    by Anthony Wade
    August 6, 2005
    The good fight has been fought for some years now. Progress has indeed been made. There are rumblings of indictments from the Valerie Plame incident, that may exceed Karl Rove. With each passing death in Iraq a nation begins to realize that this is just not worth it, despite the bravado of Bush, a man who knows nothing about sacrifice. The Downing Street Memos are still out there, waiting (…)

    BUSH RANTS ABOUT IRAQ By Peter Fredson August 7, 2005
    NEWS ITEM: “COLOMBIA’S PRESIDENT MEETS BUSH
    “U.S. President Bush met with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe Velez at the Bush ranch near Crawford, Texas on Thursday, August 4, 2005.”
    After a talk about democracy in Colombia, Bush was asked about the status of his Iraq war. For dramatic effect the President’s standard ranting is capitalized, while my comments are not.

    By HOPE YEN
    WASHINGTON (AP) - Despite his view that death penalty appeals are clogging the courts, Supreme Court nominee John Roberts provided free legal help to an inmate languishing on Florida’s death row for two decades.
    The 25 hours of legal assistance that Roberts reported to the Senate Judiciary Committee are minuscule compared with thousands of hours contributed by dozens of other attorneys in the case of John Ferguson, who was convicted in 1978 of killing eight people in one of (…)

    By Amy Goodman and David Goodman
    ASTORY THAT the U.S. government hoped would never see the light of day finally has been published, 60 years after it was spiked by military censors. The discovery of reporter George Weller’s firsthand account of conditions in post-nuclear Nagasaki sheds light on one of the great journalistic betrayals of the last century: the cover-up of the effects of the atomic bombing on Japan.
    On Aug. 6, 1945, the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb on Hiroshima; three days (…)
