about our election process?"

Former Congressman Peter Deutsch to Assist Constitutional Challenge of Electors on Behalf of ReDefeatBush, DoNotConcede Coalition, Others 12/31/2004 ReDefeat
Bush: "The Committee to ReDefeat the President, a federal PAC better
known by the name of its popular ReDefeatBush.com Web site, has secured the
assistance of Peter Deutsch, who will conclude his tenure as a Member of the
U.S. House of Representatives at noon on Monday, Jan. 3, 2005. Deutsch will help
ReDefeatBush and other organizations that are working on a Constitutional
Challenge to the electoral votes of Florida, Ohio and potentially other states.
Preparations are underway for a public forum on Wednesday afternoon at the
Capitol at which Deutch will publicly question some of the key witnesses to
activities that may have surpassed the boundaries of normal partisanship and
crossed over into illegal activity in Florida. In his preparation Deutsch has
the assistance of Wayne Madsen, an experienced analyst and investigator who
previously worked for the National Security Agency. For the benefit of Members
of Congress considering supporting the challenge Deutsch will be publicly
questioning Bev Harris of Black Box Voting, who witnessed the unlawful disposal
of original voter registreys that are required to be archived under Florida law.
He will also question Clint Curtis, the Florida whistleblower who has testified
that he was asked by Congressman Tom Feeney's to create the software necessary
to modify the results of electronic voting machines."

No holiday for vote thieves 12/29/2004 Black
Commentator: "The dean of the Congressional Black Caucus is confident
that at least a few U.S. senators will join House members on Jan. 6 to question
the fairness of the Nov. 2 election. John Conyers Jr., the ranking Democrat on
the House Judiciary Committee, told Salon.com he doesn’t believe the Senate
will repeat its performance of four years ago, when Black lawmakers sought in
vain for one senatorial objection to “official misconduct, deliberate fraud
and an attempt to suppress voter turnout by unlawful means” in Florida, as
Congressman Alcee Hastings, D-Fla., put it at the time. “No, I think the
Senate is going to go along with an inquiry this time,” said Conyers. “I
don't think they would embarrass themselves to let this happen two times in a
row … I just don't think the Senate would get caught in that position.”
Conyers is careful not to name names, claiming he hasn’t spoken directly to a
single senator, but adding, “There are Republicans who support what I'm doing
who haven't been willing to come forward.”"

Story: "In the letter, displayed below and on the following pages,

to ignore actual ballots in the recount—"is an invitation to completely
ignore the purpose of the recount law." "

Ohio Official Refuses Interview Over Vote 12/27/2004 AP: "Secretary
of State Kenneth Blackwell has requested a protective order to prevent him from
being interviewed as part of an unusual court challenge of the presidential
vote. Blackwell, in a court filing, says he's not required to be interviewed by
lawyers as a high-ranking public official, and accused the voters challenging
the results of ``frivolous conduct'' and abusive and unnecessary requests of
elections officials around the state."

State lawmakers look to prevent future recounts 12/27/2004 Chillicothe
Gazette, OH: "Lawmakers and Secretary of State Ken Blackwell are
considering restrictions on who can ask for a recount. They also may seek a
price increase. The proposals likely will be part of a broader election reform
bill. Blackwell calls the $10 cost per precinct a "basement bargain
price" that has been unchanged since 1956, likely because a candidate has
never requested a statewide recount in Ohio."

Conspiracies theorized, or conspiracies invoked? 12/27/2004 MSNBC,
Keith Olbermann: "I would caution the media not to read more into what
the Kerry-Edwards campaign has said," Mr. Hoffheimer advised us by e-mail,
"than what you hear in the plain meaning of our comments. There are many
conspiracy theorists opining these days. There are many allegations of fraud.
But this presidential election is over. The Bush-Cheney ticket has won. The
Kerry-Edwards campaign has found no conspiracy and no fraud in Ohio, though
there have been many irregularities that cry out to be fixed for future
elections. Senator Kerry and we in Ohio intend to fix them. When all of the
problems in Ohio are added together, however bad they are, they do not add up to
a victory for Kerry-Edwards. Senator Kerry's fully-informed and extremely
careful assessment the day after the election and before he conceded remains
accurate today, notwithstanding all the details we have since learned."

Doing the Right Thing 12/27/2004 Znet: "Jesse
Jackson and the Green Party are both on the progressive side of the political
spectrum, but it's still quite something to see them, along with many other
groups, coming together to try to get to the bottom of the voter
disenfranchisement/election machine fraud/voter suppression scandal that
continues to grow despite a near-whiteout by the corporate media."
"There
is one safeguard known generally to the wise, which is an advantage and
security to all, but especially to Democracies as against despots:
suspicion." -- Demosthenes
