Prospect Magazine - Britain's Intelligent Conversation: "My imaginary exchange between him and Bin Laden tries to do two things: to comprehend at least part of the twisted worldview that inspires Bin Laden, for we cannot defeat it without understanding it; and second, to explore a neglected alternative. My Bin Laden is an intellectual construct, a metaphor, referring not so much to the real man as to a more generic pro-terror radical Islamist. "

The most worrying of these is the suspicion that Mr Bin Laden had already been in custody for a considerable period. George Bush's official spokesman has vehemently denied charges that the al-Qaida leader was actually apprehended in December 2001."

Daily Times - Site Edition:"According to a stunning report posted by a retired Navy Lt Commander and 28-year veteran of the Defense Department (DoD), the Bush administration’s assurance about finding weapons of mass destruction in Iraq was based on a Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) plan to “plant” WMDs inside the country. Nelda Rogers, the Pentagon whistleblower, claims the plan failed when the secret mission was mistakenly taken out by “friendly fire”, the Environmentalists Against War report."

To the degree that he is in the spotlight, he continues to shift the Democratic party platform in the direction of progressive change."

Whiskey Bar: The Passion of John Kerry:"The hope of the world

America's voters have done themselves a great favour. If they had picked Mr Dean, Mr Bush would have made mincemeat of him. By picking Mr Kerry, they have given the Democrats their best chance of recapturing the White House. That is something for Britons to welcome too. Nothing in world politics would make more difference to the rest of us than a change in the White House.

The free world has never had a stronger interest in the result of a US election than it has in the defeat of Mr Bush. Senator Kerry carries the hopes not just of millions of Americans but of millions of British well-wishers, not to mention those of nations throughout Europe and the world."


"Jeebus yes. I prefer him from way back. From his voting record he forgot about the outrages of Vietnam, Mr. 'let's vote defense money'. And let's not forget that he is Eastern establishment to the max.

My pythian drug-hazed inner self is prophesying... Kerry is the softball version of Dubya. The one that's supposed to get all of us to loosen up and not worry about the state of the nation. The good cop/bad cop game, but replace the word cop with 'professional politician'.

Where is my tinfoil hat? I must have it. It will help me relax.
